Yeah Creekerman u must have been near us. We saw some boats to west of us, so one was probably you. Deep riggers in the warm water seamed to do the trick; same for full copper. Dimitri, we had 225 copper out but had to pull it when fish caused bad tangle in it. Have to work on it today to see if I can save it.( was able to work on it at home n save it). Greek: Good luck in Manistee. Saw some reports Wed that kings were on fire in Ludville but not quite up to Manistee yet. They should be there first of Aug when u r up there. Good luck.

SoHa 7/27 4 for 7; 2 coho n 2 lakers. Lost steelie when slider broke, coho got off on CJohn Or Crush Spoon n fish got off on CJohn green frog BTI n meat rig. All fish in 170-185 fow except 1 laker on way in in 138'. Laker on CJohn BTI n meat rig down 84'. Coho on CJ Or Crush spoon on slider with main down 85. Laker n coho on 300' copper on double or crush spoon. Copper was modified with 1 1/2 colors of lead on end n fluoro leader per tip from friend DImitri. All fish and lost fish between 10-11:30 except laker in 138' at 1:30. Dead calm till noon when wind shifted n picked up out of north. Fish shutdown n easy 2-4s when we pulled lines at 1:45. Pure Michigan on Lac Mich!

Awesome

Awesome, good to here. Going up to Manistee/Frankfort end of August!

Good job

Yeah. Switched one rigger to fluorocarbon n I'll compare it to other with mono, too.

I'm not fan of metal guides but they will both work fine! Mine have ceramic guides n very little wear on them!

Not a joke; Cortland sells and oval diameter line that fleas cannot attach to. Used it for years up in Manistee!

U can use Cortland flea flicker line!

SH1, Yep, get it there when I keep my boat in SoHa thanks. Dimitri: Will be at SoHa Lake House 7/7-7 14 but planning Lac Erie walleye trip either 7/17 or one of days between 19-21.cHave dr appt 18. You interested and available. You would stay at my house night before n day of trip. Don't want u driving home dead tired. Send me a text tob let me know.

Ok, thanks! Appreciate it. Maybe we were out too deep. We did have a fish on in 120' so maybe we should have worked that area first instead of working our way out deeper. Thanks again.

Capt Tony: How far out were u fishing? Thks

Coralee: Boat ran great. Never stalled n ran fantastic at high soeed. Had had some high speed missing for past few years, too. Vaporizer kit (2fuel pumps n vaporizer), new hose from tank to fuel/wtr filter n new spark plugs. Due to pretty good chop coming in, couldn't open it all the way up but it ran great. And, to make sure I don't run into ethanol problems in the future will run rec fuel or marine fuel! Rec fuel 90 is $3.78 her in Jackson n at 4 Seasons Marina in SoHa with steelheaders 20 cents discount can get it for $4.05. SHYC across river (no discount) is $4.27.

Yep, fleas were bad in SoHa yesterday!

Yes, they were the only ones cleaning fish at city launch fish cleaning station. Not sure where they fished but there were some boats in close south of piers by rock pile (mile south n about mile out). Good luck! Coming in, the river was a zoo yesterday! Boaters were fine; a lot of the dinghy people cared more about drinking and talking to friends then piloting their boats. If I didn't say anything to guy behind me 3 or 4 times He would have been into my transom! Needed to get out, n have to put up with weekend/holiday crowds. But, didn't have to wait for dock at launch at 2.

SoHa 7/3 Got skunked. 0-2, had small fish on slider in 119' on way out. worked 110-200 fow; very few marks. On way in 107' SB rigger got hit n ripped slider n main right off mono! Beautiful day on the lake! Talked tp a few other boats n they had no hits.
