Just curious if anyone has any fishing reports. I drove through Mazurik Launch today and there were a bunch of boats out. Any reports?
thanks in advance.

Replacing line on my line counters. Need advice. We fish off shore boards with bandits and spoons. Should I go braid or mono?

Im thinking about going out of huron tomorrow. Just wondering if the ice is gone. The huron river web cam shows it is clear but not sure how far up river it melted
Thanks for your help.

I joined JohnN and his brother on their boat out of Huron this first day of winter. The five boats that went out before we got there this morning salted the ramp and dock, so we lightly salted also.
As soon as we saw some good marks on the Hook screen, we selected the rods, and quickly put out the ones that already had green flicker minnows attached, then added a couple of other lures, including a Bandit Taco Salad. Those lures mentioned were the most productive,as we marked our waypoints, then trolled back on tracks close to the previous course(s). We finished after noon, with 3 man limit of a nice, well-fed walleyes.

We have used Church walleye boards and a few other brands. But have yet to find a great planer board that will release easily and will fall in behind the boat for retrieval without diving below the surface. Without purchasing and trying a multitude of other brands, just looking for suggestions on a board that routinely works good for this method while pulling cranks. Thank you.

I’m looking to get a setup of trolling rods. Any particular rod/brand recommendations? I would be planning on using them for both dipsey’s and boards.

Launched by myself out of Mazurik’s yesterday morning before the sun came up. There were three other boats heading out, who all went west, but I went east because I got into some good fish recently near the CP dump. The water was glass, and it was misty with no sign of the sun making an appearance through the clouds. I didn’t see much near the dump, so I went SE where I had some waypoints saved. It didn’t take too long before the graph was showing good marks so I stopped and went to deploy the Ulterra. Lately it’s been refusing to start, with the annoying single beep and light flash. Never fails on the trailer but is moody on the water. I decided not to deal with it and used the kicker by itself. The water was so calm and there was zero wind so it was pretty easy to control the boat. I put out bandits on offshore boards, managed to keep my speed 1.6-2.0 and had a limit in less than two hours. During that time I also lost THREE at the boat, and one was huge. Fish story, I know, but I did land one that was 8# and the shoulders on the one that decided to not go into the net were remarkably broader. Anyway, Bandits with white body and red head were irresistible. Twice I was letting them out and as soon as it got to 75′ (unassisted), I went to put the board on and realized they already had a fish on. I was marking fish between 15-30′ down, in 36 FOW, and the biggest ones came at 75 back, unassisted, farthest from the boat. Watching two flags go down as I am reeling in a big fish is a rush that I hope I never develop a tolerance to.

Thanks to all of you on these forums who share your experiences and wealth of knowledge with those of us who are just getting started. Heck, are fortunate enough to have charter boat Captains (Juls!:)) on here who basically share their recipes with us for…free. I hate to think that the one a-hole, who had the nerve to demand more details than were given in a post, chased off Capt Pork Chop for good.
