Welcome aboard the ghost ship. Hope it's everything you could ever imagine. You'll see a lot of pictures from me through the years on the site so take your time and get to know me! Lol. You and scout need to start doing more trips more often. Maybe you guys will have a shot at the next big TBB steelhead tournament of 2016/17. This year, I think it's being endorsed by Mark Romanack, and Al Linder. Last year scout placed third. Better to be third than last! Wait....he was that too. Lol.

This year I think I have a real shot at fourth! But at least my avatar isn't Mrs. Paul's Frozen Fish Sticks anymore. That was a rough stretch of fishlessness. Are you going to kick off the official start of the TBO 2016 steelhead tourney? We started pretty late last year.

Another year, another walleye trip. We went a week later this year to make sure the water had cooled off but there's no way we could have planned for the weather this year. Gogebic was 60 degrees and the walleye weren't in feeding mode yet. We managed about a dozen keeper walleyes, a few big fat perch, and two keeper pike. We released a bunch of smallies built like footballs, 20 or so hammer handle pike, and quite a few short walleyes. Gogeezer outfished me about five to one this year. The weather ranged from gale force winds to hot, sunny and calm but we got out every day this year.

Once more, another Gogebic walleye trip with Gogeezer. The weather was much cooler this year and the walleye were more cooperative. We got 21 keepers overall, one keeper pike and a single perch. The biggest walleye was 22 1/2" which may be my personal best or at least in the top 3.

OK, ok, fine. I'll do battle with Photosucket for your enjoyment. This photo was from our best night. That big one may just be my personal best at 22 1/2".

Well, Gogebic was a bust this year. There were 3 of us this time and we managed a whopping 4 walleyes. Indian summer up there killed us. We only got in on the last warm day but the water had warmed back up just before we got there and the walleyes went deep. So we had cold, windy, wet, rotten weather and no fish. The water was 62 degrees at the beginning of our week and cooled off to 54 by the time we left. Our last day was the best because of those water temps and because the fronts were gone and the weather stabilized. I know you guys wait for my annual Gogebic report with baited breath but this will be the last one. It's just too damned far to drive for those results. We've decided to stay closer to home next year, maybe in the Traverse City area. So this is your Gogebic correspondent signing off for good.

Damn scoutb that sounds like slow/ poor fishing but had to be better than working.theres plenty of salmon in the rivers but hear the grand is running over 10,000 cfs.walleye taste alot better than a salmon tho.only a few weeks away from the bobber down steelhead smackdown also.

Sounds like our early doe firearm trip. Very similar events vice versa. Winds and cold weather prior to the day we arrived. Hot and humid for us. Fished the dam in Alpeena(spelled this way for a reason!!)on Thunder Bay for the morning and then spent ten hours trolling the bay for one lake trout. The following day for the deer hunt we were met with a low of 70 and high of 87. Humidity was insane and it was just plain garbage. Can't plan the weather. Ugh. But I'm finally glad it's cooled off and looks like it'll be around a while. Need to get some deer in the freezer and some fresh steel at the end of my line!
