Fishing picked up this morning after a slow labor day morning. Perhaps because of less pressure on the fish.We fished this morning in the 20- 40 foot depths and pulled lines at 10:30 with 12 fish. The bad news was 4 of the fish were Sheepshead. Two of them large enough to qualify for master angler awards. Captains fishing the 80-165 foot depths had 8-12 fish by 11:30. The thermo cline is down to 65 feet or so.  There seem to be lots of fish out there. It will be fun when they turn back on.  Spoons worked in the shallow water. NBK's, Yellow tails and Wonder Breads all working off 3, 5 & 6 color lead. Slide Dipseys set back 125\2 with small a white Fish catchers and Aqua gold flies along with a large white fish catcher and a Blue\green fly set at 65' down off riggers in the deeper water all producing.Onekama still has lots of fish in the barrel north of the harbor and the shallows are still holding fish. Create great memories on Lake Michigan.  Call the Visitors center at (877)-626-4783 and have them find you a MAC Captain for a wonderful charter. One call and we do the rest.
