Welcome to the site So what ports do you fish? Have you fished my #1 port Frankfort and have you ever made it down to Muskegon yet. If you like to fish Muskegon check out the West Michigan fishing league and my other chairty tournamnet called the Dreamweaver and Big Jon chairty fun event and get signed up. This site is alot of fun and has alot of good times before every tournament I run at Fishermans landing. We like to have a few good outings before tournament time.... Glf has a tournament event to called the stinger Challenge.....you are welcome to come to any of them. Caznik

Must be nice your boss will fish with you, mine won't.. your a lucky man, Caznik Oh ya, nice spin doctor and I see you use the best riggers all around to. Big Jon Riggers #1

Caznik is to good to net fish, he lips them like bass on the side of the boat..... just kinding, in the back or where ever that fish like to get netted. Caznik

Ya I see what you mean but you think there is a member on the site that could be the main man to run such magazine because I know it would be to much work for you and keeping up with this site. You probly could get enough sponsors to run the magazine to so there would not be any cost for you and just maybe make a profite and better means for this site by people buying this magazine and seeing how much greater this site is. Man with 5 great lakes and member's from all around us there would be so much articles it wouldn't be funny. I'm sure Mike if you look around this year you could find the help and the right guy to run this magazine for ya. Rich

When using all four riggers. I use my inside ones deeper than the outside ones. But you can run them anyway you like to. When in my tournament or called fishing league, what I do is just run my outside riggers and not my inside ones to keep everything clear out of the middle to make it eaiser to net fish.(plus we have a 6 rod rule) I also use 12lb cannon balls to keep that cable as straight down as possible. The leads I will stagger till I find something that will work better. Most of the time I will set my lines back 35'- 50' depending on the depth of water you are in. In my 1700 fishermen lund I been out as far as 10 miles and that is if the waves are flat to 1'. The most important thing I learned was. Is to have a big enough moter to get you back in right away just incase it is calling for a storm. What I will use if I take out 3 fishermen counting me is. 4 Rigger rods, 2 dipsies, and 2 whatever color rods you like to use on the side with a offshore board. In my league events because we have to use six rods only. I will use 2 rigger rods, 2 dipies, and 2 whatever color rods you like to use on a offshore board. But depending on the fish, if they bite better on riggers I will pull 2 other rods out and run 4 riigers and 2 other kinds out. Hope this will help ya, Its kinda easier to see your boat and show ya what you can do. With your 18' lund you can run whatever anyway you would like to because your boat has plenty of room. Rich

Hey Mods and Member's I think Mike should start a Great lakes Fisherman Magazine and sell it in the stores. It would really bost this site if it had pictures of members from this site fishing or hunting. Also there is probly some members that can write some good articles on fishing the great lakes. Put in the fishing tournaments we have and all the outings. With all the members on this site all over the great lakes, it would be a pretty nice magazine. Who says Mike should geter done. Caznik

This how I set my 1700 fisherman lund. What I did was baught two walker 9" risers and then baught a piece of aircraft aluminum and made my own board. I like it this way because when netting a fish it seems to be alot safer when I can lean in to net a fish.

Well this year in the spring and summer time. If you like to I will take you out fishing there. Rich Ps- The fish are to small for a pitch fork, so you may have to just bring a dinner fork with ya and throw at them..

Ya tubes are much easier for me to and the heads seem to be a challenge for me. But anyways your flies look very good to me. Nice job, Rich

Terry, Friday night we caught all those fish where you sat at when you went with us. We tried it there again Saturday night and marked alot of fish bit they would not bite good. So I went hole to hole all day long to get my 16 fish. Rich

Well went out again tonight at Lower lake and caught only 25 with another guy from work. Marked a few fish but had to work very hard for them to bite. The hot bait tonight was wax worms on a black K&E ice hook. Ice is still very good out there so get out and go fishing before it gone. Rich

Hello Member's, Took a friend from work out ice fishing at the lake called Lower Lake. Fishing was very good and so was the nice weather. We started fishing at 4pm and caught 50 nice bluegills by 6pm. The hot bait was spikes and mousies with a yellow and orange ice hook. Looks like if the weather keeps on staying warm and it starts raining, there will be no more safe ice. The ice conditions are still good, but the ice is starting to melt away from shore. Better get out this weekend because it maybe the last time this year. Good luck to all, Caznik

There is still room for more to sign up... Caznik

I with you Mike, I am going to feel sorry for the guys that have to fill up at marinas because of gas cost. Lets just hope that everything will work out and gas will go back down to where everyone can afford going fishing again. Caznik

Hey Nailer, Is that true that the lake that you live on has alot of walleyes in it. Rich

Nice race Mike, If my main man only didn't blow his motor... Rich

Ya i see who you have now, but usally teams are side by side to see how the points differeces are. Rdfishing and mine are still up in my acount when it should be yours and mine. Just wondering rich

Mike, Has your week 4 started up for you yet. Mine has not and I don't even know who your drivers are? rich

Well I woke up at 5am to get ready for Dirty dog from this site and another guy named Drake from the MS site to come over to my house and go out ice fishing. When everyone got together we tried out Lawhead lake North of Barry Co. and make a big mistake by going there. First off the fish was not bitting good at all and hardly marked anything. I think our total fish that we ended up with out of three guys was only 15. The weather was very cold and the lake had lots of ice still on it. We all used wax worms, mousies, and spikes. Well when it turned to be 10:00am we decided to just go at my house and clean the fish and have some pizza before we went back out again to try another lake. 2:30pm: After eating pizza and eating what fish we caught, we decided to go fishing at Lower lake in Barry Co. Fishing was still very tough there to, with hardly any marks on the VEX. But as soon the sun started to go down the fishing got much better. Out of three guys we ended up with around 30 bluegills. The hot bait for me was mousies with a yellow and orange hook. There was also and fun time out fishing for about 15 minutes when Dirty dog had a pike on his ice pole on 2lb. test. He fought that fish for a long time before it finally broke off. I sure wish that he caught that pike because I liked of seen it. Well thanks Terry and Dave for fishing with me Saturday , it was very fun and you are all welcome to come again. good luck members if you can get out and ice fish, Caznik

Good luck guys, Looks like it will be Dirty dog from this site and Drake from the MS site. I am also going to meet my friend at the lake in the morning. I will give you all a fishing report tomarrow sometime. Good luck, Rich
