  1. welcome to the site Larry. Very helpful fishermen around here.

    I can't help with Muskegon but just south of there between Holland and Grand Haven has really improved with a good temperature break @ 32' down. 70 deg. on the surface and 55 deg. at 32' The Kings are moving back into a fish- able pattern. Not so scattered like we saw in June. Long lines off boards have been hot. 300' copper has been my most consistent rod this year. Good luck.

  2. 4 -4 somehow:no: fished between 100' and 140' with 3 fish in 130ish and 1 in 115'. 300' copper took 3 fish with a SS blue dolphin mag. Small laker came on a slider with a DW purple carbon with the rigger down 60'

    The somehow we got all 4 had to do with only 2 of us and the 300' going back hard . my 13 year old was whooped from a battle with a 10 lb. er so I put him at the wheel and I would take this one. after I got the board to resurface and begin to gain a little the port rigger fires. It was luckily a small laker and came in easy for him. I netted it with one hand and he then has to free the net. No one is at the wheel at this point. the boat is slightly veering to stbd and the 22 lb. king has gotten all the way across and behind the boards on the stbd side. I can't even remember all the evasive moves we were laying down, but we are creating a huge mess! It avoided all the long lines but got into the braid dipsey. I knew I could not hand him the rod so he was ging to have to net. I am cranking him hard to keep him up. He gets the net under but the fish is not in yet. I give a good yank and the line snapped.... with the fish slamming home in the net.:thumb: We will remember this trip for a long long time.

    I'll add some pics tomorrow.

  3. 5:30 to 8:30. put down in 100' worked SW to 150' turned NW had a good rip on Dipsey but came off in 155' and then another swing and a miss on a full core. Ended 1 - 3 with a release on a rigger in 110' throw back king. He was landed and in the boat so this time of year I consider it not a Skunk!!!

    Still very slow out there. We cruised in and there is a ton of bait and good bottom marks in between 28' - 60'. Might be worth a try or maybe it's Sheep Hearders like Holland.
