tgafish Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 ended up going solo yesterday AM. I could not seem to find consistent pods of fish. Trolled from the pump station down to the A frames and halfway back again with 3 bites all in 26 fow. Tried the beach out to 40fow. Finally landed on a pod at 2pm in 19 fow and picked up my last 3 in 20 minutes. Firetiger thinfin and smelt F11 took all 6 hits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin1950 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Tom, thanks for the report. We're doing the shake-down tomorrow in the AM. A fish or two will be the icing on the cake. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick D Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Where is the best launch to use fishing there? Are the docks in? Thanks much Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes all the docks are in. Lots of guys launch across the river at the Benton Harbor DNR launch because they already have their sticker. I've had a truck broken into over there and know of several other people who have experienced the same so I try to stay on the St Joe side.

I'm sure a bigger spread would have put more fish in the boat quicker. 2 other boats at the launch when I pulled out. 2 guys who only had one bite and 3 guys who had 15 fish. 2 guys said they never touched deeper than 20 fow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
