CaptEd Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 June 7, 2008 Fishing in Manistee has improved with the south wind, but the big fish have not arrived yet. Our best baits were Stinger's Blue Killer, NBK, and a green / White ProKing with some silver prism tape added to the back of the lure. Almost all the fish came on the riggers 99-110 feet over 150 -250 fow. There were no hits on the dipsy's, sliders or shallow downriggers. We had multiple rips on the lead core, but we only managed to hook up on one steelhead. The Blue Killer accounted for most of the fish, and it didn't seem to matter whether we fished a magnum or regular size lure. NBK took 1 steelhead, and the Proking took a steelhead and a salmon. I did have blue bubble on a lead core and a downrigger, but it didn't bring one fish to the boat. Watch out for the net at 16.5 in 230 fow. It is not listed on the internet.
