This past week produced some very good catches of 8 to 12 fish per boat. There were some very nice chinook salmon (15-17 pounds) in 80-100 feet of water and some very nice steelhead (10-13 pounds)were found in 60-80 feet of water. In addition there were a few lake trout and coho scattered throughout these depths.

Downriggers produced at 30 and 40 feet with orange crush and fruit cocktail Stingers and at 60 feet down with Hot Chip green flasher and Rapture "Last Supper" fly. Dipsy divers produced very well with silver green flashers and blue bubble flashers and flies, and with lemon ice lures. Copper (100 foot, 200 foot and 300 foot) produced more fish than any other method with the Reverse X-mas Singer and Sting Ray and the X-mas Stinger.

We have large schools of bait in 60-80 foot of water and this should hold our fish in the area. Feel free to contact me at any time for information or to make a charter reservation. You can contact me at Captron@chartermichigan.com or toll free at 1.888.253.8372.
