Saugatuck, 12Jun

Set lines at 7:45 AM a little south of the piers in 120 FOW and trolled SW. It was a very slow day of fishing but we did manage to pick up 5 Lake Trout (1 throw back). One of the Lakers was ~11 pounds. We did not mark many fish all day. Most of the day we trolled between the 120 to 180 depth several different directions. Several fish came on the Chute down deep 120 with an e-chip blade and mirage fly; several others on 1/2 core and double orange crush magnums. We were bit completely off on one strike and the fish swam away with the spoon (goldy locks) on a 1/2 core. Surface temp was in the 55 56 range 50 feet down the temp varied between 50 and 44; mostly I kept the GPS speed at 2.8 to 3.0. If the lake is decent on Sunday I think we are going to run deep------I'll let you all know how that works out. No real pattern the fish were few and far between; pulled lines around 2:00 PM and finished a very enjoyable day on the water.
