Fishing is improving in Saugatuck

The fish are now starting to show up out of Saugatuck. The fishing was slow all week until Saturday when chinook salmon were found in 190 to 200 foot of water between Saugatuck and South Haven. On Sunday the fish showed up out of Saugatuck and we caught fish from 130 to 180 foot of water. The creel consisted of a mix of lake trout, chinook, steelhead coho and brown trout. One boat limited out with 15 fish by 10:00 and was headed in.

Down riggers produced fish at 35, 45 and 55 foot with green Hot chip flasher and fly. However the most productive was dipsy diver at 100 foot and 130 foot of line out with Stingers and Stingray lures. Lead core (3 color to 10 color) also with Stinger and Stingray lures produced very well. So the fish are being caught from the 15 foot deep to 60 foot deep.

The fishing is about 3 weeks late this year, however the fish are now showing up and hopefully, the fishing will continue to improve. For more information feel free to contact me toll free 888-253-8372 or email me at [email protected].

That sounds very similar to what we are seeing out of St. Joe too. Thanks for the report.
