Well done.  Headed down Tuesday hoping they are still there.  Looks like they've set up in normal spring pattern

Tuesday looks like a great day to be out.  That's a great solo box.  Nice job.

Good job; we'll be out Tuesday, also.

Last week we got into some nice kings also, 18, 19 & 21lbs.

Lake trout are thick 130 feet and out

[dan agnello]

Yep, charter captain last Monday, stopped catching at 19 lakers in 152fow.

[Guaranteeit]

Fished Saturday morning. 

4/5 in 70-90 ft water. 1 19.5lb King, 2 12lb Kings and 1 Laker. Lost the 5th a King at the back of the boat.

Carmel dolphin, meat, and a orange/blue/green spoon took the hits. 30-40 feet down was the depth.

Speed 2.5-2.7 at the ball

Great job- thanks for the report. What was your surface temp out there?

It was 48 at the surface and 45 at the ball. With the wind out of the east Saturday afternoon I'm sure it probably pushed the warmer water around

[CAC]

Thanks. I will go out of South Haven tomorrow and hope to locate some fish. 

[dan agnello]

Heard of  2 South Haven reports  today:

One guy got 12 kings in 130-160fow.

Another got 2 kings, a steelie n 5 lakers in 180-190 fow.

No other details.

We are still doing St Joe tomorrow and SoHa next week.

Tomorrow we'll get to 75' and set lines with SW heading.

Thanks for the report guys
