After a slow day in South Haven on Saturday, we went to Muskegon on Sunday. Heavy fog obscured the commercial nets, so we ran deep for starters to avoid them in hopes of letting the fog burn off before we got into their area. We sat down in 288 and set a 050 troll to the NE with the waves. Short on crew members we set out our 9 rod spread with 5 leadcore, two divers and two riggers with sliders. from 730 to 1130 we went 15 for 25, and YES the captain did loose three fish in a row! (I had to list that, as I caught some serious grief that day!) Leadcore was the best throughout the day, but everything took bites. Pumkinseed Nailer on 16 colors of lead went twice, Blueberry glow size 500 nailer went twice on the 20 color leadcore, Tiger perch went twice on the diver back 110, Mashed bannana (11) went once on the 5 color, Blueberry muffin (45) went 3 times on the 13 color, Lemonfire Glow went 3 times on the 8 color and was only in the water after the sun popped out around 9 am, Sea Mist HorseFly went 4 times on deep riggers from 80 and 165 down, Lemon Ice glow (43) went on a rigger 62 down, Green dolphin prototype went once on a diver back 130, and the Wild thing in color #33 went once set as a slider on a rigger down 165. Our best water was 175-145. Direction of troll didnt matter as we caught fish in all directions. Fog lifted about 9 am and fish continued to bite with some color changes. Our final box had 14 fish with the one twinkie king tossed back. We had 9 kings, 4 lakers and 1 coho for a nice mixed bag. We also had two kings with lamprey on them if that matters to anyone.
