eyecracker Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Got out Fri night about 7:00 pm, planned on starting a NW troll at 60, got to 60 and was met by a nice wall of nets on the north side running to 100. So, we just trolled straight W. Spent about an hour untangling my first attempts of stacking DRs. So, after that I just went 2 DR and 2 DD. Took first hit on a MD SD with green mirage fly, beautiful 8 lb COHO, 165 back on DD in 115 FOW at est. 8:00. At about 8:30 to a 12lb King, down 70 on DR, Flounder Pounder, this was after we decided to head back to the channel so we were on a E troll. About 10 minutes later we got another 8lb COHO on the same set-up as the other COHO. It was my brother-in-law's first big lake trip, needless-to-say, he loved cranking in the cohos. Lake was pretty choppy when we got out but laid down nice as the night went on. 3 for 3 and a great way to start the Labor Day weekend. Sunday dinner was AWESOME!!

Fire Escape Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Fished the same water with my wife friday nite. We did about the same 4-8, 3 nice Coho's and a King. Got sick of the flies and packed it in early.It was nice fishing when they cooperated for a change. Good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmael Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Great job on the fish- we found the coho as well friday in 120fow. We were lucky to find several nice kings as well. My wife landed the big fish of the year on wire dipsy- 11" pearl paddle and rapture oceana took a nice 23.5lb hen. That has been our best set-up all year on wire dipsy.

Jose Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Nice job guys. Seems an abundance of coho out of Muskegon this year.I've been thinking the same thing this year. Did they increase the plants this year? or could it be the reduced stocking of kings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Escape Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Most of our fish came on an 11" white paddle w/ an Oceana fly parked at 80' on a rigger. A magnum Blue Dolphin w/ a glow back took 3 hits at 70' on a rigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
