Report	Pictures
July -21 -2010 - The fish are on the bank from the 00's to the 0800's. 80' to 110' to start out and then out to 140' to 200' as the day progresses. Moonshine and spindoctors early and then switch to meat after the morning bite. My best lately has been white spindoctor with a pickeled sunshine 100' down on the shute rigger, Mongolian Beef 80 down on the outdown. I have been running meat on the wire divers starting at 125 on one and 150 on the other. Green splatterplugs and Grey Ghost on the 300 copper and on the full cores have been taking fish. There are also some Coho and steelhead straight out from 70' to 125'. Fishing straght out is best around the nets which are marked pretty good. However--Always use caution when fishing around the nets.
July - 07 - 10 - The water on the bank went from very cold to very warm in the past couple of days because of all the south and southwest winds. The fish and the baitfish have become scattered and are very deep in the water column. We are marking a lot of fish and they are in the deeper waters, 125' down to 160' deep in from 140' to 200 ft of water. The fish are from the project to the point right now but with the south wind they will be congregating back on the point. Big paddles with flies, and Spindoctors with meat rigs are producing as are Moonshines on the 300 coppers. Wire divers out from 180' to 300' with spindocters and spartan flies are working in the deep waters. Good Fishin....Capt Ed
June -28 -2010 - The fishing has moved north to the point for the most part, from the 00's to the 0550's. Thats the good news, the bad news is that with all of the South and Southwest winds of the past week the water temps have warmed up dramatically. And with the warm waters the Sea Fleas have EXPLODED. Fishing has changed from high in the water column to fishing very deep in the column. Add to this that its a very early bite and the fishing becomes a challenge. For starters if youve got flea-flicker line now is the time to use it, if not now might be the time to invest in some. The temp was 60 degrees at 80' this AM. Riggers from 70 to 125' ft down with moonshine early and then big rotators later. Rotators and big paddles with meatless teasers or meat on the wire divers from 175' out to 230'. Cores, core and a half, 300 coppers and 400 coppers with mag spoons in Blue dolphin, raspberry carbon, yellowtails, Bad Toads all took fish. Good Fishin....Capt Ed
June -24 -2010 - Bigger salmon have been caught off Big Sable Point when trolling in waters 50 to 150 feet deep. Try green or blue flies.
June -21 -2010 - The fishing has moved north to the point for the most part, from the 00's to the 0550's. The fishing has switched from an morning bite to a VERY EARLY morning bite. 3 Cores, 5 cores and 7 cores tipped with Fireballs and Double Orange Crush are working well. Surface temps are warming up. But the best fishing is in the top 70', in from 80' to 150' of water. Lemon ice, Green gloes and Blue Dolphins on the riggers and White spin doctors with green sparkle flies on the wire divers out to 125' to 180'. The fish are very fiesty and give a good fight in this cold water. Good Fishin....Capt Ed
June -16 -2010 - From the project to the 0400s are the best waters lately. We are taking Chinook Salmon, Steelhead and Lake Trout. 3 Cores, 5 cores and 10 cores, 150' and 300' coppers are all taking fish. Surface temps are warming up with the recent nice weather. Dolphin spoons on the cores, lemon ice and green gloes on the riggers and spin doctors on the wire divers. We are taking fish all over in the water column on the riggers. The fish are very fiesty and give a good fight, although there are a lot of smaller fish in the area right now. Good Fishin....Capt Ed

11- 19 -09 - Pier anglers are still taking steelhead and some whitefish. Try floating spawn or wax worms under a bobber. Pere Marquette River - Had fair to good steelhead action. Low water levels here are also making it harder to catch fish. Fish the deeper holes until we get some rain.

Steelhead can be found off the piers and in the surf. Pere Marquette River - Steelhead numbers are improving but most fish were still being caught in the lower river.

Pere Marquette River - The salmon run is in full swing with good numbers of fish on the gravel. Look for steelhead in the lower stretches. Pier and shore fishing were slow. Look for steelhead fishing to pick up in the next couple of weeks.
Oct 1 09 - When boats can get out, they found steelhead and salmon in 60 to 120 feet of water. Pier and surf fishing were slow but should pick up soon. Pere Marquette River - Salmon should be moving upstream and heading towards the spawning grounds. Higher flows and cooler temperatures should produce better catch rates.
Sept 24 09 - Boaters are catching some salmon and steelhead in 100 to 200 feet of water. For steelhead, try 3, 5 or 8 colors of lead with orange spoons. Pier anglers and those surfcasting near the State Park reported slow catch rates. Pere Marquette River - The salmon action is slow and not many fish are on the gravel yet. That could change by the weekend but for now, fish the lower stretches.
Sept 17 09 -Salmon have been caught early in the morning in 40 to 80 feet of water when using glow plugs. Boats fishing 150 to 300 feet of water between the Point and the Bathhouse were also catching fish on 3, 5 or 8 colors of lead with orange spoons. Pere Marquette River - Fish are concentrated in the lower river. Anglers will want to fish the deeper holes until it rains and cools down.
Sept 3 09 - Fishing was slow early in the week, but began to pick up to good levels as the water settled, from the weekend winds. Full daylight fishing continues to be slow as clear weather and a full moon put lots of light into the water, however some charter fishers reported limit or near limit catches of very good sized fish yesterday. Fishing is now in the top 20' to 50' near shore, but much deeper in deep water where the temperature is more stable. Plugs and spoons are now the baits of preference in the shallow water. Rotators, paddles, and flies are more prevalent in the deeper waters. 'Meat rigs have also been producing, especially on deeper rigs. Tip. Many Captains are reporting better success trolling w/ spoons or rotators 40' to 60' behind the balls, probably due to the clear water. Glow baits and plugs are common in low light conditions and blue or green flies are most common. With the return of cold water, surface temperature data from Coastwatch has become very useful.	Report Curtsey of
Aug 27 09 - Boaters are catching salmon in 125 to 225 feet of water. Most fish were caught deeper in the water column with spinnies and flies. Good colors were green and blue. Pier fishing was slow.
Aug 19 09 - Boaters are catching salmon but the fish are deep. Look for the thermocline. Try spoons, meat rigs or J-Plugs. Pier fishing was slow due to all the warm water. First and last light are the best times for pier anglers to catch chinook. Night anglers casting glow spoons have caught a few fish.
Aug 13 09 - Boats anglers were taking salmon in 80 to 160 feet of water using meat rigs or spinnies and flies. Pier action continues to be slow.
Aug 6 09 - Fishing has been difficult this week, since a major south wind and stormy weather kept nearly all fishers off the lake for three days last weekend. Fishing resumed with the good weather on Tuesday. However the south winds had brought in very warm water as far down as 120’ or so. Along with the good weather, and clear skies, the moon is nearly full. All of these factors seem to have slowed the fishing on Tuesday and Wednesday. The fishing was somewhat better today.The best fishing still is occurring at or just before sunrise or at sunset. Full daylight fishing continues to be difficult. For most fishers the best fishing appears to be 150' to 200' or more. Most fishers are fishing from the bath house north, but some are finding fish in deep water in front of the project. Early in the day Moonshine and other glow baits are effective. Also glow plugs, glow rotators, and flies. Later, many report success with green or blue flies. The newer paddles have also been effective pulling flies. Lead core and copper lines of several lengths get the baits away from the boat with side planers tend to be very good producers. Wire divers and riggers are also effective for deeper fishing.	Report Curtsey of
