Saugatuck lakers 9/16 morning

[wisejohn]

Fished out of Saugatuck Sunday morning (9/16) . started at 80 FOW and trolled west to 130 FOW ... plenty of 45-50 degree water deep in the profile, and fish marking, but not much action.  Finally caught a 6 lb laker on downrigger 75 ft down at 120 FOW on a metallic flounder pounder with a big coyote flasher .... same rig went again 30 min later ... larger fish and got off.  My conclusion is that salmon not yet here?

My conclusion is Salmon are not coming. Very few in the lake anymore.

Seeing where kings are planted and what rivers hatch all the natural fish, you can pretty much forget nature kings south of Muskegon after mid August.
