New to the board

[Billy Bones]

Hi Ya Guys

New to the board and glad I found it. Just recently got back into fishing for salmon and trout on the Great Lakes. Used to fish out of Waukegan Illinois as a charter skipper in the mid 70's. Things don't seem to have changed much, except that now you have to deal with spiny water fleas. Ran into them for the first time earlier this year around Main Duck Island. Terrible little critters, absolutely ruined that trip. After gleaning the boards here, got some decent info and gave the advice a try. Got them almost under control, not perfect but not like that first time.

Picked up an 18 foot Starcraft aluminum and equipped it with two Mag 10's. I run four lines, two on stackers or two on Dipsy's plus the riggers.

Thanks for all the great info.
