Thanks for the info. Want to fish Frankfort yet this year. I'll make sure to stop in there. I would almost exclude Jays from my big box store classification. I agree they are Michigan based and do have a great selection of tackle for what we fish for in Michigan. Franks Great Outdoors is another Michigan based larger store like Jays. 

Get there early and Christine usually has coffee to go with the advice.

Don't forget Frankfort Tackle Box. Been picking up some rod/reel combos and baits the last couple years. Good service.

Jay's doesn't have the hands on assistance, but their selection has improved lately, also being Michigan based.

This is a well maintained boat guys. Floor plan is great to set up for fishing too. Helm is within reach of the action!

Great day and a great post. Keep up the good work. When I visited the Platte River hatchery last August 2016 the staff there told me that they have a lot of Atlantics in the hatchery that will be released into the lake. We'll see how they "take".

Tight lines and safe returns to port...

They've been stocking Huron since 2011 and seeing some good returns, finally. Likely this one was from over there. If you send them the heads of the state plants, they can tell which port it was planted in. Last year I've seen claims of 7 + pounders. Lots of 2 pounders so far this year being reported, hopefully will be seeing some in the double digits this year.  Boyne use to have a wild population until the lakes dropped. 

That's gonna be awesome if Atlantic's start populating Lake Michigan again. Get some natural reproduction in the Boyne or a few other nearby streams. 

Beauty! I like boats to look like boats. Couple more weeks worth of rigging to do and I'll finally get this old girl in the water this year. Going through everything but the engine, which is suppose to be younger.

Wouldn't mind seeing more pictures of the boat. 

Larry....     Sorry, couldn't resist.
