Fished the pier this morning for the first time this year. Caught 2 nice kings. One cast right after the other. Only saw two other fish caught this morning.

The bonus fish was a 12 lb king that came in with a spin doctor, fly, dispsy, and snubber in tow. The fly was not hooked in the fishes mouth when we netted it, it was just on my line. There's also a chunk of wire in the mess, but it isn't attached to any of the items, so I'm not sure where it came into play.

Gotta love the Bonus fish!

My first ever salmon caught at Manistee a few years back was a nice 19 lber w/ dipsey diver, doger & fly combo still hooked on her.

Nice job Fishous - What tiome did you get into them and what did they hit on? I'll be hitting a pier North of you over the holiday weekend, just wondered what to bring up. Thanks!!!

Was that a few years ago or a couple weeks ago? I just lost that very same set up.:lol:
