Wasabi Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Anybody noticing any baitfish/alewifes in the coho stomachs from the recent slaughter goin on in SW Michigan waters? The dozen or so I've cleaned so far were all empty. http://www.mlive.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2011/04/collapse_of_lake_huron_salmon.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobber Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 my 14 two weeks ago were empty to.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mriversinco Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 2 weeks ago, out of the 15 I got only one had something in it. Looked like it could've been a goby or something, but it was beyond the stage of telling very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abel Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Maybe not as much bait in the lake like the DNR said. If it was there, this tim of year especialy, the Coho whould be able to find it. Maybe the bait we're putting there are the only thign there:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCool Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 We went on April 4th out of South Heaven, out of the 15 we caught two had gobies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Beyond Driven Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 This is not uncommon this time of year. Are the fish skinny with big heads? No, we took a couple coho in March that were pushing 4# already.When the bait shows up, well, they'll find it. And if you find bait, stay on it....
