Now thatll work...Great job!!!

I would think that you can lock the kicker strait and steer with the outdrive, but i doubt youd be able to turn sharply if you wanted to. Incase that plan doesnt work Jason, check out the EZ Steer. They make a model that attaches from the kicker to the I/O. Oh yeah, great find on the motor...If you find a 4-6 hp in the dumpster, let me know, im looking for one for my duck boat. Just sold my 9.9 cause it was too big for my needs.

Id try Tuna Tom in Ludington. Tuna Tom's Reel Troubles 4583 N. lakeshore dr. Ludington, Mi. 49431 231-843-4557

Nice job Jason. I came by Gordonville Pass yesterday on my way home from turkey hunting and the lot was full. Both sides of the bridge there were TONS of boats.

Great Job Mike, you guys have really been catching the fish.

Well, after the first two days of flooded woods, henned up gobblers and a funeral i was able to get back after them on Thursday morning in one of my other spots. I had a blind set in a corn stubble with an adjacent wheat fieild then the woods. The birds were coming outta the woods and working their way acrossed the wheat to the corn. Theyd either return to the woods they came from, or cross on over to the next woodlot. Great transition/strutting/feeding area. So, Thursday morning i get out there plenty early and set up my two decoys within 10 yds of my blind. As soon as it started to break day the woods erupted with gobbling toms and yelping hens. I could distinguish several different birds in there. There was quite a bunch in one roost and then a single gobbler to the east. Not being close to the woods, i didnt make any calls right away. I just sat back and listened until the birds were on the ground. Once they were i gave a series of yelps, which was returned by several gobbles. I waited patiently and the lone gobbler gobbled again on his own, only this time he was 100 yds or so from where he gobbled originally. So, i did another series, which he also answered. Within 5 minutes i spotted him at the field edge. After glassing him i could tell he was a nice bird and one id try to call in. So, i hit the slate call again, he gobbled, stood up really strait looking my way. As soon as he spotted my decoys he took off on a dead run. Now, im positioned several hundred yards out into this field. He ran full bore about half the distance, stopped, gobbled and began to display. I gave a few clucks and softer yelps, he gobbled again in full strut and continued my way. As long as he was coming i never said a word. Whenever he'd stop id hit him with some soft clucks and yelps, he'd answer and keep coming. Finally, he was within effective shotgun range. He strutted back and forth, so i gave him a few clucks and purrs and he responded with yet another thunderous gobble. Afterwhich, he proceeded well within my effective range. Finally at about 20 yds he stopped and strutted back and forth spitting and drumming. I watched him for what seemed like forever waiting for him to maybe inch a bit closer yet. After several minutes of watching him i decided i would take him. While displaying he would periodically lift his head up away from his body a bit and tilt it back and forth. I had my mind made up i would wait for him to lift his head, then take him. So, I eased the Benelli out the window of my tent half suspecting to get caught in the act, which to my suprise, i didnt. So, with a good bead on him I patiently waited for him to raise his head once again. He finally did and i folded him. It was a great hunt, with an outstandind show. Another great season in the books. Now i can look forward to calling for my buddy Matt this coming week and for my Mother when its her turn on May 4th. Beard: 10 3/4" Spurs: 1" Weight: 400# by the time i walked the half mile back to the farm! Actually, i never weighed him. Was a nice bird, probably around 21-23# if i had to guess.

Now that was awesome. Great job to all onboard including "Hunter the Fish Winch".

Thats a great tip Frank. Im sure allot of folks will really appreciate that.

Looks like fun to me....Nice job out there.

Yup, you definitely have a great site. Lots of good people on here. Site functions well. Others sites have good info, but also have allot of bad stuff and the site functions are something to be desired...You have a great place, thanks a bunch.

Nice bird Dirty Dog! Congratulations!!! I havent put one down yet. Having some serious hen issues and the south end of the woods getting flooded did not help matters...Came home to attend some funeral services. Heading back down tomorrow to get back after them. I think i may try one of the other farms and see if that doesnt help my luck.

Just wanted to wish everyone good luck. Im heading down to Turkey camp today. Gonna finalize my stategy this weekend and get after em on Monday morning. Heres to loud gobbles, longbeards and big spurs!...Good luck guys.

Great job Scott!...Id say the Lund is ready for a scrubbing!

Thank you sir.

Didnt someone come out with a bait thats very similar to the flatfish, but can be run at higher speeds? Seems i read about one in GLA Magazine last year.

Nice fish and nice boat...Welcome to the site.

Sorry to hear about the impellor Mike. Get er fixed and good luck with the coho. Hopefully that weather will hold up for you. Should be a great day on the water.

Awesome, Thanks Mike and thanks Siggs Rigs!

Welcome aboard...I fish outta Linwood on the Huron side and Ludington or Manistee on the Michigan side.

She's looking good Scotty!

Sounds like allot of fun to me!

Thats how ya do it!

Well, you got us beat thats for sure. We fish outta a 2000 21' Hydra-Sports w/150 Johnson 2 stroke and troll with a 9.9 Evenrude 4 stroke. 8'9" beam, cabin w/walk around. Have two Walker electric riggers and another 8 custom rod holders to do the work. Been a real good boat for us, handles the big water great.

Hey man, great report and an even better effort. I know this, you cant catch em sitting on the couch.
