N II Deep

ok, I've been fishing now for the past 3 years so I don't have much history on how winter weather effect the next fishing season. Last season we seen the return of bigger fish here in West Michigan and still very good numbers, the previous winter was long, it started early November, stayed cold until March, lots of snow that stayed on the ground. we also saw Ice on Lake Michigan if I recall almost solid all the way across. (I really liked hauling in the bigger fish this past year) not this Holland web cam 2-5-2012 @ Noon (this looks like late April, I'm surprised I don't see Kevin trolling the beach today) I would like to hear what our seasoned fishermen think the up comming season will be like and why with our current winter (lack of) conditions.

yea, knee deep at best @ Duck Lake. just south of your camp ground will be the Snug Harbor launch.

It's a sickness. Enjoy

way to stay after the PM's boys, also anyone in the Holland / GR area that's looking to use an alignment bar let me know, Merc - Alpha I

Can't wait to make another trip back down to Mexico, thanks for mid winter pictures of soft water and great looking fish.

I have to go change my pants, Had the speakers up full blast. when I followed this link I first thought the badger was running me over...

Welcome to GLF Chris, Nice looking setup.

in the past I have just left them attached to flasher, but the lead becomes a mess. I'm going to try ziplock bags for now and removing them from the flashers. I like the swim noodle idea. I have seen guys use a arrow storage box, but seems a bit big and bulky, I have enough boxes in the way already

80' - Michigan side of pond

I run a 24 Fourwinns and used this launch last summer, it's tight, not a goto ramp for my size boat.

I'll be out of storage March 15th, plan to be ready for water 1st week in April. want to try the south end of the lake for some Ho's

Steve. I don't know of any right on the lake, but you want to be on the north side of the lake for a cabin. 20+ yrs ago there were a few places on the south side near the ovals. But the were more of monthly rentals.

I being a poor west Michigan hillbilly use a bungie cord

No. Muskegon to Holland

That mt dew was the setup that caught my life time biggest on my high diver-braid out of Muskegon last Aug 26+ Ken gave me one the day before .

here are my three hot ones

Welcome to the site, Ludington is one of my fav's. If I could have found work up that way I would live there.

I use the same knot, also add a bead. Acts as an autostop and keeps the swivel out of your rollers.

Here is Terry's secret. what every road kill he passes on the way to the ramp he picks it up, ties it to a dock line and drags it along the side of the boat. the fish go crazy over this... you should give it a try. what works best is Skunk. make sure to rub the dead critter all over yourself and the crew for best results before putting in the water.

N II Deep will be in.

sounds like fun.

Mine already is, I always have some clown running my stuff over... worlds largest 3 ring circus over three miles radius...

thanks for the pic's, hope you don't mind but the last one "winter" has become my desktop picture

Kyle, very nice setup it looks like you have solid glass on three sides and a soft curtian in the back. I plan on having curtians all the way around. looking in the gallery I want to do some thing similar to this also plan to add the following A 4 switch power box to control 2 LED floods to light up back of boat, LED deck light for under the top, a remote flood / spot for the front additional running lights red/green/white.
