    New 2006 West Michigan Fishing League Sign Up

    in Tournaments

    Posted

    Hello Fishermen,

    Its the start of a new year and its time for me once again to get this fishing league going for the 3rd time. All I like you to do is to sign up here so I know how many fishermen would be interested in fishing in this league. Here are the dates for the fishing league and the rules for 2006.

    The dates of each tournament:

    1st Tournament - Sunday May 7th at Port Sheldon

    Blow out date will be Sunday May 21st

    3rd Tournament - SATURDAY July 15th at Port Sheldon

    Blow out date will be Sunday July 16th

    4th Tournament - Sunday August 13th at Muskegon

    Blow out date will be Sunday August 27th

    5th Tournament - Sunday September 10th at Muskegon

    Blow out dates will be Sunday September 17th or 24th.

    If we cannot fish a tournament date or fish the blow out date for that month. It will not be refished another time. The only one that will be refished if needed will be the September date so I can give away any prizes to the winners.

    Big fish game for 2006

    Each captain must give me only 1 brand new SPIN DOCTOR by Dreamweaver for this event. At the end of the year, the captain with the biggest fish will receive every spin doctor given to me from every captain that is in the league.

    I sure hope you will be able to sign up and join our little fun league. You do not have to be to every tournament date that I have down, you can still be in the league. I know some of the dates that I have may run on a big tournament or just might not be the right day for you. I still like you to sign up so I know that you are going to be able to make at least a few of them. But remember, at the end of the year. You could win these three thing down below if you are the points champ.

    A 1st place plaque of the State of Michigan from me.

    Also two okuma rods reel combo's from the Fish Dog Co.

    Also two $25.00 Fish Dog Co. gift certificates from the Great Lakes Fisherman web site.

    So come on fishermen give this a try and sign up. I like to get 20 boats in this.

    Here is the 2005 champ

    Another Beginners Question

    Well I take a bottle of Bud light with me. I stop the boat and drink all the beer out of it till its gone. I then take the bottle and put it on the floor of the boat and give it a good spin. Where ever the bottle points at that is where you go. As you are heading out to where ever the bottle had pointed for you. Look for seagulls, baitfish, and the right temp. Also look at the clouds,if you see a cloud that looks like a fish try it there. Now if the bottle points back to shore, the fish are not going to bite and you might as well go find a Hooters and go eat. Don't tell Sixshooter my secret.

    Good luck fishing,

    Boat Names

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Kind of a different story how I got my boat name (and site name) One day I was fishing in ludington in my 17' tracker boat i used to have, I was talking to some guys in the lot and they asked me my handle so they could contact me on the water, well i had never really chatted on the radio or thought of naming my boat before so i thought about it for a second and looked at my boat and the sticker on the side said Bass Tracker:eek: So I thought well I am not a bass fisherman ,I am a trout fisherman so hense the name TROUT TRACKER. I now have a 18 foot lund tyee but the name stuck with me.:D

    After Dark

    I love to fish at night as long the wave are calm. Its a big challange to fish in the dark to me because when you fight a fish you have to watch out for the other rods. The lures that I use is any type of glow lures and also that do not glow in the dark work well for me. My better port to fish at night is Manistee and Frankfort.

    Core rods? What is your Length?

    in Salmon Pro's Connection

    Posted

    Well I just baught a pair of 9.5' dipsey rod for my full core and now I wonder if I should of got 7' rods now :rolleyes: . My fishing buddy Sarah C has 10' rods and I thought they worked well. But the problem what I had with them 10' rods is that you had to reach really high to hook up your church board to them. Otherwise I liked the 10' rods for full core.

    Where is your #1 port to fish on Lake Michigan

    I am with Rich, Frankfort is a real nice port. A buddy, my brother and I use to go up there a couple times a year, then they wimpped out and I haven't been there in a few years. Manistee or Ludington would be a close second.

    Hey Steve,

    Maybe this year if you like to. Maybe we can go up to Frankfort on Memorial weekend and try it. I went up there last year and did very good. Probly go Friday and leave there on Sunday morning.

    Mine would have to be Frankfort. Frankfort is a nice place to go camping and go fishing. The fish seems to be bigger there and you do not have to go very far out to hit deep water. I even have better luck fishing at night. Also the scenery looking back at the shore line is great. I sure wish I lived closer there because I would fish there every weekend.

    Rich

    Manistee would have to be 2nd
