From what i recall the freezer last year was shot(bad seal) so i cant imagine anyone stealing it. No one at 4pm yesterday on a flat sunny day. If no one is manning the gate/ cleaning station then i say no pay. Maybe i need to start a personal sound off thread:p

Fishwhisperer and my cousin Shaun joined me for a gorgeous, dry, flat day on the lake. Ended 7 for 8 with 4 lakers and 3 kings. 95-110 fow was best. Rigger on bottom with cowbells and spin n glo took 2. 250’ 45# copper with Stinger Nitro ET took 2. Full core with Stinger Glow Ghost took 1. Tin can with No See Um took 2 on wire diver out 225 on 2. Speed on GPS 2.7-3.1 was tops. Flies were nasty for a bit. Cousin drove from Bay City and glad we could get him out and into some fishies!

For $7 a launch they need to figure out some way to leave it accessible to us. Maybe just start cleaning them and leaving remains in front of their hut. I always thought the expensive launch should include the use of the cleaning station. The unpredictability irritates me!

Nice job Justin. Classic South Haven launch fiasco. We cleaned em on the tailgate there Thurs night. There annual pass fiasco has been a joke this year too. I think they just finally got it fixed, yeah its mid June. Glad ya guys got some fishies:grin:

Nice job! I woulda been happy with that!

Fishwhisperer and I ended 5 for 9 for the evening. Fished 85fow -135fow. Picked up fish at 3 around 100, 1 at 112 and 1 at 125’. All fish came off one rigger set down 50 with a Miami Dolphin (2), Craigs Christmas slider (1) and then a MS Mongolian Beef (2) at dusk. Missed fish on Blue Chilly Willy slider down 55, Diver with tin can out 160 on wire, and 225’ copper with blue dolphin. Temps ranged 58-64 deg. Beautiful day but slow fishing. Only one other boat out.

most fish were empty in holland. Although a couple fish had bait in them. The fish in ludington have been full. We pulled 10 alwives out of a fish not to long ago.

I have found the same btw south haven empty and lud full. Lots of dead floating alewives up in Lud last weekend.

Nice Jarrod.

Wow nioce job Phil! U guys smoked em!

Nice job! I cant wait to get home and get back out there. Looks like your trend is continuing from last fall.

Saw a guy at launch that recognized the boat and said he fished alot with u out of it.

Nice job! The wind really picked up around 930-10. It was worse out deeper. We pulled too, dont like whitecaps. Thanks for the report.

Nice catch Scott. Thanks for the report.

Well done. Thanks for the report

Fishwhisperer and I headed out this morn. Ended 7 for 8. 6 Kings and a laker. Fished 630 til 10 when we got blown off with some nice whitecaps out in 190 fow. Wet ride in. Set in 85fow and turned NW til we pulled. Sexy Shad, Mixed Veggie, Green Flounder Pounder spoons were best on 250, 300' copper. Wire diver out 180 took 2. One on full core. Biggest fish was 14#.

stinger early year , higher lines, or as a slider. stingrays get alot of use

Im planning a trip on the Inland Waterway that goes from Cheboygan through Mullet and Burt Lake. We are planning to camp out. We r looking at August 12-15. Thinking staying 2 nights at each,.Anyone ever make this trip? Outboard boat races will be that weekend up there too. Thoughts or tips???? Never been there

Green Flounder Pounder (took 3 Sat.), Mongolian Beef, Happee Meal on deep copper

Bloody Nose, Agent Orange on higher core

I have had great luck on the 1 oz spoons too

More or less they all work darn good and all day.

Mmmmmm.... Got some kings in the brine as we speak. Pics... we need pics!!

Went 9 for 12. 7 kings and 2 lakers. Launched about 630 and set down in 35fow. Headed west out to 140fow. 110-135 was best.

200', 250', 300' 45# copper all took hits. Full core. Rigger down 65 with green/orange ProKing Mag took 2. MS Green Flounder Pounder took 3 on 300 copper. Wire dipsy out 180 with a Mag Mixed Veggie took 2. 3 color with a Stinger Spring Chicken took 1(Picked by our 1st time on Big Lake guy).

All nice fish. Awesome day and we got Cody, 12 yr old, into his first venture at salmon.

Sweet ! Congrats on the box buddy. Well done sir! All in fairly shallow?

I use the reg flouro as a leader but it seems the "leader" material is a little bit harder. I havent fished enough to see a difference in production/durability. Just my .02
