Manistee fishing report 6/23/2007

[CaptEd]

6/23/2007 Jim, Tom and I went out fishing this morning and for the first time this year we got a early morning bite. It was short but we welcomed it. The fish came on the downriggers up set at 39 feet down and 120 feet back on Sister Sludge silver streak lures in 120 fow. The next best bait was the silver streak Diamondback which we had out on 10 colors of leadcore which accounted for 3 of the 6 fish we caught this morning. We did not go out to the 39's like the tournament fisherman and charters, who only caught an occasional steelhead and many lakers all in the 3-6 pound range. It seems like schools of 3 year old salmon are moving around and it was feast or famine depending on whether you found a good location. We took a couple of pics, but we were there for the fishing not the photos. There were new nets placed in the last couple of days. See the new locations at http://www.fishwithcaptained.com/Nets.html
