  1. Thanks. Which one is used for the mono backing and then the powerpro? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  2. All I have is 2 dipsies. There is mono on the reels right now. But it needs changed so I was going to put braid on them. But I cant find the website for calculating how much backing I would need. I would like to leave the mono on that's on them. Just don't know how much to take off.

  3. Just dipsies with rings on. The water is always clear. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  4. Suffix 832 braid or powerpro braid for my dipsey rods? Also powerpro has it in the color marine blue is that any good or should stick with green? 30# or 50#? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  5. So do you think herring is better than alewife? And if straight herring oil would be better than procure that has more in it like amino acids and bite stimulants? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  6. What scent/attractant do you guys like? Herring or alewife? Or something different. And what brand. This would be to put on spoons or to enhance meat rigs using big weenie brand artificial herring strips. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  7. How do I get some freshwater anodes to put on my spoons for salmon? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  8. I forgot to say. It just started happening the last couple years. Maybe it's just me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  9. I think my boat is repelling fish. It's an i/o. Starcraft islander. How could you help with my boat. It's not in the water this year. But probably will be next. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  10. I have a 1995 22ft starcraft islander I/O now. I'm think of going to a 2000 bayliner trophy 2002 120hp outboard. What should I be looking for when I go and look at it? So I'm not buying trouble. Does the trophy ride well? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  11. There are 2 launches in Detour. One west of town and one in town. You would fish for salmon to the south out by the lighthouse. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  12. I'm 3hrs from manistee. I use to net them with smelt nets in lake charlevoix when they came in to spawn. But haven't seen them in more than 15 years. Right now if wanted any kind of bait for meat rigs I would have to order online. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  13. I have never seen them up here in the north. The water never turns over. I'm 2 hours from Frankfort. And that would be the closest I think I could find them. But with no connections for when the alewives are in its pointless for me to drive that far just to check. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  14. How are you guys getting alewives? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  15. I talked to a for biologist the other day about the Cisco's. He said they haven't planted any yet. But it is in the works. They already have them at the Jordan river hatchery and the tribe has some. So all the Cisco's now in grand traverse bay all the way to and including little traverse bay are all natural fish.
  16. These are photos I took out of Michigan out door news. The dnr says they want long salmon to stay because they are the ones that keep the alewife in check. But they are still planting over 1,000,000 lake trout as a "secondary fishery". That's bull. They need to plant less lake trout. Plus the article said they won't be planting as many king salmon in the northern part of the lake where I fish because they are having better natural reproduction than in the south. And that bull. I caught 4 salmon all summer out of charlevoix. But you could fill your cooler with lake trout. I hate lake trout. Plus we are catching Cisco with stomachs full of alewives.

  17. It's not good for the lake or Michigan's economy. I just won't be fishing lake Michigan anymore for kings unless they come back. Why would I,when I can go to lake huron and possibly catch 5 or more species of fish in a single outing. Might not catch very many but more than lake Michigan Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  18. But michigan is taking more Lakers to plant. Which is stupid. No one wants them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  19. Must be nice to have such good fishing on the Wisconsin side of the lake. I think I'm selling my salmon boat because it was so bad salmon fishing on the Michigan side where I fish. To many dang lake trout. And our dnr isn't going to cut back on laker plants but cut more salmon again this year. I actually caught more kings on Lake Huron last year than on Lake Michigan.

  20. The other fatality was the one in otsego county on big bear lake. Terry Weber's death was in montmorency-county. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  21. Stay off northern michgan lakes. They are not safe. There were fatalities this weekend and another was rescued out of a Crawford County lake. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1409782092368303&id=112747762071749 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  22. Thanks guys. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  23. Who would I get to check the stringers? I know nothing about fiberglass boats. I probably won't get it anyway. Was also thinking of going to a little bit smaller boat than the islander so it would be a walleye and salmon boat. But the only used ones that I can find that are 19-20ft are lunds.

  24. Ok thanks.I have never seen one on the water that I remember. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  25. This one has an outboard. This one is 23ft. And is a 96. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
