My cannonballs have two eyelets. One on top, and the other on the tail. Has anyone ever attached a Dodger or spinner to the rigger ball as an attracter? I have my releases on the cable above the ball. What I was thinking of doing was putting a 12" piece of cable between the release and the ball, hooking the dodger to the eye on the tail with a 6" leader, then running a spoon 5' - 15' or so behind the release. What do you think?

I have never had to expierence this. I can only imagine what you are going through.

Bump.....I still have 2. After they are gone, I will not be selling any more.

Anyone up for fishchat?

Nice to hear the harvest is going well!

I have seen 14' flat bottoms with 25hp on Lake Michigan. Like Lead Lover said " Pick your days and error on the safe side." If you are going to venture out onto the lake, make sure you have the necessary safety equipment, including a marine radio(hand held will do).

What length are you using?

Whens Sporty going in?

I am looking for a new net for my boat. Any recommondations?

After work yesterday, I went up to Muskegon and met Tinman6 at the boat to hook up my fish finder. After it was hooked up, we headed out on the lake to try our luck. We set lines around 5:00pm at the end of the inner pier. The wind had been blowing out of the South/Southwest. Once we hit the outer pier, we turned North and followed the pier into the sand bars. We had 3 boards off each side of the boat. We put the boat in between the first and second sand bar and went North past the bath house, then turned around trolled the same path back to the end of the pier. By then it was 6:20 and I had to get going. There was 4 other boats fishing between the arms. The water temp on the lake 45.2 and in the brown water around the piers it was 47. Next time out, I will get to spend some more time on the water and get the kitty out of the boat.

No problem. You need to click on the picture of the mountain(insert image) instead of the globe(insert link) to add images. I love seeing pictures of kids with fish! I am going to test out my 5(will be 6 in July) year old auto pilot this year. If he does not work out, I may have to put the 2 year old behind the wheel

Great day on the water! Thanks for posting the pictures with your report!

Thanks for the report Rich! It wont be long and you will have the boat in the water.
