Jim F Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 We moved the boat down to South Haven from Saugatuck on Friday and fished along the way. The had at least 25 bites and kept 19 fish the largest being a 17.5 Lb. King. Most hits were on the dipsy's and riggers we were fishing between 80 and 110 FOW. Most of our fishing was between the ball and finished about 8 miles north of SH. Saturday we struggled to catch our 10 fish. We had two different set-ups bit off; a Howie fly behind a white e-chip pro-trol blade running 90 down on the chute rigger and a spoon on the outdown rigger. At the end of the day we had a terrific rip on the low diver but it did not hook up. We ended up with an 88 Lb box which was a little disappointing. Sunday was a better day and we boated 14 fish and turned in a weight of 101 lbs. The fish were a little deeper at about 140 FOW. We even took one fish on the chute trolling 170 FOW 160 feet down. We are looking forward to fishing Grand Haven in a couple of weeks. Sorry for the late post;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Nice job Jim! What is your boat name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim F Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 The name of our boat is "Tenacious II". We fish an '89 27' Sea Ray Amberjack. Tenacious I is a 23' Sea Ox which we still have for sale and would make someone a heck of a deal on. Not a thing wrong with the Sea Ox we just got such a good deal on the Sea Ray we could not pass it up and it sure is nice to have more room to carry a few more people along.
