Fishing in Manistee was very good this morning. We left the dock at 5:15 am and was back at 8:05 am.  The marina owner said “Fish the Flats” 16 north to 14.75 south.  It was nonstop action.  Big black paddle took the first bite and glow mag spoons all went in the next 20 minutes. At 7 am we dropped in a couple meat riggs – 1chute rigger w/meat & 1 diver w/meat.  The diver went3 times in the next 30 minutes along w/the glow mag spoons.  We never got 6 rods in the water at once.  The total depth fished was 90’ to 130’, fishing down 50’ to 80’.  The smallest fish in the box was 8 ¼# and the largest was 22#

Good luck

The Capt.
