Fished from 6-11am picked up 2 lake trout 135 fow white paddles blue spinners very slow action 1 15# - 1 20# other boats were slow as well charter captains communicating wih our charter. Lake turn over scattered fish, a few caught in close early, lots of weeds in mud line area.

Where you on the big water side or the channel side, what techniques did you use, day time or night time?

Thanks for the reply, I'll have to try it out.

Hay guys, I've tried fishing for Whitefish with small ice fishing spoons with some succes. Could you enlighten me on how to rig for whitefish with egg or waxworm?

Lake was dead calm, sun was hotttt!

thanks sparky30, I'll watch the water temps.

Good plan, head SW to100 fow, we were out the 26 & 27, best lure was green Flounder Pounder, we lost 3 to very large fish. First hour of light best, top half of water depth, down riggers and 225 & 180 copper worked best for us, work area in front of sand dunes, fish will be moving in closer, hope you catch a bunch!

Anyone heard if the fishing from the pier is any good yet, I'd like to take a break from the boat.

Fished from 6 am till 10 am, 4 out of 9 and 4 out of 7 mixed bag, best fish was a 17# King, best action was on 225" and 180" copper but had hits on downriggers 55' to 70' down best lure was Flounder Pounder, lost several big fish and 3 Flounder Pounders. Best depth was around 90-100 FOW SW troll and NW troll best, one day North of Holland and next day South. Will be back next week and check out shallower water, the fish are moving in closer. Also showed my fishing buddy how to tie a Palomar knot, maybe we wont have as many break offs. Had an AREA 51 Moonshine lure bent to a 30 degree angle with the hook pulled out of destroyed split ring, BIG FISH.
