GLF

I added the pictures to your post for you.

I seem to recall we had that same incident with the offshore board early this year in the first WMFL event. Nice job on the catching!

Nice job on the catching. I can not wait to get back out again.

Welcome to the site, and thanks for the report Mike! I will be sharpening all of my hooks the next time I head to my boat.

Nice job on the salmon slammin! Looks like a couple of nice fish in the pictures.

45" Muskie.....thats a nice muskie! What's the biggest you have caught?

Thanks for the follow up Mike!

The flies can be a real pain in the a$$! Great job of catching!

Nice catch Rich!

Done!

The fishing has been RED HOT out of Muskegon! Most boats are on channel 68. Speaking of boats......Look out for ALL the boats! I think you will see more boats fishing out of Muskegon than most other ports. There are numerous places for them to launch on Muskegon Lake. You may see the car ferry go in and out, and possible a freighter.

I addded your wife and her fish to your post. I am not sure why the two pictures uploaded black. Did you take the picture after dark without a flash? :D j/k I deleted the two black ones. There is a post in the general discussin area on how to add a picture to a post. Nice job on the Salmon Slammin!

That one was too easy!

Whoopssssss :rolleyes: Nice report Mike! Any size to the fish? Did you ever get a replacement probe for your depth raider? What was the down temp? Thermocline???? Sheesshhhh.....Sounds like I am writing a book

Here are the net locations at Muskegon. Minnow up loaded this to the photo gallery before a tourney.

Thanks Dan!

Who can tell me what this is?

Nice job Marv! Muskegon is HOT right now! It will be a zoo out there this weekend. Is Muskegon your home port?

Thanks Matt! I will look for them a little deeper next time I am out.

Sounds like you have 2 diver rods and a possible a rigger rod. You do not have the sturdy bases, so divers are out of the question for now. Divers are great because you can target a variety of depths. So now you have to make a decision on what depth you are going to target with those rods. Currently the fish are 10' and deeper, because of the cold water that is in. I caught a couple of fish on 2 colors of lead core on Sunday. I started to mark a thermocline on Sunday, 20' down in 110FOW. This will probably change over the next few days because of the warm sunny weather and no wind. The fish will move deeper to stay in the cooler water. Knowing you are going to need to target a deeper depth, you will need a way to get your baits down deeper. I would pick up a full core of lead core. A full core has 10 colors of lead. With this, you can split it between two rods or put it all on one. You can make any combinations of colors between the two rods. You will get between 4-5' of depth per color. 5 colors of lead will get your bait down appoximately 25'. Michigan Stinger came out with dive bombs this year. These are an add on planing weight system you can add to your line. They are available in 4 sizes. 1oz, 2oz, 3oz, and 4oz. A 4oz dive bomb will get apporiximately 30' of depth. The exact depths achieved by each size is still unkown. With a combination of lead core and dive bombs you can target a variety of depths, without needing 10 rods. If you are just getting into salmon fishing, I would highly recommend Keating on Kings, by Dan Keating. This is one of the best books I have read on salmon fishing! I have a couple of copies left if you are interested in one of them.

When I fished there earlier this year, I could have sworn there was 3 sets of nets almost straight out in 105-135FOW. I went for a boat ride on Saturday and did not find them. Did the nets get moved?

I hear you on the limping in at 6mph. I limped in on one engine a week and a half ago. It took me 1hr and 15 minutes to travel 8 miles. Was the diver bite on a spinner and fly combo or a spoon?

Nice job on the catching Dan! Any pictures?

That is one funky looking fish! I found a fillet knife to use on it. Putting back a 27lber because its not big enough. GLF is jealous with envy! Nice fish Skeinemachine.
