Run slows in Saugatuck

[westrate]

9/27/2007

Fishing in front the piers has slowed as the water warmed and the fishing action has moved off shore. There are a few fish being caught in front of the piers early in the morning or just before dark, however there is not concentration in the shallow water. Most of the action is in 90 to 130 foot of water and also in 200 foot of water.

The best methods were downriggers at 70, 80 and 110 foot down and wire dipsy divers at 270 and 160 foot of wire. The best combinations were Hot Chip and Pro Chip flashers (chrome/chrome, white/glow, white/mountain dew) with Rapture wild fern and last supper flies. A few fish were caught on 300 and 400 foot of cooper with Stingray NBK and Craig's X-mas.

I think that if we get some cold water, we will see another school of fish move in front and continue the run. For information or reservations, email me at [email protected] or call me toll free at 888-253-8372.
