Nice job Jim!

Nice job Bob!

Nice job Fishwhisperer!

Welcome aboard Tuna! Hopefully one of our members has some info to help.

Nice job of catching, and Welcome to the site. We have a tutorial on how to upload and post pictures located here. If you have any more questions, just ask.

Welcome to the site. I have two small boys of my own, 7 and 4. When they are on the deck, I am watching them like a hawk. If you ask them, they would tell you I have eyes in the back of my head! A boat is not a place for kids to wander around aimlessly.

Everyone is welcome on the site, except for people who only post to advertise a product. Your post sounds just like the person who was looking for a life jacket for their dog incase they inadvertently fell overboard. Are you the same person? Our advertising rates are located here.

Are you truely looking for information, or are you going to slip in a plug for a product(life jacket) and ask us if anyone has tried it?

If you are truely looking for information and are not going to slip in a plug for a product(life jacket), then I will apoligize for my actions now. If you are only making a post to promote a product, please move on to another site.

Mike

Great job Tim and crew! Congrats on the 2nd and 3rd place finishes!

Nice job Mark!

Nice job Ken. I wish I would have stayed on the boat Saturday night and fished Sunday instead of heading home.

Way to load the boat!

I dont imagine you are pulling a boat from Washington. I will take you out fishing when you get here, if you would like to go.

Check your private messages.

I've been looking at the web cams now for over an hour and at times it looks flat calm but after looking longer i have noticed that there are some pretty good sized rollers out there,defiantly fishable but they are there none the less

I have watched it since 7:30am. It has been calm all morning. Looks like NOAA blew another one.

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika

2 tablespoons salt

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Put aluminum foil on grill and coat with olive oil. Put salmon on foil and sprinkle bayou blast seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes and flip. Sprinkle bayou blast seasoning on second side. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until done.

Important details about my report.

I was prefishing for the WMFL event that was suppose to be fished on Sunday. I ran to Duck Lake to get away from the other boats. We caught a couple fish at Duck Lake and trolled back to Muskegon.

The surface temp in from of Duck Lake in 70FOW was 65 degrees. At 30' down, it was 54 degrees.

The surface temp in front of Muskegon in 70FOW was 60 degrees. This cold water was from the piers to 1-2 miles North. At 30' down, it was 48 degrees.

There is a large pocket of cold water in front of Muskegon, and this is where most of the fish are being caught.

WOW.....There was a LOT of boats out fishing today! I fished with Silver One, smalls, and my two sons. I opted to stay away from the crowd, and we ended up 6 for 9 today, 3 coho and 3 kings. We fished 50-80FOW. We left the dock just before 6am.

We caught a coho on a Stinger prototype on a 3 color. Here is Hunter still in his PJ's reeling in the coho. It was a bumpy and he did not want to change into his clothes until we got in.

We caught a coho on a half core with a Stinger Mixed Veggie.

We caught and lost a king on a Monkey Puke J-plug on a full core.

We caught a king on a green ladder back J-plug on a full core.

We lost a big one on an 11" Protroll double pearl white with a Siggs Rigs Blue & Pearl Crinkle trophy fly. This was on a rigger set at 55'

We caught two and lost one on a Protroll prochip8 Blue Bubble flasher with a Siggs Rigs Aqua Blue Glow pulse fly, on a wire diver set on #3 with 90' of line out.

Nice job Jay!

These 2 bucks are less than 1/2 mile from my hunting grounds.

Check out the head gear on these two I video taped tonight.

Check out this bathymetry viewer. It takes some playing around with, but you can zoom right in and get gps cords with it.

I have a post on how to use in located here.

You can also check Mapserver.

That's awesome was that off a trail cam.

I shot the video with a Sony DCR-SR45 Handycam. I had a tripod set up.

Here is an 11pt buck and 3 others in a bachler group. This is less than 2 miles from my house.
