St. Joseph

[Fishing Report]

Salmon fishing is good using spoons off downriggers set 50 to 70 feet down in 70 to 85 feet of water. Dolphin colors worked best. A few fish were taken on dipsey divers with green glow, spin doctors and orange flies. Good numbers of lake trout and steelhead have been caught while trolling in waters 70 to 80 feet deep and 50 to 60 feet down. Perch fishing is good just north of the north pier in 15 to 25 feet of water while fishing just off the bottom with minnows. Pier fishing is slow with some small perch and freshwater drum being taken.

for those that are fishing St. Joe this weekend, St. Joe is having their Venietian festival starting today and ending Sunday eve. The ramps will be packed unless you launch before 8am. Pay attention in the piers and in the waterway as there many boats with a few that are not great skippers as you folks.

I received some very great reports today out of St. Joe. It really does not matter if you run North/south or straight out. Just find that 75-90 foot of water and put the lures down. Some great fishing this time of year.
