spoonfed

with spoons we run 6 to 8ft leads. flashers we are anywhere from 18 in to 8 ft

If you cant find one, I have an extra one kicking around somewhere

what time do they open the gates?

can we sleep in the boat in the parking lot like ludville J?

Im going to Pentwater and fishing monday night and tuesday morning, where is the boat launch located?

we took the snubbers off two weeks ago because the fish we were pulling were out of temp and lite biting. we do run them in the fall when the bigger fish come in

Ive seen it at Cabelas also

It has nothing to do with February, the fact of the matter is they got caught by 3 other boats cheating. ( as per the rules presented to everybody in the tournament) It has nothing to do with jealousy or anything else. Its called Cheating. I fish the tournament trail. If you get caught you are done. that is my understanding. to withdraw with out a investigation is wrong. The boats that turned them in had nothing to gain, we are all competitive and want to win. Cheating is lieing! They weighed there box knowing so! This has nothing to do with other boats gaining anything, just honest guys sick of BS! The bad thing is the ludington tournament used to have 300 boats, the numbers have decreased over the years and this will hurt them also because they turned there heads on this.

I spent ALOT at the Muskegon tourney this year! The net was the cheapest

They withdrew to prove a point. If a full fledged investigation is put into affect and they do turn up something, they are banned for life from all of the circuit tournaments. They had an observer onboard, apparently that wasn't good enough. There is also a shot at 1000 bucks for the person who turns someone in. Personally I think its a case of jealousy. Why risk their name and sponsors for a bull s*** complaint. Smart move regardless if they're "guilty" or not

And what point did they prove? That by withdrawing they avoided the investigation that could have banned them? The observer said they may have shook fish when he was questioned. The rule is in black and white, the ludington tourney board has no balls to see it through and inforce the rule.

The way I look at it is if they didnt do anything wrong, then why withdraw?

Give me a call Ed.

good job, i heard fishing was tough on sun.

We will also be fishing this tourney

hows the weeds out there Ed? We fished by Sputnik and did ok but had a mess of weeds. Making the run to the sisters on Wed.

run them on a 1.5 so i can put a high diver out on 3

This is what we do. But our high divers are wire also./

I have a G Loomis GL-3 9' 9" Steelhead rod for sale. Spring cleaning and some river stuff has to go. Also have a 8' 6" St. Croix med action rod for sale also. Pm me and I can send you some pics

We run all mini disc, with 6' 10lb leader. 80' back is about 18' down. Usually when i start in the morning I will stager them to see where the fish are active and adjust from there. I dont run inline boards on erie, just the big boards. Hope this helps you.

good job Tom. what did the water look like?

A coho also seems to spin the net into knots and leave alll there scales on the deck!!

must be skirting the line! Nice fish

Sounds like a great day! Area 51 is a hot spoon!

Nice:thumb:

Back by the riggers is good! I have moved mine from there to the dash and back to the stern and back to the dash, and now that you have brought it up i think im moving it back! I like it on the dash for when im driving i can control my down speed! But it is a pain in the ... when im trying to see the depth dropping the rigger down. So I think they need to make one that is wireless so i can have it on my wrist!

I ve got our bathroom to do to get me in good for the year, ordered the tile today and the new vanity
