I have been using 30#, 9 strand torpedo wire. Easy to tie, but it gets frays in it every once in a while that have to be cut out, but I just use a uni to uni knot to splice it back together.

The best thing about autopilot is that it allows you to focus on the fishing instead of the driving. Once you fish with autopilot you will never want to go without one.

Auto Pilot, hands down.

Did you really need ice in the cooler?

How about some pictures of the boat?

Welcome Adam.

I have found that a loose drag, letting the steelhead take all he wants until he tires out then slowly start tightening the drag bit by bit to bring him in works best for me.

If you run the antifreeze through the outdrive, do you still open the drainage petcocks on the motors to drain the block and stuff?

This time year would be best to buy, most sellers have given up.

I would think that a good boat policy would cover that, just like car insurance covers fender benders.

It is a nice boat, would be good for walleye too.

How about "Cheap Ho"

There are some nice fellows in the Ludington City Marina, I met Keith, the Captain of Lies A Lot and I think he would do a good job plus he is friendly and talkative.

Yeah, look what happened on Jurrassic Park when they engineered the Dinosaurs to be female!

Nice Laker!

How long will fish and other things last in the freezer vacuumed packed instead of just putting it in a freezer bag?

I thought that boat was for sale, thought I saw a sign on it.

Why aren't you out fishing?

I took my boat over to the Ludington City Marina today just to get the boat in the water before the winds got bad. Plan on going back over on Friday to stay on the boat through next Sunday, looking forward to seeing 15 foot waves!

Most lights are not much help for navigating after dark except for spotting pier heads and docks. Your gps, and radar are best used after dark. Keeping everything as dark as possible helps your night vision to see other boats running lights. I have spots mounted on the front of my boat, but for the reasons above. I also have flood lights mounted under the rear downrigger railing for out the back of the boat, I use these lights for after dark fishing. They light up the water and I can see the planer boards as well as the tips of my rods on the downriggers, but since the light is behind the boat it doesn't affect my night vision.

Good job Matt and Bob..

Looking for a good recipe for smoked salmon patties that don't have a lot of carbs. Going to smoke up my fish in the freezer before I head over to Ludington to fish between the 4th and 12th of September.

Thanks

Welcome, always nice to hear a new opinion.

I like the way he stores his tackle on the stern. Nice fishing area.
