That set ups going to be a King Killer

Spring we run a Bunch of 1-4 colors Benn. once the water heats up it's mostly 6-10 colors, BUT most often we'll keep at least one shorter color out for those high ones.

Look at the roller frames on the rod, I've got 2- 7' Taloras (Non-Swivel Tip). If you look at the roller frames they will have grooves cut into them from the wire, I replaced the roller tips last year with Twilli's because the frames where almost sawed threw. Now look at the frames of the rest of the rollers on the rods, they ALL will have some kind of "Groove" cut into them from where the wire rides most often, the grooves will vary a bit in depth but will be the deepest on where the rods bend the most, that is what is fraying your torpedo wire. If I can ever get these rods to Tony he will be replacing all the guides with Sic II guides, even the tip top.. ... He does Fantastic work and produces a quality product...

Don't always think of the lakers as being a deep water fish, early in the year they are up in the water colum, same thing at the end of the season. Steelhead fishing in Thunder Bay was great this past Oct. Lake Huron for the most part anymore is a Laker fishery "IF" your looking at going out and catching a bunch of fish. The high point for salmon are the Atlantic's, early in the season out of Detour the past few years have been nothing short of great fishing for them. Drop me a line if you ever want to drag your boat up in may to sample that fishing, should be able to help you out..

If your really interisted who is planting what, Where, and how many. here's the link to look it up.

Boat setup is a personal thing, look at the suggestion givin, look at the way YOU fish and go from there. The Track system is by far the best way to go because of this. The only thing our our boat that doesn't change thu out the year is our rigger setup. We run 3, 2 outdowns and a center rigger. Starting in the spring when everything is up high in the water collum we'll run 9 to 16 rods, Lots and LOTS of boards the more the maryer. In the Detour area we are trying to cover everything from the surface to 30 feet, and everything will take hits most days.

From Mid June to Mid Aug. we are back to running a 5 to 9 rod spread

From Mid. Aug to Season end we are back to flooding the water collum again for staging Kings, Steelhead and Lakers.

So Our suggestion to you would be:

1. Put as much of the track system on your boat you can afford.

2. Put as many "quality" rod holders in the track system as you think you might need and then add 4 to 6 more, one thing you can't have enought of are the holders.

I've heard very good things about the scottys, we are going to give them a run next season.

A #16 rubber band works Very VERY well for salmon, not so good for lakers, and the best part about the bands is they are very cheap. a 4pk of small S-hooks and a pk of the bands and your set for the season for under $4.

Bob The Michigan DNRE is Mandated to plant 300,000 plus fish thu the year 2013 so the tribe has the right to fish, Nuns Creek gets most of those.

There is one that was just posted for sale on the GLA board 1987

Sounds good, we should be heading that way to fish by Monday.. Thanks

Anybody catching any fish from Alpena North to Roger City ?? Lakers or salmon will do

Drop me a line when your going to be coming up John, things change from spring to summer to fall.

Drop me a email or PM and I'll point you in the right direction

The Vectors will be available again around January, So the folks at TraxTech have told me. Pulpfishin, where you getting the information on the "Build" per order thing ? I've talked to them a couple time and there was no mention of that..

Make 2 of the 47's wire and 2 braid if you don;'t have that yet

If you have a boat hit Detour, thicker than fleas right now. just a matter of time before they show up in the soo full force. I would think you can catch them from the wall behind the powerhouse, ya just need to keep a real close eye on the kids running back and forth on it trying to snag fish they see

Somethings doesn't sound right, at the very least the Boat shop owner should take you out in it . Would you buy a used car without driving it ??

Pull the registion number off the boat, you should be able to find the owner with it

Very VERY Nice !!

If your buying pre made riggs they should be set up for you already. For the most part 2 fly twinkie rig length from the front swivel to the bottom of the hook you are looking at around 36"to 40". 3 fly add a foot.

If your just running the head with no teasers, it's pretty much what the fish want, start at about 3 feet and go longer from there. we have had moderate secess running a head 5 or 6 feet be hind a dipsey, no flasher..

Thanks Dave..

Run them the same as you would a spoon Bob, the glows, Ladder backs and the wonderbread jointed have all woked for us done there, we also have a pink/Grey?whit glow thats produced very well in the past.. we don't put them on the riggers until mid Aug. dosen't mean they won't work now

Did anybody say Meat Riggs

It doesn't look like it. there are a couple strains by the looks of thing, most of the fish have some good color inside, some are a bit pale but not bad, leaning on the yellow side.. and the eater size are not greasy at all. I'm not a big Lake Trout fan unless it's smoked no matter what they are..But, Most of the clients like them.. Good thing for us
