I went up to the U.P. a few years ago predator hunting. Everyone we spoke with in the U.P., told us to shoot any wolves we see. NOBODY in the U.P. likes them.

Welcome to the site Brian. I did 4 years in the Navy and was out before the first Gulf War. We look forward to swapping fish stories with you.

This is a moose. Imagine what they do to the whitetail population.

How do you get away with it? I only get away with it until the credit card bill comes in btw....Welcome to Great Lakes Fisherman!

I received these pictures in an email today. 7 wolves bring down a moose. The images were taken from a tree stand.

Just curious....How deep was the water you are fishing?

Thanks for taking the time and doing an introduction. We look forward to having you around.

Welcome to the site Ray! If you need any help with anything, let out a shout.

NY has been getting dumped on this year. Lots of run off in the spring.

Mike, I use the Fishing Report name when I post fishing reports. I do not have an answer for you.

Smart choices Dan. If more people would make decissions like this, there would be less accidents.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten......Sorry Rich....I ran out of fingers and can not count that high

I have my own boat now, I will be posting lots of reports this year.

Looks like I have to work till 3pm now. Anyone want to host this at their house?

Whats everyone's top 5 steelhead baits and colors?

Dont worry Jon. There will be plenty more questions. Thanks for all the help. The tournament thing is not new to me, just a different target species. When I fished semi professional bass tournaments, there were two groups of fisherman. The guys who collected pay checks, and the guys who were out to be with the guys. I preferred to be one of the guys who collected pay checks.

Does this include as a member of a team? For instance, say I am fishing a tournament as an AM and I have a charter captain as a member of my team. Do I still qualify as an AM or is that a gray area?

Speak for yourself. I had to clean up after it. Pike are really good eating.

When you are targeting steelhead, are you also dropping lines deeper to pick up Kings that may be underneath the Steelhead, or are these kings more likely to be smaller in size?

Hey Jon, I will be fishing the Big Jon Pro/Am at South Haven this year. Any help would be much appreciated. On the other note. There are some really good fisherman who fish on the AM side of these big tournaments. What classifies one as a PRO or AM? Are you allowed to fish the AM side if you are a licensed charter captain?

There is a lot of water to cover while prefishing for a tournament. Especially for a new guy. Veterans have been doing this for years, and already know what areas should be productive. Are you sharing information with other boats? How many other boats do you share information with? What sort of information are you sharing? ie....baits, colors, depths, GPS coordinates, speed, direction of troll.....

When targeting lake trout, what are you looking for? Bottom composition, structure, or other?

This can be for big tournaments, or club tournaments. It costs money to fish. It costs money to enter a tournament. If tackle is lost, it needs to be replaced. Every now and then, you get lucky and win some money? How do you split the entry fee, gas, and winnings?

If you are fishing in a big tournament, should you go after your king limit first, or trout? If you do go after kings first, and have your limit of kings, do you target lake trout or steelhead to complete out your limit for the tourney?
