Welcome to the site Brian. We've got a good group of people here that can help out in many ways.

Another has turned from the "dark side". Welcome to the site Ryan!

Sorry to hear about the employment issue Dave. Just remember there is a reason for everything, even if we don't know what it is. I'm looking forward to the insites and information you'll be sharing with us here at GLF. Welcome to the site Dave.

Guys. You teach people rules and attempt to right the wrongs that occur everywhere but you still can't fix stupid. Sometime you just have to be a duck and let it roll off your back.

I know, I know. Things slow down a little and we have to find other ways to amuse ourselves. It's cool. I laughed when I read it.

Sorry Andy They are not tx 44's. Come on Don, I'm just trying to do the right thing. Ya wiseinhiemer!

I have an 8'6" GL roller rod if you are interested. Still in plastic with tags on it. Only have one though.

Sorry Kevin they are not yellowbirds.

Got out to do a little fishing with my brother tonight. We started out at 6:15in 110 fow trolling WSW out to 180 fow. Nothing. Trolling back in we ended up with a huge tangle between the 300 copper and the dipsy on a reset. After untangling the two, we finally got a full spread in the water and took a hit in 120 fow followed closely by a second one in 117 fow. Both were deep and off riggers 105 and 90 dn. Pulled lines 2 for 2 at 8:45. Sounded slow all over Grand Haven tonight. Here's what worked: rigger dn 105 green splatterback Ace Hi 120fow 50 back- 13# King rigger dn 90 white paddle BW Chili Fly 117fow 10 back- 8# Coho Water temp was 68 degrees 90 feet down, and speed was 2.1-2.3 at the ball. Lots of empty boxes tonight, but it was nice to get out from a few hours. Keep Em' Tight

Found- 2 in line planer boards off Grand Haven MI with no contact info. They do have small but distingushing marks on them. Id them and they will be returned. PM, email, post your inquiries. Email- [email protected]

Nice job Buster! Sounds like it was a fun day.

Hey John, When are you noticing the tangle? If you are poping the dipsy to change plugs or bring in at the end of the day, it might be coming up into your lines then. A 2 setting can really bring your dipsy way off the boat. I know I run mine close to the boat, dipsy at 1.5 and my board out from the boat maybe 50-60ft. Other lines of boards another 20-25ft outside of that. There have been times when I pop the dipsy that it comes up just inside my board. It could also be the currents are moving the lines together. You can always try a greater distance between those lines. Just a thought.

**************Rod holder sold ************** One reel sold One reel remaining

sale pending for rod holder Reels still available

I have two Magda 20's w/ line counters for sale. They were used as light line salmon rigs for about 1 season. They are 5.1:1 and these have Tuna Tom's carbon fiber drag upgrades.The drags were changed right out of the box. The one is spooled with red 12# test line. Each have the walleye handle still sealed in plastic. Couple rub marks on the reels up by the counters, but both are in excellent mechanical condition. $35 each + shipping I also have a Dotline rod holder. Don't know the model # but it clamps to a rail. It has a spacer to fit smaller rail diameters that can be removed for larger ones. I know it fit my 7/8" rail but I dont know what other sizes it would fit. The tube is metal the base is plastic. $10 + shipping I'll be in the Grand Haven, MI area till the 19th of Aug. if you would like to meet instead of shipping. I'll be back in IL after that. Shoot me a PM or [email protected] Thanks

Welcome Dave!

I've had a few people ask about this manual through PM's, so I gave it to Mike(GLF) to post on the site. I believe that Mike(Yooperdad) sent it to me several years ago. Here is the link if anyone else needs it. SubTroll Manual

Ran out to 100 fow with the rest of the armada, although I did start north of the stack. Ran wsw then ene. Best water was 110-120 down deep. Went 4-5, with the fifth being a bit of a surprise. 4 kings 5-13lbs and a 1lb perch Dragged him in clearing lines, all 3 hooks in his mouth, go figure Anyways here's what worked Sigg's Brushed Stainless behind a chrome blue SD on DR, 100 dn- 3 fish Green splatterback ace hi 50 back on DR, 90 dn-1 fish 1 miss Here's the weird one- UV blue veggie on 10cl- 1 perch Started setting lines at 6:20 and had two fish before line were all in. All the hits came with in an hour 15 mins. Lake started getting bumpy, so headed in around 10. Good Luck and Keep Em' Tight

Been fishing in the BWCA in MN for the last few weeks, but heading to Grand Haven today. What's the black fly and sea flea status? Still need to run the flea flicker or can I break out my light lines again?

^^^^ What he said

Way to whack em Bill!

I put a 150 together 2 years ago and it has been one of my hottest rods since. I have 2 @ 300, 250, 150.

Here are directions for posting pics. Click Here

Didn't try it do to 2 ships entering/leaving port yesterday. Also we pulled lines and were in the channel before the sun hit the water. We saw the boats fishing shallow but as we came through the area there was nothing that jumped off the screen saying they were going to be shallow. I later heard that 2 were caught between the arms but the bite was not fantastic. Personally, I'm glad we went deeper.

Is that like hitting for the cycle????
