Ben

Yep Steve good eye 6-23:lol: but yes to your question Port Austin side of the reef was my target but I was marking a lot of fish where I was, the strategy to my trip was start deep becuase the time I was going 3:00pm and work my way in to the thinner water as the sun came down, If you have a chart map plotter you can see the fastest drop off on the reef thats where I always head in the after noon, in the morning I aways go to the PA side of the reef setup in 80fow and work NE in and out troll:thumb: PS I hope this answers your questions I will be up there fishing on the weekends in the time frame you there, If you see a blue and white 22' starcraft offshore hard top with Great Lakes fisherman decals on it that looks like a porkypine give me a shout @ Kingchaser. on 68

After having being asked many times if a charter at the marina in Port Sanilac as there is not one there,! I was thinking maybe I should get in on this for next year and get certified to be a captain, and do some weekend trips or not just let somone else beat there head off the wall:D I"am looking at buy a 26' boat also by fall found a realy good one.

Nice job Dave:D great story too. them guys will be hooked for life now:cool: they'll just need to take fire drill lessons now to be ready for the next trip:thumb:

Jake, we are heading out right now at Thomas rd, see ya

Frank, 4 of my buddys went this Am and got 4 man limit by 1:00 pm out of sunset in the slot, a lot small fish and junk fish also:eek: I'am going this weekend as long as mother nature gets up on the right side of the bed:rolleyes:

I change mine every spring, and have one on the boat all the time just in case:thumb: I have had to change it on the water before;)

. on the Eyes Frank, Yoy got to love it went a plan comes together, and now you most likely want them rods back:D, I have had them bucking pretty good this year and they are holging up well;). Keep the fish and reports comming:)

I just got around to putting the speed & temp cable on the scotty down rigger that was on my cannon rigger and the bead will not go thru the spring all the time with out catching the spring and bending it, I remember a post on how too correct this but can't find it:confused: or do I just not use the stop bead and watch it;) Thanks Guys:thumb:

Mike, Just a thought check the vent on the side of the boat that its not plugged with something like mud dobber, had that happen to me when I left the boat over on the west side for a week, then maybe try a new pc. on gas line to the engine coupler, I have seen a hose colapes and restrick the flow, hopefully it something simple:thumb: Good luck Mike:cool: I've been in that same gig before.

Sweet:thumb: You got her looking good, next will be fish and gutts and beer cooler:lol:

I heard there was Eyes in there;) the next time ya go to HB I take my boat, you hook-em I'll net for ya:D:lol: Good job:thumb:

They seemed to work great:thumb: they are sure fast going down:eek: but I'am getting the hang of them, we was only in 20-25fow so not a real good test but when I get working the bottom for Lake Trout later they will be nice:D Thanks Tony;)
