empty hook

had a fish hawk sold it got a depth raider now. had the same battery in it since may, it dosent jump around, never looses signal, cheeper. i would look into a coated cable one not putting down a sub troll or a cannon never used them. by now i would have gone though a case of 9 volts with the hawk and swore at it 1000 times for loosing signal. my 2 cents

hey Brad good seeing you again, thanks for all you guys did for the event from Savant spoons. I help load the bags there with you and couldnt belive the spoons you guys put in. Glad to see your Jordan made the trip with you and I think your in trouble now with a salmon partner for life. I agree with all above but it was the first one and a little adjustment is always in order after it. when putting this together it was just a few guys kicking it around on the internet for a fun family derby that grew to unbeliveable proportions. infact if you look at it there was more boats entered in this then the pro am. i hope noone ops out after this one and give it a go next year if it is done again. after running a deer contest for 10 years for our fire dept. i can attest to the difficulty to get something going smoothly. the more it is done the better it gets. Im sure that the communication between the managment and contestants will get better this year. Thanks to Beth and Mike, Rich D, Ron J, Chris Y and all the other people that helped out. this was my first tourny with my boat and we had some fun in it. looking foward to next year.

Fished the Little Salmon River Challenge on saturday. Team Empty Hook ended up 17th place. a great day to be on the water, the day started off slow with a small king and steelie landed. we kept heading North toward sandy pond area and found the kings in 165 fow. the dipsey were the main go to set up with a green spin/hammer fly and a white echip with hammer fly. riggers that went where a white echip/ glow white fly and a green echip with glow green fly. the small fish hit spoons down the shoot. we boxed our limit of 9 fish and headed off the water by 9:30 in the morning. a nice tourny and thanks go out to mike and beth of mikes marina, Rich D, Ron J, Chris Y and so many ohters for putting it on. congrads to all that placed and hope to do it again double on the dipseys

if it looks like bait,smells like bait it must be bait! i always run it on my spoons, i did a scent experiment a few years ago, i split the boat in half, one side with scent the other with out, the side with scent took more fish so i added one rod with scent on the other side and it took a hit, now all get scent. before setting l;ines put some on your hands to hide any neg. scent smells..it makes the morning doughnuts taste better too!!

you cant beat the over hand knot, im sure thats the one thats one there. quick, easy and it holds.

hey Rich, i see you guys did better then we went out thats great! wheres the pics? i hope quitting early you didnt have boat trouble or something. see ya next weekend at the LSRC..

Yankee, are you running the blacks release with the clip so you can take the probe off when not in use? i just rigged one up last weekend to run under my DR probe and havent tried it out yet, going to give it a go this weekend, any issues with it rigged like that?

way to go sounds like a great day for you. by yourself thats a feet in itself to land a king. good luck in the future indevours on the lake hope your drag screams and your nets are heavy! you`ll be hook for life like the rest of us and broke to boot in all the equipment funding. good luck and stay safe out there.

het clarke, i fished with rich d and talked with you on sunday and didnt know it was even you. nice to meet you now i can out a face with you lol. glad everything turned out good for you guys with the ruff start saturday. guess you were lucky enuff. Empty Hook

run 30 pound line due to the water fleas. the 30 pound will not collect them like 20 pound will and save you a whole lot of headaches in the long run. i run 30 pound ande line and have not had a problem yet this year with it even though the fleas are getting heavy. run a full spool on reels like the daiwa 47lc size. better to have a little more then to hear that dreaded SNAP becuse you skimped. in the trolling buisness get the good stuff because the cheep will not hold up to the mighty king.

star brite hull cleaner ,spay it on wash it off. ifits real bad just a little brushing. the stuff just melts offf the grime great stuff, used it on my bayliner ciera for a while

your going to like that boat had mine now for 2 years and they fish great, nice high gunnels so you dont take a spill overboard. good luck with it!

hey now thats a great looking boat! needs to be red though. thanks for all the tips on the crestliners

Hey Glenn, I saw you out htere lurking around lol. it was a nice one, average steelie but full of spunk and flies from the river. took 2 out of him and there was other holes where more were. he must have been sitting up top in the river for a while. here is a pic of the steelie and the last brown we got that day he was 8 pounder, nice football to end the day off.

fished in front of catfish 40-45 fow down 15-30 feet. 3 browns and a nice steelie off the dipsey. steelie took a rapala blue silver and orange and tail walked across the back of the boat. browns came 15 feet down and hit anything that was blue silver with a splash of orange on it. droped one more brown all in all not to bad went 4 for 5 calm seas and sunshine. see Steelie Stalker we do get fish!

bump reduced $800.00

Hey Tom was that you that was nice to Muskey? dont give away all the secrets i showed you as we caught no fish that day.

where is this located and how can i get a hold of you. interested in your boat. [email protected]

for sale a 1995 Johnson 2 stroke 9.9 hsp kicker long shaft remote steering. comes with brand new extra carb kit also. $850.00 OBO located in central NY or can bring to Mexico Bay area.

we pick them up sat am in 15-18 fow 6 foot down off the riigers and 100 feet back on the planners. we ran them way back off the riggers. water was 50-53 deg in there sat then as you worked out to 30 + fow it dropped fast. this was in front of selkirk to the big salmon river. good luck

for a deck cleaner you cant beat Starbrite deck cleaner. just spay it on give it a little brushing and hose it off. Bright white after your done. for the hull they make a hul cleaner that is the best i have found also. if its not too bad spray it on hose it off, if its kept in the water spray, brush then hose it off. the stuff isnt that bad on price either unless you buy it at west marine then you pay twice as much for it. i get it at walmart for about $7 a bottle. 23 footer takes 2 bottles for the hull, deck 1-2 bottle for the season. good luck.

sounds good Chris if Im done there Ill give you a hand.

sounds like you guys had a blast. seems every one up and down the southern coast is doing well so far. keep up the good work, maybe Ill see ya this weeknd, might come up for a day to open up the camper.
