Mike I received the net holder in yesterday's mail. Will have a writeup by next monday.

Sweet! Some nice eating as well:D

Congradulations!!! The family at Great lakes fisherman just got bigger:D

Still slow in Fairport. Friend said it took 6 hrs of fishing for an 18 pounder. That was the only fish landed.

I had to hard reset mine when I initially set mine up out of the box this spring, but it's been fine since. Might be worth pulling off the boat to see if it makes a difference. Heat isn't an issue in the UP right now:(

Oops I just went to Big Jons website.....didn't realize they had a captains pak electrics:p.

If you run downriggers off the tracks I would use a metal backer. If you are just using it for pole holders then plywood backer would be sufficient.

Not sure, but the Brutes are rated for 20 pounds plus and the captains pak's are just like the Brutes without the electrical motors. Maybe shoot an email off to Big Jon to be sure. I can't see a problem other then having to reel those big weights up manually.

Pm sent. I just read the sticky, so that answers my questions Mike.

Nice report! Should only get better as the summer progresses. Does anyone have dates of the tournaments at Dick's this summer?

I have a 16ft polar craft that I fish out of when I don't use the big boat:D

Mike if you haven't found the 3rd person yet....I would be interested.

Nice catch Josh! We have nothing left but lakers in munising bay:mad: I think we are going to try Fairport this weekend. No good report from there yet but they have to turn on some time and i want to be there when they do!!

Nice catch! Keep me posted about Fairport eh!

That is a sweet boat! Congrats on your new family toy:D

Some of the movie critics are beating this movie up. I liked the first one, so I will check this one out as well. Probobly wait till its on dvd though:D

Get down to Fairport its a magical place even when you don't catch fish and thats hard to do in Fairport:D

I bought the Chamberlains and love them.

Looks like fun! I just got back friday myself from a week in Ontario fishing.

Welcome to Great lakes fisherman:D

Wish I could give you some good advice! How have you made out?

Great pics!

Welcome aboard Josh:D

Congrats Josh! I really think you will like your new Big Jon's. I have 2 manual one cranks myself and really love them....not as much as my electrics though;) Great story as that probobly made Bromley's job picking the winner easier:D

Good job Steph! This moring would have been awesome to be on the water! Did you see the bay this morning? Just like Pee on a plate!lol

Hmm I wonder if its just local? By that I mean your local providers?
