JoeMan Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The boat launches are finally back open after the big storm and flooding we had last week. My buddy Dave and I fished this morning from 8am till 11am and boated 6 fish. We were straight out about 7 miles from the harbor and fished 120fow to 220fow. First fish came on a chrome/yellow spin doctor with a lemon ice fly on a dipsy with a mag ring 190 back. The next 3 fish came on a yellow/black spoon on a downrigger 95 down. Next fish came on a green dolphin on a full core. And the last fish came on a carmel dolphin that was on a slider line as we were getting ready to pull the last rigger for the trip in. The fish were hitting when we had the speed up over 3mph. Its a pretty good day when you can sleep in, go catch a pack of good eaters, the come home to fire up the grill and cook up the catch!!

JoeMan Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks, It's been a slow start this year with very cold Spring weather and all the storms that finally ended up with a lot of flooding between Ludington and Manistee. This web site looks good, very informative, I hope to pick up some tips for salmon fishing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeMan Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 GLF, The fish were not big. Only 4-6lbs. but great for the grill. I've heard of very few fish caught at 17-18lbs, none over 20 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
