TODAY'S MANISTEE
CHARTER FISHING REPORT
8-21 Wow sorry about three weeks of no updates
just too busy and tired and didn't realize it had been that long.
Fishing as been good with larger Kings this year. Two thirty
pounders were caught last week on the beach north of Manistee and the
average seems to be up a couple of pounds. Cold water has kept us
fishing on the beach and in the harbor for over a week now but predicted
south winds should move the best fishing back to the shelf this weekend.
Still fishing everyday until Sept 7 but will try to get some more
updates in.
8-1 Enjoyed a day off today by heading to
Traverse and purchasing a new fish cooler along with a few baits.
According to reports fishing was fantastic again today and should
continue. I will try to get a few updates in but we have 7 trips
in 4 days and I know how I get a bit behind. The thermocline has
stabilized and is a bit deeper but those early fish are still biting up
high.
7-31 Well after a few days of struggling a bit
we finally had a great day as fishing has been very good for a week now
but we just seemed to have some slow trips and bad weather. Today
we boxed a dozen beautiful fish with a 13# Steelie and two Kings over
18#. Tomorrow is our last day off for a couple of weeks so it was
nice to see a great box going into this stretch. Fish have been
coming in 80-125 feet and around 35-60 down. Plugs and spoons
ruled the day today.
7-26 Rough, rough, rough is the only way
to describe the last two days when the forecasted 1 to 3 footers turned
into 5's both days and made fishing very difficult. Although we
struggled to put numbers in we did manage our biggest with a 23# fish
today. Looks like a much improved forecast the next 4 days if they
aren't lying to us again. Fishing should be fantastic with calm
water.
Good Fishin!
