 Welcome to GLF!

Ive used down riggers before so i got that. The question i have is planner boards i wont have a mast for outrigging. My thought is i run out some line connect it to the board then run the board out from the boat. Do i need some sore of diver type device to get my bait to a set depth. Thanks sorry for the long post Thanks

Im an avid inland fisherman, took the plunge and bought a 21' cuddy. I live in the upper penninsula and plan on fishing superior and michigan regularly though the year. Looking for any advice on hot spots tackle saftey or just chat thanks

Blue dolphin, bloody nose, uv veggie. Monkey puke, double orange crush, glow frog, pink panty dropper, wonderbread, green dolphin. Those are a few of my favorite spoons. Get yourself some Luhr jehnson size 0 dodgers, and pulls spin n glows behind them with about a 24 inch leader to the spin n glow. In the spring I like to run shallow diving cranks, jointed or not, either blue, or orange. J plugs I really like a silver with a bloody nose with a rattle, wonderbread, glow plugs, anything purple. I also run a lot of storm thin fins for coho in the spring, and early summer. I prefer the thin fin 6, but the thin fin 8 will catch fish too. It’s very much dependent upon the day, and the light conditions, all that crap lol. But those are a few favorites of mine just to start with, and you’ll find your favorites the more you fish. Congrats on the boat btw.

I've been fishing the great lakes for quiet a while usually near shore, Finally was able to talk the wife into a big boat. I purchased a nice clean 21' cuddy with most of the Equipment, down riggers planner boards some rods. so the question is what spoons and plugs and rapala's should i purchase to start my big water adventures? Chasing trout and salmon usually in lake Superior near Marquette and lake Michigan near Escanaba. Thanks
