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.

There is a 10M for sale in my home port. No stripe like the Meter you guys have already. He's asking 31k, but I know you can get it cheaper than that. If he's interested tell him to e-mail me and I will get him details. It's for sale on another forum, and the listing is very vague. However, the boat itself is in good shape.

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.

So you found another meter? Nice!

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?

These are my go to set ups, the green echip is a custom tape job.

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.

congrats matt..hope your mate can real in boards fast..(insert jaws music here).kidding of course

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.

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.

I've used 3M 5200 in the past to fill holes in the transom. Works pretty good, hasn't failed yet.

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

I know captain Mike Harvey and captain Jason Coslow will be there doing seminars and answering questions

Need some details to become finalized first before I can share what is going for this year.

Ya shoot me a pm anytime, then we can go from there.

Thanks for kind works and encouragement. A life long goal of mine is finally compleat.

Good show, caught up with some old friends, I was working the fish on booth Saturday. Nice to get out of the house and talk some fishin'

Anything is possible with sliders, we run 12ft leaders on our sliders. We have a leaders man with all riggers so its not really a problem controlling the fish. 6-7 ft is norm for sliders

bow between the riggers is my motto:thumb:

For some ungodly reason I dont know why they dont let charter boats carry flare guns :lol:

charter boats .. if there not making fish or putting some in the box... they wont be there long..

But don't follow to close lol )
