Manistee 6-11

[Capt Craig]

Manistee took off today with some warmer water moving some more fish into the area. We took 17 by 9AM and lost another 8. Another charter took 22 on a full day trip. Our best was a Stingray Monkeyshine behind a Slide Diver Lite Bite with a big ring and the optional 4 oz weight set on 1 and 100 out. I am still experimenting with these but had seven bites on this rod. Riggers took fish from 45-90 down and 5 and 10 colors also produced several fish along with a 10 color and 4 oz Dive Bomb. A 200' Slide Diver set up like above with a flasher and fly also took a couple fish. Best baits were the NBK, Carmel Dolphin, Glo Green Alewife, and Monkeyshine wih the Stingrays far out producing the Stingers. We Started just North at 16.5 and kept a South troll all morning ending at 11.5 and our best was around 120 FOW. Get a net report from fishmanistee.com before heading out.
