Insurance adjuster was over this morning around $4200 damage. We guessed about $4500. Boat damage was outer edge of one of side scuppers cracked. $26 fix for me, $6 scupper n $20 for Adhesive 4200. Tight area to work in in the access panel behind the port built in cooler but got er done. Didn’t claim boat damage, too small n it would have been 3rd claim in a month, aka stolen large walleye gear box at Sterling State Park. Doing eyes out of Bolles Harbor, Thursday or Friday. Don’t dare do Sterling SP during long holiday week. Retrieving boat at launch would take a very long time. Thinking about trying for Holland again next week. Thks

I bought triple rod trees from Mads docks in Harrison, Mi. The triple starts at $65 each. They are advertised as poor mans rod tree. I ordered triples with extra cost for removable tree and rotating base w/cinch pin; 4 rubber boots for each plus shipping total was under $300. http://www.madsdocks.com/shop/Item/pmpoletree

We were supposed to fish in my boat in Holland but around 630am we hit a deer on I 94 just west of Battle Creek. Damage not bad at all, could have been a lot worse; left front qtr panel n drivers door dented n broke scupper on boat port side. Since scupper may have leaked into boat Sea Eagle Tarry graciously offered to use his boat in Paw Paw. Left my boat n car in his driveway and went to ST Joe instead. Fished 125-225’. Most hits in 180-225, all spoons; nothing on meat; temp at ball 80’ down was 43.5, speed at ball 2.2, sog around 2.7. Slider spoons on 70’n 80’riggers got hits, both 200 coppers n 1 of 300’ copper, also. 8” tin can dodger with green tape on one side with silver and green spin n glo took a few. They hit awful light, ended up 2 for 7, all Hos. Water was like glass all over. Want to thank Tarry again for “saving the day”. Didn’t set lines till 10 n pulled them at 2. Beatiful day on Lac Michigan But had our friends with us: black flies, no seums n skeeters.

Liove to but I live in Jackson. When r the meetings? If we r at SoHa family lake house at the right time this sumner, i could attend. thks

The disposal at the fish cleaning station is now practically useless for cleaning salmon, last few years no carcasses and now no skins, etc. It’s only good for perch n pan fish. A city worker that does a great job cleaning docks, cleaning station etc said the only way to get improvements is to contact the city. They have a fourth new skid pier allocated in 2018/19 budget. I sent an email to the city manager , Harbormaster/asst city manager, city engr, rec dept and the city council. Instead of replacing a skid pier I would like to see them replace the fish cleaning disposal with a new larger one. The existing skids are in pretty good shape and they could wait a few more years for replacement. They replaced 3 last year. Also, two very inexpensive upgrades: 1. For you lazy guys that use electric knives, lol, hang 4 GFCI 120vac outlets from the ceiling (like St Joe city launch fish cleaning station). 2. Change incandescent light with a new LED light fixture. I would encourage fisherman/rec users to also send letters, emails or call the city to express your concerns. They gave a great online directory that lists each person’s name, phone number and email address. Thanks

Good job. What were other 4 fish? Coho, kings, steelies?

Yep

Yep, just like small dog ankle biters. Lol! We even had bug spray n still got bit!

soundslike my Soha report today, 2 for 2 with 2 knock offs on riggers.

Set lines in 85’ went out to 115; back to 85, then out to 220 n in to 180. Then pulled lines.’ Both fish downhill,NW troll. Speed 2.5-3sog. Got laker in 108 on 225 copper on Magnum RV Moonshine Flounder Pounder spoon. Got coho on Jager Bomb Crush spoon on full core in 180fow. Had 3 releases on magnum Wonderbread spoon on slider on port rigger down 75’ with no one home. Best biters were the flies. Could have worked 100' area for lakers but chose to find some coho and kings outt deeper. Lady at city launch fish cleaning said 1 or 2 fish per boat.Only 1 king all day cleaned; caught in 100fow. It was hot until we got to 180 with a breeze and water ripple. Was glass all the way out. Supposed to be 0-1s which it was near shore but was same open water where it was supposed to be 1-3s building to 2-4s tonight. Going north to Holland in 2 weeks. Monroe, Brest Bay, Erie walleye next week! Great day on water. Brian, in Muskegon, past coworker in Jackson was able to join us. Great to have him join us! Honda with new 2,3 cyl coil ran fantastic, like new!

Not a report, but this page gets a lot of views. At Sterling State Park today or on the way home on M50 between Monroe and Jackson we lost a big beige Plano tackle box full of body baits, etc. Any info please send PM or email. Thanks

Nice, thks for the report.

We lost nice fish in 128' only got him half way in on 200cu and lost another nice one in closer that didn't hook up. Got coho in 91' on way out on dipsey out 108' on GOC Capt John spoon. Ended up 4 for 6, laker in 45fow on 225cu SWR and pulling lines in 45' had coho on both 200cu. Think two we lost were kings, but not sure. Was getting pretty foggy when we pulled lines around 5. But, made it out between storms n met a new mate Dennis. Thanks for sharing great day with me n Andre. Pure Michigan
