That's great!

This will be more info than you need... I started with Church Walleye boards, love them and use them every outing. I tried 44's for heavier long lines but they seemed to pull harder than necessary. I won a 12" Ninja board and loved it. So my summer spread includes a mix of Walleye and 12" Ninja boards. They play well together. I believe the 9.5 inch boards would plane like the Church walleye boards. Spend it if you got it.

I use the 12" one's and they work really well

For those of you that run Ninja boards do you use 9.5” or 12”? thks

Last Wednesday night we opened up our 3 net pens and released 131,000 salmon fingerlings. For 2 weeks we fed them 4 times a day and they grew 8% in length - from 9.7mm to 10.5 mm and in weight 24% - from 130 fish/kg to 105/kg. Two weeks ago DNR told use we were getting another 50,000 kings. Today in addition to these kings they brought over another 1,000 steelies. They pumped them into the river at our city launch. No nets pens. So, total steelie plantings 21,000 (they planted 20k late March). Total kings 181,000. I want to thank DNR Wolf Lake Hatchery, SW Steelheaders and all our South Haven Steelheaders that helped. .

It's slim pickings out there now for some reason. Maybe July will come early? Alewife hit the harbors sooner than normal.

Embarrassed to report, but only 2 shaker kings in 4 hours of fishing. Fished 80-170 from pier heads north a few miles. Threw all kinds of gear at them, didn’t mark many fish. Fish came in 110 and 120 on 300 cu and freeslider down 60 Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Thanks for the report on Saugatuck.
