Muskegon -May 15 - Morning


Recommended Posts

This is my first post .... hope it is helpful.

Left the dock at 6:00 a.m. and was a little worried the fish would be scattered after the various high winds we had the past few days. Ran out a little south of the pier to 140 fow. Beautiful day on the water. Trolled south and around the middle net and back inside it. It was 8:30 and not a bump. Once I cleared it on the north side headed NW. The fish started hitting. We had some doubles and a triple and a bunch of singles but only on a NW troll. Turned SE to go back through and nothing all day on that troll. Ended up in double digits with a few nice 4 year olds a few in between and a couple dinks that were a little water logged. All were kings.

Best depth 120.

SOG 3.3 at the bait 2.5

Best baits and rig

5 color – Blue Bubble Stinger went 3 times then the reel burned out – cost us a nice fish

150 copper – Wonder Bread Stinger went 1 time sort of… dink on for a while – too long

10 color – Black Screw Ball – 1 time

15 color – Stingray Stinger – Green Monkey Puke – went 5 times

7 color – Stinger – Wonder Bread – 2 times – last one broke off and took the board with it to Davey Jone's Locker

Rigger 65 down Stingray Stinger – Green Glo Alewife – went 2 times

Rigger 50 down – Blue Mixed Veggies Stinger – went 1 time

Rigger 50 down – slider – Stinger Stingray size – Fruit Salad – 1 time

Rigger 60 down – Nitro (glow) Wonder Bread Stinger – 1 time

After we cleaned the fish, they were loaded with alewives. When we marked bait is when the fish hit but in a small area. The Stingray Stinger was the exact size of the alewives we took out of them.

Beware in 140 fow in the 11's, I am not sure if they are chub nets which are usually set much deeper or gill nets but they are clearly marked with two white buoys running parallel to shore a couple hundred yards apart.

Good Luck,

Capt. Drew
