Gonna leave most of your questions for the pros but I know If you hunt you can find Islanders made from the factory with outboards. No conversion required.

Nice looking facility and marina. How's the fishing in that area? Thanks.
Word is that the fishing is epic. The problem is everyone and their mom knows the fishing is epic. So you gotta wonder off the beaten path to find a decent place to get some peace.

I'd wait and go after steelhead in nov/dec. Pier kings are lame.

46 in SH last night.

They turn it off every single summer after they run out of stuff. Its absolutely baffling that they do it. How about just disabling the shopping cart and removing the phone # with a message saying that you're sold out until January or whatever.

85-95 fow is where the fish were caught. we fished 65-105 I don't got a temp probe. the buoy showed a temp break 55 foot down.

3/4 on kings (thanks to a rigger cable and a hot fish)
2/2 on drums.
First king on a slide diver set on 1. 125 back w/ White Killer paddle with a meat rig in tow. Two kings came on a slide diver set on 1. 125 back 2/ Blue paddle & meat rig. A silver/black uv spoon on a copper 250 caught another king.
2 kings came on a west troll. 1 on an east. 1 on a north. The autopilot struggled in the chop.

That's all anyone used to have. Then this happened.
Make sure you go through the legal requirements of everything you need. You will be a HUGE target for the sheriff/coast guard. Even the days where the lake is glass. If you see anything in the distance storm clouds wise. You need to go in immediately. You also have BIG boats that can swamp you with your wake. There are 14' boats and then there are 14' boats that high a 20' transom & high sides.
Any day now the water will turn cold here and there will be small boats trolling the river. They'll sneak out past the pier heads and troll around a little bit and go back in. I'd start there.

If you use VLC to view the footage. You can watch it at higher speed. Helps go through video pretty fast.

Go on michigan-sportsman.com Search for a guy named dave ash. Anyways, a few years ago he got really heavy into fishing the holland pier. He posted about everything you need to know. So what you need to do is find his profile page. Click on POSTINGS, scroll towards the bottom and click on "Find all threads by Dave Ash" Then you'll have to look back a few years. I think it was around 2005 or 2006. The issue is that their forum software just updated. I'm not sure it all got ported over. He went everyday for a while and made a post everytime he went. I've never fished the holland pier but I've read every post he's created when I first got going. Some old timer on the pier told me about his posts.
Saying all that. Ask anything. This weekend. You should go hang out at the fish cleaning station in the DNR boat launch with a few zip lock bags and ask for eggs from the guys with boats. You'll need eggs for winter steelhead. Which is the most epic fishing there is. Store bought eggs are terrible.

Here is a shot of a couple of my TX 44 boards after the mods running about 3.5mph inside is pulling a 450 copper outside is a 300 copper.
Can you upload some pictures of your board modifications?

the batteries i have ,use the small post/wing nut set up, great for solid hook ups............
I've already learned the hard way that statement isn't true. Take it off (the cables) and check for corrosion.

Do you use use a spin doctor or flasher along with those action disc's?
-
Great first post. Thanks for the report. That's a beautiful king.
-
lake is now pretty flat btw
-
Catch any fish?
-
A few days ago the intake temp at the water treatment plant was 67. It was 48 yesterday. That northwest wind brought in some cold water. The beach is still 70ish.

We catch them off the pier in SH in the winter and the guys in St Joe do better than the guys in SH.

You sound like an expensive friend to have. On your next trip. Take a picture and upload it. A fish finder would be last on my list of things to buy. Behind things like multiple Copper setups, a couple wire dipsies, a downriggers, spoons, meat rigs etc etc.

BLAH... Here you go. Every item on ebay has these. You can report every item the guy is selling.
Here is one of 4 of his auctions. Report away

what page? seaguar page or ebay? can you send me a link? I contacted seaguar on FB and they said they are aware of these problems but couldn't help me.
The negative feedback left wasn't mine. I dont think I left any feedback and now its been to long to leave any.... The ebay guy said he would take care of my refund but that was 10 days ago and I have heard nothing.

Its hard to see but its on the item page. Its on the right hand side.

Its only expensive when you don't factor in the costs associated with global warming.
