Not surprised, great job Mike! When you produce year after year it’s no accident.

Yes and our LOU member Frogger almost won it but his 12.02 laker got nosed out by a 12.36 pounder but he still pulled off winning the lake trout division. Some decent fish caught this year. My hats off to Mike

Shipped, I have Paypal.

Pick up or shipped?

I wou;ld like to buy this. lance Masi

Hi, am gonna be fishing in Fairhaven the 2nd week in September and was wondering how the fishing is at that time. I have always been out there earlier. Thanks in advance, Lance Masi

I have an older Daiwa SG27LC line counter reel for sale. This reel is in great shape. $40.00 local pick up in Hilton NY or shipped to the lower 48 for $50.00.

The main thing with a slide diver is ability to separate the diver from the lure but slide down close for easier handling at the boat. The main stealth is getting the diver farther away from the lure. A dipsy will do this with a 10, 12ft or longer lead but you need someone to hand line it in. I fish solo a lot so slide divers are better for me. I also have a small boat so even with a crew handlining a bunch of line is a hassle (for me). On my braid and wire divers I have 40 ft of 40 lb fluorocarbon after my main line and before my leader. this is what the diver slides on. 40 ft gives plenty of separation from the mainline if its a consideration. I usually set 15-20 ft from the lure though. The 40 ft helps (in my opinion) close fighting a fish near to the boat as the knot isn't going in and out of the guides a lot. For leader I put either a 7' section of 20lb for spoons or a 2-3 ft section of 30# for paddles which I guess you could argue you don't need but I don't want the diver going right to the flasher The stealth isn't the leader itself other than getting separation between the lure and the diver and overall dipsy / slide diver rigs getting separation from the boat etc.
