Silver Fox

Many times out of Sandy, my friends have seen the “eclipse” while I’m out there fishing. It’s a free show about 3 times a summer……

Those of you using 16# and heavier weights, what snubber, if any, are you using?

I use the Amish ones. Ive done the fish thief and didn’t like all the stretch.

Sent you a message.

You guys are running med heavy for wire divers rite? I know it’s a stupid question but I started running 9 ft med heavy last year. I was running 10 ft medium lights that I bought off someone. Great bend on the rod when trolling but when I would hookup it was almost unmanageable. But I could see more of what was going on in the rod tip when trolling.

Yup med heavy 9’s and 9&1/2’s

Sorry guys , it's BS 

 

You can justify it in your mind any way you want . It just ain't right . 

 

Sorry if your  neck gets sore staring at a live scope when you can actually in real time place your bait in front of the fish  and watch them hit it . 

 

A long time ago I asked a question to some out there . 

 

It was " if they made some sort of electronic device that every time  you were around  a fish  it would automatically hit your lure , would you buy it ? " 

 

Sadly , there are some that would rush right out and buy it . And we would be in Hell. 

 

And then  post pics on here and be proud of themselves . 

 

Where will this end , probably not in a good place.  

 

I'm glad I'm old , I see the thing I love to do more than anything turned into a joke . 

 

 

 

 

 

The last 2 years there has been an explosion of bass boats up at the St Lawrence in June. Hardly ever seen more than a few in a day before then. All now with 4 12”+ screens each with a dude on the front of the boat finding the bass on the beds while looking through a “traffic cone”. I’ve plucked a few fish off beds once in a great while, but man this is just gross to watch….

Well as the song says 

 

" The parting on the left is now parting on the right " or so I hope come Nov , if we get there  . And the left is going to be OK with the same thing happing to them , RIGHT? What's that saying about paybacks ?

 

There are so many people and companies that did the same exact thing he was convicted of . 

 

There are many of our brave warriors that sacrificed so much in past wars fighting against what is now going on in this country . 

 

I hope you guys that were so outspoken about the right are happy with your choice and the consequences we are now dealing with .  

No, they will die on that hill. I didn’t want the chaos of Trump back in, but I now wanna see grown up people cry on tv.

When I need to, I’ll put a SD out with a Gambler Rig on at a bit over 30” long and run this on the bottom with my silver fish spread and it works, but by no means, no matter what others say, the Gambler Rig behind Hammerhead cowbells running under 2mph is way more deadly on lakers.

Looking to add another pair of wire divers this year. Was doing some research on the Coldwaters and found some threads on sticking drag issues. I primarily run Convectors and have upgraded the drags. Saw a few older threads (2021-ish) that said Okuma was supposed to upgrade/address the drag problem. Anybody know if Okuma has followed through?

 

Any thoughts on Coldwaters as diver reels? Would I likely be just as satisfied with upgraded Convectors? I am on a somewhat limited budget, so the better half won't appreciate any suggestions to spend more money. 😉

I have a bunch of the convectors and the coldwaters bought new last March. I used them during the season and thought you had to turn the star a long ways just to get I little more or less drag. Didn’t like it too much, but not the end of the world. Sent them all in to get the upgrade and they seem much better.  Maybe the 2024 reels are better. Just don’t know. BTW I use the convectors for my wires and the CW for riggers and boards. 

I didn’t need to go past 200ish fow all summer to get Salmon and it seemed to be somewhat normal summer temp conditions other than a couple of occasions. With that said, I did notice less fleas most of the time when I was expecting more. No clue the reason, just a fact from my boat.

This usually happens in August.  It looked like this the past couple of years.  It has been extended into the fall more than usual due to the warm temps.  2012 the entire lake was light blue in August.  

How you remember this fact from 2012 I’ll never understand……lol

All are sold.

This is society and America today . 

 

Why not do whatever you want to do? Laws and the Constitution are just pieces of paper that get in the way of that . Break the law and get arrested , no bail and released . We see it everyday on our TV sets . Our enemies test us everyday because they know we are weak and will do nothing . Our own leaders do as they wish with no regard for laws or the people they represent . Monkey see , Monkey do . 

 

And we just sit back and watch it all happen . 

 

Only one leader can save us from all this and turn things around . 

Amen
