Grand Haven Report-July 1, 2007

[HitMan]

Fishing has again slowed from what it had been out of Grand Haven. The best fishing has been occurring very early in the mornings and very late in the evenings. The fish that are being caught are all large King Salmon and Steelhead. The majority of the fish being caught are from 60-125 feet of water on out to 200 feet of water as the day progresses. Downriggers 30-85 feet down, 5-15 colors of Lead Core, 100-300 feet of Copper and Divers 105-175 feet back have all been producing well. The Carmel Dolphin Stingray and regular-sized Stinger continues to be one of the hottest baits of the year! The Blue Killer Stingray, Green Bubble Stingray, Double Orange Crush Stingray, Orange Die Hard Stingray, Die Hard Stingray, Jawbreaker Stingray and regular-sized Stinger, Cory's Bait Stingray, Glo Dolphin Stingray, Blue Cory's Bait Stingray, Seasick Stingray, Natural Born Killer Stingray, Mixed Veggies Stingray and Freakin' Veggies Stingray have all been consistently producing spoons. More and more fish are being taken on flasher/fly combinations. An 11 inch Pro-Troll HotChip White/Glow flasher with an Oceana Rapture Fly or a Frosted Fern Rapture Fly have been consistent producing rigs along with an 8 inch Pro-Troll ProChip White/Glow flasher with a Hit Man No-See-Um Rapture Fly or an Oceana Rapture Fly. Also, an 8 inch Pro-Troll ProChip Green/Glow flasher with a Wild Fern Rapture Fly, Last Supper Rapture Fly, Green Dude Rapture Fly or Hypnotist LG Rapture Fly has been producing as well. The 8 inch Pro-Troll ProChip Blue/Glow flasher with the Blue No-See-Um Rapture Fly or Last Supper Rapture Fly has been working consistently every morning. Other flies that have been working are the Hypnotist Rapture Fly, Blue Hypnotist Rapture Fly, Blue Fern Rapture Fly, Green No-See-Um Rapture Fly and Little Bride Rapture Fly.

Everyone please have a great holiday week and get out fishing and good luck to all as well as those heading to Holland for this weekend's tournament!
