Might have to give it a shot

Running wire or braid on the dipsy? I'm afraid to run mine that far back

Thank you, that helps a lot. So basically north wind coming down pushes cold water, and moves them in, south wind pushes them out with the warm water. Definitely something to keep in mind. Thanks again.

Hey guys, first mated on a charter boat for a couple years, but honestly, the guy I fished with wasn't great at explaining why we were doing what we were doing. I just bought a boat of my own, and for the last several weeks I've been reading 100-140 fow, 60 ft down. However, with the strong winds this weekend, strongest of which are expected to be WSW 15-25 mph, how will that effect the fish? Will they move in, or out? Sorry for the rookie question, I know how to run all my lines, and how to run the boat, but I'm a little behind on the how's and whys when it comes to salmon doing what they do. Thanks in advance.

Oh oh, for some reason I was thinking the event on the 26th was out of Muskegon. Holland works even better. Thank you

I think everything is covered. Somebody posted the link to the rules, and we fit the bill for that, definitely all amateurs haha. Where will the launch point be in Muskegon? The public launch by the bait shop, or the launch down by the condos?

Thank you. Excited to get some buddies out on the lake. We probably won't be much competition, but it's fun fishing with a group of boats, and seeing how everyone does. Look forward to meeting everyone, see you in a few weeks.

Awesome, just liked on Facebook, thank you. What is entry fee?

So... how do I sign up for that?

Can anyone fish this, or do you have to be part of the league? I'd like to get in on the August 26th event.

I have an ez steer and it works great. However... if you can figure out a way to mount them, and the right rod length for your setup, all an ez steer is is 2 female quick connect air fittings, one connected to each motor, and 2 male air fittings, on a tie rod type swivel, attached to the rod.

Went 4/4 out of south haven in an hour and half. Ran a couple miles north out to 105, set up, and had the first fish in 115 fow, 60 ft down on a dipsy with a Veggie spoon. Next 2 were more of the same spoon on the same dipsy, had one hit on a double orange crush in 125 fow 80 ft down on a rigger. Troll speed was 2.3-2.8, had to call it an early day, but a good trip for the new boat.

Sorry, I'm new to this, but setting up my boat as we speak. Is s.d. A slide diver?
