Congrats to the winner and all that entered pics.

A warm welcome to you Gary. Someone will be able to help you.

Wtg Phil. Some good eating.

Matt, I have found that the walleye are not all that fussy. The 20# definitely holds up better. I took two Northern Pike 32 and 38 inches on 20# harnesses this past year. I held my breath the whole time they were on.

I use 50# Ande Mono for squid and fly rigging. I use 20# mono for crawler harnesses.

Good report Kevin.

I wouldn't mind going, if we could get 3 or more from this side to carpool.

Kevin, A warm welcome to the GLF site.

All of this new high tech stuff. ?????????? The Good - Posting a fishing report complete with pics from the boat. The Bad - Sexting, Texting, Obscene calls complete with pics, where will it end??? The Ugly - Old people doing the above.

A warm welcome bd7. I'm going to move this down to the tournament forum where it should be to get noticed. Thanks for the post.

They look GR8. There is nothing better for running boards.

Sounds like some worthwhile tournaments.

Bill, A very warm welcome to you. Let us know if you need any help. You will like the friendly atmosphere on this site. I have 22 Starcraft Islander Hardtop, and fish the Saginaw Bay (AuGres). I do wander over to Lake Michigan a few times a year.

Terry, Keep the reports coming. They are what gets me by, until Spring. GJ everyone on the gills and specs.

The Great Lakes do need to be protected from this Huge invasive danger. There is one good point brought up here. Why were these fish allowed in this country in the first place????? Drastic measures may be what is needed to stop the carp, but they need to happen now. Even if there were 10 sure fire ways to stop the carp, the bureaucrats would argue for 10 years about which method was best. It's all about $$$$$. There has been a lot of harm done to the GLs over the years. The GLs are the source of drinking water for numerous municipalities. These same municipalities spill billions of gallons of semi treated sewage into the GLs every time there is a major rain storm. Sure they get a slap on the wrist when this happens. Separating the sanitary and storm sewers is the answer to this dilema, but $$$$$ keep it from happening. Some big improvements have been made in the GLs water quality and fishery in the last few decades. I hope we don't start going the other way.

I'm sure you made it fun for the kids. That is what it's all about. Hot Cocoa will warm their hands and tummies.

GJ John. Thanks for the report.

Sounds GR8 Adam. Those eyes will fear you even more.

Serafin is NOT a tribal fisherman.

Robert, What a pic.

GJ Joe and son. I miss it.

Yep it is Tuna Tom.

I thought the newer ones had wider level wind guides. If so, just order the new part. I could be wrong. Here is one on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/LINE-GUIDE-UPGRADE-FOR-OKUMA-CONVECTOR-CN-45D-REELS_W0QQitemZ170415417942QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20091205?IMSfp=TL091205012010r1408
