(late) South Haven 6/21/08

[Satisfaxion_Gauranteed]

We fished South Haven Saturday(6/21) in the am. Typical setup was 9 lines; 3 riggers/2 3-color cores/2 half cores/ 2 copper rigs.

We never got anything good going as the fish were hitting very lightly and finished 2-8 on lakers with a throw back.

We shut down in 90fow and played around in 80-100fow for a while with two releases and no fish to show. We then headed west to about 180fow before we got some more consistent hits, but still not much.

We ran mostly spoons with DW blue and green dolphins being most successful. We also took one release on a white pro-chip flasher with a green siggs fly.

When I read the slow reports from Saugatuck last week, The June slow down was not far from getting to South Haven and now it is here. Hopefully things pick up next week like they did in Saugatuck this week!

For the Perch fishing, two people at the cleaning station both said 20-30fow about 1 mile south of the piers was very good. One guy even said, "the perch so far this year are, on average, the largest I've seen in years." I guess we should have gone perchin!

tight lines and screamin' drags,

I know your hooks were sharp Jason. It must have been one of those days we all have. Well at least you chased the skunk out with those two lakers. That Salmon Slammin will be moving N. and late July and August will be fantastic.

Ya, I'm pretty big on keeping sharp hooks on my lures, but for some reason I was just not getting solid hook-ups. It was still good to be on the lake. I may try to nab some perch in the next week or two before getting back to salmon slammin'
