Hooked the boat up and headed north to find some cold water. After checking the buoys, I bypassed St Joe and drove 20 more miles to give South Haven a shot. Surface temps were @65 degrees and cold water down 30 ft.
I ran 3 riggers - two with sliders. Ended up 4/5, all decent kings with the best one at 13lbs. I lost a King at the net when it hit a downrigger cable and it was @ 10 lbs. Released one small shaker.
 I know it isn't the South end technically but it was a quick trip. Had plenty of flies but very few water fleas. Nice boat launch with plenty parking -$10, only about 5 minutes from the exit and a sweet fish cleaning station.
 The double turnover on the lake has really screwed up the water temps on our end of the pond.
