I was going to sudgest an octopus but I see that has been recommended already. I installed one and it was easy and works well.

Thanks Long Lines Ill take a look. I did find some fishing apps out on the Apple store.

Priority, how do you tie a GPS to the PC?

Does anyone use an APP for logging fish and trips? If so what's the best one to use?

I bought this out on ebay. It worked great for leadcore and copper

Fish cleaning knife

Rascal, when you say offshore, what is considered offshore? 45's 50's? It seemd that this year everyone was running "offshore" to catch fish. I usually hang out on the bank or run south to the projects.

Good Luck Todd. Ill be splashing mine in a few weeks in Ludington

I ran them last year with twill tips for wire divers. They worked great

Does anyone know of any good reading material on understanding the currents and temperature? Fishing is always different every day and wind, temp and currents all play a role in that. I picked up Keating on Kings and it was a real good read. Any other suggestions?

Because I now have two of them. The new boat I bought had one on it

I used this one season on my old boat. Includes the probe, display, power and antenna cords. You will need to get new coated downrigger cable. Paid $550 new, selling for $400.

I use the fle flicker and it does work. I tie about a 25 foot flouracarbon leader.

Thanks for all the feedback lats week. Hot sppons for me were happy meal and mongolian beef down 60 - 75 and meet rigs out 95-100 on wire divers. We landed 25 fish this week, but missed about the same amount

Todd, thanks for the reports last week. Heading back Tuesday for the week

Blue dolphin, blue alwife for non glo - Happy meal has been hot all day this year on the riggers

What radio channel are you guys usually on in Ludington?

Was out last Friday in the morning. 4 for 8 north of the point in 120 - 170 FOW. Had a nice king 25.5lbs on a blue alwife on a 200 copper. Went out in the evening and went 1 for 1 in the same area. Should have gone to the bar instead of fishing

I use the howie knot.

What is a good reel for a 400 copper?

Has anyone run a wire dipsy on rod with titanium oxide guides and a twill tip? This a $40 set up vs a $130 roller rod.

I went from the cannon too Blacks. Now I wont go back

I used them last year and they worked when nothing else would

Mainiac, where do you get your material to tie flies?
