Puking Dog

Sturgeon Point is indeed open for 2023. I stopped in yesterday (Aug 9) to see what breakwall repair looks like. Hope it works, because it doesn't look much different to me than it was. Launch fee $15 as stated above. Wet Slips are about 1/3 full Only about 10 boats in dry slips. Harbour opening looks wide and deep from launch area. Sign at launch says they have ice and worms at $5/doz Watched some poor dude slide his boat off the trailer into the concrete way too early because he unhooked his winch and safety chain before backing down the ramp. Heard the lower unit or hull crash into concrete in shallow water. Parked his trailer and boat was still floating when I left. Hope he didn't go out into lake because it was pretty rough and windy. Maybe he was just going to his slip for the season.

Thanks Mr Sparrow Salesman at Cabelas told me my existing Navionics map chip will interface directly into the Garmin so I can see all my existing way points which is where I save all my walleye catches. The Navionics chip I have is very accurate for depth contours.

I'm not worried about it getting stolen, cause I never leave my electronics on board, because it gets to hot with the mooring cover installed. The circuit boards can't take that kind of heat. I'm staying away from Lowrance because they won't repair anymore. They tell you to throw stuff away and buy a new one. I hate Amazon. The owner is a A-hole and I'd rather pay more than make him even richer

I'm thinking of upgrading my fish finder to a Garmin 93 Sv (without the panoptics transducer). Anyone out there who has used one in real life? I'm currently using a Lowrance 5 inch sonar and a stand alone Lowrance global map GPS with a Navionics chip. I Like the Global map and will probably keep it on the boat, but I would like to upgrade to a more modern sonar. I like the way the 93Sv snaps into bracket without having to plug in a bunch of cables. Opinions welcome. Thanks jv

$22 a pound, I should take up fishing! $60,000 for a boat divided by 22 and I only gotta catch 2728 perch till i'm in the money. Oh yea, a few more for gas and beer.

Turn on you reel clicker. Back off you drag until dipsey starts moving out slowly. Go do something else while checking on your line counter every once and a while. I usually start setting up my other dipsey rod. When you get depth you want, start tightening drag until reel just stops clicking. Listen for additional fast clicking (doesn't always happen by the way), you probably caught something. Repeat

Not very sporting in my opinion. How much fun is it to reel in a fish on a 200 lb test steel line with no pole. There is a 3 pole limit per man on Great Lakes, so it would count as 1 of your 3 if it's even legal. I don't think I would want to try to explain that to a game warden. I also know an old timer who does it and I think he is a greedy douch bag. Who needs a fish that bad ?
