That's perch fishing. Thanks for the reports Skip. You'll get em next time. I may try for some of those yellow bellies right off the weed beds.

Sounds like a fun trip. Nets?????

Keep putting it to em Jarod.

Skip, GL fishing tomorrow. I hope the weather is decent for you. I haven't been out as much as I would like.

GJ Captain. Thanks for the report.

Terry, But that look was priceless. I have had similar stuff happen to me. The amount of Kings you get, those nets should be replaced twice a year.

GJ Boomer, Those Kings like it rough. Must be the extra action on the lures.

Yes that eerie whine, as the wind whistles through the rigger wires. Love it.

GJ Ed and son.

GJ Jim. Don't you just hate to give it up, and put the toys away?

GJ Jarod.

GJ Capt Dick. I love the Manistee area and the port.

GJ Tony.

GJ Andy. I like fishing the Lake around Manistee and Ludington.

GJ Terry and Crew. These are bonus days, from now until mid Nov.

Thanks for the heads up on the haunting tune. Sometimes we make our own luck, good and bad.

GJ on the fish, and sorry about your bad luck coming in. I"ll knock on wood, but I have never been towed in. I towed a few boats in over the years.

WTG Wolfpack and welcome to the site. You will like it here.

GL to all the youthful deer hunters. My grandson is hunting with his uncle today.

We have a celebrity on the site. That's a good show you put on. I viewed it early in the morning, and those commercials made me hungry. Very interesting on the pump handle set ups. It's good to see that you are not dropping the weights. The price of lead is on the rise. I gathered that you run 8, 10, and 12 ounce weights, up to 3 lines to the side on the big boards. Maybe you could expand on this setup a little, and show us your rigging techniques. I may just have to send a big board out on the port side and give this technique a whirl next year. Those lines must be almost vertical off the planer tow line. How tight do you run the boards to the boat? There must be a pretty good belly in the tow line. We need to pick your brain on this technique. Do you also incorporate Dipsys in the spread? I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video.

I like that spud. Dan, Give that a try on some of the Bay Bogs.

This has been kicked around a few different places before, but I thought I would bring it up here. I have been using stainless steel wire for years. I haven't had any problems, but just wanted input as to your choice between braid or cable on your riggers.

Andy, I like that crew of yours. Those kids will remember those fishing trips forever.

Go get em Joe.

Jim, It sounds like your wife is a "REEL Keeper". I wish I could get my wife interested. Jeanice is afraid of the water also, and doesn't have basic direction skills. She doesn't like being out on anything smaller than a cruise ship.
