Seasquirell,

I have a buddy w/ a cottage just north of lodi and watches the guys catch fish there. Where do you put your weight on and how far behind the mainline is your teardrop?

Also try dragging 2" plastics above a heavy sinker. I know a couple guys that do well w/ that.

Ditto to what legacy said. I've never had a problem and their's no screwing w/ a rubber band when a fish comes in on the main line. I don't stack alot, but when I do, that's what I use.

Jerry,

I think in a few years your daughter will be answering these questions and not you. From what my dad said, she kicked your arse fishing perch a couple of weeks ago!

Blk/slvr evil eye and a fishlander dark purple w/ chart. on 1 outside edge.

Most of the time it's in the middle of my spread.

I told you I was good.

Small Hi-techs of the boards work grrrrrrreat! Slow troll or they'll be surfing.

Havn't any of you guys noticed fleas the last 2 years on your 30# line? The last 2 years I had to use 40# and it worked. 30# was loaded w/ fleas. Apparently their is a new strain of flea out there that is bigger.

I'm going to have 5 rods w/ 20# fleaflicker and 5 rods w/ my 14# big game. No more screwing around w/ fishing line when july hits.

My suggestion is to put 20# fleaflicker w/ 15# floro leader on your two rods until the end of june then run straight fleaflicker from july till the end of the season.

4 of us today. 3 perch guys and one pike guy. 45 perch and no pike. Fatheads on tip-downs and some on horizontal jigs. Size was down compared to a couple of weeks ago. Everyone going back to their cars said they got about squat.

Their was a couple dozen out there when I went over the bridge at 4pm. :shock: Not good.

I have a feeling tuesday's weather is going to beat it up pretty bad. Too bad, we've been doing better there lately.

At least next time we know where to start. Trying to find landmarks in the dark sucked.

It all has to do w/ what is popular at a certain time. Right now a ton of people are caught up in the popularity of flies right now. Their was a time when at least half of your spread were j-plugs. The more a certain product is in the water, the more chance we will see leaderboard fish caught on them.

Run what you do the best with at tournament time. Practice and experiment when it's not.

No pike and I didn't see one caught by anyone. 2 of us kept 7 nice perch but the fishing was painfully slowwwww. The wind sucked too!

(3) Penn Fathom Master rigger rods. 8-15# Graphite and 8.5'. $15 each or $40 for all.

5000yd spool of 14# cajun red mono. $25

Bill,

Navionics Gold full lake ontario- XLUS648XL

Phone # is 1-800-848-5896

This was purchased 2 years ago.

Hope this helps.

When we bought gold, it only came w/ one chip and the contour lines were included. This was about 1-2 years ago. I'll call my dad and confirm this info. He has everything at his house.

Yes their are contour lines, but they are very spread out after about 100' or so. I havn't been on the boat since labor day, so I'm going on memory here. Personaly, I think 200.00 is over priced.

We have the navionics gold and like it a lot. It is very usefull for the bar area. Our covers the whole lake and we've had it for a couple years now. It was a $200.00 chip.

At least the entertainment of one of our nearby fishermen kept us laughing!

Rob(Legacy) and I ended up w/ 90 perch and probobly caught at least 3 times that many. We were using tip-downs w/ fatheads. Ice is going to be iffy from now till the next cold spell. Oh yea, forgot about the token bullhead I caught. :shock:

I've read 1 book and thought the same thing. It's almost like he doesn't want to share too many of his personal secrets. Very basic. Any one of us could have wrote that kind of info. Maybe his other book is better? I don't know.

I think I'll be shore fishing wednesday.

15 tip downs and a bunch of dinks. We kept about 20-25. Caught some perch and blue gills jigging also. No dog fish today. Sorry Rob.

I should of took a picture. I saw the camera in your sled too!
