Sea Eagle Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Fished south haven this morning and caught the last two kings in the lake. 1/2 dozen lakers to boot. Went 10-14. Had to toss the last laker back along with a small coho. Fished north of pier. 60-90 ft of water. North-northwest troll was best. Pink alewife spoon on 200 cu took the big King, green uv spin doctor/meat rig on 150 cu took the other. One laker came on DR/SWR with uv blue dolphin, but most hit on a pearl uv dodger/matching spin & glow. DRs were up and down to keep within 5 - 10 ft of the bottom. Had a hard time keeping a small jäger bomb spoon on on a full core in the water. 4
Martin1950 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 That's a nice stack of "grease". I was planning to head W/NW but a few too many boats for me, since I was solo, so I ducked W/SW. and open water. If you did in fact catch the last two Kings in the lake, guess I'll have to develop a laker program. Did you clear the river about 0830hrs. The guy in the stringer picture looked familiar ? Martin
Sea Eagle Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 No Martin, we were on the water about 6:30. I hear you on the laker program. This is the first year I have ever intentionally targeted lake trout. I picked up a 1/2 dozen dodger/spin & glow setups at the swap meet in south haven this spring. They seem to work.
Leggitt57 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Sea Eagle - We actually talked to you back at the fish cleaning station. We were the guys in the little 17' Deep V Tracker. Thanks for sharing here and also for the conversation at the fish cleaning station. Was nice to see a big king in person again. It has been a minute since I have seen one! Tight Lines Guys!
Sea Eagle Posted May 9, 2016 Author Posted May 9, 2016 Thanks. Good luck. Hope to be out there next weekend.

Martin1950 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 "The pro am tournament is going on." That's why I haul my retired butt out during the weekday. Martin 2
Lured Inn Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I think I'll just hang out at the slip and walk to the festivities! Sent from my XT1080 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App 1
