Welcome aboard John. Thanks for taking a minute and doing an introduction! I am in the process of redoing the walleye section, so a few things may get moved around.

AWESOME Jay! :thumb:

I am always open for ideas on how to make this website better. If there is something you would like to see added to it. let me know and I will consider it. Thanks, Mike

The walleye section has been need of some up grading. I am in the process of redoing the walleye section. I am moving all of the Saginaw Bay and other walleye fishing reports to this section. Once this is reorganized it should be easier to navigate. This will keep the walleye and the salmon sections seperate. I should have it wrapped up in the next couple of days.

Looks just like an NBK, but only orange instead of green. This is one of my favorites on a gold hammered blank in May.

I have two 32" bags made by Amish Outfitters. Having twins, my boat trolls slow enough when using one engine. I will use the bags when the waves are bigger for better boat control.

90% of the spoons I pull are Stingray size. NBK Mixed Veggies Killer Dolphin Orange Killer Freakin Veggies Lemon Ice Cory's Bait(green) Crag's X-mas 11" Hotchip 11, Double Pearl Fishscale with Siggs Rigs Brushed Stainless trophy fly 8" Prochip 8,Blue Bubble with Siggs Rigs Blue Mist trophy fly.

Its hard to get a good troll in 3-4' waves.

Nice pictures Ken. Thanks for sharing!

Nice job guys!

Nice job under the circumstances. I fished in the channel last year in Muskegon and gave up after a one trip through the channel because of all the weeds I hade to keep clearing. Any size to the brown trout? Is it common to catch brown trout in the bay?

I would only like to go back 20 years in time.

I do not know how every spoon manufacturer paints their spoons. This is what I know about the painting process of most spoons. We need to understand the painting process of spoons, to understand why the paint comes off. Spoon companies purchase most of their blanks already plated. This is usually a copper, gold, or silver plating. Paint does not adhere well to the blanks that are plated. Not all blanks are plated. Spoons that are not plated and will be fully painted will use a brass blank. Paint adheres better to brass. Usually they will use a self etching white primer before they paint the spoons. Etching helps the paint adhere to the metal. After the spoons are primered and dried, they are painted. NOTE: Not all spoons are primered. A spoon that is fully painted will keep its paint the longest. None of the dolphin colored, or translucent spoons are primered. This is why they have the worst problem with paint coming off. Paint adheres better to smooth finish spoons than it does to hammered finish spoons. To my knowledge, Stinger is the ONLY company that will repaint their spoons. They charge $1.00 for the repaint. Stinger spoons are the lightest spoons on the market. Because of the light weight of their spoons, you can troll them slower than any other spoon. You can still troll them at speeds of 4.5 and greater. I have had some of their spoons get bent while catching BIG fish. After the fish was unhooked, I straightend the spoon back out, put it back in the water, and caught more fish on it!

LOL

There's a tail light out on the DIRTY DOG! Looks like the dog just ran away from home! Have found another dog yet, or are you still looking?

Nice job guys! The lake does not look as bad in Holland as it was in Muskegon last night.

Nice video Dennis.

After seeing the weather forecast for this weekend, and seeing the forecast for last night, I decided to get off work 2 hours early and get the last trip of the year in. NOAA was calling for 10-20mph winds out of the East with 1-3' waves. When we got up to the boat the flags were sticking straight out from a strong South West wind. We new it was not going to be 1-3' waves for us. We hit the pier heads and motored out in the 2-4/5' waves to 95FOW and set lines. It wasnt long after we were set up and we were hooked up with our first fish. This was a nice steelhead. It came on a full core with a Stingray sized Corys Bait. Here is a video of Roy catching the steelhead. tUefTsf-v3Y About dark, we picked up 3 more fish to end the night. One was on a Stingray sized NBK on a rigger parked at 55'. Another one on the full core with the Stingray sized Corys Bait. One on a 6 color core with a Stingray sized GLF. We ended up 4 for 4. We had to keep the shaker because it was hooked to deep. Greg(Moosky31) was a little hungry and could not wait to put some mustard sauce on it. Thanks for coming along Greg and Roy!

Nice job Dave.....but the 22nd is tomorrow.

Nice season Jim. I think you need to make one more trip to top the 300 mark and end the season with a bang!

That one worked!

Looks like you have a nice place to hang your stocking this winter Robert. Nice job!
