TOPIC:

It's been a while since I have posted, been lurking but not as much fishing as I would like this year. However I am headed up to Manistee for the first time ever Thursday night, plan on fishing Friday and Saturday. It sounds like the fish are there now so hoping for good results. We will only be running a 6-rod setup (2 people going) initial plan is to run 2 downriggers, 2 dispeys and 2 flatlines (leadcore and/or copper).

Does anyone have a contact up there that can give any starting point info or least a depth etc. I have some ideas of where I will go Friday morning but just checking to see if any of you have a contact or have fished the port before and can offer any additional intel.

Thanks in advance!

PS - I have made it over to Erie a coup[le times this year, if anyone needs any input for a first-time trip over shoot me a PM I'll be happy to give out my limited advice on fishing for walleye.

Thanks

I dont have any info but wanted to say good luck and please share your trip sounds like a good time.

Mojo, im heading up Wednesday night and fishing through Sunday, we have a a crew of 5 boats and 10 guys (only 2 big water boats). one of our guys with the other big boat is headed Wednsday morning and going to scout for us. i will let you know what we find out. if you want to swap cell numbers we can text any usefull info while we are up there. Ill be up there late Wed. night panning on hitting the sunrise bite early thursday.

Thank you! And I will definitely post up a report when I get back. This has been on my list for a couple of years so glad I am making it happen this year. I have high hopes but am also realistic that going to a new area isn't always the perfect recipe for success!
