Scooter clips for me. Basically a snap coated in rubber with a slit cut in it. I liked fixed so it can be removed instead of getting stuck on net. Im all about fixed. Just as easy and know its repeatable. My .02:)

No excuse for this happening..

Has any one else noticed that the last 7 pier parkings were enclosed cabins and low lught and fog.

I wonder if its a glar issue on the wi.dshields from interior lights.

i do not have a wind shield and can see the dark section of the pier at night with no problem.

I got to see a aluminum cabin boat almost clear up & over the south pier between the light and shore. I just have a hard time comprehending something like this

Good Point Steve. Every pick of boats on piers seem to be hardtop fiberglass. I guess if ur gonna park there ya wanna be comfy!!!

Sweet. Karma shall return

Scott Neveau is their neighbor i believe. He is a good buddy of mine. Im from BC originally. Grew up fishing that lagoon. Sounded familiar. Tight lines!!

Nice Boat. U dont happen to live in the lagoon at the mouth of the Kawkawlin do U?

Nice catch. I would check ur guides by running a cotton swab around the inside of them. It will show any cuts or gouges by grabbing the cotton. just my 2 cents!

Finally got a chance to fish and its not windy. Fishwhisperer and my buddy Bird joined me and set lines around 830 ended around 130. Ended up 19 for 21. 13 Kings and 6 Ho's. 165-170fow was the best. NW troll by far best. 300' Copper with MS Blue Smolt was HOT. 400' copper, riggers down 80-100 with Chrome Frog SD w/ Mtn. Dew took a bunch, Wire divers out 250' with Mag dipsy and Grn Spinnies. Couple doubles and a few nice tangles. Lots of nice chunky kings. Couldn't buy fish number 15 so we pulled and had 5 Ho's on. :lol:Had a great morning with good buddies!

3rd that.

Rarely- South Haven

Yes- Manistee

Seems to work better up north for me. Haven't ran much down south.

1.8-2.2 GPS. I adjust for current and upwind vs. downwind.

So this might be good when dropping trash cans and wobbles at these slower speeds.

Kinks in wire... not good. It's a weak spot and eventually it will fail there. I spool up with 1000' and have always just cut back where the kinks are. Last summer I lost like 2 or 3 entire dipsy setups and finally decided to ditch that wire and respool. The old stuff had lots of kinks and always curly cued up at the end. Another thing to avoid kinks is always have the line tight. I put a bead before the swivel and also reel it in all the way to the tip always--when a fish is coming in, or when I'm storing the rod too.

Great points. I add a 3" piece of surgical tubing or old snubber between the bead and swivel so I can reel it up tight without too much pressure on tip. Wire is expensive but I know a mag dipsy, snubber, leader, flasher and meat rig with teasers cost us about $70 when it broke at a kink. Thats alot of wire!

What a great day of fishing without much catching! Ended 2 for 2 both brownies. Fished south all the way to Thunder Mtn. Ugly Coyote Spoon on rigger and a gold Rapala floater took fish. Fished 7-11fow mostly. Speed 2.2.

Felt great to get on the water with the boys and have fun on a gorgeous June....Ii mean March day!

Nice catch!

I used for a bit last year. They pulled fine but the bend is wrong and i ended up breaking tips easily. Too fast of an action for wire for me.

White Nuclear was great last year

Congrats Silver One, Its about time u pulled the trigger!

I have a heavy one 13 or 14# that we use for lakers and really deep. Works good but its a killer on my manuals with no clutch:eek:

Sounds great to me. I might be slightly limited as the old lady is due June 3rd. Im sure i will be able to escape sometime. Just saw post. I agree with 2 Unreel as well.

i use the DOT tape too. i used just the silver part. Works well for me.

Didnt keep track of percentage but I had a great year as we normally fish only 2 guys. 2 kings over 20# landed on my boat. Didnt get to fish after Sept 1st due to school. 1st trip of the year was a 10 fish limit in March and last trip was 12 fish with 2 release for 2 man limit Sept.1st.

Fished 4 ports (SH, St Joe, Lud, Manistee)this year and limited out 3 of 4 the 1st trip!

Great year and new boat is a fishing machine for a 17 footer.

I have fished SH many times but never saw the entrance from LAKE HURON! That's a long trip!!!!

depending on what ur looking for. Are they double, trip, quads? Track or permanent? I dont believe the are adjustable or swivel. If mine didnt swivel they would grab docks bad. Just food for thought. 2 trees for $150 does sound nice too!!

Thanks for the report. Nice catch!

What a yahoo. Even going slow he cant figure out whats goin on.

I think i get just as upset at non fishermen as well. Just no commonsense/respect. So whats the penalty if i buy a paintball gun and put it to use?

Don ur a Manimal! Keep up the slayin buddy! Nice job, must be easy fishin up there !

Nice catch. Some hogs in there!
