4-12-25 Holland South to Southhaven. Well this warm weekend has the coho moving quickly up the Lake Michigan shoreline. My friend Paul gave me some great information and I filmed the show today, we caught 20 nice coho in 2 1/2 hours on a mix of different crankbaits. Wallye nation creation Junior Square Bill Reapers in orange and gold colors were good, as were thin fin style baits in a variety of colors. Most of our fish we caught 65 to 95 back behind our offshore boards. Speed was 2.5 to 3 mph. We did a down troll in 35 and an up troll in 22 feet of water. We caught fish in both locations as long as the water was stained. The fish were definitely moving north quickly. If you want to experience some great coho salmon action, Holland to Saugatuck should be the hot ports for the next two weeks. Thanks to my friend Paul for some great information.
