I have used almost every resort on LOTW and Arnesons is hands down the best. The worst experience I have ever had was with Zipple Bay.

I must have missed something. He never said his plan would fit everyone. He was only stating what works for him. -
I am also dying to find out what cosmic whimpout is

Gogebic Reports
Tom Buckles replied to Tom Buckles's topic in Michigan Ice Fishing Reports - Hunting
Perch King, Thanks for the reply. I was up there two years ago, over memorial day, and was amazed at how good the walleye fishing was. I cant wait to get up there and spend a whole week on the water. I will have to get some boards and try trolling the deep flats. Thanks again for the advice. -
Hi everyone. How has the fishing been up on Lake Gogebic? The Navy is moving me cross country again this summer, so I am taking a week of leave to spend on Gogebic. I am renting a house on the west side of the lake just south of the state park. It has been a couple years since I have been up there and I cant wait to get back. I will be up there from June 19-27. Any pointers on where to look for the walleye or perch would be greatly appreciated. Also, I am thinking of getting a guide for the first or second day of the trip to show me the lake. Do any of you have any suggestions. Thanks

Any updates? I would love to see the finished interior.

I drop shot alot out here in California. I fish vertically in deep water under the boat and I also cast them out away from the boat towards structure. When I first started drop shotting, the biggest problem i had was not getting good hook sets. I was trying to set the hook like I was texas rigging. Now I just do what some call a reeling hookset. WHen I feel a bite, I simply start reeling in my line. The small drop shot hooks do not require a ton of pressure to penetrate the mouth of a bass. With this reeling hook set technique, I dont miss anywher near as many fish. I hope this helps.

Since I now live in California, I will be looking forward to seeing all of the pictures posted on here of everyones houses and fish. I cant wait to get back to the midwest. 7 more years!! -
Im in a bass fishing club here in California and everyone out here loves the Dobyns rods. Probably because he is from the area. Anyways, from what I hear, they are great dropshot rods. Very sensitive with enough backbone to set the hook.
