Musegon 8-5

[Redeye]

Fished again this morning out of Muskegon with my brother and my father

(75 years old). Lake was quite rolly when we got out at 4:30 am. Started setting lines and before I got the 3rd line set wham the dipsey 125 back on 2 with green glow spin doctor/glow fly went and my father brought in about a 12 pounder. This would be the only fish my father would take for the morning as his knees are bad and the waves are really building. He did not mind at all as we needed someone to help drive. Next the other dipsey went short fight and the fly broke off. Retied and put it back out. Then moonshine turkish went on rigger set at 35 and landed this one. Finally got 6 rods down and next to go was a bloody nose lited J plug Landed this one. Lake was getting really rough with 3 - 5 footers at this point and an occasional 6. Everything we had down took fish Green/black ladder J, B nose J, Moonshine turkish and flounder pounder, dipsey's with spin doctor/fly. There were only about 6 - 8 boats fishing this morning as most went in because of the seas or crew chumming for salmon:eek:. We still ended the morning going 7 for 11 and the best troll for us was south or against the waves which was quite a challenge:).
