Anyone else having problems with the app? It just tells me to login, and when I try, this big long failure message comes up. I’ve reset my password and it still doesn’t work. Anyone else having the same problem?

Desperately looking for one of these reels. Please Let me know if you, or anyone you know has one that you’re looking to get rid of. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

I agree we need less lakers and more kings, but at this point, as long as they’re stocking fish, and not cutting stocking all together, I’m just gonna fish for what’s biting. Most of the people that are charter fishing are just there to fight the biggest fish they’ve ever fought. I’ve seen dinosaur lake trout put bigger smiles on faces than 2 year old kings.

Talk to Russel Gahagan at anglers Avenue. I like okuma classic Pro GLT. They’re about 25-35 bucks, but they have a nice triangular grip above the reel, and really nice line guides. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

[emoji1360] now hopefully they catch as many for you as they do me lol. I hate making suggestions then they don’t work for other people Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

They’re okuma classic Pro GLTs with Okuma Magda dxt 30s. If you don’t feel like going with Russel at anglers ave, fish USA also has pretty competitive prices. Anglers Avenue also has a hot sale tab on their website, and you can find some really good deals on lures once in a while on there as well. Dreamweaver also has an overstock/discontinued tab on their website, I’ve got some good stuff from there for cheap as well. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Do you have planer boards, or do you need them? If you’re looking for church walleye boards, Franks great outdoors is the cheapest I’ve found them. If you’re looking to buy new rod/reel combos, Russell Gahagan at Anglers Avenue is the guy to talk to. Just got 4 new rigger combos from him for $75 a piece shipped. If you need trees, poor man’s rod trees from mads outdoor products are a really good option for cheap. Basically if you’re trying to save some money, get ahold of me lol.

Thanks guys. I run cold waters with upgraded drags everywhere else on the boat. Looking to save a couple bucks on the riggers. Looks like I’ll be going with the 30s, just still can’t decide between the old or the new style. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

You running dx or dxts? Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

What do you have left? Interested in a few different things you have listed. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Looking for a little feedback on the new (dxt) magda vs (old) magda. Gonna get 4 new combos for my riggers, and torn between the all plastic dxt or the older dx with the partially metal housing. I’ve fished the older reels, and never had a problem, but just wondering if the newer reels are an improvement, or if its a step back. Also, for you guys that run them in riggers, do you prefer 20 or 30 series? Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

I talked to him the other day, he got rid of all his heartland rods at a swap meet, I apologize. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Haha that’s about how it goes. The boat is the cheapest part. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Blue dolphin, bloody nose, uv veggie. Monkey puke, double orange crush, glow frog, pink panty dropper, wonderbread, green dolphin. Those are a few of my favorite spoons. Get yourself some Luhr jehnson size 0 dodgers, and pulls spin n glows behind them with about a 24 inch leader to the spin n glow. In the spring I like to run shallow diving cranks, jointed or not, either blue, or orange. J plugs I really like a silver with a bloody nose with a rattle, wonderbread, glow plugs, anything purple. I also run a lot of storm thin fins for coho in the spring, and early summer. I prefer the thin fin 6, but the thin fin 8 will catch fish too. It’s very much dependent upon the day, and the light conditions, all that crap lol. But those are a few favorites of mine just to start with, and you’ll find your favorites the more you fish. Congrats on the boat btw. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

How much do you want for the sub troll? I’ve gotta get something that tells me ball speed, and temp, and idk if my wallet is ready for a fish hawk yet lol. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Where are you located? I have a friend that has quite a few near Kalamazoo. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Running all 4 mag dipsys or just mags low? Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Gonna be using coldwater 453 reels, so I’ll definitely put backing on so the line counter is more accurate. I didn’t even think about that. I’m hoping when I’m running all 4 dipsys I’ll be in pretty deep water so my inside boards should be fairly wide. I’m sure it’ll be a learning experience lol. Thanks for the tips. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Thanks guys. Any thoughts on what number to run the dipsys at? Also... my wire rods are 9’ my braids are 9’6. Thinking I should probably go to 10’ on the braids, but if I don’t need to spend the extra money, I won’t. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman
