Saugatuck 18/Apr

After having some major maintenance on the boat finished this week we decided to go fishing. Set lines about 8:15 AM in about 15 FOW and trolled north. Turned into a nice boat ride; turned around at about halfway creek and slipped out to 20 FOW on the south troll and picked up a nice laker which we turned back; came on a purple hot and tot. Continued the troll down to the ball south of the harbor and decided to go out in the lake looking for steelies. Trolled on a mostly sw troll after setting up in 90 FOW for several hours with nothing to show except a couple of guys with a little sun burn. All in all it was a beautiful day to be on the lake!

It was a beautiful day on the lake. I considered going deep and looking for steelies myself. How many FOW(foot of water) did you get to?

Jim, At least you had a great day, and got the shakedown cruise out of the way. Not getting skunked is another plus.

We ended up in 225 FOW when we pulled lines. We showed a few marks on the graph but not much to speak of. A few decent marks down around 100 FOW while trolling out. Surface temp was 37.
