  1. Dan - Tremendous catch. Does this suggest a much better year? They are fat--what were they eating? Thanks
  2. My boat is fully equipped and has fished Lk Michigan for many years. Boat is 18 1/2 ft Starcraft with bow cover. Pls call me 224 858 4279 for pictures of the boat and what we caught last May at Benton Harbor.
  3. I have 3 choices for leader material- which one is best Seaguar 100% red label 20 lb Seaguar 100% regular 25 lb Pline coated 25lb The coated is cheaper I did have leader breakage when I went to lighter leader material - Thanks
  4. In Lake Michigan and Wisconsin waters a very large fish was just caught - likely a wild fish. Good luck https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl/lake-michigan-chinook-salmon-is-believed-to-be-heaviest-caught-in-about-30-years/ar-AA10AP4O?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=fa1fc39092124d70ae7994b2f56a2aa7 Sent from Mail for Windows
  5. An impressive report and a cute little girl -thank you.
  6. A young man on a charter in Ludington using a spoon (MOONSHINE - Raspberry carbon) did the job. The previous record was in 1978 at 46 lbs. So, why could one fish find all that food? https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2021/08/teen-catches-4786-pound-chinook-salmon-besting-michigan-record-that-has-stood-since-1978.html In July, a 39 lb king was caught off of Muskegon. 39-pound ‘fish of a lifetime’ salmon hooked in Lake Michigan - mlive.com
  7. I had trouble with Vanish Florocarbon breaking too easily - testing w a pull gage found it breaking at 60% of rated strength.
  8. Very nice cart! At my Del Webb some guys add gear racks to their golf carts. Tight lines
  9. Dimitri- I am new to area around Evanston Il. --I have fished east side of Lake mi. for many years-- I need advice to help me.  Roger Parlett    [email protected]  Thanks

  10. Per the Mi DNR report 2-13 - they are catching fish! Anybody of you going out?
  11. There are a number of very helpful and great fishermen on this site. The detail and the accuracy of the reports are what I need. Just fished Ludington on 28th- strong winds from the south had 65 degree water even out to 205 ft. - had to drop down to 85 feet to find good temps. We got 1 nice laker and a 19 lb king. We got the king at 55 down on a dipsy-spin dr-fly. Yes he was out of prime temps- very strong fish- took 330 ft of line and 25 min - great fun. Several boats in my group did worse. thanks
  12. On the double uni knot - I tried 7 wraps on the mono and 11 wraps on the braid - tested with a pull scale and found it perfect (no knot slip at full line load). Thanks jdh
  13. The FG knot is hard to make for me. The double uni raises a question- how many wraps- some videos say 7 - some 8 - and then I read - Double Uni Knot Tying Instructions. Repeat with the end of the line on the left making the same number of wraps unless tying with braided line in which you should double the number of wraps. What number works best?
