St Joe 3-20

[EdB]

First troll of the year was good for us. Set up in 20 FOW and went on a south troll. We ran thin fins on boards staggered with 50 to 80 ft leads.  Stinger orange spoons on divers out 15 ft. Fast action we trolled less than a mile and had 11, turned around and got our 20 in another half mile. Got into 7-8 fow, shallow was good. Good luck!

Outstanding. We won’t see these fish for another 4 months and 4 more pounds up here in Frankfort.

Happy you found a calm day to get out.  Been watching the webcam north of Holland and it has been fairly rocky as of late.  Nice catch!

Have not got out, the past weekend was a steady blow.

Do you think the fishing will be good again by middle of the week?

Hard to say, there is a small craft advisory right now going all day.  Winds are SE tomorrow, generally not good in early season, then more high winds and rain Wed and Thursday.  Outlook for this week is not very good.  Some stable westerly winds that are not raging is best to warm up in shore waters.
