  1. so if i understand you correctly you would have to pick up the board rods and pass the dipsy under/around it ? not sure i have it correct a pic would help. i would try to move the holders around for the board rods and get a couple heavy duty rod holders to mount on the gunnels near the transom for the divers-you will want this even when you have the riggers so may as well do it now.
  2. The pictures on there sites tell the story and yes at least these 2 do post the bad along with the good.
  3. I don't know where all the doom and gloom is coming from. Ryan I am sorta doing like you and living through others. Several times a week I google Ludington fishing reports. Freestyle and stowaway charters come up. They both post reports regularly. They have had many fine trips this season. Frankfort has been hit or miss. Some salmon have been cought at Leland off the manitous.
  4. Well I have not been out due to a broken boat. Been playing inland a bit. I sure would not call all the reports (both on and off this site) I have read bad, especially compared to last year.
  5. I am in the same sort of spot, so watching for answers as well. Side note here in tc it went from 2.99 to 2.27 yesterday. On the news a few minutes ago I heard in California the avg. Is now 4.89 refinery problems bla bla bla hopefully it won't come this way.
  6. Yep what the others said. When time there are a number of schools that give the class and test. You also need drug testing program and first aid ,cpr class. It can be a great thing but don't kid yourself its work. When I was a mate it was my second job period.
  7. They have been ok, but some north wind Will kill it. Google Ludington fishing reports and raptor and stowaway charters will be in the first couple popups. They both give detailed reports on their sites.
  8. Thanks Ryan I found it. Did not see pm section on here compared to gla. Got it now.
  9. Sorry but not sure how to pm and don't want to hijack the thread. Fishmarc I live in traverse city and have a broken boat. Will have a pretty open schedule that week. I don't drive but could take bus to Frankfort. If you want to chat let me know. I will figure pm out and send my #
  10. Hey mimci is the spoon with black dots a warrior spoon ?
  11. I don't think you need to worry about stressing the engine. If its going fast enough that you need to slow it down I think you could pile weight on and or pull bigger bags and not worry. Start by posting what size motor and bags you are running. If nobody thinks just going to a bigger bag would help then you need to experiment. I thing one more may do it. See what the cool kids say and report back what worked.
  12. Don't get that down and negative. I got a broken boat and would just love to be out. I have been reading some pretty good reports. A lot of good from Ludington mixed at Manistee and Ludington.
  13. Maybe people (lucky ones) are out fishing instead of on the computer
  14. In the water is the answer. Welcome to the site, you may want to post your location and a few more details ie: Boat or no boat etc for a better response.
  15. Hey tgl just wonder if you think you would have had any hits before the sun came out if you were running standard glow or non glow spoons. I don't have any of the strictly UV, guess I will have to get some.
  16. Kinda wondering the same thing. Was surprised at the 53 mention.the standard for years was right about this, then I think we figured out that's what the baitfish like. The kings like it a bit colder. I would run lines from 55 deg. Down to about 45 if I had no marks or other place to start.
  17. Ok thanks for sharing. I bet we would be surprised to see what our lures were doing at times. If they were watched all the time, with currents and such.
  18. Looks like the spoons were spinning like crazy at times. Did you catch any fish and did you have speed at the lure monitored?
  19. Sounds cool, thanks for the idea. We need to organize the same up north here. Keep us updated.
  20. You can't wrap your mind around the fact that maybe some of the released fish would even grow up to a 2 years stage and be fun to catch. Everyone knows an adult salmon is done, but come on a 12 incher ? Let em go, let em grow. This may be a touchy, no good answer topic
  21. I knew it would only take a short time before someone responded this way. Yes some are gonna die. Lets say we do a slot with only one or two below 18 . If its bleeding through the eye ,keep it if its healthy as can be flip it off without even netting it or anything. I think in the long run its the best option. We used to think that all the lake trout that floated were dead til a seagull came around and they swam away. With the slot we have had for years in the bay, the lake trout fishing is at a high for both size and numbers.
  22. I'd throw my hat in on that one, hell make it 18 or 20 inches and get the surrounding states to follow suit.
