Muskegon 8-24

Sorry for the late report from yesterday - took a few guys out that wanted to go, but could only go yesterday...tried to dissuade them - but no dice. We waited for the storm to mostly pass - and left dock at 8:00 AM.

Hit 90 FOW and started set up - nothing much on the screen until we hit the 140 range or so - just north of port.

About an hour in - wire dipsey on 2 out 185' took a 6# Coho - then dead for another hour or so - then finally a board went off - nice 10 # steelie on double orange crush - 150' copper line.

Another hour or so and the corner deep rigger goes off - 13# laker on white pearl SD and salmon fly.

Nothing and as the afternoon started to wane - winds started to shift to more NNW and it got a bit rough - just before pulling lines about 3ish - inside copper out 200' went off - BIG rip - the guy locked down for no good reason - and a huge steelie flew about 5 feet in the air - and unhooked...

Pulling lines and a few more knocks on the wire dipsey - nobody home.

It was a tough day to fish - but we managed 3 for 6 or 7 - until we got blown off the lake.
