  1. Check out Dive Bombs from Michigan Stinger, there a planning weight that gives you about 7-9 feet of dept per oz. I run the half way down the line, 5 colors dive bomb goes 2.5 colors down. Its a very cheap way to get deeper without spending a ton of money. There is sizes from 1oz to 12oz. Check them out!http://www.mistinger.com/dive-bombs
  2. Fished Saturday, 120 to 170 it was pretty darn good. I think we had 50 plus bites, kings, hos, trout
  3. Some charters in the off peak time will run specials, usually week day nights for a shorter period of time. Talk to charter capt, if your looking to do that in Manistee, Pm me i know a guy that could help you
  4. The shortest ill go is 10ft on my wire divers. If you don't want to run longer leaders for divers go slide divers. I'm going to run slide divers on my wires this year so I don't have that problem. I'm usually don't have any help when im running the back deck.
  5. Meat,meat,meat and meat after the sun comes up when there's big kings around
  6. Thanks a bunch Gred, always like to hear from guys that have went a did it. I still have time to think it out and plan the classes. I will send all of the captains/ ex captains a PM when it gets close to the time i get it so i can be just a little more educated going in.
  7. I hope to follow as Josh did, have to see what this holds as i start school in the fall and see if its possible with the classes i take in the fall. I really enjoy the whole charter thing, the day i stop enjoying it, ill start a new obsession. I did kind of have it set in my mind what i was going to do and i just wanted to see of it was the best outlook. So ill fish this summer and look into the captain classes in the fall when im going to school. That you all for the 2 cents that you all contributed.
  8. Its probably just going to be a pipe dream, I will probably end up just first mating for the rest of my schooling, try to get a job, buy a boat, fish 10 times a year until i retire lol
  9. I'm not looking at it to be a full time thing right now, i have some leads on running other peoples boat. I still have 5 summers off untill i should be done with college, iv talked with numerous charters capts about the money side of it trust me, i have done my homework
  10. I am turning 18 in the fall this year, as some of you know I grew up fishing lake Michigan and I first mate on a boat in Manistee. I have my hours done for my time. You think it would be worth the money to get it or not? I Plan in going to college?
  11. I run them ALOT, run them both with mono and braid , run a 50ft of 40lb mono for a leader for a diver. The mono holds the diver in place alot better.
  12. Yupp with everyone, put the deepest rod down the chute, I usually always have a rod down the chute. It's not to bad at all just weave it threw if it goes that way. Not hard at all
  13. Don when you gonna sell them to and combine the the two twenty footers to a 40?
  14. We got 6-8 of this white stuff in the last 24hrs
  15. Hey, wheres all your white crap in the background.
  16. Oh i really like small shows to, we got a set of net bungys at the mason show. Great product, could use better material. Used them all last year with great success, alot better than the old clip in net. I was debating on going to the Birch run show, with gas 3.99, ill wait and save it for GR where i can get in free
  17. Well if we can't go fishing, we can atleast add a tip or two for the season comming up. Great vid!!!!
  18. Big jon 3 or 4 tree, you can take them of the boat if you want and can turn them every 90 degrees. the rod holders them self are also adjustable. Check out Tony at lord of the riggers, im sure he can set you up very nice.
  19. 11inch White protroll with crush tape with rapture oceana 11inch Black with Slick glow tape with rapture Oceana is always HOT! 8inch Stinger prochip flashers in Super frog, NBK, yellow killer with Rapture hypnotist. 8inch Stinger prochip flasher in Blue killer with Rapture Blue Hypnotist 8inch Stinger prochip flasher in blue edge with Rapture Last supper
  20. We alot of meet on the charter boat from june threw sept, 11inchers a little bit slower, most of the time its between 1.7 and 2. Depending on the situation, if meats flying, every rod gets meet, if there hitting, spoons, flies and meat, usually just low divers and a chute rigger get a meat rig.
  21. Nope not at all, i worry about the sunlight more then dive bombs tarring up core
