Rocked and rolled in the 4' (+) rollers. Mostly a South troll with the waves, ending up near Saugatuck.

8-29-13 pm, 5 for 10 ?? (biggest King 23#). Sunny, warm & flat water.

Set up in 60' looking for the bait from yesterday. Nothing so turned West and trolled out to 180'. Picked up a couple on the way out but only found a couple of small bait pods right on bottom and very few suspended fish so trolled back in hoping for a sunset bite. Most of the action right after sunset between 125 & 140 FOW.

What worked (including a few that got away)

95 FOW - 225' Copper - SS Mag Blue Dolpin glow back

120 FOW - Rigger down 70' - SS Green Chillie Willie

140 FOW - Rigger down 90' - 11" Paddle white crush / blue holo w/ homemade aqua mirage fly

127 FOW - Wire Diver back 75' - Spin Doctor dbl white crush with BW 'homosezwhat' fly

127 FOW - Rigger down 90' - 11" Paddle white crush / blue holo w/ homemade aqua mirage fly

125 FOW - Braid Diver back 150' - Pro Troll blue holo w/ homemade blue fly

Again a triple just after sunset, lines tangled, drags screaming, rods all over the boat - lots of fun.........

Awsome job Doug!!

Didn't know there were any nets near Saugatuck. Did not see any nets. Of course with the 4 - 5' rollers the small net markers in use would be hard to see.
