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.

Otters will not flip in very rough water................

Marine survey would have saved you the headaches. Leason learned.

Nice job Rick! You might want to put alarms on your boat to keep us from putting Chicken Troller across the back when you are at Sandy for the Shootout!

Thanks Les. Too bad Pat is moving South! Great man!

6/22 Left the creek at 515 and stayed in close for browns. We did 5 browns in the first hour and gave up due to the excessive amount of green moss floating and fouling everything up. We ran out to 150 fow and set up for kings. In the first 10 minutes, a rod parked at 35 fired with a small king. 10 minutes later, the rod parked at 50 with a NBK, took off and a nice ariel show followed. We ended up boating a 12lb 9 oz steelhead. After not moving a rod for an hour, we headed to the laker grounds. We found a blank screen on all of my usual weight points. We tried one last spot and found a ton of active lakers. We did a bunch of fish but the biggest we could find was 15lbs 12oz. By the end of the day, the steelhead and laker made the board. 6/23 We started the day inside looking for browns again and pulled one fish quickly before abandoning the program due to moss again. Today it was not all over the surface but it was stratified throughout the water column! We ran out to laker waters and caught a good number of lakers including a 20lb 8oz. laker that currently sits in 3rd place.

Thanks guys. Added a 20lb 8oz laker to the mix today.

They need to do some thinning in the rochester area!
