Just Hook'n

She looks very very happy. Nice work out there.

Thanks for posting Jay and GREAT pics. Had an absolute BLAST with you guys out there. WOW those Z boards pull. Thanks to everyone that participated in the tourney. I just wish Terry would have shared his brown with us. JK. HAHAHAHA.

WAY TO GO boys. Nice work out there in less than idea conditions. Very glad you won the event.

It was a rough weekend and if you felt like a stranger on the radio it was because there was a tourney going on. Typically people are much more talkative when there is not money on the line. But, hey, that's fishin. Some times you can really do well when others are struggling, sometimes it is the other way around.

C U out there Friday Steve. Jay has pretty much covered it. We got a little delayed due to weather (SN*&*) predictions for Thursday. We'll have the boat parked at Pier 33 Friday night. Stop on by for some barley pops.

Great pics. Nice work out there.

Way to go. That is awesome. I have tried to get my nephew out, but the few times we have tried it was pretty rough and didn't go well. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Not yet. We still have it out and will trailer to brown blast in St Joe this weekend. After that, we may drop it in Port Sheldon.

Welcome to the site. That is a pretty nice upgrade on boats.

Nice work katrina. Glad you had a good experience in St joe. I hope you come down for the brown blast. It is a cheaper tournament to enter and should be a lot of fun. It will be my first time at the actual brown blast, but I got a real good chance to get to know a lot of the boats last year in tournaments and I'm really looking forward to it. The brown blast will give you a good idea of what smaller to mid size tournaments are all about. Hope to see you there.

Great cross section of fish. Nice work.

NICE WORK. Man I love the ho's.

Nice work Stevo. Thanks for the report.

I was REALLY happy to pick up the one small laker we did. I don't know about you, but we marked a lot of fish, but nothing was really working.

I hope you are putting that brown on the wall. PRETTY fish.

Nice work Terry. Great to have some familiar faces on the lake that far south. It was cool to hear you, Phil and others on the radio again. FINALLY SPRING.

Mike, thank you so much for having me on the trip. It was awesome.

Way to go Ken. Looks like you made lemonade out of lemons (the weather).

Nice work. That looks cold.

Got the shake down trip out of the way on Sunday in Holland. Was joined by my father and Jay dog (Iceman08). thanks Jay. Your help was greatly appreciated. Caught one lousy laker. thought it was a decent fish as the mouth must have been WIDE open on the way in. as soon as it broke the surface it was obviously smaller than we thought. But hey, we didn't get skunked.

Welcome aboard, there will be several fisherman from the site in St Joe this weekend I'm sure. just holler on the radio and someone will give you a hand. Being from Cedar Springs, where you do normally call home port?

NICE work man. That looks liek she is ready to go. how is OHIO?

OMG that is great fish porn for this time of year. GREAT job guys.

Moosky you lucky dog. Shake down trips are soooo exciting because everying is jacked up. AND you caught fish. NICE work Mike and crew. My turn tomorrow.

I use the Walleye boards with the stainless pin. Aaron sells them at Lakeshore Outfitters in Saugatuk and I think I may have witnessed them at D&R as well, but I am not sure. I have yet to change out the clips, but I think I am going to go with the clips with the pin in the middle. The way we use our boards, we never want them to release. Also, I'm modified my lines when using boards. I tie an extra swivel and a glass bead about 3-4' in front of my lure so that if a board does slide down, it does not knock the fish off.
