Salmon Fishing in Saugatuck as of May 21

May 21, 2006

This past week produced good salmon fishing in 40 to 60 foot, 90 to 120 foot or 150 to 180 foot of water. We took some Chinook salmon of about 15 pounds, however most of the salmon where form 4 to 8 pounds with a few shakers mixed in.

Full core, 7 color, and 5 color lead core along with 300 foot copper wire produced more salmon than any other method. The color of choice changed from one day to another, however orange crush, orange and green, wonder bread, blue/green dolphin and coyote ugly where very productive. Raider, Stinger, and Dream weaver lures where always on these lines. Dipsy divers at 120 and 180 foot of line with easter egg and bumble bee kaleidoscope North Port Nailer, bloody nose Raider and bloody nose dalmation Singer produced very well behind the divers. Some people had some luck with Hot chip and Pro chip flashers and flies behind dipsy divers at 200 and 240 foot of wire. The downriggers (run 40 to 100 foot deep) where the least productive with an occasional fish with blue and green lures and silver and green lures'
