Hello Everybody, Sign up for the 11th Annual Dreamweaver Charity tourney is now open. For those of you who have never heard of this tourney here is a little history. Years ago the West Michigan Fishing League started this tournament as a fun tournament where everyone has to fish with the same lures. It made it fun for guys just starting out. Whether you have a 16 foot tiller or a 30+ Tiara the playing field is leveled out for everyone. Included in your entry fee is a Captains Pack that includes your lures for the tournament. This will include spoons, a plug, spinnies, flies, whirly gig, and this year a meat rig along with a pack of meat strips. The Captains pack alone is worth well over the $75 entry fee. The tournament experienced so much success that back in 2008 we partnered with Benefit 4 Kids (B4K) and turned it into a Charity tournament. Over the past 10 years we have raised over $100K and sent 11 life limited kids and their families on outdoor adventures ranging from houseboat trips to Alaskan Brown Bear hunts! B4K and The Dreamweaver Charity tournament are 100% volunteer organizations. Every single dollar raised from the tournament goes directly to B4K This years tournament is again being held at Fisherman's Landing Campground in Muskegon Mi. Saturday July 28,2018. Please see the following rules on the tournament and how to sign up. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me or e-mail me at [email protected].

No flies

Whitehall 7-30 AM Fished 6-12 12 for 22 with 5 ho's 4 Steel 1 King 2 Lakers 100-160 fow. All presentations took hits. Hottest setup was std blue dolphin on a 150cu. 0 hits on any troll with S in it. Ended up about 7 miles N of the piers

There seems to be some confusion on that because in inland waters and streams that is how the regs read. On Lake Mi you can keep up to 5 per person in any combo no more than 3 of any one species except king,coho,pink. You can keep 3 lake trout in MM6-8 which is basically Arcadia south to Indiana. 2 per person North of there. So yes you can keep 5 trout

PS 7-25PM Took my son out for the first time since early June. Lines down at 5:30 up at 9:30. 4 for 8. 3 kings 17,15,4 lbs and a 5lb greaser. Lost a small steel on a free slider at the back of the boat and 3 hit and runs on a meat rig down 65-75. Crazy as the meat was gone or tore up each time so I know it wasn't false releases. 90-100fow is where we took all our hits. Free slider on a rigger 52 down 2-3 Blue paddle blue head meat rig down 65-75 0-3 Dipsey out 150 meat rig 1-1 Dipsey out 150 SD w/ squid 1-1 Great night with no flies and no fleas

Nicely done. FYI limit on Steel is 3

Yup there is room to park along side the road across from the launch. Used to be quite common when the launch was a lot busier years ago.

That is exactly why I run 30lb big game. My riggers are almost always one of my more active setups so I don't think the larger line has any ill effects on bites.

Nice job. My son and I did a quick mid afternoon trip. Kind of a low stress training trip for him getting to run the boat and all the lines. As we were leaving the dock around 930 a guy was coming in solo with 5 fish. Said he was in the 145 area. Motored out there and bumped around the different slicks marking a good amount of fish but no takers. Finally picked up a shaker on a jawbreaker free slider down 45. Around 1230 we took a nice 11lb king on a stinger Invite down 62 on a rigger in 125fow. Spoon has been my king killer this spring. While landing him we got the slider caught in the kicker prop so I called it a day. When we arrived at the launch in the AM I smelled that awful grease burning smell of smoked bearings. Lucky it had got us to the launch. Of course all my tools were at the house so after we pulled the boat I drove 40 min to Grandville trailer with the hub and they got it set back up in 5 minutes. Long day for 3 hours of fishing but the boy got some much needed practice and I was pretty happy with how much he had retained from past trips
