The clear "stealth" snubbers have really made a major improvement over the old fashion types and, with today's technology why not go with the flow.

Common sense told me a long time ago to stop using what always getting deteriorated from the uv rays of the sun, hence being rotted in short order.

The Opti clear snubber is carried at many of the Gander stores and, have been really reliable for me time and time again. Also they come with reel quality swivels that help any presentation in the water no matter species you are trying to target or regardless what body of water you are on.

The market today probably carries at least 4 major manufactures of them you just have to make that choice.

Are there any updates to the "trap nets" and the GPS coordinates

around Muskegon that we should be aware of.

These are the of what I have to go by for the ones that were posted in 2007, both north & south. Not sure if they are accurate.

Nets around Muskegon:

Inside Buoy 118' N43 07.749 W86 21.365

Inside Buoy 120' N43 07.273 W86 21.103

Inside Buoy 119' N43 08.130 W86 22.037

Inside Buoy 109' N43 08.746 W86 21.661

Inside Buoy 121' N43 08.987 W86 22.337

Inside Buoy 83' N43 10.972 W86 21.788

Commercial Trap Nets North of Muskegon

Inside Buoy N43 13.619 W86 26.889

Inside Buoy N 43 13.751 W 86.26.986

How true that sometimes even the best of us who think we know all the names or what was abbreviated end being wrong.

With so many of the names being copied regardless of manufacture do not always produce the same color pattern either.

As an example, take a look at the "Bumble Bee" spoon from the different tackle companies to see that they are not the same.

Here is another hitch, try to search for a spoon by name and it is not always as easy as you may think it would be. The "Earlybird" spoon is one I can not find to view right now as an example.

I am in need of some basic advise from the anglers who follow the posts on the Great Lakes Fisherman web site.

In terms of some of the basics involved, your input here would be very appreciative.

1. Howie's vs. Opti Tackle copper line, is there any difference in the quality, or how it is manufactured per the particular company.

2. Mono length between backing and the copper, because I intend to splice in a certain length of mono to the braid for the board.

3. same as no. 2 but for the lure end

Capt Phil,

Hello and nice job in such a short time.

Since I primarily fish out of Grand Haven I have never heard of the bowl, and what might be the GPS coordinates, if I may ask.
