We took a gamble and fished the muddy water this weekend after the big north blow on Thurs-Fri. We knew it would be tough fishing, but the weather was too nice to sit home so we went for it. Saturday we started at Cal Park with no hits so we ran to the ship canal and picked up a nice brown , but we couldn't get the coho to bite. After having enough of combat fishing with no coho to show for it we trolled the inland wall from the 3rd light to the 2nd light and had a double of cohos so we turned and made a couple more passes, but couldn't get anymore to bite. We decided to head to the gong in search of cleaner water which we found, but we couldn't get the fish to cooperate. We ended up with 2 coho and 1 brown. Sunday we trolled the inland wall with no hits so we decided to troll the beach in front of East Chicago and it payed off. We ended up going 5 for 6 all coho fishing 6 rods we were pretty happy considering the conditions. Overall a tough weekend of fishing, but we made the best of it and kept the skunk out of the boat again! Our best baits were Michigan Stinger Spoons and the usual coho body baits. Michigan Stinger UV VEGGIE and MIGAS TOUCH both sizes were our best spoons on the riggers down 10-15 ft and bright colored body baits 25-75 ft behind church walleye boards did most of the damage this weekend! It was another great weekend on the water for us!

Way to keep at it Joe!

Yah defiantly she was perfect 3 for 3 we needed her during the south end tourney so we didn't drop so many and could have at least weighed our 9 coho haha
