South West Lower Peninsula Area Fishing Report

May 3rd, 2021

5-2-21 SW Michigan
Port of St. Joe
We found a mix of coho, lake trout and steelhead scattered in 150-230ft.  Traxtech riggers with Spin Doctors and flies or stacked spoons 30-60 down were productive.  Blood Run wire divers back 100-120 on highs and 60-80 on lows with Spin Doctors and flies were the best rods on the boat.  We caught coho and steelhead on 3,5 colors and 75-150 coppers with a mix of Super Slim and Stinger spoons.  We ended up 22 for 27.  Hopefully the kings start to show up soon but this mixed bag fishing is pretty fun.
