Back to deep water in Saugatuck

Rough water and high winds limited the fishing last week and changed the water temperature again. Early last week we fished in front the piers and caught a few salmon and yesterday, (Monday) we moved back out to 100 foot of water and caught lake trout and 3 and 2 year old salmon.

150 foot of copper and 300 foot of copper with nitro stingray spoons produced some salmon and some hits in the deeper water; however the best method was dipsy divers at 150 foot with the live wire Pro Troll with the Rapture Illusion fly. The lake trout continued to come on metal Gold Star flashers and Spin n Glos and the Pro Troll white blade blue wiggle flasher and the Rapture Oceana fly.

There are still a few salmon in front of the piers; however you can probably catch as many in 100 foot and get a variety of species and age classes. The season is winding down, but I will post another report next week. For information or for a charter reservation, email me at captron@chartermichigan.com.
