My report for the Manistee Budweiser Pro/Am


Recommended Posts

I know I am a little late in this report but better late than never, right.:)

I fished aboard my Uncle's boat for this tourny and the 2 of us pre-fished Friday morning going 4/4. Went south into the 10's and worked the 60-80 FOW were we marked lots of fish a week earlier. Nothing there so we headed out and picked up our 4 fish in 140-180 FOW. Two shakers off a rigger 80 down on a Silver Streak green frog and the other 2 fish (8lb and 10lb'er) came on full leadcore with a white hotchie and white fly.

Saturday morning for the tourny we decided to work that same area but it turned out that it was a bad decision. Ended up going 2/6 in 8hrs of fishing. In all honesty, we only felt 3 of those fish. Other 3 fish were a quick rip and then gone. I cant recall the baits that worked Sat cause with slow fishing comes fast drinking.:)

Gathered some info from other boats that worked some different water and decided to go a little north and work some deep water Sunday morning. Very slow for us for the first few hours, 0/0. We ended up finding a few fish about a mile north around 280-300 FOW. Finished the day 5/6. Four king's with the biggest going just under 17lbs and one 7lb laker. All fish but the laker hit on the riggers 90-110 feet down with hotchies and meat. Laker came on a rigger 100 feet down on the SS green frog.

Ended up placing 43rd in the AM division out of some 70+ boats.:(

Congrats to Fishin Magician on the Win.:)
