We had heard reports in Holland of 90-100 and 190-200.
So Wed, 4/12 in SoHa we set lines in 80' n headed SW, we got a coho in 64' last Sat.
But it was crazy, 150-170 from just little south of the piers to almost Palisades was hot.
I've fished for spring cohos for a long time n never fished deeper than 35'.
80-100, 150-170 n 200-220+ are usually great places to setup for kings. Crazy.

Link for great lakes buoys is " greatlakesbuoys.org".
It gives you a summary of all buoys and most recent observations for each buoy. Cooke n SoHa buoys were deployed this week.
Click on the buoy of choice to receive recent wind/wave/air n water temps. The newer Uglos buoys have thermisters on the anchor chains that give you temp at various deaths to bottom.

Detailed report?

I'm jealous u r so close to Lac Mich.
Yep, in St Joe I have key to fish cleaning station at Pier 1000 where my son slips his boat.
I'll se d rnail to SoHa harbormaster and city eng to see if cleacning station will open Sat.
Meant to ask guy sweeping docks yesterday.
Had to double up on hangers at the sign cause they only have 10. I'll take that problem anytime.
Happy Easter to all!!!!

Yeah Martin, understand!
When I used to go solo a few times a long time ago it was at most 3-4 miles out.
Important thing is u got out n relaxed on a super day!
Pelican texted me last night so I called him n gave him a report! He may be going today. He didn't want to solo yesterday.
Happy Easter.
Yeah launch is a mess, but it's open n free. But, fish cleaning is still closed. Reg opening time is 4/15, so maybe it will open Sat. City engineer told me sometime this summer they will replace 2 docks with new ones!
St Joe DNR launch, DNR repainted metal on docks and put all new 6x6 frames and decks! Dnr on the ball? Scarry!!!

Wind Prediction Links
Two great sites for a 5-7 day prediction of wind on any Great Lakes port are "windfinder.com" and "iwindsurf.com".
Below the wind prediction bar charts they also post weather and precip (inches/3hr).

Martin:
Good job; got the bk/wh kitty out of the box quickly.
Have you ever heard of the "color plume" area fishing in SoHa?
Yeah it's going to blow all week n Sat looks good so planning on a crew for SoHa then.
City Eng, Larry, n Harbormaster, Kate, verified that docks and temp road are in. Don't want to fight crowds on water n launch at Bentin Harbor DNR launch. Heard it was bad Sat/Sun.

South Haven City Launch Docks In?
R the docks in yet at the city launch and have they made an access road around the sewer construction? As of 10 days ago they were not!
Thks.

Thanks for reports guys!!!
My neighbor was out yesterday n today.
No report for today.
Yesterday as of around 3pm, 9 coho, 1 brown n a12# king!
He got the king near the chalets on Jager Bomb spoon on 2 colors of leadcore! Aweful early for a king. Must have been hanging at Cooke and came cruising north for a while. We've gotten small lakers there past few years this time of yr but no kings.
Most of the fish came around the Cooke plant and south. Surf temp was 48-51.7. Perfect water for Coho n kings.
Trying to take teacher friend on break out this week but blow all week until Sat.

Yep it is so nice at launch n in the lake on weekdays.
I have a list of retiree mates for during the week and worker bees for weekends ; but try to minimize weekends.

Coralee:
Congrats on retirement, you'll love it.I retired 9/3/11.
Yeah, when wind started picking up around 1230, that was our last hit at the chalets.
Glad u got some on the way back. Got one between the water plant n concrete wall, other 3 between concrete wall n chalets. Working 20-27 fow.
After we got out of 43-44 degree water from pier head mudline, temp was pretty consistent 41-42 all the way to chalets.
You fish St Joe n SoHa a lot like I do.
When my oldest son's family/rental house is not rented we usually spent a few days each week in SoHa. So we could hook up then or other times. My cousin is retired n he lives in SoHa and he goes with me a lot.
But, as u know, there are many times when you can't get a crew together.
Text me at 517-750-7452 and we can share contact info.
Thanks,
Dan
