Another week of limit catches in Saugatuck

[westrate]

8/5/2007

The fishing continues to be very good with 12 to 22 fish per trip. The difference between the catching 12 or 22 depended on how many you lose since you would have up to 35 fish on every day. The fish where in 80 to 120 foot of water early in the week and then on Saturday we move out to 180 foot of water and found some big 4 year olds out there. Three fourth of the catch are 4 year old salmon in the mid to high teens. There also are a few Coho, 2 and 3 year old chinook, steelhead and lake trout mixed into the creel.

The methods did not change from last week to this week. The flashers and flies produced on the downriggers and dipsy divers and Stingray lures on 150, 200 and 300 foot of copper. See last weeks report for the detailed combinations and colors.

I think that the salmon will be moving into deeper water if the water temperature continues to increase. There is still a considerable amount of bait in 70 to 80 foot of water, so early morning and late evening should productive just outside the bait and then you may have to move out into deeper water as it gets brighter.
