manistee report

The bank is hold some fish, we had a hard time getting them to go so we moved off the bank and started to work 150-250ft of water, fishing 50-70down has been best. Meat rigs have been doing most of the damage, NBK prochip flashers with hypnotist teaser rigs on low diver 105-140 back, blue killer prochip flasher with hit man no see em teaser rigs on high wires back 130-170. Some spoons have been doing ok, but my meat rigs have been taking alot more fish then them, Black killer stingray on a rigger 45-55 down, yellow killer on a rigger down 70. We were fishing from the 14s all the way to the 20s.

THe offshore fishing is still very good, fishing 25-80 has been best out there, 7 and 8 colors for steelies then deeper program for kings, side note there are some big mature kings out there to. Oranges on high cores and flashers and flies and some spoons down deep.

Matt...good report. We all would like to hear how you setup your meat program, but the attention to detail makes a big difference on getting meat to fire.

Thanks Matt....are you using strip bait or whole? And it might help some of the guys to explain how you tune your bait to get the right roll. What to do and what not to do. The correct roll is key to a meat presentation, if bait is spinning, it's wasting time.

[mattmishler]

I cut my own strips from whole, I make sure hooks are inline, meat is rolling at the same speed and is not changing the roll
