  1. Great catch Kevin, gotta love that bite away from the crowd! Are they planting skams there or are all those strays?
  2. Nice job on the fish Mike! If the wind was blowing toward land, maybe walk the beach for your boards? Hope you find them. I've returned a couple sets with names/ph over the years, got one of mine back that way with my number on them and kept a few nice boards without names since I had no way to find the owner nor heard about a loss dockside. You'll have a great story to share with your grandkids some day about their parents.
  3. I'd look for some used electrics, they are so much nicer than manual riggers when the fish are deep. When I started out, I had 2 homemade manual rigger with 2x6 frames, a washing machine wheel to hold the cable, square steel arms, a pulley on the end and a nail through the frame to stop it where you wanted it. Had a round flasher graph to watch depth. I just kept upgrading from there over the years,

  5. Fished out of Bolles around the dumping grounds yesterday. We had a hot bite and 2 of us caught 30 walleyes. Trolling scorpion spoons and diver disks back 50,60,70ft. Also on riggers off the bottom and a gold/blk hot and tot took a couple nice fish. Too bad we had to throw back 25 of the 30 we caught being shorts. Lot's of 14 -1/2 inchers. We didn't have our Ohio licenses or we would have ran east looking for bigger fish. We did get one nice one about 6lbs, 4 of the keepers were decent.

  6. Nice catch Ken, I was there and going to fish on a friends boat and he ended up cancelling due to the winds Sat and Sun. I wasn't too disappointed. Monday looked like the best daybut I was back home.
  7. Thanks, sounds like fishing is tough in Port Sheldon but good to hear what is going on.
  8. Check the screen at the fuel pick up in the tank. My boat has a screen there, a fuel filter and another screen at the carb. I had this problem (but no backfiring) and resolved it cleaning the 2 screens and a new fuel filter.
  9. I have not been fishing since early April either and that was pier and beach then. Have not splashed my boat, latest ever in my life. Looks like Im missing the entire spring trolling at St Joe. That has been due to turkey hunting and both my kids going now. I'm going to start fishing Memorial day weekend in Pentwater and in past years when we had lots of bait, they would be in the harbor and the mouth of the Sable. I'm taking my cast net so I hope I can find some. All the best! Ed Sent from my SM-G920V using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
