    Fished Muskegon this morning. Went between 50 and 140 fow. Ended up 9/10 with 8 kings and a steelhead. Mag and standard size spoons down 30 to 60. Ended up close to Duck Lake and then trolled south for a few hours. No hits after 9:30 am - except the steelhead.

    Set up by the power plant around 11 am. Found 50 degree water and marked fish but after 2 hours of no bites we decided the next to nothing for visibility wasn't going to work. Moved out to 100 for and the visibility was still less than 3 feet. Tried out there for a few hours and got 2 coho on the brads thin fish red squiggles. Also had a lake trout snap on a modified blue dolphin mag near bottom, but didn't stay on long. Boat worked great and managed to burn a decent amount of last years gas off.

    Try it with the large ring. What offset setting/number are you using? The more it's set to pull to the side, the more likely it'll flip over.

    Need quality ball bearing swivels to prevent twist. Also, do you know what brand of line and lb test you're using? When I started I was doing the rubber band method on blacks releases, then I got rid of the rubber bands and just use the blacks. No problems in 11 years of big lake fishing for me.

    Great job. Fished south of you, 2 of us ended up 9 for 11 all steel. We're trying to pack lines up after our limit and ended up picking three more up. 3 color and regular divers back 35 worked well for us with spoons.

    Got a good one recently while jigging in the boat for whitefish.

    Welcome. Most people active on the site fish Holland and Port Sheldon. Some good reports on here in the summer.

    Good to hear the fish are still around. Thanks for the report!

    Was thinking about heading out this afternoon, but my gear is a mess after an Northern Ontario walleye trip. I understand a good number of fish are out in 180-220.

    Ran back to Pt Betsie and set up in 80. Hit 2 kings right at 9:30. Lost the bigger one right behind the boat. Ended the day 5/8. Long day on the water, but amazing scenery and great weather.

    Decided they weren't coho. We did pick up one coho on a plug up high and 2 more lake trout.

    What lures am I supposed to be using?
  13. jdh
    Pods of dozens of bigger fish north end of West Platt Bay. 6 fow. Cannot get them to bite.

    Been out fishing since 2 pm. Started north of Pt Bestie and worked around into West Platte. Now working around to the east side of West Platte to go around to East Platte. Not marking too much but most markets have been in 50-70 fow. 1/2 right now. Got a small laker on a flasher fly.

    Nothing. Just tough conditions with the flip. Bait is on the beach or out past 200, maybe 300 feet of water.
