Manistee 9/16-9/18

[No Limit]

Went out again with Quality Time for a weekend fish. We fished Friday night and Saturday moning 11 and 13 in 200 feet of water and found a seam where the water jumped from 42-46 dgrees and picked away at the fish. Our biggest fish in four trips was only 7 pounds so what the fish lacked in size they made up for on the grill.

Friday night through Saturday night we fished between 70 ad 90 feet down on the balls with dipseys back 175 and 200. Blue glow F/F combo worked well Friday night along with blue glow spoons (four fish). Saturday morning anything glow was taking hits at first light. Everything took hits in the morning but by 7:30 we were done (three fish). Saturday night 0-1, we worked 150-300 fow and couldn't get anything to go other than one dipsey and that fish was only there for about 10 seconds.

Sunday morning we worked 11.5-13.2 and picked up four more fish, two on a glow yellow tail slider (main line down 90), one of a blue glow moonshine and the fourth fish came on a rasberry dolphin on a dipsey back 200.

he boats were piled in the mouth of the river looking for the big fish coming into spawn so that's why we went out to avoid the cluster of boats. Every time we went out or came in Manistee lake was stacked full of fish. From the dock we could see fish being caught pretty steady.
