Battle Creek

My recomendation would be Capt. Russ Clark of Sea Hawk charters. He is one of the best on the river. If ya google Sea Hawk charters he has a website.

The wife and I fished a swm river today. Ended up 3/4 all on spawn. 2 coho and a steelie. The wife had a ball, it was her first time river fishing with me and she did pretty well attempting to walk spawn.

Hit a SWM river this morning, after getting some rain and cooler temps I was itching to go. Just did some backtrolling thru some holes and did manage two decent steelhead about 6lbs each. It was awesome to be back on the river. I will be out again tomorrow as I have a few days off.

Holy smokes, 325 outa St. Joe is a heck of a run.

I fish mostly out of St Joe. Since I added copper to my boat ( 300' 30lb/150' 30lb) I have found that it put more fish in the boat than Leadcore. Most of last year I ran the two coppers off one side of the boat and a full and half core off the other. The copper out produced the core. So this year I have added more copper and only have a two and three color left on the boat.

You can clean them at Tackle Haven. They have a cleaning station outback. I do believe there is a small fee.

Ok, How about it in black? Clair

Mike, I would like one. The one you have posted looks fine. Black letters with white background. I work up in Kalamazoo and could meet you about anywhere.

Nice boat. Where did ya pick up the rod holders in the 3rd pic? Like to get a pair for storage. Clair

Nice catch, Myself my daughter and her boyfriend fished yesteday too. We also avoided the crowds in front and fished down at the Cook. Could only fish a couple hours, but we went 5 for 7 with the biggest king being 15.4 on our handheld scales.

Sent ya a PM

Parts are pretty hard to find for that unit. Maybe you could find a used one and use it for parts. Thats what I did. I have a complete head unit thats just missing the on/off switch. The spare that I have is not the plus model, but the parts are interchangable. If your buddy is interested I would be willing to sell it. Clutch and belt are fine. Let me know Clair

Chanel 68 or 72. We will be there in the morning. Took a three man limit in 2 1/2 hours today. Heres a pic.

I have never used them on the lake. But I do use the heck out them on the river for winter steelhead, they are deadly in the river. But as other's have stated they are speed sensative Clair

Won't be there on saturday, but will be tomorrow and friday. I'll let ya know how we do. Clair

Spent the day cleaning her up and getting all equipment back on and checked out. Tomorrow a fresh coat of wax and she wikk be in the water Saturday for the Brown Blast.

Are the docks in at the ramp? Was down there last tuesday and they werent in yet?

Glad your ok. 2yrs ago I was cutting wood and had the saw kick back and I ended up with 50 stitches just above my knee. If ya want to fish the Joe this spring give me a shout, Boat will be in 2nd week of april.

Would like to go, but the Battle Creek Steelheaders are having a river tournament that day. So I'll be fishing. Clair

Received your pm, thanks for the info. If ya ever need anything drop me a line. I try to fish it atleast once a week till april.

Ed, good job. My girl is in the barn just itching to get out. She hasnt been in the river in a couple weeks. Was gonna go this weekend but got snowed in. What part of the tiver did ya fish? Her is a pic of my boat. Give us a shout if ya see us on the river. (hope it loaded ok) Clair

Copper was top producer on the boat this year with dipsy's comming in second.

I have AT@T, it works every where. I had Nextell for years and loved the direct connect, used it mostly at work, but no signal at home. So I went to AT@T and like I said I get a signal everywhere.
