Satisfaxion_Gauranteed Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Size over quantity seemed to be the theme again for us out of South Haven as we went 5-8 with a 7lb, two 14lbers, 16lb, and 18lb king. Set lines at 6:30ish and fished until 10ish. NW and NE trolls worked best for us. Typical setup was 9 lines trolling ~2.4mph at the ball. Good temp break was about 45down. We trolled between 95 and 115fow. We took hits on: Dipsey with a white spinny/blue bubble fly, 110' back, broke the spinny swivel Rigger set 80' down, fixed slider 20' above the ball went 1 for 1 300' of 45lb copper running a DW purple Easter egg lure went 2 for 3 and boxed the biggest fish. 300' of 45lb copper on the other side of the boat running a blue moonshine lure(don't remember the name) went 2 for 3. The two misses on the coppers were dancing fish, jumping and going crazy for a while before they came unbuttoned, so at least they were entertaining. Good luck this weekend. Should have some good weather conditions.
j1musser Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Thanks for the report. We fished similar waters. The 300' copper never took off. Thru a few different spoons on it. Sounds like you guys did a little better. We we cruising a little faster. Nice job guys.
