The ice and constant east winds has a lot to do with the slow fishing on top of too much bait. The core lake temp got five degrees colder than years past. In turn, the lake warms slower. The east winds and lack of west/northwest winds did not allow the warm water to pile up on the south shore.

More people should read Vince's post about too much bait. The man is spot on. I went offshore today before the winds and could not believe the bait. Went all the way back into the shallows and marked TONS of bait the entire way. Last year there seemed to be a lack of two year old kings out there. If that is the case, there will be very few three year olds this year. We will see. I hope things change because the waters in usually are getting a little crowded!

It's usually tough but I have not seen it this slow lake wide in a very very long time.

Thanks! There are a lot of steelhead in that 7 - 10lb range this year. During the Oak Orchard Open we caught a bunch of that sized steelhead. The next couple seasons look promising for big steelhead!

And that right there is enough of a reason to not run then. Flipped boards have the potential to turn into a dangerous situation if things are not handled quickly enough.

Thanks Chris! Bummer

Hopefully the moss cleared out all the way. PITA last week. I tried two days but gave up after catching a couple really quick. I had to clear rods every ten minutes!

Good luck Bill. I will be out Sunday, Monday and Tuesday!

I purchased my boat from my fathers buddy. I replaced the shifter, shift cables, steering cable and drive in the first year. If I would have had a survey done, I would not own the boat. 5 years into ownership, I found out the stringers were pretty much crumbled wet wood and the transom was rotted. The fiberglass guy I used said this issue was bad before I purchased the boat!

Trash the snubber all together. They are only needed if you are trolling lighter leaders for browns.

It will fit a 10 color, leader and 300yds of braid for backing.

Put your boat on an incline on the trailer. Put a hose in the gas tank all the way to the bottom in the back part of the tank. Siphon the water out until gas starts coming out. Gas floats on water so you can get the gas out fairly easy this way.

Lighter the winds, the longer if will take to mess up the lake.

I'm selling a Penn 330GTI reel. It is 3 years old and in good condition. $50.00 local pick up or I will ship it to the lower 48 for an additional $10.00.
