I was greeted with choppy 2-4 foot seas this morning from the northwest. We ran to 200 fow and set up shop with the waves. We finished 5 for 8 all silver fish today. Fish were 80-165 down. Nailers in blueberry glow (19), Greenberry glow (18), Lime ice glow (42), mashed bannana glow (12) all took bites on the riggers and 450 copper. Wire divers on 1 took a bite each with E chip in blue glow and green glow with seaweed and sea mist Horse Flies in tow. Two kings were just shy of 12# each. Two fish that we lost were also good sized kings.

Do you think the kings are running a little bigger this year than last year at this time? I seem to be getting the sense that they are. Last year 12-14 seemed common in August. I'm hoping we'll see more 16-18 by then this year.

no, I think they will be the same or smaller. they are thick, but short. We say it every year, we catch good fish in the spring and get all excited about whats to come and they are the same size, or even smaller than the spring fish.

It seems like the further north one goes, the larger the fish but the numbers are less. We got a lot of 16 - 18 lb. fish in Leland but didn't limit out much until labor day. There was alot of 3 - 4 fish trips. Labor day and the next couple of weeks were better. Pentwater and Ludington took limits most of the summer but a lot of 8 - 12 lb fish. The fish are definitely smaller the last few years. I have yet to fish out of Muskegon.
