You could try eating the herring for $10 bucks but it makes better bait! If you catch just one fish with that herring pack think of all the meat you get!

Nice going, thanks for the report!

I have to say the new Auto pilot changed everything for me solo fishing.

That's awesome that it works so great, really happy for you!

Received the rod holders today, perfect transaction! Thank you Dennis, wish everything went as smooth and easy as this went!

That's is an awesome fish, congratulations!!!

Sounds like you stayed pretty busy by yourself, it can't be easy, I not brave enough to go at it alone! Thanks for the report!

The kicker has an EZ steer bracket 

I think he was asking about the throttle controls

Wow, That's an awesome king! That's for the report.

Wow that really sucks, never heard of such a thing from a fly bite! The flies have been horrible this year, I use Avon skin so soft, seems to work good so far at repelling the flies. I really feel sorry for you, good luck!

Thanks, I did invasion having to do some fiberglass reinforcements if I decided to put these to use. I'm going to have to put some sort of gusset in that area!! I've never seen anything like these units, they have a cannon motor and cable out to the end of the boom with like a cannon swiveling wheel on the end and the guys has those 10# fish weights that are bent to take your line out. To me it looks like a cannon downrigger on steroids!! 

I think you scored, they sound awesome!

It119 talked to sunday it was rough out there  but this what we did sat went 10 for 20 in 240 infront of wilson

Those are some great fish!

It is the best marina I've ever used! It even has a shower in the restrooms for people that spend the weekend on their boat. And that raised concrete pad next to the fish cleaning station is for cleaning your coolers! Yes the greatest marina, couldn't agree more!

Walleye don't do it for me either

Especially this year, we have so many under the legal size of 15 inches, we've been catching over 200 fish just to get our 18 legal size. Let me tell you it's too much like work, constantly moving rods and with the heat we've had....just no fun!

You can't beat the A-Tom-Mik meat rigs, they definitely produce!

Awesome report guys! Those are some nice fish! You are definitely lucky if you live close to such a great fishery! Just can't get motivated to fish my back yard (Erie) for walleye anymore, those fish you have can spoil a guy!

That's a nice steelie! Thanks for the report!

Good luck to everyone, headed home yesterday early morning.

I might be back not sure.

I am going to fish for stripers and Haddock next weekend.

Haddock fishing has been very good on Stellwagen bank, best I have seen in years as I have been twice and easily caught 100 plus fish with my friends.

Thanks for all the reports you posted! Good luck on the haddock, post some pictures!

Thanks for the report, the flies are horrible, we use Avon Skin So Soft in the aerosol spray can. Works good.

That's awesome! Really glad it worked out! Definitely makes it easier going solo!

Going to give it a go next weekend, thank you.

How did you come up with your copper at 30 feet down? Were you running them off boards?How many feet are your copper setups? We run meat rigs on our copper but you can use flasher/flies. A fishhawk to me is more important than a fish finder, definitely money well spent. Also you may want to consider going on a charter to shorten your learning curve. Or you can see if anyone is willing to take you out for the day and show you a few things. I'd offer but I'm out of state and when I do make it up I already have a crew with me.
