Hehe.....you should hear the stories he is telling about it at school. It was as big as he is Yep....he has been bitten by the salmon bug. Only one known cure for this. Take him out fishing again!

I use Church walleye boards. Those are the boards I was introduced to. I tightend the release down on them so they do not release. When fighting a fish, the board is brought up to the boat and pulled from the line. Then its nothing but the fish and you. Lead lengths will vary. Generally 50-100' behind the board will do. When running lead core, the baits will be further behind the board then that. Most people use an assortment of lead core on with their boards. ie....2 core, 3 core, 5 core , 8 core , or full core. Lots of people run 3 boards off each side of the boat. When running multiple boards per side, you will want to have your shortest lead on the outside and work in to the longest. ie...mono or 2 core on outside, 5 core(half core) in the middle, and full core closest to the boat. When running this way you can drop an outside line back in without having to pull one of the inner lines. Note: When running lead core lines with boards, do not attach the board to the lead core line. Attach your board to the backing after the lead core is let out. There is a weight on the bottom of the Church walleye boards that is adjustable. You should not have to adjust it when running mono or a half core, but you may want to adjust it when running a full core.

Thanks for the report. Nice to see someone getting the young ones involved. To bad the line broke. The fishing will only get better from here.

I have never had a shotgun with a field barrel throw a slug as good as this beretta. All I use are Winchester foster slugs in a 2 3/4" or 3" flavor. I believe it thows a slug better than a lot of the slug barrels out there. Maybe its just the shooter

Thanks for the report!

Yes that is a Beretta AL391 Urika Gold Throws an excellent slug also with a field barrel

They look like smelt to me.

Nice report, and to hear there are still some fish in Huron. Those look like smelt.

I am impressed. Those are a couple of nice fish!

Them look bigger than the fish I have seen Jim with so far this year. Maybe he is onto bigger fish now NIce job and thanks for the report.

Sounds like you had a great day on the water. Looking at your signature, I would say you have had a great year so far. Keep the reports coming in.

Alluminum is hard to weld. Glad to hear you got it fixed.

She is not very big, and I do not think she has any spurs. She has a nice beard for a hen. Speaking of bearded hens, did I tell you about the woman at..... My season starts the 17th. Hopefully I can get one for everyone to shoot for. Here is my bird from 2005. It had 11 1/2" beard and 1 1/8" spurrs. My son wanted in the picture also. He is going to be a fisherman and a hunter. Oh wait...his name is Hunter

Thanks for the report Matt!

Yes, it is New Buffalo. I took a drive down there yesterday and passes out a few cards

Glad you finally got it fixed. Now get out there and get fishing so you can post some fishing reports

I am curious to see who knows their ports. Who can tell me what port this is?

Does anyone have a set of plans for building a black light box?

I would encourage every charter captain to fill out their profile and to include their web page. If some one clicks on your name, they will be able to view your link to your web page. If you click on the members list, you will also see the web pages next to some of the usernames. How to fill out your profile: Click on "User CP" in the second navbar. This is the user control panel. Click on "Edit Profile". Enter your Home Page(your web page) and it would be nice if you filled out the "Additional Information" area. If you need help with anything, give me a shout.

Thanks for the heads up about the sand bar and for the report.

Two fine examples of one fisherman helping another fisherman. Way to go Shades and Reel Turner.

Yes, 2 1/2 colors.

Nice job Terry!

Fished out of St. Joe this morning with Heavy Action, ratcityhooker and another. We ended up 4 for 5. One shaker(I think this one was smaller than the one Six Shooter weighed in at the brown blast), 2 lakers and one coho. We lost one in a line tangle. Fishing was slow today from most of the radio traffic I heard. We caught the 2 lakers on a quarter core with an easter egg colored spoon. The shaker came on a double orange crush and the coho came on an orange and silver dreamweaver SS on a stacker line. I do not remember the color of the bait we lost the one on in the tangle. We started at the chalet and trolled down to cook. We worked from 26 - 45 FOW. There was a dozen or so boats around cook and a dozen or so around the piers. The buoys and the dredge around the piers could create quite the mess. Thanks for the trip Larry, Larry, and Gary.

With the river muddy, the fishing has slowed. Once the river clears up, try fishing for coho, brown trout and steelhead.
