I put these on my mag10 stx. I bought the hd models for weights up to 20#. I breath easier now Fish Thief Heavy Duty Downrigger Snubber Twin Pack, Black

Fished solo this morning had to get out to 300 fow to find temps very quiet screen. Few pods here and there. Caught 3 skippy cohos and then nothing for an hour hmmm better check lines. Sure enough a 10 inch Atlantic. Never tripped the release. Swam away to grow up. All hits on spoons nbk was the ticket 🎫

P-R act placed an 11 % tax on long guns , ammo and archery equipment and a 10% tax on handguns. The monies collected MUST be used for outdoor programs

There are two different species of flea. The spiny water flea and the fishhook flea. The fish hooks are the hardest to get off your line. They are tenacious. They also smell worse than the spinys Spiny and fishhook waterfleas prefer large, deep, clear lakes, but can also be found in shallower waters. Spiny waterfleas move to deeper, cooler waters during the day and swim towards the water surface at night to feed, while fishhook waterfleas stay near the surface. this is a problem for us fisher people, we fish deep for the salmonids , so we are in spiny flea territory , but our lines cut through the top layers and into fishhook territory. Hate the critters

Landed 4 steelies ( all small , 12-16 inches) , 4 shaker kings and lost two bigger , landed one decent. All clean , no lampreys or scars

Also, keep in mind that just because your sonar is telling you that your bait is at 100 ft depth , it’s NOT Your depth finder is actually a distance finder It’s showing your weight at 100 , that’s 100 ft from the transducer , not 100 ft depth. Because of blowback , you may need to let out a lot more cable to actually reach 100 ft depth.

I always release them. In at least 4 pieces

Don’t forget waiting an hour in line to launch. The good ole days 😝

I’ve caught too many fish to count using long lines. I use neutral buoyancy stick baits ( husky jerks ) to stop the problem of snagging bottom. A lot of early spring fishing is done in 5 ft of water

We fished before boards were introduced. I fish the Eastern end of the lake. Oswego harbor to nine mile pt. Was our stomping grounds loooong lines are key. In shallow water the boat spooks the fish , so very long ( 150-175 ) lines are necessary. Good luck

All very interesting answers. I agree that Brandon is an inept , probably demented , total disaster. But we can put our money where our mouths are. I just sent a healthy donation to a BBB accredited Ukraine relieve website. I’ll buy less tackle and fuel if it means helping these poor refugees . The US should open its borders to these displaced women and children. Brandon doesn’t mind the illegal immigrants from our southern border. Let’s give these people a home. Temporary or permanent. And it’s time to think about stopping Putin before it’s too late. He doesn’t seem to fear radiation ☢️

That “big rich company “ is assemblyman Will Barkley. He went to court and got a ruling that he owned 2.5 miles of prime fishing water on the salmon River because he owned property on both banks of the river , he owned the bottom of the river It is trespassing to wade the river in this stretch He is making a fortune charging to fish , what I maintain is public fishing If this Pay for access continues , fishing will be limited to those that can afford the fees. The rich get richer. No one should “own” a stream.
