what's going on with the white fish at Muskegon?
Do you need a long handled net to reach them off the Pier?
Definitely bring a long handled net, the water is a long way down there right now.
They are in pretty thick right now!
You can always just flip them up too. A net is nice but not a requirement.
If you want to keep any legally hooked fish you will need a net. It's about 8 feet to the water and you will never get a mouth hooked fish up to the deck without a net, their mouths are just too soft. Now... a foul hooked fish on the other hand... hoist away and kick em back.
Was out there last Tuesday and got a limit with my buddy Brandon. Lots of fish being caught.
We left with 15 the other night ... all legal ... no net. With a net, obviously it would have been more - but hoisting them up is part of the fun too.
are they there day and night or just at night?
