7/30 ON FIRE Salmon and steelhead fishing in Muskegon |
|
|
After a three week hiatus from the big lake for family vacation and work, I made it out last night with friends. WOW, what a night! We fished about 3.5 hours and whacked the fish. Finishing 19 for 26 is always a good day, but with not expectations and limited fishing reports, I was really pleased. We found fish in 130-220 fow and they wanted white! Spoons ruled, but we did take 4 on Seaweed Horse Fly and one on Sea Mist. Northport Nailers ruled the roost from there. Things got really chaotic once we found the fish. Doubles and triples were the norm including two fish on one rod with one on the slider and one on the main line at the same time, while also fighting fish on two other rods. Fish were pretty consistantly 70-90 down with a couple coming higher up, but nothing deeper. Two bites on Bloody Nose Dalmation (56), three bites on white tiger (67), One on Dark Monkey puke (22), Three bites on the Salmonhead Prototype, ten bites on Easter Egg Glow (48) and two bites on Rasberry glow (50). Yes, you read that right, 10 BITES on Easter Egg Glow. Divers 150-190, 300 copper, 250 copper, riggers 70-90 all produced. One lone bite on a 9 color. IMMEDIATE OPENINGS THIS WEEKEND. Saturday or Sunday!
