Dirt, maybe copy and save the the file, then open with excel. When I click on it, the file opens right up. Someone with more computer knowledge will be along to help out ,I'm sure.

The most important upgrade to my boat will happen in April. Six years ago, my little nephew joined LOU under the handle " Fishing's Finest", hoping to become a better fisherman. I've had him out with me a number of times learning about our fishery, and he loves it. For the last four years he's been in Europe, North Africa, off the coast of Iran with the amphibious assault ships, Japan, and is presently South of the DMZ in South Korea training the SC marines. He is a Lance Corporal, USMC. He returns to civilian life on April 2, 2021. The change from teenager to grown man has been astounding. This year we will switch up roles, he will learn how to handle the boat and trailer, pick the programs, and set the lines, and I'll sit back and reel in the fish...... I can't wait to get my fishing partner back! First King.... then Now...

Don't get stuck on just 1 brand. Each manufacturers baits have subtle differences in movement. Some have a tight side to side wiggle, others more of a rolling side to side wobble. I've had days when only one "brand" of bait would fire when others in the same color and length would not. Bay Rat, Rapala, Bomber, Smithwick, Storm, Rebel all have a place in my tackle box. Old guy tip: Use a Sharpie permanent marker to write the maximum diving depth of the bait on the underside of the lip.

Watch this short video. Assume the left side is the US shore, the right side is Canada. The red water is warm, the blue water is ice cold Note 2 things: Multiple upwellings on both ends (the shorelines), and how stable things stay in the middle (the blue zone offshore) I hope this helps... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIkJ4xu9Ego

I would give it a try. Back in the mid 90s' I bought a bag of frozen cleaned smelt from the local supermarket, split one down the middle, and jammed it in a Rhys Davis meat head. Ran it clean off the rigger in early August.... largest king of my career @ 34 lbs. Lots of options out there. ( I still use the smelt)

Loop the line back through the bead. it holds in place but still can be adjusted. Watch the "Tangled Tackle" meat rig video on you tube..
