HI,
My name is Bryan Williams and I live in South Haven, MI. I am getting my boat out this week and I am planning to do some Spring Coho fishing out on Lake Michigan. Any reports Between St. Joe and Saugatuck would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan
Hi Bryan,
I'm from St. Joseph, MI. And I cannot really advise you on tactics of catching Salmon and Trout on Lake Michigan.
I got so sick of trolling here as a kid, that I ignore the big lakes and spend my fishing time in smaller lakes after Musky.
All that said, my neighbor just bought a new used boat and went out with borrowed gear last weekend. He and his two boys limited out with Coho quickly. People are catching them like crazy now.
Boats are going in and out of the piers all day now.
And he did tell me that he didn't have the gear he would have had. Just borrowed stuff. No down riggers.
You should be able to score easily, if you sort of know what you are doing, which I do not.
Good luck.
Please share some of your photos when you score. All of the fish that Chris brought back were the perfect size for the table.
Take care.
Hey Bryan,
You could call Tackle Haven in Benton Harbor or Broadlows Fishing Hole in St. Joseph for fishing reports or information to see what folks are doing and where.
But it's definitely hot here right now for your brand of fishing.
I think both of those places are good for information.
I would also think South Haven should be hot too.
Best of Luck.
Hey Bryan,
My friend said all were caught on flat lines with Thin Fins - whatever that is.
Last weekend he used green and orange. Yesterday they caught 9 coho only on green.
Good luck.
Musky John. Thanks for the reply and information. It looks like I should be able to get out middle of next week. I will post results. Thanks again.
Bryan
I heard they are doing really well at the Grand Haven pier which should translate into good long line fishing.
