St. Joe shake down 2013

[PoleHolder]

Put in at noon, fished 1-5, ended up 4 for 4 with 2 browns and 2 coho. Water is cold, but found 38 degress on the north side of the piers. Browns both came on mixed veggie spoons down 5 and 8 in 10 and 14 fow. The larger Brown put on his best steelhead impression and was out of the water more than in it. Cohos came on orange with black squiggles body baits (husky jerk and thunderstick) off the big boards. Slow fishing, but the boat ran great and it was very pleasant out there today. Fished most of the day without a coat on...water was so flat it felt like fishing on a pond. I did note a lot of good marks in 40 to 45 fow when setting lines south of the pier down 20 to 30 but no takers.

Thanks for the report. Hit the kalamazoo for steelhead and the maumee for walleye this weekend without success. Looks like its time to drag the big boat home and hit the big lake
