Freshwater drum Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 Great report drum - If you don't mind me asking, what settings were your dipsy's.TX!I run a slide diver set on 1 1/2. It has the ring and the 7oz weight that they sell to go with it. I run a 30 ft to 50ft braid leader off the wire for slide diver to slide on.

The stick is the lighthouse on big sable point, about 8 miles north of ludington harbor. The bathhouse is a little south of that. Its a building at ludington state park. The project is the power plant between ludington and pentwater.
Jmiron25 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Thank you very much for the info ---- I fish out of Pentwater when the wind is right if you ever find that you are going out alone give my a shout out the more rods in the water the better the odds my 19 yr old son just does not want to fish with me the older he gets so I am going out a lot be myself THANKS AGAIN
Fishrmac Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Jmiron25 - thats a bummer with your son. I've been fishing with my dad since I can remember, I am 33 and between my kids, dad and brother it's hard to beat family fishing buddies. If I am in Pentwater September I will look you up and we can hit the lake!
