Muskegon 7/11 am

[Fire Escape]

First trip on my boat this year. Like to do it solo in case i turn it into a cluster. I don't like witnesses to my own stupidity.

Great morning though. Set lines in 80' of water just north of the pierheads at 6:30 am.

NW troll had 5 fish in the box by 7:30 and had to throw another back that hit before i could get the last 2 lines cleared.

150 copper with a moonshine. Not sure of the name but it looks like a Bloody nose.

Riggers at 62 with a white paddle and at 50 with a Happy meal

Each line took 3 fish.

These were not "Tournament" Fish if your fishing Muskegon this weekend.

Just 5 to 10# good eating small Kings and Steelhead

Good job and thanks for the Muskegon report. I plan to be out tonight.

If you set up in 80fow, how far out did you end up going? I presume you saw the nets in 90fow, but maybe you were already NW of them.

Thanks.

Started just south of the nets and trolled outside of them. Finished just past them in 115' of water. 2.9 on the GPS seemed to work the best but honestly i maybe fished 10 min. all morning without having a fish on.

Thanks for the report on your successful shakedown cruise. I hope your future trips this year are as successful.

Thanks for the report. You wish all the shakedown cruises go that way.
