Thanks for the report, weather and conditions sure have been tough lately, real skunky weather. Nice job!

Very nice!

TGA is right but it's a good idea to have one should you be disabled and burn up your flares.

Good luck Erik, glad your feeling better just in time for turkey season.

Nice walleyes, thanks for the report and the pics are great! The coho's have been keeping us busy but I need to get over to Erie for that early bite. We usually don't bring the boat over till the end of May. Way to go on putting some nice ones in the boat Matt, that keeps the clients happy! Too bad this east gale we got going now is going to screw up the lake for a few days.

Nice catch!

Nice job, eating my heart out at work today, sure looked nice out there.

Nice when the boat runs great first time out and you slime the box!

Nice box!

Way to go!

Nice catch Jarod!

Nice steelie!

Figured it would be real busy in the morning so we did an afternoon trip. We started at pier and trolled south to the retaining wall, worked that area for a slow pic and got 9 and it died. After about an hour with no hits, we pulled lines and ran 7 miles south and set back up. Didn't take long and we found them and really lit up the rods. Hit 15 and got 11 more in 45 minutes to end up with 20. The same lures were best in both spots, red and blk thin fins on boards, small orange dodger and purple coho fly on a diver out 45, the other diver has a DW SS steelie stomper out 40 to 50ft. The riggers had a j-11 orange and gold rapala on one and a anti freeze DW on the other 4 ft off the bottom. We fished 20-35 ft of water in both spots. Good luck!

Nice job, how many kings did you hit?

Nice catch guys! Wish I could have got out this week, cancelled vacation days on Monday and Tuesday with my girls for their spring break due to the wind, then work has closed in on me for the back half of the week. Looks like I'll finally get back out Sat. Weather (wind) looks bad for Sunday.

Nice report Matt, have fun these season!

Another good thing about this is that it also get you in state owned boat launches that required a boat launch sticker like Bolles Harbor or St Joe. In the past, I always bought a boat launch sticker for my truck-$24 A park sticker for my truck -$24 and a sticker for my wifes vehicle, another $24. They are needed throughout the Waterloo area where we live and we go the Ludington state park all the time. So we used to pay $72 annually, now we pay $20. What a good deal for a change. Maybe, maybe not??? What I'm expecting is that won't be manning the gates at many places anymore. If you don't buy it, you'll get in anyways because they won't be paying a worker to sit at the toll booth. With everyone buying these now, there won't be many left to pay entrance fees so why put a worker there when they won't be collecting much money. They might man big parks like Ludington but I doubt they'll man Bolles Harbor or the St Joe DNR launch. This is speculation on my part, we'll have to see what happens.

Nice smackdown on the fish!

The hot fishing continues, we caught 26 and kept our 20. After we caught our limit and let the 21st one go from a double, we started to pull rods and hit 5 more and released them as we cleared the deck. It was over with quick. It was a nice way to start to my 2011 boat season. Orange gold j-9 rap's on all 3 riggers down 18-22ft. They were the best. Small dodgers and orange/red coho flies on divers out 40 and 50ft and thin fins on boards.

We'll be out too.

Nice catch, sure is nice to see the year class of coho's we have out there this spring.

Nice job, those coho's are really snapping now.

That's some fast action!

That's a nice box!
