We really need some south winds to straighten out the lake. We have cold water everywhere and the fish are scattered. We took nine nice Kings today but we really had to work for them. We fished out on the shelf in 70 to 220 feet of water. Many boats stayed in the harbor or trolled along the beaches North and South of Manistee. A green ladder back plug on 10 colors of lead was our best today. We took fish on both high and low divers with hootchies and KRW Aqua Gold flies. The big white hootch on the center rigger went a couple times. Once at 45 down and then later at 60. By the end of the day we had it down 110 but couldn't get it to go.
