Welcome back Caz, good to see you again!

Judging by the responses I think I'll be looking for some Berkley big game 20# clear mono,thanks everyone.

I want to respool my rigger rods this year,so I was wondering what brand and size of mono everybody is using this year? So many choices.

I have four on my boat,sometimes I only use 3 and the fourth gets used for my probe.but I agree that a rigger rod is by far the most fun to catch a big fish on. But the number of down riggers I use at one time almost always depends on how many people are on the boat,and size of the boat is going to dictate how many people can fish from it. Just my opinion if any of it makes sense to you.good luck

We had a slow season as well,with some bright spots. I caught my first 30 pounder out of manistee,late in August.that was the same night my wife and I went out and caught seven fish and my 180 qt. Cooler was FULL with 5 fish #20 or more. I've met some new friends and had some good days on the lake. I'm not ready to winterize yet so we're gonna try to get out a time or two more yet........it's a long time until April.

We went one for six,I took out my friend Brian,his father-in-law,his brother -in-law,and his foreign exchange student from Korea,we might have done better with a little more experience on the rods.we lost a monster at the channel mouth,broke us off when he seen the boat. It was pretty slow for us.

turns out its gonna be a morning trip,maybe I can get by without it

Thinking of heading out tonight, out of Holland. Does anyone know where I can buy some herring strips on my way in there? Im coming from the grandrapids area.

blue smolt grean smolt agent orange flounder pounder cyclonite do-de-k mongolian beef dancing anchovie these are just some of the one's i have had success with,i think there are many more that work just as well.but there is already about $60.00 in that list

Went south to about a mile north of the point,and set up in 120 fow,went 7 for 7,one nice 7 pound steelhead and 6 kings.the largest was 30 pounds and the smallest was 18. The first 2 fish came on lemon ice spoon down 90 0n a trigger,2 came on a moonshine blue smolt 60 down,write paddle and green fly took one,full core with a Michael Jackson took one(steelhead,thank God),I don't remember what the last fish came on.A real nice nite on the lake,a big thanks to my wife Renee for going out with me.

Some nice fat piggies there!

Sounds like 7 color is the way to go,I had pretty much come up with the same thing but I was wondering what other thought.
