Thanks for the report. I think we talked to you on the dock, around noon. I had the blue Lund. We caught 2 fish (1 Brown trout and 1 king) and were apparently the first ones to use the cleaning station at about 12:30PM. It seemed like everyone out there was searching for the fish. I think the mature kings have finally pushed up river.

Went out at 4pm. It was a rough ride for a couple of hours but the lake laid down for a perfect night of fishing. Fished 85' to 120' Caught one fish at 115' and all the other hits and fish were around 90'-95' stretching from 6pm to 9:30pm. We didn't mark many fish at all, except after 8pm around 85'-90'. Marked a couple bait balls and fish all over the water column Went 5 for 7, all kings, 11-15 lbs. All fish were caught on a SWR set at 45-50 ft. down. We started only running one SWR but tried to replicate it on the other rigger after the first two fish. If I had another rigger or another Mixed Veggie spoon I would have run it. Ran wire divers with meat rigs but no luck with the exception that one rig came in with half of the meat missing. Looks like a fish hit the meat but missed the hook, because the rod never moved. Ran 6 rods. Here is what worked for each fish: 1.Mixed Veggie 2.Mixed Veggie 3. Blue Dolphin Lost a fish on a slide diver with firetiger 10" Spin Doctor and a Old Balls Yogurt fly 4. Moonshine Magnum Guppy Getter Lost a steelhead on a Moonshine Magnum Guppy Getter 5.Magnum Moonshine Carbon 14 Great night out of South Haven!

FishJay, I saw you out there this AM...assuming you are in the same boat in your profile pic, you were out a little deeper than I was. That is a nice boat, what kind of boat is it? We went 4-4, two Steel and two Lakers. All fish on copper and lead with spoons. Fished from 75 to 105 FOW. The kings are showing up more up North, hopefully they come to soon!

Thanks Kick'r. Awesome report! It is great to see a full report from a tournament boat!

South Haven - Went out Sunday morning. Starting out South of the pier and trolled South starting around 40 ft. Turned North and starting hitting the Lakers between 50 and 70 ft. Wind was out of the SW. Got one fish on a 5 color with an orange spoon and 5 on an on a blue fly from a down rigger. The rigger was set at 45 and 50 back.

Thanks. Nice report!
