KING ME

lmao

Happy Bday!

I thought this thread was dead but i guess i will make my LAST reply on this topic ONLINE.

2004 sodus pro am largest king salmon pro. division and $1000.00 a day winner 28.28lbs. (l&M) remembers that one because he was close second

and thats out of a port i had never fished before 

2005 pro/am 14th place 

 you where still an AM. back then so you may not remember.

 fished 2 pro/ams and that's it because of 2 reasons first and foremost a team member had a serious medical issue during a prefish event and it had a huge impact on the team

 second reason is i have said a thousand times there needs to be no communication in these events. do your best by yourself and see where you land when the dust settles. Communication between anglers makes the playing a mask - no communication at all in the end will show consistency, ability and knowledge of all anglers involved. Countless teams place in the money because of knowledge learned or shared.... and in my eyes that proves nothing. But maybe some more of those events will be coming up in the future.

 LOC derby placings - done browns,lakers, steelhead and kings all in the placings (from 3rd place in a division on down) and in the money for myself,my customers including a top 10 placing king out of your port of wilson for the owner of Northern King Lures. Of ya - did that and it was my first time fishing out of that port.

 i dont need recognition could careless. The spotlight and chest pounding can be handled by others. 

 last note one of your very first charters you ran i second boated for you....it was for a radio advertising agency. You had the bayliner then. You had to ask me where the fish where because you haven't been out in awhile and i had fished the past few days. We fished the charter both did good and all had a great time...I had 2 or 3 more fish than you thou. DID the same thing to you BRUCE - smoked ya on your own trip.

 Point being is we all catch fish, good days and bad days. Sometimes when you climb the ladder you forget things.

don't ever forget where you came from in life.

There is an aquaholic already.

God smack lol I like my addiction ...take it you like the band dope.

Hey bud where you locAted? I have one shimano tdr dipsey rod and 2 cabela downrigger rods that I don't use and have been sitting for a few years in basement..... I will give them to you free.

we run okuma convector 30 line counters spoon up with 30lb clear big game line. Splice in 100' of flouro. And you are good to go. 100' is more than you will ever need for a slide diver set back.

Also I am not a fan of the slide diver "lite " bite

We also run slide divers on our wire diver rods. Spool on wire then splice in 60' of 40 or 50 pound flourocarbon. DeAdly on kings and steel

Wow I talked to you about Jason and his spoons and now he is offering you a job. Lol Barry yA move down there and only 1hour 40 minutes from hoping aboard .

Awesome looking paint jobs all of you guys .... I can paint houses and cars but not spoons... Oh well.

Barry,

Fess up you stold them lures off my boat..... Lmao kidding they look good bud. Good luck on the east end for loc. Talk soon bud

A spot of superglue on knot works very well!! Just needs a moment to dry before you spool on leader

Great job!

Omg typos sorry sent from cell.

I can't say anything about hummingbird haven't used one since I had my ranger bass boat back in the 90's. If you have questions on Garmin units call Jim at BOE marine is is an expert and is currently installing the new electronics on wicked Tina's tuna.coms new custom built boat. He is a great guy, unbiased and will answer any all all your questions. Then you can make a final decision on a unit and not regret it later on by it hb, Garmin or whatever.

Here is a few pics of chirp and downvision in action.

Upper is chirp lower is downvision going over rock bottom with some big boulders

Chirp - bait on bottom with fish shooting up to 55' rigger from bottom

Lol boat locked and we have a security camera no worries there lol.

Not sure how many bad Santos's you "stold" from me ( laughing) but try one as is and if yA got another put 5 or 6 dots on the painted face with a black sharpie and a orange or red eye on the inside cup by the hook end -

If yA win know keep both spoons I'm gonna want a prize money kickback!! Lol

We run chirp and down vision and love it. Highly recommend Raymarine. Here is a screen shot of this past weekend 13 foot of water going over some rock bottom area with boulders. Upper screen is chirp lower is downvision .

Also look at BOE marine for whatever unit you decide on. Very knowledgable, great customer service.

Ok I will share he earned that spoon lol. Wicked Orange is cool.... Rhonda said "slow burn" just before this post. .....troll it slow and burns fish into the box. But I think mike should name it since he won the first derby that lure has ever seen.

Way to go bud!!!! Now can I have my spoon back..... Kidding great job!

Black diver off port clear diver off starboard. Only other color we run is green and glow for staging kings

the sub trolls come with an 80# break away cable. 

she wants more to name lol

she said that she can "name them all" lol

With slide divers usually duplicate hot rigger depth and set back or start with 25' line out and keep pumping it back til it starts to take shots.

my girl named it 

747-7897

good eyes jason!
