Set up in 80 ft, with 116-165 being our best depth. Ended 4-6, all kings: 21lbs, 19lbs, 17lbs, 15lbs. All of our fished seemed to come high in the water column. Here's what worked: Ace Hi 5 Silverhorde j plugs, orange glow and white glow took 2 before 7:30. The other 2 came on spoons, blue ladder back Moonshine and double orange crush on the free slider. j plugs were both on lead- full core and 4 color. Spoons were on riggers. Great morning to be out. We really have been spoiled by this weather lately.

Dang I may need to dig the blueberry muffin back out retirement!

Nice work! What did that fish weigh?

What a hog! Great job.

The current sure is terrible right now. We tangled a full core, mono rigger line and braid dipsy on Saturday, so I feel your pain.

Thanks for all of the replies and tips guys. Sounds like I am doing everything correcty then. I do enjoy the fight!

What a pig!

I finally got a smart phone so I just posted pictures.

One question with the big fish though is, is there a way to get these fish to the boat faster? Is there a different reel that would help with this? We run mostly Penn 209's, which are very dependable, but not very high speed. Does a higher speed reel make a difference?

I would agree, our 2 19lbers yesterday came on flasher/fly combos.

Sorry, this was all this morning.

Finished 6-7. Dipsey 115 back with orange carbon moonshine took 2. 2 19lb kings on white paddle with white mirage teaser on rigger, 1 when it was down 75 down in 95 fow and 1 in 200 fow when in was down 115. Those fish did not come in easy. 1 14lb laker on Carmel dolphin when pulling lines. I forget what the other king came on. Great day to be on the water. Get out there guys they are biting!

Wow! What a hog!

That must have been tough to reel in...

Thanks Don.

Great work! I was thinking of fishing out of Muskegon this weekend, but now I am not sure.

Don, nice work! I am headed to Muskegon on Friday. Where are the nets?

Great work and excellent report!

Awesome fish!

That's awesome!

Very well said all. Welcome aboard Jeff.

Thanks for the info Jim.

Great work Jimmy! Looks like the white paddle/green fly combo and glow fire dog spoon will have to make their way back out. Any size to those kings? Where are you getting your meat for your rigs?

Sounds like a costly, but fun trip.

Nice work. Hope to see you out there sometime.
