Captain Ron Westrate of CoHooker Charters reports from Saugatuck:
This week brought the closing of the Lake Trout season, forcing us to
concentrate on salmon and steelhead. The first part of the week produced
12 to 20 lake trout per trip with an occasional salmon or steelhead in
80 to 90 foot of water. There were some reports of some 2 and 3 year old
salmon being caught in 220 to 240 foot of water but the run of 4 year
old salmon still had not started. Saturday we again got blown off the
lake with gale force winds that continued into today. There were a
couple of boats that fished the Kalamazoo River on Saturday and reported
catching a few big 4 year old salmon, pulling Hot n Tots and Tadpollys.
If the there are salmon in the river, there must be some in front the
piers, however with the rough conditions, no one fished for them in the
lake. Could it be that the run has finally begun?
