Mike Bonin is shown here with a nice Muskegon Lake king taken in the "sand docks" staging area near the Muskegon Channel on September 14, 2003. The "Green Dude" trolled with a Coyote flasher off the dipsy took this king. The "Little Bride" with a white Fishcatcher performed equally well on the other dipsy that morning.

My two oldest daughters, Stephanie and Christa, took an evening off from stringing beads on leaders and packaging flies to catch some nice kings in 70' of water out of Muskegon. "Hypnotist" and "Wild Fern" were working well with green Hootchie Mamas on this warm August evening. They even let me catch one fish!
