lures = fish.....................so................. more lures = more fish?...............right?............... sounds convincing, doesn't it?

i think many of us struggle with that same tackle addiction

i run 4 proos on my boat and keep 2 spares in the garage. i know the time will come when a rebuild is the only option. please post the outcome, id love to know how you guys make out.

FYI http://www.trapattack.com/index.html

slapshot my advice to you is to browse this site as much as possible and try to absorb what you can. there is probably a post on everything you could possibly need to know. once the fishing starts (late march) continue to check the fishing reports and see what guys are doing. guys will post where, what, when, how, and why. also a marine radio tuned to your ports favorite channel is a great tool while on the water.

word of the day was "sloooooow" dont know if it was a case of "YOU SHOULD OF BEEN HERE YESTERDAY"? 3 guys w/ tip downs iced 12 keeper perch tossed back a few dinks. saw a few perch caught and maybe 6 or so pike too. perfect day for fishing just not for catching.

good ice on the NE corner, alot of fisherman and alot of fish too. 5 tip downs and 4 jigging rods produced about 60 keepers. about every 3rd fish over 8" w/ a few over 10". action was quite steady throughout the morning.

another vote for downspeed and temp!!!!!!

merry christmas and happy new year to everyone. hopefully santa will bring us lots of new stuff!

the ice was great but we were also close to shore. will it survive the warm spell? im sure it will but it will be a mess.

a dozen perch but dont forget about your dogfish...........................

the probe rigger always goes in first then.... in spring ill take care of the boards first then play with some spoons on the riggers in summer it depends on where my hot bite is coming from and where temp is. my set up plan could change daily. in fall i almost always start with the riggers and then set my dipseys

very nice!!

is it a lack of hunting or lack of hunters, no one else witnessed the rut?

i dont know about you guys but i keep a bowhunting journal to help make better decisions on not just where and when but also rut timing. for me i noticed scrape and rub activity increasing on the october 25 and witnessed my first hot doe on october 27 (w/ 3 bucks in pursuit). for the next 2 weeks the rut resembled the traits of a classic trickle rut. im curious when you guys observed the peak of the rut?

11-10-07 7:20 AM 9 pt w/ the bow (1 of 5 bucks chasing a hot doe, grunt call brought him within 20 yards) 11-17-07 7:35 AM 8 pt w/ the shotgun ]

he doesnt smile when he fishes either.......

nice buck scotty! seems to me that you should be smiling though
