We still have open charters, so give us a call to get in on the action!!

Last weekends big winds and storms spread the fish out a bit. There was good fishing from Pentwater to the point and north this week.

The fishing this week was pretty typical for this time of year. A good mix of Kings, steelhead, lake trout and a few coho’s are starting to show. The fish do seem to be in pockets though. If you hit a couple it has paid to circle the area and cover it from different angles. The water is warming up and the fish are coming 50′-to the bottom.

Hot tip– Dramamine works best if taken the evening before, then again in the am before the trip. Use the non-drowsy formula or you will get very sleepy on the water.

Hot baits– UV flashers and meatrigs in the am and cloudy days. Brighter color flashers when its been bright. (mountain dew and chromes have been good in the high sun) 11′ flashers with flies fished deep off riggers. Plugs are catching fish early and late.

Dodgers and spin and glos are taking lake trout daily.

If you fish meat, these are the ones to run. www.familiarbite.com
