South Haven 10-11-10

Fished yesterday out of South Haven. Man, all is still very warm.

Channel mouth: 63.5 degrees

Went out as far as 245 FOW to start, where surface temps were 65.5 degrees. Temp break was at about 110. Right at the break the temp was about 58-59. Trolling 220-245 did not produce anything, and the graph was pretty desert-like.

I pulled lines and shot in to 190 FOW. Trolling east the graph became alive with bait pods and fish arches at about 165 FOW. Surface temp there was still around 65.

Action was limited, but I went 2 for 3, picking up a lake trout deep (110 feet down--threw back) on a blue fly behind a green pro-troll flasher.

A nice 10 pound steelie came on a surface board with a very small lipped rapala painted with a perch pattern.

If nothing else, it was a spectacular day. Not too warm, not too cold, not too windy, not too calm.....

Good Job Scott. Glad to hear you picked up a couple of fish. That steelhead sounds like it was a nice fish.
