Sorry to hear you're selling out Just got used to Capt. Kenny not being at the helm. It's going to be hard figuring "Who's-On-First" Martin

With all this "Grease" in the water I'd better learn to appreciate that "a fish is a Fish" Guess I'll find a crew and go Greaser Hunting Wed & Thursday. Thanks again Terry Martin

we'll start catching more of the Silvers instead of all the "South Haven Specials". And I hope I'm on the water when it happens. But that's the way to nail'em. Martin

Sorry I missed ya down on the ice covered concrete this past spring. I'll try harder next year. Martin

There are a lot of little factors that have to mesh just right for a successful 1st. trip. A well organized crew that knows what needs to be done at the launch, two engines that need to perform as designed, fishable water, the fish, and a smooth retrieval. Finally after two failed attempts to launch, “Eleanor†made me proud. Now if the fish would have been a little more willing to cooperate. Wasn’t a SKUNK. We did manage to net a couple of South Haven Specials just north of the piers in 40fow. Both came on DR’s 35 & 40 ft down on a DW green dolphin, 8# and a blue dolphin, 4#. With 6 boards out, not even a tickle on Thin Fins, Rapalas or a stop and go rig. Did manage to mark two pods of Yellow-bellies in 57fow but that was it. But there is always a next time. Martin

Thanks for that report, and rubbing a little salt in the wound. Had planned an afternoon outing but got spooked off by that weather system crossing the lake. Martin

Thank You for that detailed report and the "Fish Porn". Planning a couple of outings this week but out of South Haven. Send some of that cooler water toward the Southern Basin, Please. Martin

The Skunk’s out of the boat again after last Fridays solo outing. Neil, Cory and I cleared the river just before 0600hrs on Eleanor with high hopes and a plan. Well the plan didn’t work but we still put 2 steelies and a greaser in the box, and had a great morning on the water. 1st. steelie hit a standard size Smurf on 200x45 CU. While she was coming to the net, the 250x45 CU. w/ a Mag Smurf burped about 5 ft. The next steelie came on a green Monkey Puke on 250x30 CU. that Cory was letting out. The AIR show started 100ft behind the boat. The greaser came on a white glow paddle w/ triple green teasers and a Silver Horde UV green and white Squid fly 65ft down on a rigger. The last hit of the morning came on a Mag Smurf on the 250x45 Cu but it was short lived. All fish were caught in 115-135fow, E/W troll @ 2.5 And for all you Perchers, the mob was south of the pier.
