Had a half trip in South Haven on Friday. We ran out to the south west and set lines. The lake looked like glass and the sunrise was beautiful. We set the spread and trolled SW. We finished 8 for 11 including a dink we were dragging along when we pulled lines at the end. Horse Flies and Northport Nailers did the work for us. Seamist fly and Fireworks fly took 2 and 3 hits respectively. The balance of hits were on nailers in both standard and prototype colors. Most fish seemed to be in the top 40' of the water column. We finished up with two nice kings at 10 and 11 pounds, one laker, one steelie and the rest were coho. A good time was had by all. |

Jumped on board Experience Outdoors on Sunday in St Joe. We had two silver fish in the boat in 10 minutes and then nothing for a couple hours. High winds made trolling difficult at best. Fish were scattered and picking a line of troll was almost impossible. We called it quits after a short time. Stable weather mid week should make this upcoming weekend good fishing. |

Hit South Haven with Rich today for a short fish. Hit 4 for 4 in fairly short order. Two lakers, two steelhead. Both stellies were 5-6# and one laker was about 7# and the other was short so we tossed it back. First steelie took a fireworks horse fly behind a chrome/ glow/ orange dodger on a 3 color. second steelie took Glow Tiger Roughy Nailer on the high diver back 65'. First laker was the undersized one and it took a SeaMist Horse Fly behind a 10" blue spinnie with crush glow on it and the second laker took Mashed Mahi Nailer off the rigger. Conditions were cloudy with 10-20 winds right off shore. Trip was cut short to time constraints so we fished about 2 hours. |

Went back to South Haven today with high hopes the favorable wind and warm weather would trigger the kings to show up. No such luck there. With 4 licences on board I was able to run a full 12 rod spread with sliders on 4 of them to little avail. We managed 3 for 4 on the day and finsihed by outrunning a thunderstorm after hearing the Coast Guard marine warning. We started out catching a little brown on a Mashed Mahi nailer set 44 down on a rigger in 60 fow. After trying 50-90 fow without any additional success we went shallower and caught one laker in 57 fow and another in 45 fow both on a white spinnie and seaweed Horse Fly. In 40 fow we had a silver fish on a dodger fly that was a suspected coho, but it self released before we recovered the board. Another slow day, but the water temps are getting warmer. |

Went to South Haven today and had Captain Rob on board from SeaBee charters. We sat down in 50' or so looking for kings and found nothing but lakers again. Finshed 4 for 7 and only one bite could have been a coho. Right out the gate we took a laker on 10" blue spinnie with Sea Mist Horse fly and followed it a minutes later with a laker on Mashed Mahi spoon. Both fish were on riggers within 10' of the bottom in 60 fow. After the two quick lakers, we went looking for coho in shallow with to no avail. After a having one dragger on a short core that got off, we pointed back to deeper water and took another hit and landed two more lakers on an 8" white spinnie with a Seaweed Horse Fly. We also had a rip on Octoberfeast Nailer spoon as a slider on a rigger, again close to the bottom, but in 45 fow on the way back out. Sunny and flat on the water, it was another beautiful day. Other reports sounded like mostly lakers as well. |

As the dust is settling from the end of the season and reality sets in that there are 4 long months ahead until Salmonhead sees the water again, I wanted to thank all the customers and people that have made 2006 a great season! Salmonhead boated a record amount of fish this year, had more people on board, met more people and saw alot of smiling faces. I look foreward to seeing the same crews aboard in 2007 and lots of new people as well. |
