HAWG-TIDE Charter Fishing Traverse City Michigan

Frankfort Fishing Report 8/15/2010:

Thank you SOUTH LYON CATHOLIC CHURCH group! Teams Hawg-Tide, Netminder and Sandpiper took out a large fishing group this past weekend.  We fished in front of Arcadia Bluffs golf course. Great catches of kings were brought in by all.  We were fishing in about 100-130 fow.  Downriggers with all glow plugs seemed to be the ticket fished 70, 80 and 90 down. We were also using 2 colors of lead-core on our out-down riggers.  Meat rigs out 225 on wire divers also worked well.

Fished this past weekend out of Arcadia in the Onekama Shakedown Tournament.  Fishing was slooowww!!  Our best bites came 17-20 miles offshore.   We found some colder water (48-49 degrees) and boxed 3 steelhead, 2 lake trout and a few small kings. The inshore bite for kings was extremely tough (probably due to the 7 am start time ).  We ended up 8th place with the ladies on Friday and 7th place for the main tourney.

Finished 2nd place in the GTASFA weekly fishing league last night.  We set up for lake trout in about 30-50 fow and picked away on them all night.  Most trout came on 3-7 colors of leadcore. All spoons. The big surprise was a that we caught a nice 11 pound king on a 3 color leadcore right at dark.  It took 2nd to a 14 pound king! Several 4 year old salmon were caught.  Hats off to GTASFA net pen stocking program (in its 4th year, by the way!) TC trout this Saturday.
