I think your right about the snow. Now with some warmer temps, it will get worse. I would stay off the lakes until after another real cold spell.

the coating vs. Lack of is hey imo. I pretty much use a mix but mostly uncoated rounds. I have liked the pancakes until the fin gets bent. Some though bend them on purpose and some come that way, to get away from the boat. You will get a bunch of opinions. Experiment and use what you like. You can always adjust for blowback, other than that the fish dont care. That's all that counts !

Nice catch ! The fish gods rewarded you for the payback, on the truck situation.

well I'll be the first biter, no pun sorta. I only like smoked fish with a rare exception of one on the grill-probably once every couple years. I fish with a lot of newbies that want them and throw a lot back. That said if you are worried about the amount of fish you are eating due to chemicals etc. ?? If so those spring Coho are too young to have accumulated any. I think a mature king would be ok also. A long lived steel or brown I may question. A long lived lake trout would be my last choice, as they grow slower. More time for contamination. With the gobies' the Lakers are growing faster, so I would really only be concerned about a real big one.

this is a disgrace. Total bs from the DNR. Makes me so mad I can't even go into more detail. Need new boat . Big decision is go the bass/ walleye route now or later ??

I'm not sure where I stand here, also the first I've heard of it. If I have it right the DNR puts tags that are worth money on some fish ??

we are stuck with the, DNR bullshit assessment . Of the fishery

I have not saw it personally but have heard it from someone I trust very much. If a king is laying near bottom I can see them chowing on gobies. Big fish eat little fish plain and simple. Nobody told them they are only supposed to eat alewives. Just like nobody told the ones in the ocean only eat herring dont eat those orange shrimp.

All states need to get their head out of their ass. Fisherman lakeside are reporting good numbers of bait and large healthy Coho and kings.

never been on one myself. Think they have a good reputation. That said any boat can have problems. I was looking at a couple on CL. So will be awaiting the reply 's with you.

how did they contact you ? Know you personally? I couldn't find a way to do it at all.

now it wont post my reply to the spoon pusher. Is this site just having issues or going to hell or both ? Never a problem on gla.

nice king. I tried viewing this many times as well as other posts. It would just go back to the original list and not let me view it. Thought it may be my phone. Saw a very small number of views so thought others were having a problem also. Could not find a way to contact the site or moderators???. Even now only 47 views in 21 hrs.

someone better show this to the mi DNR with our money and kings exchanged for the frogs ! Dont get pulled by a slightly better year. We are still in deep doo doo with no solid plan or answers from mi DNR. They are falling into puppets following the fed lake trout.

love this !!

I think it would be up to the co then ultimately a judge or magistrate. I think they may decide its not legal based on how far you gonna take it. Lets say you throw back a maker that floats and decide to take it after all. Well the fish was legally hooked. Was being the key word. Arguments could be made for both sides. Interesting question.
