tracker targa

to the north rockport or presque ile are good laker areas with occasional kings or steelhead harriseville or oscoda for lots of lakers and sometimes decent steelhead rogers city mid to late summer fishery has been improving for a mixed bag

st clair is pretty slow right now and probly will be for another 2 weeks lexington and sanilac can be decent but its real hit or miss

ok so i decided im gonna rig up some some copper rods im buying the 1000 spool of 32 pound what should i use as my backing and any reccomendations for reels or rods or lengths i should setup im thinking a 300 and a 400 thanks any info appreciated

i use a leader spool and put the rubber band around the top cicle to keep it from unraviling

im looking to add copper this year im going to the show ill check it out

hi guys i am mostly a lake huron guy but the past couple of season when time allows i have been fishing the port sheldon and holland area and i really love it i have a 17 foot boat and its usually just me and my girlfreind we usually run core divers and riggers this year im looking into copper anyways is there any structure in that area i havnt noticed much i usually just search for fish and do pretty good all i catch is kings which is ok but was wondering does anybody target steelhead or lake trout in may june or july and what depths are you looking for any info is appreciated thank you

thanks alot guys and nailer thanks for the advice im definantly looking to target that 70 to 90 foot range do you guys run flasher fies off copper or mainly spoons

im not sure how much im thinking 300 or 350 with a good amount of backing just trying to get gear setup while i have the time recovering from my first surgery i dont have any experience with copper approx how deep will a 45 pound 350 copper get me im thinking of swapping out my leadcores off boards with copper for midsummer kings

hey guys i would like to try copper this year does anybody have any set ups loaded with copper and backing to for sale thanks ali

good job guys i looked forward to next year also i think i only skunked onceif you didny get your boat in super early you didnt miss much the fish showed up later in the season

was just wondering how everone did this season personally for me i did better this year than the past 3 or 4 i only landed 3 kings all season from that are but good numbers of lake trout and steelhead along with some coho and walleye i started slow in early spring aroung sanilac and didnt do to great the first few trips then moved up to hb and did well till about july then toward end of july i started fishing sanilac again and was suprised the fishing was rather good till i got sick in fall

hello i have been on this site for a few months but havnt posted much do to abdominal surgery im 24 years old and have been salmon fishing for about ten years i used to fish with my grandpa until his heath went bad and he sold his boat three years ago i bought a 16.5 foot tracker targa it fishes well as usually me and one other person go out i mainly fish port sanilac or harbor beach thats were we used to fish when the salmon fishing was good but i still catch enough fish i also make a few trips over to the westside around the port sheldon area and have done good i run two riggers two divers and boards with leadcore i stoped fishing in early september because i was having problems with my chrones disease this past month i neede surgery and now hav a illestomy bag however the doctors say they will reverse it in three months and i plan to be back fishing in full force in the spring and am alwals looking for a partner to help me out tight lines and god bless name of boat is second chance name is ali

yea all is gettn fixed it wasnt to bad hoever just fortunate to be able to fish and my buddy reeled them all in

was quite interesting got up at 4am hooked ur the boat and noticed tail light were out trailer light were out and windows would not roll down on truck wasnt very happy so we messed around trying to fix it till 6am to no avail finally made it up to sanilac at 8am didnt wanna drive to hb since we were already late we left harbor and were greeted with steady 3 footers and a occasional 4 and 5 not very pleasant in a 17 footer just after surgery started to setup in 80 foot of water 30 min later 75 down in 85 foot got a 4 pound coho on a mag green dolphin then about another 20 min later 65 down in 90 foot took a 7 pound laker on a mag watermelon continued to troll into the waves and turned south again same depth took a nice 8 pound steelie then the lake died right down and so did the fishing trolled a hour and a half for the next hit which was a big fish ten colors of lead purple and silver jplug lost it leadcor snapped line must have been damaged then about another hour went buy dipsey on a 3 setting 150 back mt dew spin doctor and a silver gfly started bouncing lost after a miute fished till 215 and headed in so 3 for 5 not great but good to get out

thanks alot guys im gonna try sanilac this time due to it being closer my small boat and the forcast plus the wound on my stomach is still a little soar even though i like to fish harbor beach better

hey guys been outta commision for a while do to surgery and work has anybody fished these ports or have any info as to where to start anything would be appreciated and i will report my findings when i return thank you
