EdB Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Got out one last time on Saturday on my friends boat in Onekama. Fishing was great. We hit 16 fish and boat 12. We didn't fish long, left the dock at 7:00 and were back at 10:00. It was slow for the first hour and then it lit up with doubles and triples. Wind started blowing hard when we left. Got some nice steelies, one mature coho and some 2 and 3 yr old kings.We fished straight out in 90-100 ft of water. Riggers down 40 to 70 feet. low mag divers out 130, highs out 170. 1/2 core with a super slim fireball, 9 color with mag DW leapord frog and a 200 ft copper with a regular leopard frog. A stinger NBK was good on the 70 ft rigger. A DW double orange crush and a stinger steelie stomper were good as free sliders on the corner riggers down 60 and 70 ft. A dancing anchovy moonshine was good on a low diver and streak metalic yellow tail was good on a high diver. My Ludington neighbors really whacked them down there too. Once boat fished the bank in the same water depth and got 15 and another went south in the 38's and out and got 23. Fishing is red hot up there now, good luck!

JWheeler Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Nice job Ed. I'm hoping that the water conditions are manageable this weekend cause I'm looking to hit it. That is some great action in a short time frame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
