WTG Denny i hope that made it to your garden...:D:D:lol:

U betcha:)

If it's a Walleye tournament the Saginaw Bay RULES. One suggestion if we do go for walleye please let us run crawler harnesses, even if they must be pulled behind a Stinger Spoon. Give em meat, and even people unfamiliar with the area will catch fish. The harnesses will produce even when spoons and cranks do not.

I think that would be a good idea Frank, that time of the year you can almost catch them on anything, plastic, steel, meat........

I'm game my brother!!!

(Wondering how to rig for Salmon and Walleye)

Hmmmmm....

Welcome the the site "Butchie" its about time you joined us?????? What did you guys end up with in Ludville????:lol:

It all depends on where my jobsite is, but usually if its over 100 miles we get a room paid by the company i work for, soon i'll be living in the UP for the winter, not looking forward to that at all! But the bills don't stop coming!!!!!!

For some reason i cant edit my ad........

I sold the boat sometime ago and the buyer had an emergency in the family and i bought the boat back, so that being said it has to go immediately i have a contract on another boat...

Lets talk the price is real flexible !!!!!!!! It has to go!

Thanks but he already bought some

I think he knows this, but you run the Crawler harnesses off the riggers??

Well first of all caz how big of a ham are you smoking... The reason i ask is because the theory i've been taught is 4hrs to 1# soaking in the brine....

And go and get yourself a smoking net (or whatever you call it)to put the ham in and let it go, we usually keep our heat/smoke temp in the 180 to 190's .......

I think you would be alright if you land the fish in between the 2 riggers at the back of the boat.......

I use a snubber because i use wire on my dipsy's , and a 20# leader and i think it helps because of the light mono...Just my $.02

Welcome to the site Andrew, there is a bunch of useful information here. And if you ever get over to Lake Huron look me up and we'll go slay some walleye's....

I have to sell her to make room for my other one.. She is a 1985 221v

Starcraft Islander, 140hp i/o super low hrs (446to be exact) i'am the second

owner... It has been all tuned up and ready to fish. I will either sell it without the trolling equiptment or with.Anyone interested i can send them a list of what it has on it.... I'm asking $7,900 but does not include the riggers,rodholders,downrigger board,birdtrees and 48" tracks... GPS and f/f are neg....

Will entertain all offers my email is [email protected]

Welcome aboard Brian

Good job Frank glad to see someone else is getting them, we have also been

doing excellent this past week we boated over 85 just this week, i guess you

would call it pre-fishing for the tournament this Saturday out of Hoyle's.

Give me a hollar the next time your coming down we will get together and fish my treat.......

Congrats to all with fish and teams without fish. Looks like everybody had a good time. Looks like a pretty layed back tournament. Again congrats to all.

Hey Caz i heard an amount up to 12, and where there going to be i dont know. I dont think anybody really knows until there put out.....

Amen to that Frank:clapping:

Welcome captain.....

WTG Tony. Time to replenish the freezer. I'll bet you cheeked every one of them.

Yes i did cheek everyone of them Frank. I'm thinking by this weekend, where we fished is going to be "hot". Come on down and fish with us. Going to try spoons this weekend tho we have a tourney in May. Got to keep fishing:grin:

I think i could squeeze out a few pounds of fillets for ya fellas........

We went out last night at 10:30 or so and set lines and fished till 1:00am

We started out running everything tight to the boards with no avail. So we switched up and reset lines and that seemed to be the ticket. The firetiger rapala #11 took 4 at 75ft back,and then the clown rapala #11 picked up 5 for us at 90 back of the port side.

With all the lures we had in the box only 2 seemed to produce (go figure).

But all in all it was a fun night altogether calm seas and warm temps.. Hello Spring.....

4-22-07

Left the launch at 6:45 went back to the same area the night before working the same program in 9-11fow and NOTHING, stayed there for about an hour and pulled lines and moved.

Dropped down at the new spot. Started setting lines my brother got the one side set on port, moved to starboard and started setting, looked over to the other side" fish on" it seemed to be a nice fish relled it to the net nice 5 or so lbr. That was the only fish for about an hour.Switched up the spread to some longer leads from 85 ft to 135 feet back from the board. Then all hell broke loose, we had 3 on the port side and 2 on the starboard side with only 3 of us in the boat. "What a chinese fire drill". And manage to land all but 1 of the fish. Got things set back out washed lures for an hour or so and nothing.

Pulled up and headed in at 11:00 or so. All in all pretty good moring no problems at all .........The boat ran flawless and was great to be out on the big water again..

If anyone goes out be carefull there is a lot of floating wood and debris in the water...............

Well....I thought I was going to do some fishing today. As I got near the end of the channel, I looked at the temp gauges. Both gauges were above 200 I got to the end of the pier and increased the throttle to see if the temp would go down, and it did. Anything faster than trolling speed, and it runs at 145.

I will be pulling the boat back out and changing both water pump impellers. I knew I should have done this before the boat went in the water. What was I thinking? [/quote

Before you do that change the sending unit on them, it might save you some time.My boat was doing it too, and all i did was change the sending unit. Just my $.02............
