  1. I have another question. I have 3 sets of expired flares, i keep one as a backup on the boat and have the others on a shelf in the garage. Are they still safe to have around after the exp. date? Is there a place they should be taken to be disposed of?
  2. Great time had last night. Good speakers, good food, and a lot of quality tackle given away. A steal for $10
  3. Flonder pounder and blue jackal were good for me.
  4. I just use a heavy snap to attach the leader to the main line, and about 6-7 ft leads. The spiders always seem to add a bonus fish or two every trip.
  5. Done! I ordered a patriot, yellow/green toad, yellow toad and a blue kato. They all looked good.
  6. Just a quick question. How do you guys set your lines with the big boards without getting them on the divers off the side? I've used them for walleye setting them off the side but it seems like the diver would be in the way especially with a long copper?
  7. Just put in a order today, if that pic can't convice you nothing will!
  8. Hey guys just wanted your opinion on the Yeck torpedo downrigger weights. Anybody use em? Like em? Looking at adding a fish hawk/depth raider this winter and thought a torpedo weight would be better for reducing blowback on the probe. I use the traditional cannonballs now. I was checking out the Yecks and saw the spot to attatch the rigger cable is in the nose instead of the top, is there a advantage to that? Any and all opinions welcome!
  9. Love my Humminbird a great product with excellent customer service.
  10. I would highly recommend Doug Demming at Fish Point lodge as a charter captain. He has 2 boats one set up for the Saginaw river and one for the bay. A very hands on guy who will work his butt off to find you fish. And willing to share info including GPS numbers best colors,lures etc. I've fished twice from his big boat and once in the winter thru the ice and have not been dissapointed.

  12. Thanks Ron thats what I was looking for...I use the spro swivel with shrink wrap for my leader to copper....just wanted something for copper to copper without dealing with the shrinkwrap ...how strong is the twist? I've tried something like this but seemed to pull apart with a good pull?
  13. Hey guys hoping to repair my 300 cu that "found" my wire diver. I have two spots that are frayed up pretty good. I've read a lot about the ease of using the haywire twist but have found nothing on the net showing how to do it (except a few u tube videos where saltwater guys were using it to tie a wire leader to a hook). Thanks.
  14. Glad to hear you and Mark are doing your part to save the alewives! Thanks for the ride this spring.
  15. Worked anywhere from 80-300fow from the bathhouse to the 07s. Ended up 7-9 with 4 kings 11-14lbs 2 coho 5-6lbs and 1 8lb steelie.

  16. Managed to trash my prop Sat. morning out of the cottage grove launch on Muskegon lake. Just curious if anybody had a good idea where I should go in the GR area to get it rebuilt. Thanks
  17. Ended up pulling a 2 man limit going 10-16 Set lines at 6:30 and started working the 80-100 ft and were 5-7 by 9:00 when the fish shut off. Started to search and eventually found em again in 180. Worked the 180-200 till we boxed out about 1:30pm. What worked. moonshine Rv flounder pounder rigger at 41 king moonshine Rv mongolian beef fixed slider at 47 2 steelies Dw 11" glow frog racer paddle W/green bubble fly wire diver at 170 king Mt dew/Crush SD W/BW proctoligist fly braid diver at 140 3 kings NBK on a 8 color steelhead SS chilly goose 44 dn on a rigger steelhead JK John J rig 77 dn on a rigger king.
