Has anyone heard any updates if this is going to be in service this year? Last year they had to raise funds to deploy it.

Nice Job!

Had a great day Mike, glad we could put Gabe on some fish.

Great stuff!

Fished mostly between Holland and PS. 65 - 70 fow was best, most action was before 8 am. Two solo trips. On 8/3 went 4/7 two lakers and two kings best fish was 18.9 lbs on a rigger down 45/ splatterback plug. 250 copper went 3 times with a Mag blue dolphin. On 8/4 went 5/7 three lakers and two kings (lost two other good fish). Kings were 19.2 lbs and 20.7 lbs., they came on the rigger and the splatterback plug down 50 and a silver streak kato on a rigger down 55. The two good fish I lost were on a wonder bread plug/ 200 copper and the kato on the rigger down 55.

Great report!

Nice job, fished  the tournament with Special K. We fished Muskegon, found some fish in 120- 150 but couldn't find the big ones. Great charity and well run tournament.

Ditto Dr. Hook. The kings have been very hard to find, normally fish between Holland and Grand Haven. I've put more hours on the water this year and only 3 kings to show for it.

NICE!

I've heard people using equine spray for horse trailers, I bought some last year and used it a couple times, seemed to work ok. (Not something I would spray on yourself but around the boat)
