GAMBLER

Jerry, Thanks. He has become a Sandy regular. One hell of a crew member.

Use 30lb floro for spoons and 50lb floro for flashers and flies and you will not need snubbers.

SWR = Secret weapon rig. 2 colors leadcore off the rigger. The lure runs approx 10' below the ball. It is used in a stealth approach when the fish are rigger shy.

Happy Birthday Ray. I hope it is a good one for you!

No problem Matt.

Nice Job Rick. Congrats on the 5th place finish.

East Fork Marina is a registration site. There are no weigh stations in Monroe county.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):8/4 Time on Water: 5:30 Weather/Temp: Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: Surface Temp: Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: ? Total Boated:? Species Breakdown:Kings, brown and lakers Hot Lure: Hammertime Spin Doctor and Green hammer fly Trolling Speed: Down Speed: 2.4 Boat Depth: 90 - 160 Lure Depth: 60 - 80 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Started the am inside and the screen looked good until the sun poked over the horizon. Slide out to 160 and did some teen kings. After getting some intel, I slid back in to 90 - 110. After a short troll, the 180 wire on a 1 setting starts throbbing. After a 50' run, the fish just dogged all the way to the boat. When it broke the surface, we knew it was a derby king. Canuck33 slid the net under the current Orleans derby leading king @ 30.13lb. Shortly afer rerigging, we did another major and a small brown. After a couple more good rips, and drops, we headed to the laker spot and did a mess of lakers but LOTS of 3 to 6lb lakers. We only had one decent laker at 12lbs. The guys in 400 FOW were lighting up the kings. Hopefully the weather cooperates so we can get out there this week and next weekend.

Glad to hear you got into fish Steve. Keep up the good work.

+2 Smaller probe (less blow back), NO coated cable (an added expense if it gets damaged), great battery life, no antenna's to replace with an upgrade because it only works with a wet papper towel on it and it can be used on ANY rigger on the boat.

Like I said at the Shootout, Real men wear trebles. I think you should have kept it there. How did the fiance react when you got home?

No problem Mark.

Here you go Mark. It looks like a 28.14 took it. viewtopic.php?f=52&t=34201

Find where thermalcline intersects the bottom near structure and fish smaller spoons along the bottom. If you see marks up off the bottom in that zone, a lot of times they are browns also. A lot of the time, the low 60's is the perfered temp. Good luck!

Around 42 degrees is the water temp you want for ice water. Some days they are sitting in colder to get away from the sun.

I think you have had too many days on the water! Something that ugly can not taste good.

Nice to meet you Tom and Great job with the boys! Glad to see some youth of today with an interest in fishing!

Get an auto pilot first then Take this advice.

Congrats on the 2nd place finish Rick. Have patients. He can't keep this roll up for ever!

Thanks Kappy. No. His name is Steve.

Congrats on the big Derby / Shootout Steelhead Shawn. P.S. You made FISHINMAN happy by catching a laker in his honor!

NIce job Jon. Glad to see you got Tom back into it. I saw new riggers in his shop. Look what you started!
