flyman013 Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Trolled a few hours tonight on Munising Bay. Went 0-1 all night. We had a hit in 95 FOW, 60 feet down on the downrigger. Hit a jointed J-13 silver Rapala as I was setting the line. My wife was able to reel it to the side of the boat where it proceeded to smile and wink at us as it spat the hook and swam off. It looked like about a 20 something inch rainbow. Oh well, still enjoying my trip!
Nailer Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Munising Bay is a beautiful area. Thanks for the report Peter.
GLF Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Thanks for the report Peter. I have not been out in a few weeks and enjoy reading the reports.
Vitalidle Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Pete I was fishing Munising Bay on the 24th. Graphed lots of fish, but everything was in the bottom 30to 50 feet no matter what depth I was fishing in. I was 130ft deep with the depth raider to get a 51-52 degree reading. Here is a snapshot of my fish finder. What were you seeing on the 25th? http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q23/vitalidle/003-3.jpg"]
Priority1 Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Peter, TY for the report. Better luck next trip.
flyman013 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 Thanks for the replies everyone! We went out again yesterday and had some success! Caught two nice Cohos in the bay. Both on a north troll in 70 FOW, 50 feet down. The larger male coho came on a jigging spoon while the smaller female came on the same jointed Rapala. Sean, we were seeing the same thing on our finder. Most everything we saw was in the same range, just off the bottom. They were stacking up in front of the Ana river mouth by the paper mill. We picked all our fish up between the hotels and the hospital. We did see some fish caught from the pier near the Ana river. They were using spawn. Here's the results from yesterday!
