Nice job Luke

Nice work Adam

Nice job Frank.

Here is what it looked like last night: http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/modis/modis.cgi/modis?region=h&page=1&template=subℑ=a1.11153.1922.LakeHuron.143.250m.jpg Good luck and let us know how you do. Tom

You're that far might as well finish the job. Probably won't ever have to do it again.

You can launch out of Thomas unless you have a season pass. I don't know about Sunset, but Quincasee's launch isn't too bad just make sure you follow the channel markers out.

Tried to fish the bay this morning. It was a little rougher than I expected, but we went out any way. The water is nasty by the mouth really dirty and warm. The dirty water was 10* warmer than the cleaner water out front of Linwood. We tried from 19-13 fow with out even a strike and only marked about 10 fish. Visibility was about 1.5 ft not very good conditions. Talked to a guy at the ramp and they had similar results and they fish Pinny, the 47's and the sailboat bouys. It did lay down about the time we came in. We only fished tot's and stick baits because we forgot the crawlers in the truck :bonk: . The temp in front of Linwood was 57*- 59* and the temp at the mouth was 68*. Oh well we'll try it again next week.

Good job Luke, gooing to try to get out there again this week. Tom

Nice bet you can't wait. Tom

Good Luck

I went to Quincasee this morning, got there around 6:15 am and was the first vehicle in the lot. Went out to 13 fow and started to troll with the wind. Water had a kind of green tint to it a lot a bait fish on the graph but not a lot of fish. Got one huge sheep head and that was it. There were about 8 boats out there and the only time I got wet was when I was goiong out and the spray from the waves got me. I was in my little boat so whenit started to blow up I had to leave. The water temp was 62*-63* visibility was about 2 ft. I used harnesses and tried a couple of Deep Lil' Rippers. Tom

Did you clean the cable on the starter side?

That looks like a good sign for sure. Nice fish. Tom

You have to have a season pass to launch out of Thomas Rd Marina. They started that last season.

I had a couple of the the plastic ones, and the problem with those are if you hit the throttle too hard in reverse it will chew up the plate. The other issue I had was the springs weren't stiff enough, the plate would not slow me down enough and I found out the plate was creeping up, so I went back to the Happy Troller. With the lastest boat I got I'm going to try a single bag off the transom, we will see how that works. Tom

Thanks Michael

Nice job and welcome aboard. Were you using live bait with the spinners? Tom

Yeah what Line Dancin said.

He said he launched from the river mouth, so I assume the DNR ramp.

Sometimes you can go to Radio Shack and they will have that kind of stuff.

The splitter would be an improvement over the 12 inch one you have now, but its personal preference, I like it because it didn't take up any more space, had no effect on my VHF. If you already have the ratchet base ready maybe thats the way to go for you. Tom

I read this on another site, make sure that your shielding or ground wire is not touching you single coax. If any of the shielding wire is touching the single strand coax you will have problems. Tom
