I have always used the #1 Dipsys, with and without the std ring, with great success. I did buy a few of the Monster rings to try on my low divers, when we are marking a lot of deep fish. The Dipsy has been my most productive presentation. Love the Dipsy Hootchie Mamma Squid combo.

I would like to fish the WI side sometime. Keep the reports coming.

GJ Captain. One of my favorite setups is the flasher fly or squid.

WTG Bob. With that chummer on board you should have taken FIRST.

Wow!! I observe Bald Eagles all the time up here. In the Winter months when things get real quiet up here, I see them on the beaches. They do rule. I never thought they would go for a Deer. You should see the Gulls scatter when a Bald Eagle is around.

GJ Andy. Late July and August I will be Salmon Slamin. Still whacking Walleyes here.

GJ Al. I always wanted to fish the big O.

GJ Phil.

Just dial your number Mike. If a fish answers keep him on the line. LOL It's a good idea to put your billfold, and other stuff that may work out of a pocket, in a bag on the boats dash. Leaning on the boat fighting a fish can work things out of you pockets and into the drink.

GJ Mike. Wishin I was Salmon Slamin.

Keep experimenting Dan. Last time out I spent a lot of time searching. I did find some fish, but it was almost time to go in. I'm slowly shifting away from the Walleye, and getting ready for Salmon Slamin. I may check out the weather for tomorrow and see if I can get those fish I found to go. All of June and the first week in July was FANTASTIC for me. The Saginaw Bay is second to none.

There are only a few of us that post from E. side of Michigan also. I post some reports from Lake Huron's Saginaw Bay. The site is relatively new, but as more people join from the different areas the reports get better. Try posting some reports, and maybe it will take off on your side of Lake Michigan. Encourage others from your area to join us.

You nailed it Long Line. There is little or no control. Sometimes it's the best cheater wins.

GJ Andge. I'm going to start concentrating on the Salmon soon. We pounded the Walleye, and they are starting to scatter now.

How does this work? Is your entry only good for one week, or does your fish stay in the rankings until a bigger fish bumps it out?

You guessed er Chester. Just like a lot of local fishing contest.

Yes,, the C/G will assist in many ways. They will call a tow service for you. They will also maintain periodic radio contact with you, and make sure the conditions haven't changed from bad to worse.

WTG Phil. I can't wait to do some Salmon Slamin.

The Walleye here are starting to scatter. It's time to get my Salmon gear out and inspected.

GL Bob.

GJ Nothing better than a meal of those yellow bellies.

I don't see why you couldn't apply it to both sides. I have used it on the traditional canvas and saturated it with Thompson's.

Welcome aboard Marty.

Diawa Sealine LCs. I only have 2 of them that I bought as combos for $60 each. I wish I would have purchased more. I do have some Penns, Okumas, and some Diawas without counters. They all function well, but I like the Sealine LCs best.

You mean you eat those fish. LMAO:lol: I do like to catch em. Fresh Walleye and Lake Perch have spoiled me.

I voted for the Steelhead, but I do like them all grilled or smoked. Marinate them in Italian Dressing overnight and grill them.

TYVM Jason for having this Grumpy Old Man onboard. We do need that Walleye chop, but those 3 and 4 ft waves were a bit much. You and Brian should have come over for that fish fry. I had seconds, and there is still fish in the refrigerator cooked and uncooked. I'm going to check the weather for tomorrow and maybe give it a whirl.
