Fishstix

IMO  Fish the mud-lines in and out of the clear water..   Surprised no one has mentioned it.

I painted a couple of these up and ran them today.  Pulled behind a dodger I did several fish on them. I just used the latex paint samples at lowes $.99 a color.Brushed it on then clear coated.    After several fish the paint was still fine.    They [email protected] each its a bargain..

I forgot to mention if the wind blows them overboard they float. 

Cowbells in a zip lock.  Rigs wrapped around Foam swim tubes  from the dollar store. Set the hooks in the foam then I use a nail to hold the Snell end.

You have been paid  Thanks Greg

Sold    Contact me for payment . You may still have my address.

Its a big money derby. Everyone is tight lipped on whats working. You could go down  this site and get some good Ideas. There is a ok launch on the N end at the Marina park. There is a new super launch site at Sampson park Its on the E side I would guess 5 miles down 96a. You never know might be beginners luck.

I caught a 1st place fish on a topline years ago. I caught a winning fish 90ft down a couple years ago.  You just never know until you try.

Just when Ive got so much stuff I cant find anything.. I swear I wont buy anymore.... I order these....

Lewis863  you should start one....  Years ago wildman used to have derbys, He had a tackle shop on the Cayuga inlet. Had several big sponsors, pig roast afterwards at Omaleys those were the days....

 Best report this year.. Thanks      

Launched out of long pt today . It looked scary shallow because the water was crystal clear. A guy was leaving the launch with probably a 30ft sportcraft he did not seem to have any problems. And yea they are bitin...

I have a special request.. Why is west is best and east is least?  That saying is very true...at least out of Hughes..

Skat8opedia... you should write a book.  

 Neo1945 In my opinion you just kinda nailed it.Some lures are very speed forgiving some your speed has to be spot on.  The exact speed for one MFG might be different than another MFG. Bend a spoon catching a fish, Change the hooks. Whats the speed? Take this advise from a guy that is not going to buy anymore $$$$$  probes..... 

Yes I know fishhawks have helped some guys....   Not trying to offend anyone.

Thanks for the report .Looks like the lake is up a bit.

Glass or aluminum ,Your choice.    Most important things for me are  Having the trailer set up properly so boat goes on straight everytime,Being able to touch the water to rinse off your hands and release fish,a place for the damm cooler,Be  able to get out of the sun, a cuddy to lock your gear in,a flag pole,easy access battery switch. lots of storage.good radio,strong gunnels to mount downriggers or drill holes in. Be able to stand up and move around a little you dont want to be stumbleing around over coolers and  tackleboxes when fighting a fish..Power tilt kicker., and I repeat a huge amount of storage.  Just 6 lifejackets  takes up a lot of storage space. I think white is easiest color to keep clean. I do not know what you need for jigging ,never done it but Ive seen guys out in the direct sun.  Ive probably missed a few things.Good luck in your search...

Almost forgot probably most important...A place for ladies to pee...........

I launched a 21ft Arima at meyers today. Its a glass boat around 5000lbs. I went in and out with my kicker.

Looked shallow between the launch and the channel. Didnt fish just a shakedown.

Spoons look great. Can never have enough of this color...

Holy Mackerel had one listed here awhile back. I dont know if it sold. I do know if he says its good its good...

Nice fish and your lucky to get the wife out fishing.

Wow ! That fish had broad shoulders. Definite wall hanger.  thanks for the post...

Lookng for a good 602 microphone. Mine still works but the cord covering is brittle from the sun and.falling apart. Looking for one in good shape.

Model number on the mic is  HM-136W. Its a front mount.  I do not know what other ones would work.

Used to be able to order spin n glows directly from Yakima. You could buy bags of 25. Then they went to bags of 3. Can not seem to do that anymore.On their site they list various vendors to order from but none sell the color I want. I just tied my last two up last weekend.

Dam Dlott I am really fighting the urge. I have 7 boxes of lures in the shed that I will never use.I have sworn to my self I am not buying anymore . But I need a couple of the Pink,blue with black spots sent to 13743.

Paypal      

The pictures its hard to tell. Not the mag size . The ones that look to be C4.

I am giving these a shot this year .They are hollow and two piece . Glow in the dark.Put your scent on the inside, they snap together.I plan to catch a few gobies . Use them for scent.. Might be the ticket after dark?????? or they could end up in the many boxes of stuff that should have worked that Ive got out in the shed.

I know for a fact that a minnow with a piece of marshmellow on the hook is deadly in

muddy water.Might try a little marshmellow. Would be great if it worked.

I used smelly jelly years ago. Ended up with several lures with a coat of like grease that never seemed to come off...

winner ,winner, chicken dinner.
