  1. Nice smorgasbord of Trout there Terry
  2. Thanks for the update Steve.
  3. very cool u 2
  4. Interesting stuff there. Welcome to the site John.
  5. My BIL just paints his, and has good results.
  6. Very nice, and welcome to the site.
  7. Welcome aboard Jared
  8. Good stuff there Brian. Thanks for adding this. Pike are some of the best tasting fish the great lakes has to offer.
  9. We went all in with Blood Run a few years back. I have never noticed any memory issues.
  10. I stopped by and talked with Greg, and Joel Saturday. My first impression when looking at it was; it's not much thicker than the current 45#. What it has is a much tighter twist. This means more density/ more depth. I have a roll coming, and will report back as soon as posible. If the water gets as warm as last year, this stuff could really be a game changer.
  11. This is a classic example on how to net fish. Lost of action there.
  12. After reading this, I sent The question of a flare gun being legal on the great lake to the Coast Guard. This is the response I got from them, " Thank you for contacting the USCG Navigation Center. A flare gun is legal for boaters to carry on the Great Lakes as an emergency or distress signaling device only. A flare sighting will initiate search and rescue (SAR) operations. Other handheld devices, including a strobe light, a chemical light, or a signal mirror, are also recommended emergency and distress signaling devices to carry onboard."
  13. The Michigan DNR has really done a great job with the wild turkey program. We have been working at Torch Lake, and traveling to Lake Charlevoix. There is an area we pass every night that has at least 50+ turkeys roosting in trees by an orchard. When I was young (40 years ago) we never saw turkeys. Kudos to the MDNR.
  14. There was a caption at Tim Steins event that had two of these rods I believe? Dose anyone remember his name?
  15. I am not a charter boat, and likely will not be in Canada, so it makes sense to replace the cartridges for the gun, and keep the expired hand held's aboard. I did light one of the hand held flares (3 expired spares left) here in my yard, and it worked flawlessly. I like the option of being able to shoot a flare into the air, rather than just the sea/ground level flare. Thanks for the opinions.
  16. And after all of that MSU was victorious !!!
  17. For the past 3 years I have carried both a flare gun, and a package of Flare Signals. Prior to last nights talk by Dave mull, I had never given it much thought, other than to be legal. So now both of my signal kits have expired this year, and need replacing. What I am debating is wether to replace both, Just the flares, or just the flare gun. Does anyone have an opinion here?
  18. My lake in West Mi (S.E. Kent County) still has 7" on it.
  19. Post some pictures when installed.
  20. They look heavy duty Frank. Should work nice.
  21. I dropped the boat off to Bowkers to get some jelcoat repaired, and a new (up to date) rub rail put on. Then over to Anchorage for a tune up and shifting cable. Enough already with the snow!!! I need to be on the soft water.
  22. Last year climate change caused the warm spring, this year it's the cause of cold temps, and more snow. Go figure. I wonder what it will bring next year?
  23. No kidding! We went to Aarons event tonight in Zeeland. It was snowing so hard when we left, you could barely see the road.
  24. This flasher and fly ^^^ last year was a great producer for us also.
