  1. WOW you opened a can worms here,

    I've been fishing lake Huron since 1985 and seen the GOOD, BAD, and the UGLY, and I don't think the salmon went to Lake Michigan they just ran out of food, they was brought here to control the elwive and they did their job, but with the other problem's that are in Lake Huron, they will have to adapt to the forage base that is in Question at this time, the lake Trout are adapting to it by eating gobbies and their young and what they can find, I think it's a cycle that we must live with, and the MDNR will try to take credit for :mad: the salmon will reproduce here and did before, I think that some fish have = walley, steel head, and brown's, we also need the good rivers for the salmon to spawn in, with the lower water levels some of the river's won't support that like they used to, I think that we just got to be willing to take the ride and wait it will come, also I joined the Michigan steel headers about 10 yr's ago becuase I beleive that its group of fisherman (like here with the GLF) that will make a differance in the long run :thumb: sorry My 2 cents worth. Note I hope this was OK Mike I didn't want to vent like this here SORRY :confused:

    Did all of the Lake Huron Salmon go to Lake Michigan or is that a DNR myth. Apparently there is a lack of food for the salmon in Lake Huron according to the DNR. Yet walleyes, Steelhead,and Lake Trout are thriving and getting fat in Lake Huron. Could it be that the salmon weirs took too many salmon and killed off the spawners? Combine this with the VHS and it is a recipie for disaster. The DNR lowered the plants for a few years. You wipe out a natural population of fish and quit planting the hatchery fish, what do you expect will happen. Now that there is hundreds of charter boats on Lake Michigan do you try to rebuild L Huron at the expense of the L Michigan fishery?
  2. This is a good time to save your tuna fish oil :thumb:

    A qt. or pint is enough for a year depends if your wife will let you keep it in the frig.:lol:

    Here's what I do and it works, I take a old j-plug that I don't use, or don't catch fish I'am sure we all have them and cut about 3/8" off the tail end, or as you may remember the one's that had a screw in tip that you took out and put light stick in, works too.

    I use that hole to put tuna oil in it No more then 1/2 full, put small piece of cotton in the end works as a wick when pulled through the water, then I take the hook set off the plug and replace with a 12" pike leader and put setup behind my cannon ball as my deepest rig in the spead, as scent will go up in the water.

    I then use a stacker type release about 12"-24" above the ball hook your line in and get ready, works great on slow fish, :thumb:

    Also get an old mustard bottle, works good to keep oil in and put oil in j-plug.

  3. Well the dogs water dish was hard water the last few mornings it was time to get the ICE FISHING down from the upstorage in the shed last night, :thumb:

    I even went over to the sled hooked up the battery and it fired up, :thumb:

    WOW, even the ice auger fired up on the 3rd pull, :confused: but :thumb:

    Now we'll be warm for month you watch, but I'am going to be ready anyway, :lol: In 3-4 weeks could be first ice on the bay, maybe some perch in front of the sugar beet plant off the cuts @ sebewaing, :grin:

  4. Nice find Ben, you'll be very pleased with that boat a couple of my freinds have a S.C. nice boat. As for rigging don't be in a rush and do it right, the guys on here know what it take's

    Good luck and keep the picture's coming as you progress with your adv.

    Note: my wife told me I could get some new rigger's this winter so I may have 4 electric cannons for sale "cheap" we'll see how it go'es
