4/24 Muskegon Salmon and Trout

Fought the strong offshore winds and managed five nice fish on Saturday.  First king of the season about 13#  and a decent steelhead hit the cooler and three really nice lake trout (up to 15#) had to swim free since the season is closed until May 1.  Northport Nailer spoons took all the fish.  Easter Egg glow (48) set 25 down on the rigger took 2 lakers, Mixed veggie (47) set 20 down on the rigger took the King, Mashed Bannana (11) on the 3 color took the steelhead and BOG (black/ orange on Gold) took the last laker on the 5 color. Fish seemed to be in the 40 foot range within a mile of the pier heads.  Water temp ranged from 42-46 and change.  The wind made boat control a little tricky at times and I had to cut the spread down from 18 rods to 17 rods.
