Fairhaven Browns 4/4/26

[lumberjohn]

Fished 8:00 AM-1:00PM East out of the chute. Near shore temp 10'-20' was 40-43. Spread was 2 side planners w/ 1 color lead core behind the planner and a two core on the other pulling shallow diving, orange and green Rebel stick baits I had from the mid 80's, 2 flat lines pulling deep Diver stick baits and 2 downriggers back 35'-45' down 9'-13' pulling spoons. Action started slow first mile or two or three. Picked up and shot further East to 8 Mile Creek where it was non-stop action 10'-20' FOW on average mid water column. We ran circles around colored water. Final tally 16 Browns, kept 7 fish 3-5 lbs and released the rest. Best spoon was the orange dot Michigan Stinger with the copper cup, which I don't think they make anymore. Best Stickbait the Bandit Purplish silver & Green deep Diver straight out the back 60'. Pretty much anything with green and orange in it caught fish in the colored water.

They've been catching Spring Browns for me for 40 years.
