Saugatuck Live 8/22

[jdh]

Fishing the pier heads.  0/1 so far.  Marking good numbers of fish.

[jdh]

Got an 18 lb hen on chrome red head plug.

And just picked up a second brighter hen at 18.2 lbs.

[jdh]

Lost another one on a plug.  How to make these fish bite in the sun?

[FBD]

Go slightly deeper and work the bottom.  Grind low and slow…

[jdh]

Tried a few passes as suggested but got nothing. Heading in.  Going to run up to Grand Haven this afternoon.

[Reel-y-hooked]

Ditto what FBD said. Down low and troll slow a little deeper. 

[jdh]

Worked from 100 to 150 fow with a deep meet program.  Nothing.  And marking nothing deep.  Switched to a shallow coho program and got 1 right away 35 down on a flasher fly.  Meat rig just fired on diver back 55 feet.  Worked 150 to 200 and back into 130 now.

[FBD]

Ah by slightly deeper I meant like 25-40’

[jdh]

We tried that in Saugatuck for an hour with nothing.  Then we switched up and trailered to Grand Haven.

Ended up 5/7 in Grand Haven.  4 kings and a coho.  All kings cought in 45 fow on plugs in front of the piers.  One hour of chaos from 8 to 9 pm.
