Boating Report South Haven 6/13-6/14


Recommended Posts

As you all know the summer lull has hit alot of us southern lake michigan fisherman. With that in mind this weekend was dedicated to showing the wife and kids a great time on the lake. A friend was kind enough to lend his boat slip to the family and I for the weekend so we took advantage. We salmon fished a few hours Sat night with intention of hitting the 300ft range. Well, we made it to 245fow and turned around. We finally hit a steelie on a 3 color at 195ft and the wife was whipping the rod around trying to figure out what to do with the planer board and we watched that steelie flip a few times and say good bye. Then at the 140ft mark we landed a BEAUTIFUL lake trout. The kids loved that! After a great night sleeping on the boat we left the dock at 8 am and set lines in 140ft. I foul hooked a fish on the 7 color and couldnt get it to the boat before tearing it a new one. A little while later the 5 color blasted off and my wife tryed to get it under control and couldnt make it happen. Sooo after 2 hours we gave up and decided to drift for perch. We napped and drifted for perch for a few hours in 30-25fow and managed to get 8 nice ones. All in all we enjoyed ourselves out there and was a great weekend of boating............
