Manistee 4/28

[Chummer]

Fished 6 - 9 AM, 200 - 300 FOW out and south. Forecasted 2' or less was lite, normal solid fishing buddy got a little green around the gills, it was bumpy and cold from east wind. Only ran five rods due to seas and current. What worked; 100' rigger SWR w/spoon went 2 for 3, 350 copper w/spoon went 1 for 2, and 120' rigger w/CJ meat rig took 1 fish. So 4 for 6 all kings, three females, all had empty stomachs. Still 40-41 from top to 100'+. Fish census at dock said slower based on his morning stats. All our fish came between 7 - 8 AM.

Last trip for me till memorial day. Fishing out of Homer Alaska next week for two days then brown bear hunting.

Nice Job Chummer. Have a ball in AK...

You ever fish where I fished all August this early in the year?

[Chummer]

No. Years ago used to chase browns out of Frankfort in March. First Sat. in April was my first '12 trip, earliest ever for kings.
