Jolly Time Posted yesterday at 01:37 AM Posted yesterday at 01:37 AM So, between work and weather, I haven't been on my boat in like two weeks. I am going out tomorrow for a 6-9pm fish. I am thinking with colder water/flip setting up in 50fow and run plugs15-45' down. What are your thoughts? Am I foolish to run in that tight and should I go out deeper and fish for 2year olds and steelheads? Or, stay tight and try for the staged fish that are possibly still around? Lay it on me. What are your thoughts?
Reel-y-hooked Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago Personally I would lean towards a little deeper water and run spoons for steelhead and non spawning salmon. There are also some late running kings still on the feed out there. good luck
Wes34 Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago Don’t be afraid to fish the pier heads. Caught a dozen Wednesday morning. All age classes and a lot of bait moved in with the cold water. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman
Jolly Time Posted 16 hours ago Author Posted 16 hours ago Thanks gentlemen. We will see? I will definitely post how we do.
2MD Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago if you are running Saugatuck then definitely pierheads - higher risk reward ratio, says PUG
Jolly Time Posted 11 hours ago Author Posted 11 hours ago I like Pug's thought pattern. As always he is sharing wisdom that few are willing to share! I for one am listening. I am going to be tight and see what offerings are in the mood infront of the pierheads. I am excited to see what happens. Hopefully some big thumps and some screaming drags.
2MD Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago yes good luck to you and don't be afraid to run even a couple mono high lines with size 4/5 plugs back 60-100ft in that 9-15fow - the coldest water is pressed tight to shore usually in these lasting East wind patterns and thankfully it is also calmest there!
Jolly Time Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago It was a goid night. We caught a couple and just enjoyed a beautiful night out on tge lake. Absolutely gorgeous!
