9/15 morning out of Saugatuck

[wisejohn]

Fished out of Saugatuck Monday morning, with light east winds.  Some small boats working the shallow, but we went to 80 FOW to begin.  Surface water from 80 to 110 FOW was 65 F all the way down to the last 15-20 ft from the bottom, where the thermocline dropped to 54-56 F.

Picked up a 5 lb coho at 8:30 am on DR with white/green ladderback and green paddle.  Marks declined as the sun rose in the sky.  As we trolled back to the pier there were more bait-balls from 50-70 FOW and some marks, but no takers.

Was thinking about heading out this afternoon, but my gear is a mess after an Northern Ontario walleye trip.  I understand a good number of fish are out in 180-220.
