Any one fish out of Hughes Marina lately? Any intel would be greatly appreciated.....

Trolled both mornings between Aurora and Levanna. Lines in at 7 and out at 10. Found lots of bait in70-90 FOW. Spoon program W riggers down 60-75’ and boards pulling 5 colors of lead core. 1.7-2.3 on the Fish Hawk was the ticket. Steady pick both mornings. 11 fish in the net Thursday and 14 on Friday. Mostly lakers, a few Silvers, and one football Brown mixed in. All released with the exception of 2 legal salmon and 3 lakers. Beautiful, healthy fish, only one lamprey scar. Tight lines!

Reel Doc thanks for the report. We launched out of Deans Wednesday and fished a circuit to Thirsty Owl and back starting in 35’out to 70FOW. The bite was steady from 07:00 till 10:30. Ran a spoon program, Riggers down 25-30’ and Boards running 3 color LC all produced. Mostly lakers with 4 LL salmon in the mix. 2.0- 2.3 on the Fish Hawk was the ticket. Lots of marks and 2 huge bait balls on the screen. It was a welcome change from the LO skunk we ate the week previous. LOL! Cheers!

Thanks for the report!

The “New Normal”.

Hughes Marina in Pultneyville is open and usable.

Nice! Is Sandy launch still open? Thanks for the report.

Dont give up on boards when the fish are in shallow water. Try rods rigged with 3 or 4 colors leadcore line. The leadcore line will get your presentation down to the strike zone. Good luck!

Someone else moved it before my recovery.

Launched this AM then found launch barricaded returning this afternoon. Decent bite off Webster Park in 22-35 FOW. Spoons on riggers down 18 ft and 3 colors leadcore off boards did the trick. Green/silver/black colors along W Carmel Dolphin were hot. Pray for sunshine no more rain!!

Any issue with water level at the State launch at Sea Breeze? Any info is appreciated!

We launched there Tues afternoon with no problem. The first ten feet of dock is 5” underwater.

I looked at the launch today and couldn’t determine how long the concrete ramp is. Will my tandem axel trailer drop off the end before the boat floats? 23’ GW on a 26’ trailer. Just need to submerge the fenders, ( 28” of water). Any info is appreciated!

East troll out of I-Bay, lines wet at 07:30. Michigan Stinger pattern Off planer boards W a down rigger in the prop wash. The bite started around Webster Park and continued strong to Ninemile Point. 15-22 FOW produced the best action. Shanster Gold And Sodus Buckeye were hot with Chicken Wing and Fat Nancy taking hits. Boated a mixed bag of brownies and a 18 lb King. Great morning on L.O.

Hoping to do a shake down Saturday out of Hughes Marina. Anyone know if they are open? I called all day without success and their voice mail box is full. Thanks!
