Way to go guys. way to put em' in the boat hunter.

I have had good success with the wire so far, just might have to switch rods. but definetly love the way the wire feels with a big king ripping the other end :D:D.

good job looks like your getting dialed in for the tourny.

Nice job guys way to put the fish in the boat. hopefully muskegon heats up like that.

I may have to switch rods eventually i think. But for now i am stuck running these due to funds ( same as everyone ). what was the cost of the rods you run?

Thanks guys for the atta boy. best part I remembered to loosen the drag on the wire dipsey's " before" pulling the rod out.:lol:. On one other note with the wire, (19 strand) have had to now strip about 300 ft off one rod due to getting caught next to the roller, and also last night had it actually some how get wound in the reel where the spool meets the case.... Not sure why? but after half hour of fixing it was able to run again withoout a problem.

woops sorry wrong mark!!!

very nice Mark, way to go on the catch. Nice to meet you at the launch in muskegon last sat.

Nice job guys. I wish i could put 'em in boat like that i can only muster 3 at a time so far.

Well went out last night was setting lines at 5:00 and went 3 for 3, set-up in 40 fow started sw troll toward nets. First one went in 80 fow wire dipsy set on 1.5 back 70 running a stinger e-chip bull frog super glow with a moonshine glow spoon, nice king around 17 lbs. Next one went in 90 fow on a wire dipsey set on 2 back 80 running a solid glow flasher with a stinger glow spoon.( have no idea the name) small laker 4lbs went back. Last one was on the rigger down 50 in 80 fow on a magnum green dolphin, Another nice king 15lbs. lake was flat all night came in around 10:00pm.

Sweet boat, looks like you took the time and set things up very nicely. now how can i get my fiancee' to buy me one....

I would also love to have a few stickers. it would be nice to know who's out there if you don't know them but would see the sticker..

Yea same here. I was going to get the convectors but did'nt i also have the blue diamonds.

Hey Mike, I have now run the 19 strand twice, It seems very good as far as the way it cuts through the water. I was running dipseys on 1.5 and running them 70 back when i came in to 44 fow I hit bottom.!! those are what i was running the other night when I forgot to loosen the drag! . The only thing i have notice is that the okuma rods that i got with rollers is that if i dont keep it directly at the dipsey ( fish) it will pinch between the rollers. have had to cut off 90 foot of wire already. Thats my 2 cents. anyway.

4:45 am at fishermans landing. might try to go tonight if the fog will lift a little.

I would like to meet up, have to see. I hoping to be at the dock by 4:45.

Well atleast we'll be in the same circle of great fisherman.. the skunk circle.

well I guess i will know where to find you sat. morning...

Wow there was some trash tuesday but not that bad, were you run flashers with your spoons on riggers? Did you find the nets? I forgot the Gps again for the coordinates..

That's why this site is so great, You Guys are willing to help make sure the other guy is all set and ready the day before the tourney.... Thanks Guys.

Yeah now hopefully i dont forget to loosen the drag sat. But I'm sure you guys would be ok with that....:grin:

They were between the filtration plant and mona lake, I beleive. I trolled out to the south west and ran into them. maybe a mile south in 80 fow. I wish i had remembered to grab the Gps, would make things easier.

Well decided to go out and try a couple new set ups, Fished from 4 pm until 9 pm with only one taker at 8:30. Hit on the new wire diver pole 60 back in 80 fow, never got to fight the fish, because I failed to remember that I need to loosen the drag before pulling the rod out of the holder!!!! whoops darn it.

All in all was a bueatiful night to ride and get the set-up figured out and build my confidence in my set-up. see you guys saturday.

I was out last night and found a set of nets just south of muskegon, In 80 fow. I have the GPS coordinates but forgot to get it off the boat. will try and update with the coordinates. They seem to be marked well.

thanks for asking that question Don. I have often wondered the same thing but can't always remember to ask questions like this one, until i'm on the boat wondering???? Man i need to work less and fish more so that i'm only thinking of fishing.. ha ha
