1mainiac Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Left the dock at 2:45 back in by 7:00 4 nice Steelhead 2 Kings one about 8 lbs the other about 2 2 of the Steelhead were over 10 lbs. Steelhead candy and Snowsnake took most of the fish on a 5 color between 60 and 100 ft right out front. 6 for 8 not bad for shorthanded in strong winds and building waves.
DiverDennis Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 We went out yesterday and today. Got skunked yesterday from 45' to 80' with roller coaster waves. Today we fished from the pier heads out to 150' in rough seas again. Went 2/4 with a decent steelhead (110fow, braid dipsy size 0, 125 back, greasy chix wing mag) and a small king. It was nice to talk with 1MAINIAC for a while. Check out the video of, "A Rough Day On The Lake". http://s277.photobucket.com/albums/kk80/DiverDennisL/MUSKEGON/?action=view¤t=MOV01366.flv
1mainiac Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 Nice job Dennis we were giving up at 3 for 4 when we last talked on the radio decided to just troll in with the wind and waves at our backs picked up a dbl in 55ft landed both Steelhead turned around ran back out and came back across my mark and hit a second double which we lost one as I asked John to drop the speed down and he put the boat in reverse a little to far back on the ol lever. By the time I got the boat straightened back out my fish was gone. I am going back out again later this week for a afternoon trip with Jay and Steve. Fish count is now up to 288 for the season no Lakers counted as all but a few were released. Fishing is great right now not sure why anyone would put their boat up early when the fall Steelhead is some of the best fishing out there.

What is candy and snowsnake? Thanks.
1mainiac Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 Snowsnake is a nitro spoon Steelhead candy is a chrome spoon with a brownish orange paint. Looks like crap but takes lots of fish. both kings came on riggers all the steelhead came on 5 color setups. trolling fast 4.3 to 5.8 GPS
Just Hook'n Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Way to go Jim. I bet your avatar picture is pretty close to what you had to wear this weekend.
