With the size of the kings this year, I would not be worried about it. A 26.5 might not be on the board by the end.

Thanks Greg. We will try for sure.

The guy was local but used it in salt. Ethanol destroyed the fuel lines in the motor. The fuel smelled really weird and was a very weird yellow color.

He was working on 2 of them this spring with a fuel issues when I was working on my boat. They were on the back of a 28' grady. Give him a shout .

Has been, If you stay at Blind Sodus again, Head West out of the channel and look for the Trench in 25 fow. It is just past the Red cottage near the bluff on the West side of the bay in the lake. LOTS of smallies on the drop to the trench. My father stayed in Blind Sodus Bay until this fall at Holiday Harbor. They did really well of smallmouth out there last year all season. They even did some walleye .

Shawn, Thanks. Maybe a couple days of stable weather and that will change. John, We will do it again soon. I will let you know.

Just spend the $ and have a survey done. Spending the $ now when you are dumping a lot of green on a boat will save you $ and headaches in the future.

Congrats on the leading King Jeremy.

Total Boated: 4 kings, 2 steelhead and 20+ lakers Species Breakdown: Lakers, kings and Steelhead Hot Lure: Spin n glow and Green crinkle fly Trolling Speed: 2.4 for silvers and 1.3 for lakers Down Speed: Boat Depth: 90 - 275 Lure Depth: ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Fished with Duckman1, Tessier and JR from LOU on Saturday and had a good day. Fished kings for the first couple hours and did a couple with some bonus steelhead. Spent the rest of the day farming and put a mess of lakers in the boat. Had one laker ripping drag like a king and we thought we had a 20+ but it only ended up being a 15 and change. After releasing a king, I looked over the side of the boat and noticed we had a hitch hiker stuck to the hull. There was a 20+ inch lamprey eel trying to suck the bottom paint off the boat. I tried got get him in the boat but he swam away without getting the knife. Kings are all over. There is nothing really concentrated. The 4 kings we took came at 4 different depths (40 down, 50 down, 80 down and 90 down). Hopefully we can get some stable weather and things will set up even better than they are already.

this is why you should never try to duplicate what someone said over the radio. His reels and rigger counters may be different than yours and you willl not get the same outcome.

Every captain does things a little different. My opinion, take a couple trips with a coulple captains. You will learn a lot of little things that you would over look from each one. Not the cheapest route but you can learn a lot.

Buy the best you can afford. If you can afford a $200.00 reel, buy a Daiwa Saltist 30. If you can't, go with a Daiwa Sealine sg47lca or sg47lcx.

Or someone could book a charter that day and insist they did not fish the shootout!

If you are in less than 180 fow with a 500, let it out VERY SLOW or you will hit bottom with it.

Nice report Tom. All this pink is really making me wonder about you!

Thats the same fsh from earlier?

Happy Birthday!

Make sure you call ahead. I read on GLangler that he is swamped right now. As for the price, I'm not sure. I just got the parts and did it my self. All the diagrams are right on his site.

I think it's call upchucking not upwelling!

I always get them too. The problem is finding something in these stores worth buying for trout and salmon fishing!

Happy Birthday Tim.

Happy Birthday Shawn! I hope it was a good one.

The wire goes to the diver with a QUALITY SWIVEL. Run a 25 to 30lb leader from your diver to the lure. Snubbers are not neccessary unless you are fishing lighter leaders. You do not need backing but a full spool will make for a more accurate counter on the reel.
