Welcome you will find a lot of helpfull people here!

With smart phone technology the radios have pretty much gone silent .

Good work nice to throw in a Chinese fire drill also.

Checked and shows no sent messages, I hit reply button typed message and hit submit message and they are not sending evidently.

Why does it not show that I have sent PM's but shows incoming only? I'm not sure if my PM's are being sent.

Could be the nets that were off Whitehall. The last I heard, quite a few of those have not been found.

Possible I found a church board one Memorial day weekend that managed to make it to Ludington in 2 weeks from when it was lost.I called the number on the board and the captain was surprised to hear it made it that far and that fast as he was fishing south of Grand Haven when he broke it off on a fish.

Thanks Ed got the same email yesterday wasn't sure how to post it , I'm technologically challenged. I wish they would get their story straight one time there all removed now their back.

Maybe they can pass a petition around to take up a collection to pay for all of the personal property the Badger damaged historically!

After having engine problems Saturday morning made it out in the evening and Sunday morning.

Caught 14 fish both days fishing north of Big Sable point over half of our hit came on moonshine blue jeans some on moonshine green jeans also took fish Yeck fireball and Yeck Jerrid spoons.

The best spin doctor bite was on a blue bubble with a blue bubble fly.

P- line came out with some very good ball bearing coast lock swivels 3years ago and I used to run only Sampo and have run the P-line swivels without 1 problem or failure.

Good job lots of fish between Pentwater and Manistee right now

So quick question why do we have charter boats , don't you pay for salmon ...... Why yes yes you do ....food for thought !!!

No you are still required to have a license for each person and you are paying for the opportunity to catch fish not the actual fish.The charters don't charge buy the pound for fish caught just a flat fee for a fishing experience.

According to the contractor there is one net left at 52.60 and 32 line as of last weekend but there may be parts of nets not located.

I was told that it is the last net they have to retrieve that is marked but that does not mean there might not be pieces of net still around.Fishing still remains hot from south to north of Ludington

sorry not buying this school is not even out yet and you are telling me that they are running enough charters to only be able to post the face book link. as far as charter capt info is hard to come by what are you referring to ? i see captains that give all the info on this site and there own blog/website. yes i know you could be busy and maybe not want to give away the spot but with nothing but facebook on here i say spare us. look at yankee if you want to see how to juggle both.

There has been a lot of captains who have given imformation on this site as well as the average Joe's.Please don't feel the need to come on here and act like a Richard there is another site where people act like fools towards others if you wish to go there.This has to be the most civil forum I have seen and I quit going to the other site as to many buffoons showed up there.

I run spin doctors almost exclusively on my coppers and never have a problem with line twist, make sure your using good quality swivels or you will get line twist with any rotator.

Miss my yearly trip over their to fish in Olcott since my friend passed.

Nice job Don and team, even sweeter when done with Kids!!!

X2 Great to have fun with the kids and throw in a win. Makes you wonder how the boats loaded only with pro adults feel to get spanked by some kids!

Hey joe,

There's a local spoon company out of Holland called Big Lake Lures. I fish almost exclusively BLL spoons on my boat with the exception of a few Silver streak mags and mini streaks. I know quite a few other guys that fish BLL as well like Killin' it and Bendin'

Tight lines!

Here's a nice 13lb laker we took on BLL green/yellow frozen toad a few weeks ago. This spoon has been HOT on a 5 color for the past month. Taking multiple fish every trip.

Just a observation BLL spoons while wearing a Dreamweaver shirt ? Dreamweaver makes some great spoons and spin doctors!

Lots of bait in Ludington offshore.

Good job Ed we have been seeing some nice kings the past week or so.

Just switch over to slide divers. You can have as long of a lead as you want, and still be very short to net. No hand lining.

They also have a new kit out this year that turns you normal slide diver into a magnum. \

X2 I've run slide diver since they came out and love that I can run any length lead I want and not handline fish in when running meat rigs or paddle flies.

I fished north of big sable point towards gurney creek Weds and ended up 3 for 6 all kings.I lost 2 15 pd plus fish after they decided to run under the only other board I had out, its hard to control the bigger kings when using 9 foot ugly sticks and 12 pd test line but had a blast for the few hours I got to fish.

Browns and kings are still in less than 30 feet rapalas were my best, plan to be out again this weekend in my little boat.

Good job impressive catch of fish !

Very nice indeed !
