I went out with Jim and Jim last night on Jim's boat.  We fished from 6:30 to 10 pm and all of our action came after 8 pm, with most between 9 and 10pm.  We ended 5 of 6 with 4 big kings and a 10 lb lake trout.  The biggest king was 21.5 lbs, and was the biggest fish I've caught in a couple of years. Meat Rigs and a White Green and Black Magnum Spoon got all the action and the best fishing was 80 - 100.

There seem to be a lot of big Kings being caught the past week.  I hope you signed up for the Big Red Tournament as these big fish should make the standings pretty interesting.  Good Luck!

Chuck, Mark, Shane, and I fished Friday evening (June 17th) from 6 to 9:30 and ended the night 2 of 3 with an 8 lb Laker and an 8 lb steelhead.  All of our action came from 6 to 7 pm and then nothing after that.  We fished 85 to 115 FOW and took are fish in 88 and 100.  The Laker came on a 12 color  on Lemon Berry Magnum and the Steelhead on a 3 color lead on an orange and yellow spoon.  On the radio, 1 or 2 fish seemed to be the average catch.

I fished the mud off the pier-heads in Saugatuck from 4:30 to 8:30pm yesterday with TJ and Jeff.   The fish have been in close as the water is cold and the bait are also in.  We ended 2 for 5.  It seemed like the boats around us were catching more fish as we saw a few nets out there that were more active than ours.   We ended up with a 14 lb Laker and a 3 lb Brown.  With the busy Holiday weekend, I probably wouldn't recommend fishing the pier-heads off Saugatuck, at least not too close or you will be missing some of your gear...  Have a Great Holiday Weekend and 4th of July!  For any of you staying at Eldean Shipyard, I will be cooking a complimentary lunch from 12-3 on Monday with Brats, Chili-dogs, and Grilled Fish.  Thank you to Black Pearl Charters for large donation of Salmon that I will be grilling!
