Holland 5/9 AM

[jdh]

Couldn't really get anything going in shallow. Water had warmed up to just over 50 degrees. Did pick up a lake trout in 35 fow on a 3-color with a green/orange spoon.

Any tips on getting browns on a day like today?

Beautiful day on the water!

I was out there today and got skunked, only 1 bite in 20 ft of water.I did go out 70 to 80 foot of water an marked a ton of fish but they all laughed at me lol!

Similar results for me today as well. Fished 10-15 fow from Holland pierheads to Saugatuck. Took 2 throwback coho on the turn in the plume. Both came on 3 color with Dreamweaver Alygator spoon. Fished 20-30 fow on way back to Holland with no takers.

Temp is not the issue, you can catch Brown's in water much warmer than people think. What was the water color and cloud cover and waves? Clear, none, and calm make for skittish fish and the boat traffic lately in close has been stupid. I never saw a boat the last two years on the beach...

And some days even with good conditions they just lock up.
