Thanks for the posts guys. You can never over emphasize safety! or kindness.

The single most effective spoon for me in my first two years of big lake fishing has been the Stinger Area 51.

Second favorite is DW double orange crush.

Nice shot! Did you get one of the conjunction too?

Wow! Good luck with this exciting endeavor Mike. Those salmon fishing episodes would be a welcome addition to the TV fare during a way too long winter season.

Thanks again Captain! We have seen a similar run in Muskegon. With fish in the river and the occasional four year old caught in 80 fow.

Last Sat night we marked many fish in the top 20 ft in 50 FOW. We got a nice steelhead on the freakin blue veggies in 54 fow, but lost another off of 5 colors. For all the fish we marked, it was a slow evening.

Good luck and tight lines.

WTG! Better than any day in the office.

WTG Jim. The mixed veggie has been a good bait this summer.

I had an embarrassing day at the ramp last summer. I guess it keeps us humble. It even happens to those of us who use the boat frequently.

WTG! Thanks for the report.

WTG Andy! Maybe a trip to South Haven is in order. . .

Saturday we also did well on the steelhead in 120-140 with one 30 incher. The combat fishing in near the pierhead didn't yield as good of results. We had 4 of 7.

WTG Ken!

NICE fish! WTG.

Thanks Capt Ron. I am going to try to get out of muskegon tomorrow after work, so the information is very helpful.

WTG Capt Chris. Thanks for the report. Though I know it will be crowded, I hope to get out next weekend.

I'll try it. Always looking for another way to enjoy the fish a "second time."

Great question. I look forward to reading the pros answers.

WTG, and thanks for the report! Happy to hear some fish are being caught.

WTG Mike. Great pics too!

Steve,

Impressive set up. I guess I have a ways to go. Dan, I had a wide and deep 14 foot flatbottom for years. And loved it. Good luck.

I learned long ago that cheap drug store listerine cleans out the cooler really well. Pour some on the carpet, let it soak, then rinse with lots of water. There is plenty of alcohol in it, so it may not be safe for the carpet. You could always check that out with your drinking friends. . .

Mike, Good job. We were also out Sat night until about 10:15 and went 0 for 1. It has to get better soon.

NICE!!! Great job. Glad to see some larger fish are being taken.

I love fishing! How many of us have retrieved poles that we thought we goners? I hope your buddy's shoulder was damaged less than the rod.

WTG!!!

Thanks for the report.
