7-4-13 Fishing Report

Heavy fog today on Lake Michigan. We headed north hoping to find some warm water north of Big Sable Point. We ran all the way to the 05’s and the surface temp kept getting colder the further north we went. It was 45.9 on our Fish Hawk 840 at 05:30 so we turned back south and set up south of the Point in 120 feet of water (fow). The surface temp was 49.9. We didn’t have half our rods set when a low wire diver out 70 ft. with a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Froggie Big Water Meat Rig fired. While that fish was still on the other low wire diver with a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Rig took off. That one got off. Then the high Slide Diver back 110 ft. with a regular size Dreamweaver Lemon Lime spoon started screaming out line. That one got off too. The first one finally came to the boat. It was an 18 lb. King. We got the rest of rods set with no more action. A half hour went by before hit another fish. It was a small King on a 3 color with a SOG Super Slim spoon. That rig went two more times but we didn’t land either one. We ended up with 9 fish on, but only boated 4 of them. They just didn’t want to stay hooked. We  got as far south as the 01’s and as far north as 03:50. We worked between 110 and 150 fow.
