Muskegon 7-14 - Late Report and Sad News


Recommended Posts

Fished out of Musk. last Monday on the new boat - haven't been out since fall 2012 as I sold the old boat in March last year.

On the water and set up at 7 am - straight out in 90 FOW and trolled west. Hit our first fish in about 125 fow, my 9 year old daughter's first time and she pulled in a 13.5 lb. king (I had to help her - it was a great sight).

We continued to troll west as the screen was uninspiring, and we took 2 more fish by about 10 am - 11 lb steel, and another king 9 lbs. Trolled out to 350' looking for good looking water, but turned around and headed back to the temp break around 130 fow, just north of the harbor.

went 4/5 with one more small king and had a great day on the water. Can't remember all the details, but we caught them on a mixed bag - 5 color lead, 85 on DR, 41 down on DR, and one on a braided dipsey.

One of my good friends and his buddy drove home to Missouri that afternoon, and he was killed instantly when he fell asleep at the wheel, his buddy survived - it was his first time on the water with me, and first time fishing for salmon, and I can say it was a glorious day on the water and grateful for the time we had together. Here is a picture of him helping my daughter hold up her first king ever....he will be missed.
