Priority1

Medic, Thanks for the report. I have a couple of projects, that should take shape by this weekend, then fishing will truly become my Priority1.

GJ Jim. Thanks for the report. I know this time of year gets hectic, and posting a report sometimes gets delayed. I'm busier than a cat covering chit on a tin roof.

John, a very warm welcome to you. Let us know if we can help in any way. I fish Lake Huron and it's Saginaw Bay. I also make a few trips to Lake Michigan. I have a 22 Starcraft Islander hardtop, that matches my persona. It's old, slow, but somewhat dependable.

Welcome aboard Teach. I fish Lake Huron for Walleye and Perch, and make a run to Manistee a few times a year for some Salmon Slammin. My boat is a 22 Starcraft Islander Hardtop. Sing out if you need any help.

A few years back the bay was filled with Hogs. We would boat a couple of 8 pounders most every time out. We get an occasional big one, but most are just eaters. Luv the bay. Yesterday our Walleye were 20-1/2, 19-1/2, and 16 inches long. We never hooked an undersized one. I enjoy every minute I spend on the water. We needed a longer presentation. 2oz inlines was the only choice on the boat. Jack was set up for the 20 FOW or more out of AuGres. One thing we did do is modify Jack's Church Boards to run the Tattle flags. Church sells a kit for $20. We used the $15 Offshore Tattle flags that went on easily.

We decided to fish the inner bay today. Our biggest fish was a 10# Cat. I thought I was into a nice walleye, because it didn't fight like a cat. We fished 12-18 FOW in my friends 17 footer. That 70 four stroke Johnson sure runs nice. Two trips with Jack's boat, and it only took 3.5 gal. to fill it up. We had a bag out to slow us down. 1.0 to 1.7 MPH. The morning was nice, but we could have used a little chop. We only managed 3 walleye and 2 cats. We fished out in front of Linwood Bay Marina. All the Walleye came on Purple crawler harnesses behind 2 oz inlines. I needed my bag of tricks that was on the Priority1. It was a good morning to be out there. It sounded like almost everyone was struggling. I do like fishing my own boat, where I can grab any number of tools. We were getting surface temps as high as 57. I'm almost certain we would have done better off the Callahan Reef. Next trip will probably be AuGres.

Nice Smallmouths and white bass.

Safety first.

I have been running single hooks on my flies, squid, and spoons. Mustad Salmon in 4/0 on the standard spoons and 5/0 on the mags. I like the hookups with single hooks.

That's fishing. Thanks for the report.

A warm welcome to you Rick. You will like it here. I fish Lake Huron, for walleye, and lake perch, with a few trips a year to Lake Michigan for some Salmon Slammin. Just holler if you need any help.

Typing at the same time Mike.

The newer version is superior. The new line attachment portion is made of stainless steel that will not deform. The S.S. version probably cost more to manufacture than the older 100% lead ones. As the saying goes, "New and improved".

GJ Sniffer. You will get into them next time.

Those White Bass can be a lot of fun. This is the best time of the year to catch them.

GJ John.

WTG Terry and Phil. It sounds like a good on the Big Water.

WTG Bill.

GJ Slammer. I can't wait to do a lil Salmon Slammin.

GJ Mike. What a day to be on the water. Quality time with your friend, and your boys.

For trolling and drifting crawler harnesses I use 10# mono. I haven't done much jigging lately but used to jig the Titt and Saginaw Rivers using 8# mono Trilene XT.. I never tried the fireline but I know some use it. The thinner diameter would make a huge difference jigging. We used mostly 1/8 and 1/4 oz jigs. I could easily tell the performance difference between 8# and 10# on the jigging rods.

No doubt it will catch fish. The basic colors and combination of colors are already covered well. Stinger has a good line up.
