Saugatuck is Gleasons downtown. Holland is the state launch in Ottawa beach road which also has a fish cleaning station across the street. Saugatuck is less crowded and fishing is unbelievable there right now...but no fish cleaning. Holland is doing pretty good also, better facilities. Both are about 20 min ride to the pierheads no wake. Best depths now 140-200. More coho outside more kings inside and also
Found deeper outside. Plastic deep for kings spoons high for coho. All kinds of coppers going with mag spoons for both. Fast troll 3-3.2 sog. Good luck, channel 68

Is Saugatuck a marina? Sorry for the dumb question. I'm just planning a trip and trying to figure out the best place to launch and such. Never been out that way

Thank you for the details I really appreciate it. Completely green in fishing those waters so I feel like I'm gonna be shooting from the hip but this should get me close. I'll give a full detail tomorrow to see if I get skunked or not lol. Also, got the go-pros mounted so if all goes well I'll edit some footage
