    Nice job. That young fella has handled several big salmon this year! Pug for the win!

    I keep hearing about the sliders. Are they south of Holland?

    If the 350 or 400 copper goes, does anybody jump up? LOL

    Too bad on the big kings. It's always a toss up with the big ones. Planning on going out of PS tomorrow morning. Thanks for the report.

    We lost 3 plugs in one day late last year. I made up a couple of 2' leaders of 30# mono to run in front of my plugs. Doesn't seem to deter the fish from biting. Those salmon teeth are starting to show! Maybe it's coho or maybe it's the teeth.

    Nice! You'll be able to feed those boys for a few days. You're a fish catching machine! Pug for the win!

    Pug is usually right. Could be a little bumpy though. Good luck!

    I wanted to keep going south towards Holland, but the lightning to the south made us turn north. Then a cell popped up to our west and exploded quickly. We used to do the high seas as well. I like flat and calm too. Early morning is a unique experience with the total darkness, but evenings get late way too quickly.

    Well done Jolly Time!

    You're probably a little smarter than I am.

    Abbreviated trip this morning. We were hoping the weather man was wrong, but it turns out he was right for once. Lines down about 5:45 in 70' of water heading SW. Had 3 hits on a rigger with a green glow tomic plug. Landed one, about a 7# coho. One hit on the 7 color leadcore with a blue splatterback plug. 7# king. By 8 o'clock the radar showed a storm popping up just to our west so had to pack up early. Ended up 2 for 5 with 4 hits on riggers about 54' down. One of the hits was on a free slider. Fished from 80 to 100 for a while then moved out to 120 to no avail so we were coming back in when we had to boogie. By the time we hit Pigeon Lake the rain started pretty good. Torrential downpours on the way home. Fun fun fun!

    Good job in those tall seas. You have the boat to handle those 4-5 footers. I don't go out if it's over a foot anymore. LOL

    Mine are actually Proos electric riggers. I bought my boat in 2003 so they are probably 2004 riggers. Haven't had any problems with them except for a switch that fell apart early on but they replaced it free of charge. I don't have down temp, but do have a Fishhawk for that.

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/Cvc18DuTo92xqwR46Started in 60' on a SW heading. When we hit 80' it was a fire drill. Small salmon hitting the riggers and sliders. Got 3 out of 6. Stuck around 80-90 for a while with just some misses. Slid out to 130 with nothing to show for it. Circled back in and picked up a 21 pounder on a dipsey with flasher fly. Green glow SD with a hypnotist fly out 150'. And that was it. Ended up 4 for 10 or 12 on the morning.

    That's why I don't fish much in the evening. I need my sleep! LOL

    Left the dock at about 5:30. Went to 40' and put down a 6 rod spread. Lost a small king at the back of the boat while setting lines. Hit a free slider on a rigger set down 34'. Landed about a 12# king off a rigger 34' down with a Silver Horde green glow with a ladder back. Had three hits on this plug landing two. The other was a small king. Had two hits on a 10 color with a 5 eyes moonshine spoon. One was a screamer that ended up burying the board and got off. Caught another 12-13# king on a wire dipsey 100' back with a spin dr with hypnotist fly. Finally had a hit on the 7 color and landed about a 7# brown trout. Surprised by that one. Fished 40-60' of water all morning. Finished with 5-8 at about 10:15am. Beautiful morning on the lake.

    You're a fish catching machine, 2MD!!

    I remember those trips. It seems like the lake had flipped and the cold water was in close as well. You had over 30 fish in those trips if I recall correctly.😯

    Started fishing about 5:45 in 50' of water. Slowed down to check for bait and fish and it was there so that's where we started. Fished 50 to 70' for a couple of hours and had 5 fish. Slid out to 140' and picked up a couple more. Ended up 7-10. Lost a screamer when the snubber broke on flasher fly. Big fish ( 16.5# ) on blue/green flasher with sweet pea fly, two hits on green dolphin spoon on a slider with the main line down 50'. One hit on Tomic plug on a 300 copper. Mostly spoon bite for us. Have to come up with a better snubber system!

    Thanks for the detailed report!

    Great night! Looks like 142' of water. So possibly 130 to 150'? What is a pickle rig if you don't mind my asking? Thanks

    First time out jigging in Muskegon Lake for me this morning. Jigged for an hour with no hits, and no fish being caught that we could see around us. Quite a few boats jigging and trolling in front of the sand docks. We decided to try trolling, so we trolled a couple of laps in front of the sand docks with nothing going. Saw several boats out in front of the Clipper so we trolled over there. Proceeded to go 1 for 7 around the Clipper. Lost two silver horde plugs as well. Ouch. That's 3 silver horde plugs lost this season. Not sure what's going on but we get fish on and then they break off. Not sure if it's getting cut by a gill plate or bad line or what. Just got new 20# line this year. We don't catch that many fish! Anyway, this might be the last time out for the season. It was fun while it lasted.
