RCL Detroit River April 2-5


Recommended Posts

Anybody heading to MI for the RCL, Im going as a co-angler.
I hear the ice from Lake St Clair will be something to watch for, but a few of the local guides said "You tell the RCL boys to get there gear ready youll be fishing"

This will be my first time on the Detroit River hope'n its not much differnt from the mighty Mississippi!

Good Luck Brian, let us know how you do. Adam and I are heading to Illinois for the MWC Tournament in Spring Valley. Next year I am planning on fishing the RCL on the Detroit River. I will be down your way this weekend breaking in the new boat. That will be me driving up and down the river grin.gif

Good Luck to all you guys. Please keep us updated on your adventures and your results.

One of the biggest joys of life is breaking in a new boat.

Tom, you got that right, other then having to do it all in one day!! I have a tournament the following weekend. Oh, and I have two motors to break in. This will be a busy weekend on the River.

Good luck Brian. How does the RCL work if you are a co-angler and not a RCL owner? As a co-angler you would only benifit from being a RCL owner in the championship event correct? I am considering the RCL Detroit or PWT Erie next spring.

At least you'll have nice weather to break your boat in Scott.

This year I bought a house so I wont be able to buy my Ranger, next year I will get my boat.
So this year I signed up for all four RCL events Detriot River, Lake Sharpe,Lake Erie, and Devils Lake as a co-angler.
There for I need nothing but an entry fee, but I will not be eligable for the Ranger, Crestliner, or Lund bonus.

I need to place in the top 35 in one of the events to make the championship, I will still live with the shoot at the $75,000 first place chance, and the whole experience.

I cant wait!!!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
