SUPERTRAMP

Ok now I gotta do the research

The dog finally got to feel like the rest of us Humans, the skunk really stinks. Nice job on the WMFL catch.

Nice job for a tough time of the summer.

I have big jons on the boat and the riggers have the standard Walker rod holders. You get what u pay for in rod holders. Like most other equipment cheap will get u by until one breaks then u are out a rod reel line and whatever hardware u are fishing if it is a dipsy and say a flasher fly that adds up to 35 or more depending on what u use. Rod and reel who knows at least 75 to 80 bucks. Check out some of the pricing on rod holders on line u will find some great buys on E-bay and at some of the sponsoring companies here.

What valley are you associated with, i am in the valley of grand rapids anchor lodge 22 f&am.

It was tough Saturday, but worse Sunday. Monday we tried perch but got blown off when the big storm hit. Nice job on the big king Dan.

I second the rather have sea fleas than the darned cotton. Takes forever to get any thing with a braid in and clean it up.

Great info and welcome to the site.

mighty tasty lookin filets there Scott.

Nice job for a tough time of the summer.

Nice video, great way to break in a new guy.

Nice job Jim.

Good job gettin a newbie hookied.

Never tried mono, to braid, to attach the lead core, I have used the willis and used a sail needle to thread the braid it takes a couple of minutes and you can only get about 2 1/2 inches of braid into the core sheath but I have never had one pull apart and I second the 30#. Because braid is super slick the superglue drop is a must. If you use the mono section be careful with superglue on the mono. 1 big advantage of the willis over other knots is the size of the knot itself. The albright can be quite large and can hang in tip top guides. I do use the albright to attach my backer and leader to Copper, however I just have larger diameter tip top guides on the copper Rods.

Really good job Terry my partner got the first skunk of 2010 on Sunday. Not a bump all morning.

Now that is a tank.

Very Nice job Allan. Looks like the June slow down hasn't gotten to Muskegon yet. Welcome to the site and look forward to more reports like this one.

Nice job Terry good talking to you on the water didn't realize that we could talk fm that range.

Nice job Todd.

We left the pier heads at 6:25, ran NW to 90 and started setting lines had 3 riggers set and the short port rigger went off about a 4# Coho on a fishlander green all glow set @64', got the riggers set and had 1 300 copper set and was setting the other copper when the 300 went moonglow flounderpounder, nice steelhead, next was a lake trout 124 down on the rigger green 11" paddle sigs rig blue dolphin fly. All of the hits were fm 100 to 114 FOW. Trolled until noon all the way out to 200 and nothing got back in to 106 and the 4 color went nice 5# king bringing in the 7 color and had a shaker king on it. Ended the day 5 for 5 but nothing like last week. Still a great morning on the water if you dont mind a little cotton wood on your lines.

Nice trout.

I run both copper and cores. The copper will get you a lot more depth with the same amount of line, not so much crankin on the copper but it is really heavy and unless the fish is large you dont get much fight until ;you get close to the leader. The full cores let me have a higher set than the copper and then I go to short cores. My coppers are 300 ft of 45#, with 50 ft of 20# fluoro carbon leader.

Happy B'day.

I second the fogged up windshields. RainX does help, they make a product that reduces the condensation sticking to the glass. I put it on and then I keep a Micro fibre rag handy for the glass inside the cabin.

Nice job Todd. I was in S.Haven Wed PM didn't fish but the reports were that it was slowing down a little. Looks like you had a very good day even if it is slowing for the June lull.
