I have been a boot fisherman all my life and although I haven't hung up my waders for a last time I decided to buy a boat and get my lovely bride involved. Cindy and I looked at boats for 2 years before we settled on a compromise (and went with what she wanted) a Bayliner 2859, " DanCyn Waves". I had my doubts about this as a Great Lakes fishing boat but with a little work and alot of green it turned out to be very fishable and quite comfortable even for a week. We harbor in Bay City where I work. We had only targeted eyes and perch untill last Sept when we trailered her to Frankfort and had a fantastic week. Both of us are hooked now and we are looking forward to learning the tricks of this new (to us) sport.

This sounds too familiar. What I want and and what she thinks I need.

Welcome to the site Dan. Thanks for taking the time and doing an intro. It only takes one day on the big lake with success and you are hooked for life. Make the haul over to Ludington/Manistee and give it a try in August. The point is very crowded on the weekends. Make it a week day trip, and it will be very enjoyable

We look foreward to having you around.
