Does the TX22 run any different or better then a walleye board? I have been using walleyes for all my longlines, just curious if their is a better option. And on that note, you guys who run TX44's, do you find them helpfull? ive heard of it pulling so hard so sometimes miss fish.

A whole bunch of nice bucks. And some interesting genetics.

lemme check i may have a sg27lc in good condition id trade

Its all MLIVE articles. nice reads.

Tough year but a good year nun the less. Im laying my boat up aswell. See you in the spring.

how old? 1 year? 10? If its not varnish id mix it with some seafoam and run it a bit at a time in your car. As long as your changing your fuel filter when needed youll be fine

Nice steelie!!

mabey the stress of going way out of temperature to get bait?

cohos already ran thru grand rapids. One of the earliest years for them. Usually october. Perhaps they are adjusting to the conditions that are changing every year.

had 5 or 6 20+ lber come to the back of the boat offshore in july/august but they all spit the hook or broke the line. Finally got em in the net combat fishin.

Nice job! What is that 3rd spoon down? looks like non glow version of some moonshines.

Sunday sand docks. tuesday channel. I guess most of the action tuesday was out front in 40FOW. we werent alone in channel just 3 other boats on the other end. We try to stay away from others.

Combat fished muskegon on sunday and tuesday am. 12 fish total on 20 hits. average of 20lbs. 2 big males at 24lb, and 26lb. (personal record) Worth the stress.

My experience has been that there is a late push first or second week of october.

Nice job! I just dropped off some fish to have smoked at big o smoke house. Great place!

Fished from 6am till 11am. 1 for 4, Shoulda been 2 but i botched the net job on a very big fish all between first green bouy in mac and big red. Chrome watermelon, chrome red head, and chrome j plug. Traffic not to terrible but just enough to keep you on your feet. Seen a dozen other fish caught. 15 down on riggers, 35 back on divers set 3. Water very cold in the clear. As low as 38.

You see that no wake bouy that doesnt sit straight? Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

and they move! good practice.

100 yards of lead is called "10 colors" or a "full core" Other good lengths are 7 colors, 5 colors (half core), or a 3 color. 27lb lead is the preferred for big lake.

It was a nice year. Only made a couple events but i enjoy the competitiveness. Now if dave could just leave a few fish for me to catch....

Is there a general rule for where to start to get in line? Do you usually set lines coming from lake mac and just get in line? How big of a circle outside the pierheads do you usually go? I might try some mud fishin but i dont wanna be "that guy" that causes a kerfuffle

Not sure i can get work off. Looks likes youll be playing in the mud without me =(

Fished from 445am till 11am Ended up 2 for 7. Most action early in 70-80 FOW, I started out alone but the pack setup around me on everysides and i got pushed around a lot. Died after sunrise then moved around and picked up a few more in the 110-130 range on east west trolls. Lost some big fish that bent hook and snapped leaders. The fish were getting very dark, males had good bend in mouth, nice eggs in female. What worked: full core - green flounder moonshine plug 250' 32lb copper - crabcakes moonshine rigger 45' - mini blue flounder moonshine dipsy set 1.5 back 100 - green dots 8 in pro troll, sour apple mirage fly dipsy set 1.5 back 200 - Whitey On The Moon Stinky Stinky Bait Rig Combo full core - stinger blue slushie UV 250' 32lb copper - silver horde pearl black dots plug

Sometimes you can be on teh fish and not get big ones. If you want to target bigger fish set a spread of meat and plugs and run 1.8 to 2.0 You may not get as many but if theres any pigs you should find em

Flounder Pounder. Green blue orange red doesnt matter, RV and non RV.
