Put the boat in at Cedar river around 5am (tiny 8ft dinghy). Rowed out under the bridge and across the bar to save power on the motor. We had a couple in and two lost by 7:30. Limited with 6 in the cooler by 9am. We were all using the same setup and it worked pretty good. Red hook 18" below a silver dodger. Talked to a couple people back on shore that weren't able to limit and gave up because of the heat. Beautiful day and beautiful fish. Saw pretty much everybody that wasn't in the gridlock next to MI netting all morning.
