Every problem is solved now, thanks Don.

I have a pair of Ice armor, currently have a pair of frog togs as rain gear. I was wondering what everyone else uses. I am leading at a pair of Grundens, there made for commercial fishing or Helly Hansen. I dont mind the the Togs but you get what ya pay for with 50$ bibs and they collect the smell.

Love my costa del mars rincons, going on the 3rd season"knocking on wood". No problems at all, from the end of the season, you will see how good they are when it's all still white where your lenses are.

I heard that GH public launch at is a launch at your own risk sign. I heard it would be hard to launch something bigger then 18

We run 150,225,300,450 of 45lb on both of our boats in Morgan's coppers, we have 7-5-3-2 colors of lead for running shallow. We like the stealth that lead core gives when your fishing shallow.

Thanks for the heads up!!! Ill let him know later in the week, he's rebuilding starboard side motor the first part of the week.

We're running the 10 meter and we added a 98 330 wellcraft costal for this year as renting it. Boss man is going to seriously push to find another 10 express for next year.

Great report!!!! Can't wait to our 10 meter splashed as well. Ready to go, to long of ole man winter around.

The hummingbird units are very easy to use also, i have used the 1197 and the 988 very easy to use with good customer service. I was playing around with the Raymarine C130 that is on the 2nd boat for us this year, this thing is nothing short of awesome.

Has anyone seen a comparison to the Cabelas Model?

Jim, Stinger makes that flasher, just thought I would add if you looking for another one."Crush Ice Super UV Chartreuse or Crush Ice Super UV Green"

I will still leave it open to anyone that wants some info on Grand Haven, shoot me a PM anytime or stop at the dock so see whats going on. I have never been shy on what and where I am going.

There's going to be a wolf pack of danel charter boats circleing the F/V fishsniffer. Hahahha. But yes should be a fun summer, I am very excited. It was a little hard to keep hush hush. Ken, we taking up the old it ill do slip, is you son still working with him in south haven

A lot of you guys see my post on here for the last 3-4 years, of trying to get a mate job, acutely getting one and posting reports of my time that I spend fishing with Craig Kent of Killin’ Time Charters in Manisee. Ed posted that I am now officially a USCG charter captain, I didn’t want to spread to many details with my new venture had some details that were up and not finalized yet; now I can ,I am now moving to Grand Haven to be part of Danel Sportfishing with Captain Dana Bonney of the 2nd boat at Chinook Pier. The boat its self is a 1998 330 wellcraft coastal, a very sweet ride for a 18 year old fresh captain. I am very eager to see if I can keep up with the big boys.

Great job Ed. Only days away till we hit the open water.

11inch flasher are something that put alot of fish in the boat, work well deep. These have been the best on the charter boats for the past couple years, Black with double slick glow with a Oceana fly, White on double slick glow with hypnotist, Pearl fishscale with oceana fly. Double Crush UV with Illusion fly. 8inchers Chrome Mtn dew with UV back. UV gator on chrome. Gator on chrome. Uv purple plaid White crush lead back. Green halo with crush glow back. Blue Halo with glow crush back.

We run all Rapture Trolling Flies customer teaser rigs, they sell them as individuals 3 rig packs or Michigan Stinger has combined with Rapture Trolling Flies to make a Stinger Meat rig.The Stinger meat rigs come with 3 teaser in 6 different colors," Red pepper, Yellow Fern, Hypnotist, Oceana, Blue Hypnotist and Illusion" a head to hold fish, 50 inches of 50 pound clear ande. We have personally help create these colors with Stinger to help put the top colors we feel out to the public. We like strips of herring and Ballyhoo, make sure your head is spinning 1-2 times a second. We fish them on anything when were fishing deeper then 60ft down.

That's some sticky stuff, you will have it all over if your not careful, great stuff though

Finishing my captains license, getting our 2nd boat around for the 2013 charter season, need to spool 2 450 coppers and 12 hrs of good washing and waxing and were ready
