Killin' It

Even thought I just started this years...

Blacck/silver/glow fly with a black/glow spin doctor was our hot ticket. in the off color section of spinnies and flies

Anyone do it in SW michigan....

Anyone do any good..

I am thinking of giving it a try. I have not done it since high school and I fished the same spot for years as I could sit in the cabin and watch the tip ups.

So I have no real experance on doing it "for real"

What lakes within a hour of holland are better then others.

Being our resident Surf/pier guy... I will share everything I know... I am still learning alot about the river.

The only question you can not ask is "Can I take your wife out to dinner?"

NEVER ASK THAT QUESTION...

JUST DO IT...

Then I can go fishing:)

I am new to the boat game too and filled with lots of questions... ASK away.. everyone here has always been a good help.

I have been looking for a couple of spoons that have worked in the past on other boats I have been on. The problem is I can not seem to find them.

Monica (Not sure who makes it)

Striker (Flinstone)

If you have one or 2 your willing to give up please let me know.

I used the DB on the small boat this year and I LOVE THEM!!

I run 2 riggers 2 divers and 4 or six core rods

One side gets a mono rod with a steelie bait, a full core and a full core with a 4 or 6 oz dive bomb

the other side gets a 3 color 5 color and 10 color with a 3 oz dive bomb

Riggers get a Moonshine founder pounder and a spinnie

Divers get spinnies.

Does anyone run spinnies on the core rods. lets say a 10 color with a dive bomb?

I am soooo exited for nest summer.

GET OUT AND FISH...

The fish are in each of the places listed above...

31 fish caught in the last 4 days:)

Nailer... Your word on the street is correct:)

Joe if you want to get out and hit the surf or piers let me know I will be going out this weekend.

The fish are around.. Just need to put some time in to find them:)

Ben,

I fish alot during the week... If your more then welcome to call me on the radio...

I am by far no expert, but your always welcome to fish on my boat if you dont feel like draggin yours out;)

Took a trip to a SW beach this afternoon to take the dog for a swim... Needless to say I was kicking myself because the steel were crashing the beaches chasing bait....

I have 2 hours before class in the morning ... the truck is packed... will post after work.

Just a thought....

What if we could work something out with one of the lure companies for grab bags of "custom/test" spoons?? 5 dollar donation or something like that?

I slept in this morning... way to much homework to do...

The fish have been chasing lots of bait in close the past few days

Fished a WSR and went 1-2 this morning;)

Both steel

Both on Pink spawn bag

1 was 16" the other was about 6 pounds.... to bad I hit him in the nose with the net.

I just bought the Lacross 5mm waders from Cabalas a few weeks ago.

You can get fleece pants with sturpis in the same area for around 30 bucks

add some under armor extreme and a set of rocky cold weather you will be as snug as bug in a rug in the cold.

GH north... but it depends on the hot bite ( I still chase steelhead around during the fall and winter:)

I have seen a decent number of fish in the river... Fresh ones too;)

Worried, not really..... Concerned that my kids may not be able to fish salmon in 10-20 years yes.

(that is if I have kids)

I have 5mm with 1200 gram boots for fishing the late winter and 3mm for the fall.

If you are ever wanting to fish the west side, let me know your more then welcome to tag along. I have extra rods, bait, whatever... This includes wadders as well. ( Size 12)

The question is what do you want to do the most.

For surf fishing (for bait)

I use 12' Whoopin sticks from cabalas. For the price point of 24 dollars they can not be beat. Match it with some decent reels that hold a fair amount of line.

For casting in the surf

I use 8'6 Gander steelhead rod with a Okuma reel.

River float rod

That is truly up to you. I have a 10' south bend ultra light that I love.

All the set ups I run cost under 100 dollars each. The rod does not make the fisherman....

The boat motor is done;)

Go me:)

Going to strip her the rest of the way down this week and put her away... *SAD FACE*

Thanks for all the help guys:)

136th and Riley

in holland

2 stroke yes... I am going to take a look at it sunday after church.

If I can not figure it out TGA any time monday before 1pm works. I will let you know.

Hey Ken,

If you have time in the near future to stop by I have a bag full of Crane's doughnuts:)

I can try and pay you off with those.

Once I do it the first time (with help) I should have no problem doing it in the future

Anyone want to earn some extra cash... I have no idea how to do that or should i just bring it in.

I am going to pack the boat up and put it away this weekend.

I found some heated storage down the road from my house at a decent price and she will be the first boat in line on the way out.

Since the storage area is kept above freezing what do I need to do to keep the boat and motor in good condition till spring. Do I still need to get her winterized since she is going to be in heated storage?
