  1. LOL!!!!! And I ran the otterboats int hat stuff all day long with copper off it!
  2. Oh come on guys! They were 2-4's at best!
  3. I think you have your priorities mixed up.....You should be fishing Kings in the morning, and then Kings in the afternoon, and then Kings in the evening. No need fofr trout b/c the Kings are on fire all over the lake this year.
  4. Im running the blacks aBove the probe and Im not using the tape they provide you. Top it off with a beat up cable and Im still getting readings down past 130! Got to love that unit!
  5. S&R down at Irodequoit was supposed to order some. I got him the contacts he needed and he seemed interested in the product. If not then you can buy direct from thier website. http://www.mccoyfishingline.com/ It is a west coat company so thier presence here isnt very good, yet. In the bass world I live in I have turned many people in to McCoy users localy. Last year I started using it on my Salmon rods to find out it didnt collect fleas. I was impressed!
  6. I run 25lb McCoy Mean Green and never have to worry about fleas on my lines. Jax can atest to that. Maybe an inch here or there but it never stops me from reelin in the fish.
  7. I wouldnt reccomend anything lighter than a M action but would prefer a MH. If your running it down the chute I like a shorter rod.
  8. I have used the 8' Shimano TDR and also the 9'6" Daiwa Heartland Dipsey rod.
  9. Hey Ray.....by the way it was nice meeting you this weekend. Sorry for the poor attitude but I take competition seriously and I wasnt to thrilled with my performance this past weekend. Not to mention the money I lost in gear! You guys did a great job together and i would reccommend you three do some more of these tourneys.
  10. Man did this lake get tough! Out of 32 boats I just missed the top 6 by one measly fish, and I only weighed in 3 fish! What a difference a week makes. Well, anyway the water is pea green and the weeds are starting to slime up. I hope it gets a little better soon!
  11. So....Team L.O.U.S.E.R.S. is already taken.....so what are you guys callin yourself?
  12. I agree with Gambel. The spros have bee working really good for me the past year or two and I believe they are cheaper. AS for size Im not sure what Im running, but when running a spoon I hate a big swivel at the end of my line.
  13. Right now I am using 25lb test McCoy Mean Green. There isnt a line counter on my Penn 345 so I made 10 passes. I think it is well over 100' long, which is fine. I would say as long as you got 100' your doin well. If you are using the spro swivels like Ernie used make sure you always check to make sure the copper is still wound tightly. If the end starts to stand up it will nick your line. There is another knot you can use and I plan on having team Screamer show me since they use it.
  14. 2500 and thats the bottom line! Let me know if you consider. I did teach you everything you know!
  15. Stinger NBK Dreamweaver Super Slim Glow Froggy Northern King Lazer Spook Northern King 42nd (Green Thunder with a silver and glow ladder staggered) Northern King Blue Dolphin and put an orange ladder down the front
  16. u can run it down the chute or off boards. Spoons will achieve 22' per 100' let out and flasher/fly combos will achieve 20' per 100' let out at 2.7 SOG. i like to run a 600 down the chute so I can change depths with it.
  17. Hey quit pickin on me! And it went like this: Hero->Zero->Almost Hero
  18. Yeah, I have been running the 13lb weights for 2 seasons. They track nice! Although I havent run the lighter weights, I wouldnt recommend them for LO Salmon fishing.
  19. Clarke.....it was good to see you this weekend. I have to say I am no copper expert, but this year I have been having some great success with my 600' set-up. So much that I recently spooled up a 500' rod, and Tom from ATOMIK is getting me another reel so I can me me another 500' rod. If I am reeling it in to change lures I point and reel. If I am fighting a fish I let him take his first run (which usually tires him out) and then we tighten down the drag and pump and reel. With the Penn 345 reels you can get a lot of line on one pump (not due to the crappy retreive rate). Once you reach the bottom of the pump I have been able to get 4 or 5 turns of the handle in. I think this really picks up that slack you are talking about. A lot of guys in central to western LO wont run this stuff and Im fine with that. On my trip last night my biggest took 500 copper set up. In Orleans my biggest fish took a 600 copper. It flat out produces bites!
  20. Yeah, we tore Jeremy up pretty good this weekend. My old man told me to ease up on him. Hes a good kid, but fun to rip on! He was a little slow to the rods this weekend, or maybe I was a little faster. Either way it doesnt matter b/c we did well.
  21. I run 25lb McCoy Mean Green and it doesnt collect fleas ever. Disapears underwater too. Check them out!
