    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

    ====================

    Headed out from the dock at 6:30 with my friends Jim, Dan, and Dan's daughter Julia. Couldn't find info from anyone that had fished in the last several weeks, so we were flying blind. Toyed with working the pier heads, but decided to take advantage of the calm water and ran straight out to 200'. Set first rigger at 100' down with Mag Wonderbread and it fired before setting second. Nice silver 8-10 lb. king. Reset and got rigged and the Wonderbread at 100' fired again, but we dropped a decent king at the back of the boat. Next to go was the Mag Laser Spook on the 88' rigger with another 8-10 lb. king. Wire diver with Hawg Wild Flasher/Fly took a small Laker, and last fish was a dropped Steelhead off a free slider DW SS on the 100' rigger. Screen was great until mid morning. I don't think we caught a fish after 9:30. Worked our way out to 500' with no action.

    Hope to get out 1 or 2 more times to finish out the season.

  2. Hey there,

    If I were you I would contact the owner of Baha Cruisers, Ken Nall, at this e-mail address: [email protected]. I purchased a new-to-me 2007 277 GLE this year and have had 2 quuestions that I submitted. In both cases Ken responded within a day, with very detailed answers. I was very impressed with the service.

  3. Thanks for the compliments guys. Actually, I was going to take the rod storage out of the cabin, thinking others may not like it, but now I'll leave it unless a potential buyer doesn't want it. Also, the cooler tie-down kit can be removed. I actually liked having the cooler there during fishing. I have a spoon pouch from Amish Outfitters that I snapped to the cooler. This gave me access to my most used spoons.

    Anthony - we use a plastic grocery bag for our trash. I keep a bunch of them on the boat. We tie one of the "ears" of the bag off to something to keep it open. At the end of each trip we toss in the marina dumpster - cleanup is done.

    I'm really hoping to sell the boat this fall, so if you know anyone interested, send them my way!

    Thanks for looking!

    Here are some pix per your request. Sorry, the boat is a little dirty.

    Fishing area. Motor is tilted up.

    Tackle Storage in front of port seat. Holds (3) 3600 tackle boxes.

    Tackle Storage behind port seat. This is actually a "cooler" according to Wellcraft. This will hold 6 or 7 3700 series boxes. Notice the aluminum brackets. A 3600 sits here for often used items. For me that was planer releases port side.

    Live Well / Bait Well starboard side. Used as live well for walleye. Overflow tackle storage for Great Lakes fishing. Also note aluminum bracket for 3600. This was for terminal tackle.

    Rod Storage in cuddy (starboard). Have these on port side as well. Storage for (11) 7 foot rods and (3) 8 1/2" rods without breaking them down. Also (1) rod broken down.

    I've also updated the itemized list on the first page.

    Let me know if you need anything else.

  5. Left the dock just after 5:30 this morning. Decided to run north and set up in around 90 feet. Best screen was in 150-200 ft. Worked that area (36 to 39 W) til about 9:30 when we called it a morning. Picked up (dragged?) a ~10 lb laker on a mupped Spook on the deep rigger . Switched that out for a Brad's Cut Bait with a 11" flasher and immediately picked up a small king. That was it for the riggers. In about 170' I picked up a ~8 lb steelhead on a Cat. Valium Spin Dr. with Sweet Pea fly on the 225 wire dipsy. Reset that rig and picked up a nice major king on the same setup just before calling it quits. Finished 4 for 4 and back at the dock at around 10:00 to work on the boat a little.

    Screen all morning long from 150-180:
