WTG Phil, Those fish don't have a calendar do they? I can't wait for some Salmon Slamin.

WTG Toxic, It's a sure bet that boy is hooked.

I was wondering about the State Park N. of Muskegon. I'll probably sleep in the cuddy and hit the State park for the 3 Ss. How are the conditions @ this park? In Manistee I sleep in the boat or truck bed, right in the launch parking lot, then use the State Park for a shower etc. Is any of this possible in Muskegon?

I just can't wait for a lil Salmon Slammin.

Bob,I cant wait to see your boat all rigged up. It sure looks fantastic. It looks like it was well taken care off.

Mine has a lot of hrs on it, is a little rough around the edges, and is old and slow. I think that's why I bought it. I can use the same description for me.

It's rigged with 4 old Cannon electrics. Here is a pic of my nephew that shows one corner of the boat. Musky Bob's thread is turning into a Starcraft Islander ad. I hope Bob doesn't mind.

DAN, Are you bragging or complaining about those fish numbers. LMAO

IMHO, any one who doesn't cheek those walleye should be Jap Slapped.

GJ, I can't hardly wait to tie into some Kings.

GJ Shultzs, Lakers are VG on the grill. I like to marinade my Salmon and Trout in Italian dressing overnight, then grill em.

You guys left me a few. Two of us picked up a limit in 30-32 FOW with crawlers. Color didn't seem to matter. Ran 2 oz BB with the GPS SOG @ 1.5-2.0 MPH. It was a nice morning to be on the water.

I own one and the biggest advantage is fuel economy. I filled mine up today after two fishing trips, and it took 11 gallons. I had about 15-18 miles running and a total of about 8.5 hrs on the water counting the running and trolling. It has a 4 cyl 140 Mercruiser IO, and is a 22 footer. It fishes well, and trailers easy. I can fish with 4 comfortably, 5 not too bad, and 6 if I have to. It handles well in 4-5 foot seas.

Congrats to you and your daughter. It's so nice to see your kids do well. I know you are very proud of her.

Your daughter sure is cute. She must get her good looks from her mom. LOL:)

A warm welcome 2 U Rob. Join us in chat Mondays @ 8 PM.

I name a few. I'll bet Dan can figure some of these out. SB 1By, AUGHBR, TWSHBR. Most of my wpts go unnamed, but I know if they are left in the GPS I have hit fish there. I some times put a fish icon on the special ones.

All of my engines, inluding the boat, run synthetic motor oil.

What kind of synthetic oil do you run? I have been running a synthetic blend in my car and truck. I may try synthetic in my boat if I can find a viscosity range of 20W40 or 25W40. Or maybe a straight weight oil would be OK also. Boats don't have to start in below zero temps.

I have the greatest respect for all our troops. I'll keep your son in my prayers.

Wtg Tlt:)

GJ Dan. Find out what they want, and give em lots of it.

WTG Mike.

She is a beauty Bob. I'm glad that you finally connected on a good boat.

Sold. TYVM Bob.

Bob,

You may want to contact John Williams @ Big Jon Sports. Sometimes they have some blems that can save you a buck or 2.

I keep two seperate snells; one for leaders that are shorter in length(~3') and one for sliders that are longer in length(~6').

I do the same thing on a swim noodle. One end has short leaders for dipsy rigging etc. The other end has 6 foot leaders for sliders. The swim noodles are cut into 12 inch lengths.

To boil it all down, find out what they want and give em lots of it.

I use 6 foot sliders. Never go longer than your rod lengths, or you will have trouble getting the fish to the net.
