    Left the slip @ 8:AM, ran south to Churchill downs, and trolled to the Cook Plant, we had a lot of shaker kings and some Coho, Kept 1 steelhead about 4 lbs. and 4 coho, all total we were 9 for about 12, stinger orange killer on 2 and 4 color, and bomber long A orange all accounted for fish. Thanks for coming along Jon Marvin and Andy (Darkmind) kinda wish we had left earlier after that wind came up. However a great day to be on the water and another learning experience. Tight lines and good luck Jon.

    c'mon down to St Joe this weekend Jon. The fish are starting to come back in. It was rough Sunday, not a lot of action. Today was solo and only able to run 3 rods but 1 hour 3 fish not bad.

    2.7 to 3.0 depending on conditions, if I want to have control of the speed I put out a 48" sea anchor. If I go for Lake Trout or Walleye I use 2 bags. My boat has twin 454 chevys and on 1 motor no bags it will troll about 2.6 into the wind. 'The bags give me a lot of ability to work speed up and down. With 2 bags out I can easily troll 1.0 mph

    Nice job Ed family fun and lots of good eating. Those coho are the steak of the lake.

    Welcome to the site Randall. you will find a lot of helpful information here, we do try to share our information on the website, not just advertise lures and Charter Boat catches.

    Drain Plug and life Jackets. I always have a check off list and I still come up short. Leader material, spare hooks and terminal tackle are always the last thing I think of and the first thing I come up short on.

    I troll 3.5 to 4.5 mph when targeting steelhead, 1 color of lead core and spoons off of a meatrig teaser rig are killer.

    Another thing you can do is go to the sponsors link, Great Lakes Tackle Shop, they offer 100, 150,200,250,300,350, 400, and 450 coppers all pre measured. Really inexpensive. I highly recommend that when you have a tackle problem, that u check them and the other commercial sponsors of this site.

    That has been my method. I have a walk a tape, and I lay out 50, 100, 150 200 and 250. Makes it really simple.

    Frank:

    Thanks for getting me the Toughbook, it is awesome. I will be using it as soon as I splash the boat.

    Over 60 years ago my Grandfather used a plastic radiant spoon, same finish that is used on watch numerals to illuminate them and caught big rainbow trout on leadcore trolling. That was on a Washington state lake named Waits Lake, and he used those 1" to 11/2" spoons to match the minnows available in the lake. They worked really well. We did not understand speeds much then but the little 5 horse Martin motor trolled just about perfectly on a flat bottom plywood boat that was heavy and really stable. I really think that speed will be critical with these large spoons, but are they much lighter than the cheap NorthPort nailers we used to troll>

    Frank PM me a phone number so we can talk about this unit. I am really interested and the GPS chart would really be nice to have.

    Church's Walleye boards will pull 300' of 45# copper very well, but for my 450's I run TX44's. Berts rodholders for the gunwales, buy a 24" track and add holders as finances allow, that is really the only drawback with Berts, they require the track.

    I thought you sold this one Frank or is it a different unit?

    I think this is a better Pic. of the 2014 array that really worked for us.

    Early spring St Joe is the place to be. As soon as Ice is out, the coho are there. From the river to The Cook plant stay inside of 40 FOW and work in and out. I usually go in tight and run a Brown Trout Pattern on the inside and coho stuff outside. U will usually find the Coho in the off color water, and above 15' in the water column.

    The discussion about The highways and maintenance of them in Michigan is kind of a moot point. For too many years Michigan has let the highways deteriorate, kind of like if we don' pay attention maybe it will just not happen. What is needed is not more tax, but use the taxes we pay for roads to do the maintenance. Bridges are dangerous and roads especially the freeways are in terrible shape after years of patching and makeshift repairs. On I94 in Van Buren count they just put in new median barriers, but the money could have been better spent repairing areas of highway that needed attention. As far as gas prices. After paying nearly $5 a gallon the last few seasons I am looking forward to some $3 gas at the Marina.
