Priority1 Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 I may be pulling Priority1 to Manistee very soon. Anybody fished there lately? I'll have to stick close to the packs until I figure out the net locations. Manistee is my favorite Lake Michigan port. Nets were NOT a factor last year.

Priority1 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Posted July 21, 2007 Thanks Capt. I'm going to fish the Saginaw Bay Sunday, for some Walleyes. I'm going to watch the weather and try and get a crew together for a couple days next week. Thanks again Capt. Dick:)
tltorrice Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Fished Manistee this morning. Didn’t get out as early as I had hoped, set lines around 6:30 in the 16s & 17s. Lots of boats. Didn’t get any hits so decided to go out and play in the nets. Had 3 hits. One on a dipsy with a yellow spindoctor fly compo, Another on Blue spin doctor and a silver fly. Lost both of those. Landed a small king off of full core with a black and silver thunderstick.Back out in the morning.
tltorrice Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Fished Manistee again this morning July 22. Set lines at 5:00 just north of the harbor in around 100 fow. First bite came after light on a fishcatcher fly on a dipsy. This fish came off. We moved south and stayed west of the nets and started picking away. 3 salmon on full core with a chrome and blue j plug. One on a meat rig on a dipsy, another on a down rigger at 70 and 40 back, that was a green ladder back j plug. Also caught one lake trout. Pulled lines at 2:30pm, long day but a lot of fun.Tom
Priority1 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 GJ Tom. I going to try and get over there Wed-Fri. What kind of a heading out of the harbor do you need to stay in the 16s and 17s? I usually head straight out of the harbor and fish the shelf. I haven't been there yet this yr, so the nets are all new to me.
