Special K

Marked lots of bait. Saw a few alewives floating and one of the kings still had one in his mouth when we brought him in.

Muskegon 5/9 am Fished the mud this morning with Doug on the Floating Holiday. Went 11-14 All kings. (11th fish came pulling lines and was released) Fished the pier heads out to 60fow. Best bait was a uv stinger jordo on a 6 color. Rigger down 45 with a yellow flounder pounder rv, stinger uv mixedveggies on a rigger down 40, stinger uv mixed veggies on a 200cu, stinger uv yager bomb on a 125cu all took fish.

Fished from 530 till 100 going 4-5 with 3 kings and 1 coho. Worked 40-90 fow with 60-70 being the best. 8 color with a green ace hi splatter back took 2 kings, 150 copper with a moonshine green jeans plug took the other king. Coho hit a uv mixed veggies on a 5 color. Had a nice rip on a chrome killer SD with a thruster buster meat rig on a diver 125 back, but lost em after a few minutes. Also caught 2 monster sheepshead on the 8 color. South troll was the best. Down temps are all over the place, one minute you have 48 degrees 55 down the next minute its 60 degrees. Best part of the day was getting my son his first king. Big shout out to Doug on the Floating Holiday and Jim on the SS Reaper for helping make this happen.

Fished from 530 till 1 going 4-8 with 3 kings and a steelhead. Started out setting up right at the pier heads. 200 copper with a ace-hi blue ladder back glow plug 16.3 lb king Fixed slider down 35 with a moonshine blue jackal rv 5lb steelhead Fixed slider down 31 with a moonshine bloody nose rv took a monster rip and ended up getting into my 150,200 coppers and got off. rigger down 50 with a moonshine flounder pounder rv starts pounding and immediately gets into the wire diver and breaks off rigger down 50 (new) moonshine flounder pounder rv starts pounding again and is gone before we can get to the rod. all this action is in the first 2 hours of the day working out front in 40 -60 fow, then it goes dead and we start to work our way west after making a few more passes on the way out the 150 copper with a stinger uv mixed veggie starts slowly creeping out and we bring in the line thinking we have a skipper or small laker and are surprised to see it's a 7lb king in 70 fow. Another dead spell till we hit 140 when the braid diver back 125 with a kevins girlfriend SD and meat rig fires giving us our best king of the day 17.5 lbs. we work the 130-140 fow awhile with no more action. Decide to troll back to the pier heads and we lose a small king on a fixed slider with a blue dolphin down 40 in 118fow Lots of cold water up front I had 44 degree water 40 foot down. Best speed 2.2_2.6 sog. Very nice to put a few kings on the deck.
