Slide divers in my oppion are the most versitle and put more fish in my boat when I am fishing water less than 80 feet of water, and they only diver I use on lake Erie. One thing to remember when fishing clean skinny water is the cone of Disturbance caused from your boat, that will push fish out to the side and then return back to center after you pass by, Thats why Slide divers work so well because of the long leads you can run, I run an average 50 feet lead from my lowest slide diver, and some times up to 100 on the high diver that is killer for steelhead. You can run a slide diver on a 6 setting and the diver will track true, one thing that is not possiable with a fixed diver unless you run a 30 feet lead, the distance from the diver to the bait act as a rutter I like to run a 4oz weight on the lowe diver, and standard 3oz weight on the high diver, and in Lake Erie I run the 2oz weight. I have worked with Slide Diver since there conception, and help with the development of the Lite bite feel free to contact me for an arsnal of tactics that can be applied running Slide divers.

Anything Michigan can do to get more money from us is more for their slush funds, like 250 dollars permit to launch from a DNR launch ramp on rivers for steelhead trips.

Last time I got the Itch it was in the Phillipeans, and had to get a shot.

Big Jon, is the Penical of customer service, I wish they all were like them.

I agree on the winds, Lake Erie is not wind friendly. Hopefully the economy don't put alot of us out of business, it's definetly a whole lot different ball game know that I am a full time Captain.

How does 2010 look for our charter feet? So far I am staying positive? How about the rest of you.

Mike, I added the GLF link to my links page to no prevail, can not get it to work.

They told me North America is fine? or could they be just telling me what I wanted to hear? They are still putting new stuff on the Market so my feeling is they are going to be around, in my oppion.

I know what you mean Mike? Every decisison has to have the return of investment know? I am going to invest in a 32 foot center counsel kid-nap all them fools and run 50 mph, and hope fully they get hit by at least 100 of them damn things!!

From what I understand that Ramarine Europe is in bad shape, and is up for sale, so I called them since all my electronics are raymarine.

I have the x-10 core pack with the st-8002 head unit, this is the best money I have spent yet, I purchased online in febuary 2009 for $1800 from a Marina in florida. The only thing I did different is I replaced the original Hydraulic hose to a higher PSI burst rate hose beacuse I exstended my rutters.

Welcome, I have always wanted to fish the St.Mary's & Detour for those Atlantic's.

I have Freemont Insurance, and I purchased the rider for my engines, and transmissions, and last year I smoked my starboard engine, and the adjuster was a complete TOOL!!!!. He was at the Marina for 5 min's, and denied my claim? said there was water in the oil? the battle still continues till know. They are definetly cheaper? all I can say is if you have a claim tell them that you hit somthing.

I am glad to aboard. My name is Capt.Rob Presson, and I operate my charter boat from the Ports of Muskegon MI, and Monroe MI. I have been a liscensed Captain for 6 years.

I like to run a 8 inch becholds flasher with about a 4-5 foot lead to a clean spoon deep? favorite color is blue spinny, and blue ice glow Nort Port Nailer spoon #44.

Dubro makes the shock absorbers you are talking about I use, and they work well.
