Thanks for the report. Heard anything out of caseville? I'm heading there this afternoon.

I run wire with dipsy rods and a twilli tip. No problems so far with the guides. I buy 1000 feet and then split it between two. Big thing is keep it tight when spooling up because any slack and you have a rats nest. I use torpedo 7 strand 30lb. I like to check the first 200 feet every couple of trips for abrasion, kinks etc. This winter i'm switching up to blood run tackle trolling wire for something different. I have their copper and its awesome.

Thanks guys i got it now

Or is the first numbers after the degrees.

Oh this is a newbie question and its been answered before but I couldn't find it. I'm using one of captains chucks reports for example. What numbers do they use in the reports, like 34's to the 40's and 49's to the 15's out of ludington. Is it the last 2 numbers in the cordinates? I've got google earth up and trying to figure it out.

6-4 we went out of sunset and picked up a 3 man limit with purple and green in 16 ft of water, yesterday we didn't do worth of crap. Didn't hit the water till 10 and fished for about 6 hours. Picked up 3 and two 10lb cats, loosing number 4 at the boat.

Oh yea I care. Its on my list of get things done over the winter. I've read about the tinsel strand mylar before but without seeing it wasn't sure if it was what I wanted. I'll get some over the winter and try it out. Thanks

I bought some from siggs but it wasn't as fine of material. Trying to find something finer like what dreamweaver and raptor uses.

Haha well thats what you get for getting up at 3am and fishing hard....wrong forum! Meant to put it under the fishing reports.

Took my dad today out of Manistee. Went 2/5 in the morning before the storm came, then returned at lunch and went 3/3 till it got bumpy. All of our fish came on a north troll, 140 foot of water. Wire dipsy 180 back with blue sd/blue fly and mountain dew sd/ green fly. Did pick one up on 7 core with silver j plug and one on a rigger with a flounder lber. 2 20lbers, 1 18 lber, 1 15lber and one jack. That was my first time out of manistee and I like it. Nice facility's, quick trip to the water and quick to deep water.

Awesome man! You were just pulling out friday when we were heading out. Its hot over there thats for sure.

Terrible news indeed.

I burn anywhere from 12 to 15 gallons in a 19ft alumacraft with a 150. If I can get a little 1 or 2 foot roller it burns less. Thats usually fishing 10 hours or so. Figure a little 9.9 4 stroker will save me at least 10 gallons or better. When I go too the bay I run my bowmount and maybe burn 3 or 4 gallons.
