Tom (TLTorrice) and I hit Manistee harbor Saturday and got 4 lines set by about 5:30am. We started straight out in the 15's in 95fow heading north away from the traffic. As soon as we got lines set they started going, and going and going! Doubles, triples, non-stop action for an hour and a half! Seemed like most of the time we only had one line left in the water. We didn't have time to really steer, we just looked up often enough to make sure we didn't run into anyone and luckily there wasn't anyone around. I think we ended up in about 160fow when the action finally slowed at 7am. That's when we emptied the cooler to see if we were near our limit yet. We had nine.

There was a mix of steelhead, mature and 2 year old kings, the 2 bigger ones going 18 and 19 pounds. We released 2 more, lost one then got number 10 about an hour later and headed to the cleaning station.We've never seen such great action in Manistee and it's only July! Here's what worked:

Happy Meal on rigger 50ft down

Area 51 on wire out about 170
