I agree they are not cleaning goose poop off the docks like they used to; also unless you pay the seasonal fee you can't use the indoor rest rooms early in the morning; there is a code and they only give it to season pass holders. I guess our day use money doesn't qualify us to use indoor rest rooms. Later in the day when someone shows up they are open to all.

Was watching BC (British Columbia) Sports Fishing show on YouTube and on their riggers they were using spoons behind flashers on 7' leader. Different approach. Anyone ever setup that way? They also use mooching creels. Not sure what that buys for them.

Been Fishing since I was 5 yrs old; started salmon and walleye fishing since 1971; retired electrical engineer; worked at Commonwealth Associates and Consumers Energy in Jackson, MI. Fish out of St Joe and South Haven and in August go to Manistee. Usully take a few runs to Lac Erie in nroe in May and June also. Own 21' Grady White Adventure w/130HP Honda 4 stoke on it.

I have 4 rods w/copper also; 150' and 300' of 45# and 30#; for my 30# 300' rig I put about 60' of 30# mono in the middle so I use either 150' or 300'; the end leader is of course 30# mono and backing on the reel is 35# Cortland Spectron Black Spot (bk/wh) braided line. The best way to connect braid or mono to copper is to make a small loop at the end and solder it; then you can use any standard knot to connect braid or mono to your copper. Hope this helps.
