Nice fish and a pig of a laker, you're continuing to make me jealous that I put the boat away two weeks ago! Keep the reports coming for the rest of us Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Grand Rapids, MI

I've decided to break up the lot based on interest in doing so. The trolling bags, torpedo weighted steel, yellow birds, line spool case, rod butt caps, lure covers, and two big weenie flashers are all sold pending funds. Once payment is received for these I will update the lot with remaining items. Thank you to everyone for the interest thus far!

Hello all, Just put the boat away last week and in putting away my tackle I've decided to clear some things out, all of it is in new or like new condition. $200 shipped CONUS. Includes the following: Flashers - (2) 10" Big Weenie (Spotted Dick Glow, and Playin in Playa UV), (3) 8" Coho dodgers, (1) Chrome Size 0 Luhr Jensen Dodger (2) 15" Amish Outfitters Buggy bags - already rigged with ropes, only used twice and then sat in the boat for the rest of the season, just not big enough for my rig. Snubbers - (6) Dreamweaver 12" Ripcord and (2) 12" Scotty Downrigger heavy duty Planer Boards - (3) Port and (3) Starboard Yellow Birds painted fluorescent orange, no clips will need to add your own Line - (1) 5 Color leadcore and (1) 200' 45lb Torpedo Weighted Steel Releases - 2 sets of Offshore heavy tension downrigger stacker releases which is really 4 releases in total, (2) Big Jon Otter Releases (6) Stinger Dive Bombs - 1oz (10) Amish Outfitters lure covers - great for keeping lures on the rod when storing at the end of the day and preventing tangles (1) Plano line spool case, holds 6 spools of line (12) Shimano Talora rod butt caps for gimbal butts - I just don't need these, never used came off the rods I purchased this year

It's a steelhead, just had been in the box for a while at that point, and it was a pig! Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

We had 56deg on the surface and 55deg on the bottom in 100FOW. No temp break to speak of but the bait was there. Forgot to mention that the steel were all full of baby ales about 2" long, nice to see that. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Not sure as I'm not a duck hunter, the boat of guys we traded with passed us and went all the way out to 200FOW they said but they shot the 4 they got in 50' towards the evening.

Storing the boat on Tuesday so we took advantage of the great weather and headed out Sunday afternoon for the last trip of the year and ended on a high note. The plan was to drop in at 100FOW and head West until we found them, but we ended up never needing to leave the 95-105FOW range. Had lines in the water from 2-6pm and finished 12 for 17 with 7 steelhead, 3 shaker kings, and 2 lake trout; we lost another laker at the back of the boat and several high flying steelhead. N/S troll, 2.6-3.2 SOG, straight out and a touch north of the pier heads. We marked more fish and bait than any other trip this year, tons of marks and large mounds of bait as long as we were straight out from the piers, the marks dried up N or S of the pier heads. Also traded a steelhead for a couple ducks at the launch on the way out. Here's what worked: 25' Copper - Stinger Steelie Stomper (Hot) 50' Copper - Stinger Red Pepper (Hot) 75' Copper - Stinger Red Pepper (Hot) 100' Copper - DW Green Dolphin 200' Copper - Stingray UV Mixed Veggie 250' Copper - DW Green Dolphin Rigger @ 40' - Magnum DW Blue/Green Dolphin Rigger @ 85' - DW Blue/Green Dolphin Low Diver out 100' - Magnum Silver Streak Super Screw Low Diver out 100' - Magnum Happee Meal High Diver out 120' - Stingray UV Green Dolphin Unbelievable end to the season. Until next year....

Awesome job, wish we would have made it out today Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Yeah the wind started to kick up a bit after the sunset, you could tell it was going to pick up. Were you able to fish this morning? Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

Had lines in the water from 5:45-8pm last night and managed to go 3/3 plus a catfish that hit a Happee meal spoon on a 150 copper in 150FOW. We fished straight out and South, best water was 160-175FOW on a NE troll, 2.2 at the ball. Water warmed up quite a bit out there with surface temps around 67deg and 50deg down 50-60ft, it warmed slightly outside of 130FOW. Here's what worked: 300' copper on stern planer out the back of the boat - magnum modified blue dolphin - 2lb laker 75' copper - Stinger UV jäger bomb - 8lb steelhead Low diver out 120' - magnum Happee Meal - 8lb King October nights don't get much better than last night.

It definitely helps, not 100% necessary but improves the odds Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app
