Sparky I'm sorry I didn't mean to bash you and I said you are required to monitor tourney control not that you are required to have a marine radio to fish tourneys and you can say what you want its a basic safety piece of equipment to have on your boat . but enough said on that issue that Saturday was a total mess and its a bummer that some didn't get to weigh in there fish I'm sure if the wmfl is going to happen again next year some more rules should be established . again sorry if you feel bashed that was not my intent I don't even fish those events.

Sparky 30 every tourney on the lake requires you to be able to monitor tourney control ,when you run to another port YOU are responsible to monitor tourney control. another thing is you really should have a marine radio on board anyways if you are on lake Michigan there's lots of dead spots out there for cell reception just a smart thing to have.

27 sea ray amberjack with twin 350's 5 hr fishing trip $100 I had a 20 footer before that had a 305 in it that took around $80 per trip ( Marina Gas in both ) the 27 is a lot more comfortable and a lot more room to fight fish the extra $20 is worth it.

thanks for the ride last night bill it was fun!

Isn't any one interested in this tourney , the rivers are full of fish and the high water will be down this weekend , what's the hang up? Would more people fish it if it were open to the public instead of just steel headers? please comment we are trying to grow this tourney. Jimbobber Holland Steel headers Board member.

good job Bill ?? way to put the smack down on them feeeeeeesh !

Well had the pleasure of Dirty dog fishing with me on the JimBobber last night and a couple of other good buddys out of Holland . We started north of the harbor in 85 fow and trolled north and picked up 4 coho on meat rigs on diver and plugs on 300 copper ,turned to the south and as we got about straight out of Holland started to take hits from kings, mostly on plugs had two break off on rigger down 60 with green glow black ladder back j plugs picked away at em til dark and ended 8 for 14ish??? what worked ; green glow black ladder back j plug on rigger down 60 blue glow black ladder back on diver back 200 white slick spin doctor pickle sunshine flie on 300 copper meat rig on low diver cant remember the set up tho. and I think we also took hits on a wonder bread plug . worked 90 to 105 fow mostly on a south troll. thanks to Terry for riding along last night it was a blast.

Bob , don't know if you got your answer about the terminating end of the wire , the knot I use is simple create a loop with the wire put that thru the eye of the swivel then over the swivel tighten that up, then above the swivel tie two overhand knots and tighten , I also put a beed above the swivel when your done fishing close the swivel and reel against the beed til tight .hope this helps jimbobber

Mike Godeing aka My Allibye he jigged for them with spoons in lake mac. lol
