Manistee Dock Reporters: Captain Tom & Mary Rasmussen
Report

Sept-8-11 - Is producing good salmon action between the piers and 90 feet of water. Anglers are bringing in some big fish weighing 20 pounds or more! Meat rigs and spin/fly combos were catching the majority of fish. Kings were caught off the piers at dawn and dusk when using glow spoons.

Manistee River: Is producing some large chinook salmon. Overall; the fish caught are much bigger than the past couple years. Anglers are reminded that the Little Manistee River is closed to fishing from the weir downstream to Manistee Lake.

 
Aug 16th-2011 - Captain Tom & Mary's Report - Cold water was close to shore, 48 degree surface, and so were the fish both to the north, to the south and in the Harbor. The fish hit a mixture of magnum glow spoons and plugs from 2-20 feet down in 15-40 feet of water in an assortment of colors. The fish this week remain large with lots of 20-28 pound fish being brought in. It may just be that the fish are a couple weeks late and the next 4 weeks might be great.

July Fishing recap report through July 21st:

The first half of July: fishing has been very good on full day charters from 12-20 miles out down 8-50 feet. All colors seemed to work on regular size spoons and the fish box has been a mixture of Steelhead to 8 pounds, Lake Trout to 6 pounds, Coho to 6 pounds and an occasional King to 17 pounds.

Third week of July: Inshore Fishing is starting to pick up as Lake Michigan is in the process of turning over. That means the King Salmon are moving in with a 27 1/2 pound king caught on Tuesday in 80 feet of water. Regular size spoons in Blue & Green and mixed vegetable color have worked well from 7:30am on with Glows working well the first couple hours . July 21st. Fish were from 35-100 feet deep with medium spoons on Copper and Lead doing the trick. Some boats came in with 15-20 fish, Kings & Steelies ranging from 6-21 pounds.

It looks like July, for the third year in a row will have been a very good fishing month and great weather.

 
July 21st-2011 - Boaters were catching kings in 50 to 150 feet of water. Try running green flies or spoons. Coho and steelhead were also caught off shore when fishing the top 50 feet with orange spoons. Pier fishing was slow.
 
July 7th-2011 - Salmon action was slow with only a few fish caught 60 to 120 feet down in waters 100 to 200 feet deep. Steelhead were caught in the top 40 feet when trolling orange spoons. Pier fishing was slow.
 
June 16th-2011 - Salmon fishing has been decent when anglers can get out. Most are using spoons in the top 50 feet although some chinook salmon were caught a little deeper. Blue or green spoons were good. Pier anglers have caught chinook and brown trout.
 
June 2nd-2011 - Boats are catching a few brown trout and salmon just in front of the piers. The salmon were caught in the top 50 feet of waters 100 to 200 feet deep. Try orange or green spoons. Pier fishing was slow.
