    Thanks. I am on 3 Lake Mich fishing forums and no one makes reports. In a typical weekend there are hundreds of fisherman out and you may get one or two reports in just a few ports. I don’t understand.

    Yeah, u r correct, thought 4th one was a Steelie. He danced on the water a few times which my grandson loved.

    You now that you mentioned it I looked at my photos again to see whiter top n bottom gums. Si I agree a Ho. They are sooo close. Remember a few years ago when guy had a state record record size Coho and it took MDNR like a mobth with scale samples, etc to finally determine it was a Ho. Same here, so what do I know FBD. Next trip scheduled for next Wednesday; If fish are still here will be SoHa, otherwise Holland.

    No. We set lines around 7:30 or so in about 90’. There were two boats out there but we just kept trolling out because at buoy there was no thermo and we had no marks. Tuesday morning we had heard a lot of bait n fish were in 80-100’. . When we were out in 140 talked to a guy on the radio who said they had done well in 120-130 earlier and there were 3 or 4 boats circling that area, we we didn’t see any nets gets wet.By then he had said it slowed down. For SoHa had quite a few marks in 133-155 area. Were very consistent around 75’ down and 110’ down. And, we had a lot of lookers at the meat, aka the graph mark heading up as screen moves. In 120’ it was 68 in top and 58 at 90! down, still not much of a thermo.

    Yep you have a perfect location. I’m 25 from SJoe and Holland and 75 to Muskegon but from where I fish late August, Manistee and Frankfort, 3 1/2 and 4 hrs away.
  16. dan agnello
    Thanks. Next week probably Holland, friend did well in 170’ there yesterday afternoon. Have to start following the fishies north. When I lived in Jackson and we got the sloooow fishin here July was walleye month out of Monroe and east fishin for eyes. Same fishin as for coho jacks in skinny water in late March n April here n SJoe. Not sure where charters fish here. Probably 60-80’ for lakers or way out in middle of the lake. Haven’t heard of many kings caught here at all. Think we’ve gotten 2. No fish in shallow water in May like usual; think because we had no spring rain. All, have a great Independence Day weekend and be safe. And, if you are out on the water with all the weekend boaters/fisherman be especially watchful.

    In SoHa this spring very few kings; none in 55’ in May. But, 115-170’ we are knocking off some nice size Coho n Steelies.

    Thanks for the report; even our skunk trips are helpful info. Doing SoHa next Tuesday; plan right now, unless I see some reports to the contrary, is to start around 27s in 120-140 n head NW. Thanks again.
  22. dan agnello
    Good job; fishing solo for kings is a blast; been there done that.
  23. dan agnello
    Nice king. Yeah Aaron a crazy spring.
  24. dan agnello
    I’m retired and so are most of my mates and we never go out on weekends especially holidays. Although city launch in SoHa you can use on weekends here before Memorial Day with no crowds. Weekends afterward are a little busy retrieving but the wait isn’t usually too bad. If I have a worker bee mate that can’t take off during the week we’ll do a Sat or Sun. Yeah this spring is weird. Someone posted earlier that fish are out deep because we had dry spring and so no warm water near shore. Last spring in May we were getting kings in 55fow. Nuts!
  25. dan agnello
    Thanks for the report. Sounds just like our last SoHa trip on Tuesday. From the report we got from my friends boat at the launch we should have gone a few more miles north and all his hits came going west, uphill. Although we did get our king on 100 Cu and I had seen reports of fish caught on Jplugs so around 2 I put a tequila sunrise, deep orange/yellow J plug on the 8C and very soon in 107’ we got that small steelie. I never put plugs down after April until late August when we are fishing just outside harbor patrol. Have seen reports that many always put one in their spread. Meat on the riggers got jiggled a few times and 4 or 5 knock off on riggers, probably Coho hits on sliders. Since I live and am retired here plan on doing SoHa again next Tuesday. There are hundreds of guys out, especially on the weekends and you and I and a few others are the only ones reporting.
