JoeMan Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Went out last night about 5pm with a friend, went 10 for 13. Great way to start the season. Ran out to the shelf (80fow) in front of the bath house and started a north troll. We started the first rigger at 50 down with a green frog SD/fly, once all the lines were set we dropped it down to 75' and as soon as we turned around it hit! Once the first fish was in the net the half core went off. Great fishing all night. Best lures were Gree frog SD/fly, Kevorkian on a full core, green glow on the half core. We kept the speed at 2.4 GPS. All Kings.
JoeMan Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 Great job Andy! Any size to the kings? We had 4 over 14#. It looks like the kings are bigger this year.
spoonfed Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 In muskegon our kings averaged 13 to 15 lbs. Looks like we should have some big fish this year. Also we marked a ton of bait fish.
JoeMan Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 how far north did you get what number was itWe started in the 59's, and went north to the 02's then turned around and came back thru the same area. Fished the bank from 70fow to 140fow. Fish were mostly up on top of the bank. I don't like getting all the way up to the stick, too crowded. We try to stay clear of the traffic when were working the cores.
Priority1 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 GJ out of Ludington. Love the Ludington Manistee area.
Teacher Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Great to hear the fish are that far north. We will be there in two weeks...H.
silver one Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Thanks for the report Andy. Looks like the fish moved north in a hurry this year.
Reel World Fishing Team Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Saturday was great in the areas Andy described. We took 19 fish for over 30 hits. We did find a new well marked net in the 59's and 33's in about 120+ FOW. Sunday was cold and windy and the fishing was a little slower. We were 4 for 6.Monday I fished up the bank and north to the 05's and then back to the 02's. 4 hits and 1 fish. Water was to cold and I should have turned around, but I had the bank almost to myself which is very rare and I thought the water would warm north of the point. It was also blowing hard from the east and where I was was about the best boat ride around. This season we only have had a couple of shakers, 1 trout and 2 steelhead for over 30 fish since 5-17. Most of our fish have been real decent 10 to 14 pound kings.
