What are the specific colors of lead core? Is there a standard "color code" between manufacturers?

From what I am gathering, the extra riggers come in handy when you are in close poximity of other boats. You can effectivy fish as much or more water with a good spread of lead core, wire and dipsey's. Thanks for all of the info!

Anglers have caught brown trout on minnows in open-water off the piers. Some are spearing northern pike inside the pier. Most of the ice shanties out by Jerry’s Marina have been pulled to shore due to poor ice conditions. Walleye fishing was fair in 15 to 20 feet of water, BUT ICE CONDITIONS ARE POOR…BE CAREFUL!

The entire Bay has either very poor ice conditions or no ice at all. The ice blew out at Palmer Road last Friday. Anglers are encouraged to wait for the next cold snap, or fish from a boat or shore. Those wading are casting jigs and minnows near the Hot Ponds for walleye, pike, catfish and carp.

Has open-water, and no ice. Anglers are fishing from boats and off the piers. Yellow perch were caught off Luna Pier. Bluegills can be found in and around the marinas. Try fishing at Metro Park Marina with a jig and minnow, or a teardrop with a wax worm.

I managed to get a sitter. I will be there around 5:30. Who should I look for?

Welcome to the site Darrin. We look forward to having you around. Nothing better than a bunch of fisherman sitting around telling fishing tales

I guy I work with hit one with his new Dodge truck yestereday

Is this a weekly/monthly thing? Its hard for me to get away on short notice, but if I had some advanced notice so I could arrange a sitter. I would sneak down for a barley pop or two.

Whats going on at Lunkers? Do I need to print up some fliers to hand out there

We have 3 moderators on board from Michigan. I would like to have a moderator that lives in the U.P. and fishes Lake Superior, and one that lives on the East side of the state and fishes Lake Huron. I am also looking for mods from the Great Lakes surrounding states and Ontario. This will give us a hand in each of the Great Lake states and Ontario.

I have added a Tournaments section to the forums. Know of a tournament that our members might be interested in? Post it in the Tournament section. If you are a club and have a weekly or monthly tournament and would like it pinned to the top, let one of the mods or myself know, and we will pin it.

I made a modification to the navbar. If you are in the forums, there is a "Gallery" button in the navbar. If you click on this, it will take you to the Photo Gallery. If you are in the Photo Gallery, the "Gallery" button is replaced with a "Forums" button. This will take you to the forums. This saves everyone from having to go back to the home page to go from one to the other.

Welcome to the site Nick. Thanks for taking the time and doing an intro. We look forward to having you around. If you need anything, just give a yell.

You are red hot. Next guess you should get it.

Hint....your cold

You are 100% correct. But, the question was, which one is GLF? I graduated H.S. with Richard. We took his wifes boat out that day. This was on 10 July 2005.

Welcome to the site Mark. Sounds like you will be busy for a while. Do they have plans for you to go to New Orleans? Will you make it back by the time fishing season rolls around? Look foreword to seeing you around the forums.

Welcome to the site. Its always nice knowing a little about the people who you are talking with. I look foreword to seeing you around. If you need anything, give me a yell.

So pretty much, the scum line attracts the forage fish and the predators follow the prey. I can relate to that.

This summer was an above average temperature summer. Was the water warmer at the southern end of the lake this year than in years past? Did anyone speculate on why it was the best year they ever had?

I once saw a tv show, years and years ago, and they went fishing for salmon after dark. I remember them using J-plugs with glow in the dark sticks in them. Does anyone fish for them after dark?

Why does everyone stop fishing for salmon on Lake Michigan after the mature fish head up the rivers?

What type of knot do you use to tie the lead core and monofillament together?

Whats everyone's thoughts on salmon tournaments? Being an ex bass fishing tournament angler, I like tourney's. If there is enough people interested in tourney's I will add a tourney section.
