Yankee Troller

OK, here we go! There is always two sides to the story. You can go out and run around at 60mph making 1000 cast to flip a LM into the boat. Or you can troll around pulling metal waiting for a Salmon to bite. Both have there down times, both have thier exciting times, and both are fun to do! Maybe you guys just need to be cultured some more. Narrow minded thinking isnt healthy.

By the way......I want one of them 40" ers on my wall after this years ice fishing season! The keep eluding me.

Never tried it in the fall time. They are there and they have to eat, so if you have the patience you should be able to figure something out.

Oh, we try!

20-25yds smart arse

Oh no :shock: here we go! Just as I was trying to mediate both sides you throw salt on the table!

Nope that was the exit. I smoked him good, but I guess he was quartering toward me more than I thought. He only went 100 yards and that was it.

Thanks guys! Hey Billy......did you get my pic message?

I would say deal with the 345! You cant have everything u greedy fisherman! Something that catches fish and comes in fast?

I have tried for the last two months for this! My first Robin Hood!

Its my biggest bow buck so far!

I only got a few left after distributing them to some of you guys! Stinger has the copper if you really want them. I think Abe's has them and I know Fat Nancy has them.

Too much!

Yup, Billy is right the gold, or in my case copper, outfished the regular NBK from July on through the summer. From my understanding NK ran out of the copper blanks, and sub'd the gold blanks. I really want the copper ones since they started it all, and I know how well they work.

r u selling that baha?

Yes it does, but make sure you boat is rigged exactly the right way length wise on either side of the knot. I can take measurments off mine if ud like. I pull a 600 off one side and a 500 off the other and i did this in 4-6's during 1 tourney.

You can use a pinch pad release on the copper, only problem is the copper is so heavy that it will slap the water from the rod to the release.

THis is fun but a mess to get untangled!

Bill has too much money to spend!

Yeah, I got caught up in that salmon stuff too this year! I really miss the bass fishing though. I am having a hard time deciding what I want to do this year? Salmon tourneys are fun, but bass tourney's are a blast to me!

Yeah, I cant wait to go back next year. Its one trip I look forward to every year.

A 33' tiara thats good on gas and is trailerable! :?

I think if I were to put any more chit on my rig it would sink, but I know come spring im gonna need something! I may try to run a second DR display on the bridge this year.

Nice!

GET IT WET - i wasnt doggin on ya! i was jsut stating some of thier points. Im here to have a good time. You didnt answer my other questions though????

I know Dave and Joe from Screamer pretty good too and to make a slight adjustment to Jimmy's post they don't practice but one day before the pro-am. This is one of thier biggest arguments. Capt's are out there on the water a lot more than they are. Dave and Joe are weekend warriors, and thats it! It is very hard to compete against people who could have been out there for a week straight patterning the fish. Some capt's do this to offset some of the cost of the tourney.

I also agree with the post that when your winning people start dogging you! And im not reffering to anyone on this forum. But they hear it at every event! "Why arent you going pro?" Or people talk about it behind thier backs. Its like this in every type of sporting event!

IMHO.......if i was winning 5k 2-3 times a year.........I dont think i would change a thing!

Yvan - keep your Canadian thoughts to yourself! LMAO!!!!! Cant wait till May dude! By the way.....what the hell did you buy? Didnt you just get that boat rigged the way you wanted it with the hardtop? By the way did Scotty start to produce those rod holders you had on it or would I still have to cut out some of it?

i cant vote b/c it all depends on my mood and whats been hot. This year by fly bite didnt take off till mid summer. We used a lot of spoons..........especially up west this spring. So what I would do is spoon the riggers and put paddle son the wires. Towards late summer everything had a paddle on it.

Im just joking! Its my old mans name and everyone knows us by that.
