Am I able to use my motor-powered boat for recreational purposes, including fishing?
No. Under the governor’s revised “Stay Home, Stay Safe” Executive Order 2020-42, physical outdoor activity, such as kayaking, canoeing and sailing, remains permissible. However, the use of a motorboat, jet ski or similar watercraft is not permitted for the duration of the Executive Order, which is currently set to expire at 11:59 p.m. April 30. Prohibition on the use of motorized watercraft is reflected in the governor’s Frequently Asked Questions document that explains and interprets Executive Order 2020-42.
The DNR has received many reports about heavy use of boat launches across the state and the subsequent congregation of people at these launches in violation of social distancing requirements, and in a manner that threatens public health. In addition, people who use motorized watercraft typically need to procure secondary services for their craft, such as parts and gasoline, that could unnecessarily increase contact with others and spread disease. The hope is that the prohibition on the use of motorized watercraft will reduce the movement of, and contact among, people with the intent of slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
Please recreate locally and responsibly. Long distance travel is prohibited unless it is for a purpose considered critical under the governor’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” Executive Order.

Hmmm, interested.

Do you guys run the lead from flasher to meat rig the same as you would with a fly, or longer?
-
Well done!
Went 10-13 in Grand Haven 5-9am. All nice healthy looking kings.

Awesome news. I encourage everyone, if you use the buoy at all and can afford a small donation, to donate.

I have been trying to send them my donation the last few days but get this message...

Had a similar issue once. Turned out the cap was getting moisture in it while it ran.

Makes sense. Just to be clear.. Main line to swivel, to bead chain, 2-3 feet leader, to swivel to paddle?
-
Yes. Main line. 20#.. Should I be running 30# for paddle / fly? I figure it has to be getting twisted in the release, somehow.

Guys, why am I breaking paddles off this year at my release on a rigger? It has happened 2-3 times. I don't think I'm doing anything different than I usually do. I don't understand.
The rod releases and the paddles gone. I've also popped the release intentionally, only to have the paddle break off.
Using Blacks release.

Buy the smaller sized one. I have one, but it's too big and uncomfortable.

Man, I love the yearly bitching posts about Port Sheldon. To me, that just means, it's close.

Wondering if anyone can lead me in the right direction. .

Water warmed up, considerably.

Wish the other two captains would write reports like this instead of cluttering up the first page.
Thank you captain Brian.

Not working yet? Or just me? It's streaming but have yet to hear a voice.

Just curious, what problems were you guys having? I got some of the "first batch" and haven't had any problems at all.
My reels drag was completely useless after 3-4 trips and a fish of 2. It wouldn't free spool at all either.
