    Rescue off oak orchard !?

    I'll 2nd that...I cannot tell you how many times I've rolled up the creek first thing in the the morning with the bigger boats passed the breakwall and drove rite around it and back down the creek..in a way it kinda hurts your pride watching them motor right on by and head for the fish but I respect the people who are on my boat and would rather live to fish another day.... with that being said if someone wants to take risks on their own boat with their own life at stake that's one thing but when it comes to others who are trusting you to keep them safe on your boat whether your recreational fishing or chartering in my opinion no risks should be taken period.

    And THAT is what ticked me off about this whole situation. Everyone was quick to jump on me for being callous and "heartless" but to me that was a needless death. Accident or not. It was no accident they were there.
    I'm out!

    You have to be kidding me......totally heartless and classless. You must be perfect Paul
     
    My thoughts go out to the family



    Never said I was perfect. I'm also not "heartless or classless". But if this is the same guy that was boasting around the marinas about "fishing in anything" and "fishing when all the charters cancel" he was/is stupid.
    Since the only other witness is dead I guess we will have to believe whatever he says but I, and several of my colleagues, witnessed firsthand some pretty ridiculous behavior from a certain individual this week. Taking a 19 or 20 foot boat 10-15 miles offshore with a hard south wind and then running it as hard as it was seen running clearly demonstrates arrogance and a lack of respect for what the lake can do. I'm also pretty sure this is the same boater that was out in the 4-6 footers last saturday when there was only 2 or 3 charters out and he was later heard boasting about "fishing in anything when all the charters cancelled".

    All I did was call it as I see it. I may be wrong but maybe not. [emoji15]

    That’s a little harsh Paul. One of the guys is a frequent poster on this site. Things happen.

    Is this the same guy in the Tracker that was heard boasting about "fishing in anything" and "going out when all the charters cancel"???

    My assessment came from several first hand reports about his flippant attitude and lack of concern for conditions.

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    The last few trips I've been seeing a decent amount of fish come up to the ball, sometimes follow, then nothing.   Didn't get many rigger bites those days.  Anybody else experience this?  I"m running 20lb main line right to swivel.  Running 20 to 30 feet behind ball.  Thinking about putting on about 10ft of fluorocarbon for leader.  


    If you're seeing them with their nose on the rigger ball and you're running 20-30' leads the fish is focused on the ball and not your bait. Shorten your leads. At least the one they are keying on.

    What to run on copper opinions

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    I think the key here is "long" coppers. It is the length of time bringing in the fish  say on a 600 copper that is critical. I don't use anything longer than 300 and add weight if needed. 100 yds (length of a football field) is a long way behind the boat just for the wire alone.



    If you're "fun fishing" you shouldn't be fishing any copper. They're definitely not "fun" and they kill everything that they catch.

    What to run on copper opinions

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    I'll be the one to disagree with this one. A big flasher/meat rig in NO WAY guarantees a "big fish".
    In fact, I think more small fish are killed or injured on meat rigs on long coppers than anything. They simply can't resist meat---anywhere you put it.
    This year, especially, it seems the smaller fish are more attracted to meat than the bigger fish. Meat catches big fish but it also catches just as many small ones but kills more of them because of the nature of the rig.

    Want to stop killing "small fish"? Stop running long coppers and deep riggers that don't quickly telegraph a bite.

    Small fish getting killed by accident is something that happens. The rig has nothing to do with it.
    Btw......some of my biggest kings this year have come on spoons---SMALL SPOONS!

    Modified Inline Planer Boards

    in Tackle Description

    Posted

    I did all of those mods last year on my Church and Offhore boards.  None of it helped.  Pulling deep diving cranks or jet divers on erie for walleye.  The boards just don't plane out far enough.  I wouldn't dare trying to run 2 boards per side.
     
    Im done jacking around with them.  I got some Cisco reels and pulleys and some Auroralite boards on the way.


    Then you didn't do it right.
    There's a reason all the walleye pros run inlines in the big walleye tournies. The Michigan tournament boats run all inlines pulling everything up to 450 coppers. I've personally seen them running 4 to a side.

    Good luck with your big boards.

    Wille Side-Liner Planer Boards?

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Has anyone used or owned a set of these inline planer boards? What are your thoughts on them? It looks like the line "release" is different than on newer boards. Do they track well with deep diving baits? Are the comparable to Church Walleye board or Off-Shore boards?



    Willy boards are dinosaurs compared to the newer Church or Offshore boards. However, they track very well pulling "brown trout sticks" or "buckshot rigs" and I run them every spring.
    Not big enough for anything more than a 2 color core though but they are great boards.

    Who Uses TX-44 Planer Boards?

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Thanks for the info and the links Garymny! I run my Yellow Bird boards so they release when a fish hits, and the board drops back to a bead at the font of my leader. I was wondering how I could rig the TX44 boards to do that too.


    You don't want your 44's to drop down the line. Learn to fight the fish with the board on the line and take it off manually. You'll be much happier and won't spend any time chasing down broken off boards.

    I do plan on taking a trip or 2 to get a little more hands on, was hoping to pick up a few “cancellation” trips maybe a little discounted. I’ve fished walleye for years but now I’d be foolish to not take advantage of being so close to this fishery (15
    minutes to launch) I made the trip out to brewerton today and picked up some stuff, bigger net, bunch of spin doctors and 20-30 different spoons, few flies. The more I read all the info on here the more I think a trip is best, so many different opinions and options, plus my rig is smaller than most, that will come into play sooner or later too

    The price of a charter will more than pay for itself in answering all your questions. Several of us at Oak Orchard (Wilson in May) offer "instructional charters" which will take years off your learning curve. Just FYI

    Who Uses TX-44 Planer Boards?

    Thanks for the info and advice. I have a pair of the standard size Yellow Birds as well, I've had them for three years and use them on the smaller lakes in my 16ft boat.
     
    My concern is pulling inline boards in 1-2ft choppy waters. I don't know if the Walleye boards, the OR-12's or the yellow birds would work well in those conditions. Never tried it before.
     
    I'm not running a mast and pulleys on my Crestliner, so I'm looking for a couple sizes of inline boards that will work in most conditions and for multi-species.



    I've run walleye boards in 6-8 footers and they ride fine.
    12# is way too light for 44's.
