GLF

We marked a lot of fish on the bottom, and never dropped a rigger that deep.

Was out there yesterday. See my fishing report.

Well....you guys would know better than I. I am just getting back into salmon fishing after a long stint of trash(bass) fishing The meat was pink. I did notice when I was cleaning them that the meat on one was a darker color of pink than the rest. Maybe that one was a coho and we ended up with 5 kings and 1 coho And to think we pulled lines because we thought we had our limit of one species Looks like I need to learn to identify my fish better. I will see if I can find a good fish identification chart to post on the site. Was still a great day on the water

The inside of their mouths was white.

Hmmmm....looks like I got everyone. Port Dalhousie St. Catharines, Ontario

Here is a land mark used for reference. Where am i?

DIRTY DOG took me fishing out of Saugatuck today. It was a spur of the moment trip, and we both left work after 1/2 day. We ended up 7 for 8, all coho. 30 - 65 fow seemed to be the ticket. We shut down in 70 fow and started setting lines. We trolled out to 110 fow before we had a hit. This was a coho that came on a Double Orange crush. We turned the boat South and continued on. I grabbed the next rod. It was a full core off a bird. This cohooo came on a Michigan Blue Berry. Sorry, no picture The next coho...and what a fish it was, came on a slider on a rigger set at 41 feet. We let this one go to be caught another day. I think this coho is smaller than Six Shooters! The next coho came on the other full core on another bird. I am not sure of what the name of this color is. The next rod that went off was a wire diver set on #3 with 248 loc. I have never seen this bait before, but it works The next coho came on another rigger, and I do not remember the depth nor color. Sorry...no picture either I grabbed the next rigger that popped and brought in another coho. This was set at 62 feet, and I believe the color is Hawg Wild. While I was resetting the rigger, the other wire diver beside me popped. This was on a #3 setting with 248 loc also. Terry grabbed it and brought in this coho. I am not sure of the name of this bait either OK....I might know the names of the spin doctors. Thanks for the trip DIRTY DOG!

Im working on it. I had to clean some fish

Welcome to the site Mark. I have never fished Frankfort, but I will soon.

I am thinking they hatched out. The egg shells are not scatterd all over the place like something got them.

I made it back from the pond and to chat.

Almost sounds like a cowbell set up.

I am not sure if I will make it to tonights chat. I am taking 1/2 the day off work and heading to the pond with DIRTY DOG. If the fishing is red hot, I will make it.

Nice article Steve! I have never ran cut bait and have a few questions. 1. How long do you run a cut bait, before you put on a fresh one? Or, do you never change the bait until you get a fish? 2. How long can you keep cut bait unfrozen before it goes bad? 3. Do you refreeze it if you do not use it?

Thats quite the outing you had. Just curious...What are you calling a "Thumper"?

Found it! All is well

It appears my youngest(21 Months) found my jump drive that I keep all of my log ins and passwords on. Yep...my paypal account is on it also. It is now lost in the house some where....I hope! There is a positive side to the story. I have a back up jump drive with everything on that. Unfortunately...its at work. So...if anyone finds a jump drive, please return it

The turkey is now gone All I found was broken shells. I had not checked the camera since the 11th. I checked it today to see what was on it. The last photos I got were from the 13th. Either the eggs hatched, and they moved on, or something got them.

Welcome to the Captain's Chair. Thanks for taking the time and doing an introduction.

I edited some posts, and deleted a couple of posts in a thread. If some one has a run of bad luck, I do not want it posted on the site. Think twice before you make a post. If something happened to you, would you want it all over the interent?

Thanks for the report Mike!

It is Canadian and Lake Ontario

A charter boat is not making a lot of money per trip. Gas is already $3.5 per gallon in marinas. Figure in the cost of the slip, insurance, tackle replacement, boat repairs/up keep, and the cost of the boat. Here is another way to look at this. Figure out what it would cost you to purchase, and equip your own boat. If you only used your boat a couple of times per year, it would be cheaper to pay for a charter than to own your own boat.

What number was on your banana? :D Nice Job Eric!

Very nice Mike. I am looking foreward to the FULL report!
