In an effort to consolidate my "getting out of hand" salmon tackle collection I am offering for sale the below 2 lots. These are name brand flies/meat rigs that I have repacked into other bags. 1 is 3 each meat rigs $20 2nd one is 6 each flies $20 Both lots for $35 and free freight You can text me at 248 613 5106 Mike

5 separate lots of 6 each flashers. Each lot has a flasher with either a fly or meat rig as an added bonus! (same picture with different view). These would retail from $7 to about $15. Some new and some slighty used. With time on my hands I figured it was time to consolidate....so \OI can buy more! $35 per lot $30 for 2 or more Free freight on 3 or more You can text me at 248 613 5106 if you would like Mike....

As a side note...the use of different icons on my lowrance is to differentiate between seasons. I always mark (or try) where I catch fish and also where I have multiple marks. The "fish" icon was this years trip. It's surprising how often a pattern develops. If I find fish I stay on them...best tip I ever got from a charter Capt!

Shake down trip for the 2020 season done solo with a fair amount of success.... Started out around 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM 5/12 on some marks from last season in about 95" of water slightly south of the harbor entrance targeting fish marks at 80" down (lakers) and 45' (assumed to be kings). I continually rotate thru the many rods I have at the ready to hit on the right combo which turned out to be spoons only in orange / blues / greens for the kings and a flasher (all silver metallic) and yellow/green/orange laker rig. Went 4 for 6 with a 16# king caught on a 10 color, a coho on a UV bloody nose free slider and 2 lakers down around 78" on the rigger laker set up. Speed was tough to judge due to the wind/waves but I try to keep it in the 2.5 range. Hit the same water around 6:30 AM the next morning setting up initially in about 75" of water and trolling out to the 95" magic mark where i started marking fish and then the bite was on. Went something like 10 for 14 (lakers are unhooked and let go while still in the net and and in the the water so they all swim away ) keeping 4 nice kings, another coho and a laker. Fish seemed to move up higher in the water column as I caught 1 king on a 5 color with mixed veggie spoon, 1 on a high diver set 130' back (see in the image the flasher / spoon rig I picked up in Alaska back 3 years ago...it works!) 1 on SW rig with 2 .5 colors with a bloody nose UV set 30' down and one on a 150' copper set up with Coyote Ugly. I had 2 occasions where I had 2 fish on one rod with one on the main line and one on the slider. The 2nd time it was a coho on the fixed slider which promptly wrapped around my high diver. Lots of "deck dancing"! Did manage to land them all. Off the water and headed home by 10:30 AM. The 5 kings I caught weighed 82# combined! Heading to Holland / Port Sheldon next Tuesday / Wed and can't wait!!

On a positive note that just confirms I back the drags off for storage over the winter [emoji846] Enjoy Bill and thanks for taking the time to sent out the correction! BE SAFE EVERYONE! Sent from my iPad using Great Lakes Fisherman

I have bought and sold many items on this site over the years with no problems so if you have a specific issue or concern please direct them to my email which you have. Those all came off rods that were used thru last season so if there is a problem with one let me know and we can work out an amicable resolution. Sent from my iPad using Great Lakes Fisherman

New to reporting on this site but I have been a long time visitor. I fished out of PS Wed and Thursday and had over 30 bites on 4 separate trips landing around 18 and releasing probably 6 LT. most of the bites were on 150' and 350' coppers with a blue/green/orange spoon probably accounting for a 1/3 of my hits. Had at least 6 drive by's and I lost another 6 that just spit the hook. Landed 4 kings with the biggest at 21# on rigger down 72' in 105' of water on a green/orange/silver paddle with no see me fly. Got a nice coho on 150 copper and 4 steelhead with the rest lake trout. I fished mainly NW about 4 miles out from the piers between 95' and 135' of water. Awesome couple days of fishing except for those flies which were relentless!! FishyBusiness Sent from my iPad using Great Lakes Fisherman

I am not the owner of the boat nor the one posting it for sale. I simply replied to his ad at one point and asked some questions about the boat.

Could you send me more pics please and location of boat. [email protected] Top speed? Trolling bags required to get down below3mph? Rod holders? GPS/depth finder? Down rigger temp / speed gauge? How long have you owned it? Do you know total towing weight? Thank you Sent from my iPad using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
