I ordered the smaller one; approximately 12 inches in length. But I believe that they have all types of sizes, and colors available. I ordered a pair and he quoted me about 20 bucks. I haven't gotten the "official bill" yet though.

Nice job Rich, I'm sure this wasn't easy. Just about got the boat ready and the tent packed for the trip. Looking forward to meeting everyone at the campground/launch.

Chris

Seven and fourteen pounds approximately. A good friend got a couple 15 plus yesterday, and I've heard other reports of occasional good sized fish. I wish I could get out more, but I gotta pay the bills.

Chris

Yup, glad everyone is alright.

Three for four today out in 120 fow. Two kings, one steelie and lost one nice steelhead that got tangled in the line and finally came free. One king on a carmel dolphin on a rigger 55 down. Everything else on a half core loaded with a mixed veggie. A little slow, but I heard a lot of boats coming in with empty boxes. Good luck out there.

Chris

Congrats Caz!

My crew and I are coming down for the Dreamweaver challenge (ducking water balloons likely the whole way. I'm looking for info on where to bunk down the night before. Indoors, outdoors, no doors, doesn't matter. Thanks much.

Also, as we have never fished the area anyone willing to share any little pieces of experience would be greatly appreciated. Well, I had to ask didn't I?

Thanks all, looking forward to seeing you all down there.

Chris

Looks like a fishing boat to me. Very nice.

Avast ye, and arrrgghhhh and all that other stuff. I'm lmao:lol:. I'm thinking that we may have to go to the dark side on this. Fight fire with fire I always say. I may have to rig something up on my man o' war to do just that. A planer mast that doubles as a cannon may just do the trick. I guess I could always go back to the mask, fins and a hand drill. Be prepared;)!!! By the way, that water cannon in the video is AWESOME!!

Chris

Thanks captain for the warning. I'll have three other State Troopers on my boat with me, so we may have a surprise for you also. I'm sure I can fashion a brig out of something. :grin:

See you in Muskegon,

Chris

GLF, thanks much for the phone digits. I called them up and spoke to Terry and Rob and got some ordered. Very nice people, and great customer service.

Thanks again,

Chris

I believe you are likely correct. I went back and read my post and it read like I was angry and bashing them. I didn't mean to make it come off that way, and I apologize.

Chris

Maybe someone can help me out here. I've been wanting to get a couple Stinger decals for my boat for some time, but can't seem to find them. I emailed Stinger and never got a reply either way (kind of surprised me that they blew me off). Does anyone here know where I could pick some up, or are they only for pro-staff?

Thanks all,

Chris

P.S. There are no right or wrong answers.

Ok, just for fun here. There are three questions to follow. Answer them with the first thing that comes to your mind. No "well maybe", or "if I think about it". Has to be first in your mind. Maybe we'll learn something about ourselves.

1. Best lure (anything)

2. Favorite Port to fish (anywhere)

3. Favorite person to fish with (anyone)

Mine were Stinger NBK in stingray, Onekama and with my daughter.

Have fun,

Chris

Fished the barrel out of Onekama tonight and picked up one King on a half core with a NBK. Still pretty slow. It was nice having the trap net set right in my favorite spot to troll. Marked fish all around it, and no where else. Just brings a big happy smile to my face every time I see it out there.

Very slow. Can't say I'm not a little apprehensive about going out into a mine field of nets, marked and unmarked. Some kings have been showing up deeper. Browns were almost non-existent in my opinion. But as we all know it's early. I'm heading out this evening out of Onekama and I'll post if I catch anything.

Chris

Thanks PlumCrazy for posting the pic, and thanks all for the welcome.

Well the pic didn't work so you will just have to take my word on it.

17 Ft. Lund Fisherman "Slacker" run mostly out of Manistee and Onekama, but you often see us in Portage Lake. Rigged with 2 Big Jon Captain's Pak riggers, 2 Big Jon triple holders, Big Jon Mast and boards. And the best part my daughter on board ready to go fishing.
