I think your right about the snow. Now with some warmer temps, it will get worse. I would stay off the lakes until after another real cold spell.

the coating vs. Lack of is hey imo. I pretty much use a mix but mostly uncoated rounds. I have liked the pancakes until the fin gets bent. Some though bend them on purpose and some come that way, to get away from the boat. You will get a bunch of opinions. Experiment and use what you like. You can always adjust for blowback, other than that the fish dont care. That's all that counts !

nice catch. I was on way from work yesterday and was thinking wow cold but sunny and no wind. Wondering if any one still getting out. Saw a post with pics of a great catch out of Ludington also. Keep it up, temps back around 50 this weekend!

Nice catch ! The fish gods rewarded you for the payback, on the truck situation.

well I'll be the first biter, no pun sorta. I only like smoked fish with a rare exception of one on the grill-probably once every couple years. I fish with a lot of newbies that want them and throw a lot back. That said if you are worried about the amount of fish you are eating due to chemicals etc. ?? If so those spring Coho are too young to have accumulated any. I think a mature king would be ok also. A long lived steel or brown I may question. A long lived lake trout would be my last choice, as they grow slower. More time for contamination. With the gobies' the Lakers are growing faster, so I would really only be concerned about a real big one.

good try anyway.

nice and yep your hooked. Try for more and steel should be getting better every day.

nice job, bet the king was not the only one hooked !!

this is a disgrace. Total bs from the DNR. Makes me so mad I can't even go into more detail. Need new boat . Big decision is go the bass/ walleye route now or later ??

Are those shade or ales that were in stomach ? Look similar to me.

I'm not sure where I stand here, also the first I've heard of it. If I have it right the DNR puts tags that are worth money on some fish ??

we are stuck with the, DNR bullshit assessment . Of the fishery

yea I have way too much tackle to look through pictures of it and then try to figure out what I dont have any more. You would have to use a erase board and write down every bait changed. Too much work for me. Used to keep a log but quit after I learned that I kept a pretty good memory of what worked for me and when and where and also of trying to duplicate something in the log that worked under certain conditions. Then try and it doesn't work but a complete opposite program does. Happened a couple times. Figured thats fishing and Gave up on log.

I have not saw it personally but have heard it from someone I trust very much. If a king is laying near bottom I can see them chowing on gobies. Big fish eat little fish plain and simple. Nobody told them they are only supposed to eat alewives. Just like nobody told the ones in the ocean only eat herring dont eat those orange shrimp.

most simple cheap solution?? Just lay the dipsy rods down instead of in a holder. When you get to your spot and at trolling speed they can go in holders even if you don't set one first. If early morning I would throw one in holder then have a glow bait on them grab other flash it up and get it set or let out slowly with drag while starting to set riggers.

All states need to get their head out of their ass. Fisherman lakeside are reporting good numbers of bait and large healthy Coho and kings.

nice ! At least got him one! Too bad about the steel.

never been on one myself. Think they have a good reputation. That said any boat can have problems. I was looking at a couple on CL. So will be awaiting the reply 's with you.

yea I hear ya. He claimed to now buy adds on here I dont know. Fbd any thoughts ? U post more than me .

now it wont post my reply to the spoon pusher. Is this site just having issues or going to hell or both ? Never a problem on gla.

Tom I thought we had this straight. If your customers send you a thank you note without more info, contact them and get it or don't post in the REPORTS section.

nice king. I tried viewing this many times as well as other posts. It would just go back to the original list and not let me view it. Thought it may be my phone. Saw a very small number of views so thought others were having a problem also. Could not find a way to contact the site or moderators???. Even now only 47 views in 21 hrs.

someone better show this to the mi DNR with our money and kings exchanged for the frogs ! Dont get pulled by a slightly better year. We are still in deep doo doo with no solid plan or answers from mi DNR. They are falling into puppets following the fed lake trout.
