  1. Finally got out for a night fish this year and would've done well but I've got to get more experienced fishing partners. Got 2 salmon into the box and probably should've had 4 more in.

    Silver Streak Black Screwball was hot on a dipsey set at 150 on #1. Boated one right away, lost one on it, then lost the lure (and fish) about 20' behind the boat when our retie pulled through.

    Lost one on NBK rigger at 75.

    Lost one on wonder bread rigger at 84.

    Lost my whole setup of echip flasher and green crinkle fly on dipsey at 180.

    Only other fish caught was later on flounder pounder dipsey at 150.

  2. After reading all the positive reports, was pretty excited about this morning. Well, ended up going 1 for 5 and fished from 6 a.m. until about 3:30. started at about 50 feet went out to 150, and back through 60 or so.

    Lost a decent one on a carmel dolphin 45 feet down in 60 foot of water. Lost a really large one that I thought was tired out and found out it wasn't when it charged straight at us and broke off on the far DR wire. About 80' of water free slider on a rigger set about 40 feet, or an orange monkey puke. Lost another on a full core with a lemon ice.

    Only boat landed was a decent king on a 7 color with an area 51.

    Sounded pretty slow for everyone else too.

  3. I guess you'd call it going 3 for 6, but since 2 of the boated fish were shakers........ Seemed pretty slow out there listening to the radio, and watching other boats not catch much.

    Things that worked, carmel dolphin on a free slider with rigger set at 70. Mongolian beef on rigger at 50. Orange double crush on 2 color.

    Lost a nice one right at the boat on NBK on rigger at 70. hooked up but never saw a screamer on 2 color double orange crush. Lost one half way back on green dolphin on 7 color.

    Overall, much nicer waves wise than predicted, and everything ran fine on the boat.

  4. Hi,

    I've been reading about the fishing getting hot around holland, grand haven etc. I see it's in 90-150' of water and was wondering about how far out that is in miles? I've got an 18' open plan lund but don't really want to go out too far.

    Thanks

  5. I haven't been able to make it down to St. Joe, so I was wondering if this saturday the 24th would still be good. Looks like it might have slowed a bit, but is it worth going there or would Port Sheldon, Grand Haven, Muskegon be better now?

    Thanks

  6. Thanks for all the replies. I was thinking of keeping the drive shorter for the first trip, but might have to think about St. Joe. My original thought was to go Whitehall, Montague and if the big lake is rough there's always perch.

  7. Just got a new boat (new to me at least), and haven't been on the big lake in years. I was wondering where to go? I know St. Joe and area are hot, but would rather only drive an hour (muskegon, GH, Whitehall) for the first trip. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Mike
