Muskegon 8/7 pm

[Goose]

Started in 120 South of Muskegon at 5:30 pm last night and had three hits right away. We ended up getting 5 fish and had 9 hits, 4 kings and 1 steelhead. Last time I was out was two weeks ago and we never even had a hit so having 9 hits was a welcome change. Lost the big one that broke off and is swimming around with a $40 meat rig in his mouth. 50'-75' down was the best for us. We fished 110-140 FOW pretty much the whole night. Northwest troll took almost all the hits except for the big one we lost, that was on a South troll. SOG was 2.65 - 2.99 mph. All our hits came on paddle fly and meat rigs, we couldn't get a spoon to go. Dipsy's set on 2 1/2 and back 180 - 210 was really good, 300 copper took a couple of rips, full core took our biggest king of the night which was about 15lb. We did manage to catch one fish on a rigger 70' down on a paddle fly but other than that the riggers were quite. I snapped my anchor light when I went to install it so we quickly pulled lines and headed for the piers right at dusk. Wished we could have stayed for another 30 minutes. Good luck, hopefully it is a nice weekend.
