    In his originally post he had written "nw" after I mentioned the error he changed it to "NE". I was just trying to follow the story. Still a great catch with good detail Thanks

    Didn't realize sheep got so big over on this side.
  5. littleboat
    Was your 2nd pass in a different area much further then you thought? Great catch regardless, congratulations.
  6. littleboat
    Why do you think the fish bit on the second pass but not the first

    Fished 9am-1:20pm 2 for 2, kings in 120 and 130 fow. 3# and 4#. 1st on 300 32# copper, sog 2.8, sw troll with blue bones spoon. 2nd one on se troll, sog 2.1, braided diver set on 3, 120bk w/ meat rig grn/white/dots. The 1st caused quite a tangle up between a 45# 250 cu, 32# 300 cu and wire diver. Surprised me, because I thought it would have been a much bigger fish. . I had to do some wire cutting to keep the fishing going. 3 ft waves at the time about 6.5 miles off shore. We were out to 200 but started in 80fow.

    Fished 6-10:30 6-17 0/3 what a heart breaker of a day. Lost a beautiful king at the boat jumping the net. Lost another hit (?) when my guide broke as I bought in the fish cutting the line. Finally, a shaker earlier in the am. All hits were on stinking old meat rigs, sw and w trolls at 2.7 sog, braided diver set 3 back 140 with a net minder sd(155'). Others were DR down 80 back 40' in 179 fow. Nothing hitting on LCs 5c. Started in 65ft trolled west. Meant Windy II today.

    Stopped at 90' on my way out. Water temp was warm all the way to the bottom. Headed for deeper water. Marked many, but no biters until I started a SE troll from 175'

    Tough night many bugs. 1 small king caught and released. Water with many isolated cold spots/columns. 135-176 depth, should have gone shallower. Caught king on white spoon with blue ladder 300 copper 32#, 2.5 sog, s troll

    Fishing was tough last night. 0/2, both hits came on a 5C with a chicken wing spoon small on a board. Last hit took my spoon. Both times it was hit really hard. Trolled from nw of ps to sw doing various patterns. Fish marking everywhere. Similar depths.

    Headed out of holland. I'm usually am on 68. My smaller boat I usually run out of PS. Sd program seems to work the best off drs. Divers didn't do anything even with sd & flys. I'm going to try a different technique with them next time out. Marked alot of bait in the area, but it was only when I got away from the bait balls a considerable distance did I get bites.

    Holland 5-14 am 8-12:30 Congrats on the catch. I went south along the shore with no luck for about 4 miles looking for a brown. I headed out to deeper water to change the game getting only a couple of releases but no fish. The water was actually more calm out farther 120' deep. It was a beautiful day and I picked up only one rider. LB

    Went down to the launch for the first time since I moved to Holland this year to check the launch, very windy as reported. Helped a guy a little while he made a repair to his bulk trailer. A few people were fishing off the bridge. Looking forward to putting the "Littleboat" into the water, just waiting like every else for a break in the weather. Never caught a brown anxious to get one.

    What did the brown weigh in at? Nice catch.

    They work on both, the drive is the difference.You order for your type of steering. I have an older version and a newer one on my 2nd boat. Both are attached mechanically to the steering wheels and my boat have the typical cable steering. They work great. I have been using them for several years. The newer one has great running patterns for trolling. LB

    Is there much ice fishing on Lake Macatawa? Port Sheldon? LB

    I have a Crestliner Sport Angler 16 1/2 ft. with a Minkota autopilot (Terrova) motor is 12v 55lb thrust with foot control option also runs on a single battery. I use it on the Detroit River, St. Clair River and lake. It runs very well with the autopilot. BUT, I added a Ray Marine autopilot on it this year. I troll with my boat main engine which gives you much better control on the big lake, especially when the waves start to grow to 4ft. On the river the small I-pilot works fine and the big lake if the water is calm. You may want to upgrade to a 24v motor if you will be carrying a heavy load while you just use you I-pilot. Using the main (60hp 4 stroke)with an my Raymarine auto pilot takes cares of the power and battery issues. LB
