Fishsporttom Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Set out in the 50 fow out from the channel another morning of rough water 3-4 footers rollers started a south to north troll marking the staging of one of the first big runs of the season. Could not get a bite for nothing and waves continued to beat us up, so headed in around 10:30 stopped just past the mouth by 200 yds or so in Muskegon Lake in 40 fow hubs dropped a old pink jigging lure and within 5 minutes had first fish on, then 10 minutes later 2nd fish on same lure, some nice 18 pound darkies. Handed me the the pole and the fun began, had a hit and the fight began. After 20 minutes and begging the hubs to take the pole I pulled in a 22 pound silver female who just about whooped my behind. We finished the day 8 4 10 all nice hogs the kings are big this year. What a great day. Pink did the job
Just Hook'n Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I've never fished like that (jigging) before. Sounds like a riot.
Fishsporttom Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 Whats fun about jigging is you feel the bite set the hook and then feel the rip of screaming line being pulled by a freight train, and the battle begins. The big ones this time of the year fight hard, shake the bait like a pit bull, and clear the water like a sailfin you see alot of fish winning the battle. All the fish we saw caught were mid teens to low 20's pound wise.
