Saugatuck 9/11 attempt

Fish were there Friday night. Everyone else headed out, we headed in. Went 3/7 scraping the piers or fishing closer to shore than the piers stuck out. Was not easy fishing with traffic and junk in the water. When that big blue trawler "Neptune" motored up we took about 20 gallons over the bow. But we also waved off a ski boat from running over a fish and they then circled around and watched us land it and cheered. All males and all smaller fish. Makes sense as the plants were in 2018. Males usually shoot the river first to stake out the good gravel abd make the redds. -

Ok, finally time catch up. Started last night with a mix of riggers, divers, and planer boards. After marking nothing in the clear water and fishing out to 30' and seeing the other boats doing nothing, I recalled how we used to fish ports where it's shallow out front. Trolled north, swapped the riggers out to spoons so we could stretch them back enough to be a head ache then put out four planer boards way out. First pass in close board gets smoked. While that's coming in rigger bounces a couple times. Still not convinced that was a fish. Land the first king, start dialing it in but hard to work the spot as I need to cut big arcs with boards out. Have a good pull back that doesn't hook up, then another, then get a nice buck. Lose a screamer that was out over 400' when it buried the board in some weeds then ran back towards us and we could not keep it tight. Picked up one more at dark. All smaller fish, like 12-15# and all hatchery. Gonna share this thread with the d n r so they know we are seeing returns. -

Pulled the riggers and put two flatlines out instead. Ever see a king hit a plug 25' from the boat? Ever see a king hit a plug 25' out when you just choked in four planer boards to make a pass up the channel? We got him but he effectively ended our night. I think we didn't get the last rod untangled until Coral Gables. -

Staging King Salmon in Milwaukee
FBD replied to tiefsa's topic in Wisconsin Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout
Thanks for sharing. I waited for the CO to choke on your last name. You needed to troll the channel in Holland ten years ago. Literally would see or hear hits on other boats before they did and we'd wrap the hot lures in a towel and throw them to our buddies as we passed each other going in and out without stopping. -

People think the mature kings are four years old. That ship sailed a long time ago and as the kings adapted to Lake Michigan most now run when they're 1-3 years old. Google search it for a ton of info. -

98% of kings mature and run at 1-3 years of age. -
The ugly stik diver rods are absolute pool sticks. Not much action at all.

Menards $1 pliers, about 4-5 per boat. Spray the metal with cooking spray when they get gummy.

What port, what fish, how deep is the water?
