Fished from 60-120 fow this evening. Marked fish from 70-110.....A ton of fish showing up on sonar....Couldn't even get a nibble.....Threw darn near everything in the box at them, and not even a false release....But....hey....that's why it's called fishin and not catchin!

I didn't run it this evening....must have been why no fish were interested...they mistook me for an amateur.... No Salmon can avoid the spread if you have a 1 lb weight ripping 6ft up and down the water column....

Dont feel bad JD. Pretty much got skunked on perch in South haven today. Decided to take the day off and make the trip down there because I heard they were bitting and managed 2 perch and 4 gobies.....everyone else I talked to had the same results. Salmon guys were having a slow bite as well. Probally be a few weeks and they will be in closer.

This time last year, the kings were hammering anything you dragged thru the water...The cold nights were starting to help, but now it's up in teh 80s again....Couple more weeks to cool that water down, and we'll be in business!.....(Perch should be good this week tho, with the elevated water temps)

I was out in 30-55' and I heard that they were out as deep as 70'. I probally moved 20 times and even used the trolling motor to cover some area. I should invest in a good graph/sonar. The 20 yr old Eagle functions when I crank up the sensitivity, but it doesnt get the whole picture. Yeah, im half tempted to go back down if I can manage a day off.

Sounds like you're doing everything you can correctly....A good graph can mean the difference between limits, and a few fish....But sometimes the fish just aren't where they should be...I guess someone forgot to tell them they are supposed to be starving, and in 30 fow this time of year
