  1. Last week
  2. Are you still selling your custom painted bandit deep walleye crankbaits?
  3. Great idea having a portable propane heater. I was a little apprehensive on using one since most of the time I’m fishing in waves. Let me know how that works. I wont have the boat out of storage till April 9 and have some new items to install before I do my shake down run. Fishing in early to late April is usually spotty do to water temp. I think where your at I’ve heard that once the ice moves out fishing starts. ill send you a pic once I hit the water, my phone number is 1-616-401-5069
  4. Earlier
  5. FishDate: Monday, March 10, 2024. It appears the Perch have moved to deeper water, so is anybody hooking up Salmon yet? It is not like there aren't more than enough Salmon in the Lake for everyone; so DO TELL! What were you using? Spoons, lures, DR's, Dipsy's? Colors? Wave height, wind and weather conditions experienced during the troll? Just trying to get a general feel for what's working or what worked for you on a particular day?
  6. Absolutely, maybe we’ll pick up a few more guys on this. Let you know when I’m heading north.
  7. Sounds good Pete. I will do as well. I believe we are going to need some luck with the winds. It seems windy every day. Looking forward to getting out there. Hope to see you out there.
  8. Hi Stan the Man, now that you mention that they went to Facebook. I do remember that now I was on the same website, dont do FB either. The last 3 years I’ve had a lot of stuff going so I haven’t been up for a while but I plan on going up this spring and early summer as much as I can. I’ll post whatever I do, find, and see and post here on this thread. 🎣 Cheers to not a lot of east winds lol
  9. Hey guys I used to belong to another website where there was a ton of information about the bite on Lake Superior, but they decided to move it onto Facebook which I don't participate in, so I was done. I don't know how often you guys' fish up on the north shore, but we could try to get something going on here if you have time. It's very difficult to find info out there. We are going to try to spend a good amount of time up there this year. Just a thought. Tight lines.
  10. Thanks for sharing the pics. Browns are good eaters - enjoy!
  11. We were out near you yesterday too. Tried by cooks, water plant , alittle north and south of piers …nothing. Mark a few here and there and that was it. Two other boats at the launch got zip. Back to erie for awhile. Good job guys
  12. Just 3 for 3 at Cook plant . 2 browns, 1 coho. Ran 8 lines: high line, 1C, 2C and mini dipsey on each side. 2 in bubbler on gold double orange crush mini spoon on Big Jon mini dipsey out 50’. 1 on 1 color w/jointed J11 bk/chtome/wh/gold Rapala trolling north, downhill, between Cook and Chalets. At least a dozen boats down there and only saw 1 other net in the water. Not sure where they went. They could be in their other location this time of yr in 200’ eating invasive species Mysa shrimp. 200’ is about 13 miles out in SJ; around 7 miles inSourh Haven. PS: NO more fishing in the bubbler until fall; buoy boat was deploying buoys.
  13. Possibly a PB for me. I landed a huge female this weekend fishing in a Lake Michigan Tributary.
  14. The past two weeks, I made it to the Milwaukee River to fish for trout. There are some big ones in the river. I might have caught my biggest brown ever this weekend.
  15. Out after work yesterday a couple hours. Didn't mark alot 10-30fow working the shore and bars to the north. There is a dredge and tubes staged in consumers cove. On the way out went ~25 ft off the south like last years program was 2.4 Trolling on the way back in and did a goofy north pier head to south rocks line almost thru the middle never saw less than 4.4 Got 1 lure and some line in the channel so all hope was not lost.
  16. Hey Jiggin Jim I’m in the same boat per se. Live in the Brainerd Lakes area and can never find any reports on superior there used to be a superior forum but it’s disappeared.
  17. You’ll be lucky to get 25 cents a piece for old Northport Nailers. Pity as they still work. The other spoons I see are Producer’s spoons which you might be able to give away. Swap meet last week barely used currently popular spoons we’re going for $2 each.
  18. Hey John, I liked your thought process behind the aggressive 3 rod spread, when running solo. Guessing that is going to be my situation too, most of the time. I understand the rigger and high, but what are you doing for the low? Putting a stacker on your DR? Running a Dipsy and a deep diving lure? Wouldn't the DR be your low? Also, I like the term used for thick, heavy trolling traffic: Combat Fishing! Paul
  19. WOW! I've learned something from each and every post on this thread. Thank you to all!
  20. I bought a Mr. Heat Propane stand alone for around $100 before Christmas, so my wife got me a heater for the boat...... either that or a Cabela's/Bass Pro Gift Card. Actually, I used it more than a couple times working on the boat and trailer. It's stored indoors, but not heated indoor storage. Absolutely thrilled you are interested in fishing together sometime. My friends that fish, I'll be lucky to get any of them to go until some really warm days in April. I'm probably going to trolling solo most of the time, and occasionally with my wife. She's not a fan of the cold, and legally can't fish until April 1, when her 2024 license is valid. She never fished before. But she has watched me fish when we have went camping. Buying a 2023 license would only be worth the price if she fished every day the rest of the month, and that isn't going to happen. So, there is always have room for a fishing buddy. I'll let you know when I get the 2024 shakedown cruise behind me and see where that leads (what else needs replacement or fixing?). After that, anytime you feel the urge, let me know and we'll make it happen. My phone is 219-306-1225. The picture of the planer motors I posted has changed slightly. I reconfigured the motors on the bracket so a quick release mount can be attached. The post was a picture taken immediately after removing it from the box.
  21. Good talking to you too Paul. No enclosure on my boat, at times I wish it did. I’m kicking around the thought of bringing out a portable heater. My previous boat had an enclosure and I do miss having a place to get out of the wind and cold. As far as going fishing together I’d be open too it, Im always looking to learn and the best way is to fish with another captain.
  22. Anybody going out of Portage having any success with Salmon yet? Seeing the lots full of empty trailers, but the Perch are still biting, so not sure what everyone is bringing in, as I haven't personally stopped to investigate.
  23. There is one ramp at each location waiting for you. Let us know if Port Sheldon still is shallow and what side to hug if necessary to get out like last year. The PS ramp is quite aways down, even the Holland one is somewhat lower, because of the lake levels. I estimate it is about 1.5 ft lower then last year . GOOD FISHING & LUCK TO ALL OF YOU THIS YEAR!

  24. You have a minimum of $1000 worth of spoons with 240! That is based on pricing them between $4-$5 each, assuming the spoons are in good condition. New spoons are running around $7-$13, depending on size and brand. And J-plugs, which aren't easy to find new any longer, are worth at least $5 each or offer the lot of 17 for $70-75, depending on their condition and if they are complete with harnesses. The best advice I can offer where you won't get any disagreements with estimates is do your own appraisal of value. Go to E-bay and search each general item (i.e., spoons; lures; etc.). You should find items similar to those you are offering for sale and can get a relative feel for their value. Just trying to help you get the most for what you have to offer.
