Good to have ya back!

That's a fine pile of tackle Tim!

I had that same spinny for a while this year, unfortunately a king wanted if for himself. I may have to find a few more for next year.

Looks like a nice day on the water Josh, nice job on the fishing! If ya need another friend next time to help switch out baits let me know I'll come fish with ya. LOL

Nice work Mike!

Nice work on the darkies captain, thanks for the report.

Good job in the tough conditions Ken. Looks like the lake wasn't much nicer over by you guys this weekend.

The weather took some of the fun out of it this weekend for sure. Other than the rain it wasn't to bad when we were going North, going South was a different story.

Headed out with a few friends yesterday morning with the intention of running out to the bank. I knew it was supposed to be a bit bumpy but when we got out to the light house the waves ended up being a bit rougher that I had hoped. So I made the decision to turn around and head out to the Green Bay side and try our luck out there. The other guys on the boat seemed happy to make the turn, they looked pretty nervous when the waves started spraying over the bow. We put down in about 80 FOW on a North troll, shortly after it started raining and did not stop all morning. We took our first hit in 85 FOW on a dipsy 160 back with a white paddle and a blue glow fly, a small king. We would take two more fish on three hits on riggers on the morning. A rigger trolled tight to the bottom with a chartreuse paddle and a Oceana fly took an 8# king and a miss. Our last fish, another 8# king, came on a rigger with a chrome flasher and a hypnotist fly parked at 75. We have not put in any time fishing on the Green bay side out of Sturgeon Bay so I was happy to put a few fish in the boat.

Nice work on the mixed bag Jim! That little guy from Thursday night must have had quite the appetite.

Nice looking setup RJ!

That's fine, just thought I would throw it out there. We used to make snowboarding videos every winter but we no longer have time for it. Besides that, I'm not sure I could get my wife to go out and shoot video for hours on end in the cold anymore.

Wow, I'm surprised it still works at all! If you are looking for another camera down the road my wife is trying to sell ours. It is a Cannon GL2 with accessories.

Looked like a fun morning Jeff! How did your camera like all the moisture in the air?

Good job finding a few in tough conditions Josh.

Light line rods for the rigger like Matt said would be a good choice too. I ran a rigger rod with 14# on it just about every trip with good success. .

Yea I think I would go with more wires and braids. Maybe get a couple torpedo setups. There are lots of applications where you could use braid.

Welcome to GLF Matt, good to have another WI guy here!

If you have them turned out you should have plenty of clearance. If you run the riggers strait back off the corners you may have issues depending on how you boat is set up and how much beam your boat has.

Way to go Kevin! A buck would be a male.

Welcome to GLF Dan! Which port do you fish out of?

We headed out to give it a shot again Monday morning, after the results we had the day before I was not real optimistic. As we reached the end of the ship canal we were greeted with the distinct swell of skunk, not good. We set lines at 5:30 and headed North for our first pass up the bank, and for the second day in a row we failed to take a hit on the first pass. At 7:30 we finally took our first hit and got the skunk out with a nice 14# king. After we boated that fish we spun around and gave it a few more passes and boated one more king in that area. Both of those fish hit a dipsy back 160 with a white 11 paddle and a green glow fly. At 9:00 we took our third and final fish on a 200 copper with a glow J plug. By 10:00 the wind ad started to pick up so we decided to call it a day going 3 for 3. All three fish came on North trolls going 2.4 SOG in 120 to 140 FOW. Its looking like next weekend is going to be my last chance to get out and do some fishing so hopefully the wind will give us a break and the fish will start turning on over the week.

Way to go Jim!

And now we are going to get hit with another big W, NW blow. At least the water can't get mixed up anymore than it is already is.

Taking a new boat out for the first trip can be an exciting time, have fun RJ! Hopefully the weather cooperated for you. The first time we took our new boat out we had 5'ers, it was a short trip.
