The Pirate spoons are junk, they never catch fish..... send them to me and i will dispose of them for you....

I would consider Scotty Downriggers. They use a gravity feed clutch to lower the weights, only use power when retrieving. I've had the short arm 1099's for a number of years and love them.

I fished out of Braddocks for a few hours Monday morning. Worked the 70 - 160 range, 3 for 4, lost a nice one on the wire, 1 brown and 2 small kings off the riggers on spoons and Apex. There are fish and bait in the area, lots of hooks 70 -110 deep, 50 degrees at 80 down. Had a number of "streakers" around the spread but struggled to get them to go. No real pattern, Stinger NBK, watermelon Apex, white Pro Troll paddle & white/ silver fly. A number of boats in the area, and a bit deeper. Maybe the evening bite will be a bit better.

I run Apex lures 4-5 ft. behind flashers every trip out. Very productive setup.

TTT..........

The VK's are in the water every trip.... I usually will run an apex behind them They have a nice action..

the add says $325......

I don't even bother with the thread... coat the tape with clear nail polish.... never had one come apart.

just use a heavy rubber band around the handle to hold the net..... easy peasy

nice mounts but....... shouldn't the flag on the tip-up be up??

Perhaps a cheap plastic cooler just big enough for the tank, bolted to the swim platform from the bottom with stove bolts and wing nuts, easily removable. cut a slot in the side of the cooler for the fuel hose, drill a few holes in the bottom to drain any rain or spray water.

I sometimes use the top of my fish cooler as a fillet board. a few wet terrycloth hand towels from the dollar store keep the fish from sliding around, and keep slime and blood from running down the sides.
