  1. I think if you wanted to help him out, you would put the link up to the website where the boat is listed.
  2. There is cool water inside. Boats are trying inside early for staging fish then jetting offshore to fill their box.
  3. Gator, the cold water season has walleyes fighting better. That being said they have the same tactic as lake trout when hooked trolling- open mouth to deploy air bags.
  4. Let’s go Rob, start the 2025 thread. First three shots of the year. The beauty of a hindsight- pick up the bow at any time and just aim it like open sights on a gun. No long hours of practice to get in a groove.
  5. Thanks for clarifying that Jeremy.

  8. Mini rollover has happened. There is a massive fish kill happening. Sheepshead dead or dying in the ten’s of thousands. Really freaky. Seagulls have plucked the eyes out of fish still alive making an army of zombie sheep. With O 2 levels bad, walleye have left the shoal off the Catt. Boats are way offshore to find good water. After graphing no fish on the shoal we decided that the only place with good O2 would be near inshore weeds. We fished along the point off Hanover Bay in 8-12’. It was as an absolute clinic on bass plus two bonus walleye, one mega perch and some sheep on blade baits. Fish out deep got pushed super shallow due to rollover. Everything got condensed

  10. I have not tried the Cudas. The heaviest I have used is the “musky” size.
  11. Not sure what model she is but she sure rides nice.
  12. The Reelin’ for a cure Captain’s meeting is the same night. Any chance this may need to be rescheduled?
  13. I have a friend that has been fishing out of Sturgeon Pte along the Canadian line and getting his limits.
  14. Cool, thanks.
  15. Have not seen many reports from these lakes. I have a new to me 1978 Penn Yan that needs to eat!
  16. This is the usual fight I get from Atlantics. They play opossum until you net them. Caught one last week. Lots around this year so not sure what is going on with stocking? Perhaps there was a hatch in some trib of naturals? Hell must have frozen over.
  17. I was running a boat with zero electronics but a fellow fisherman told me that the thermocline was at 72-78’
  18. You don’t have to clear a side if you place the rod as high as you can reach and go SLOW out the back. After you get to length, let it ride down the chute a bit before clipping in on your board planer line. You have to allow time for the leadcore or copper to rise in the water column before it can slide over your dipsys. I usually stand on my I/O dog box to get more elevation
  19. You picked good times! Off year.
  20. At that range, look for a used Grady. They come up for sale on occasion
  21. Also remember composite = construction with different materials. Wood/fiberglass/gelcoat is technically a composite material. As others stated a marine survey is a good idea. I would ask the owner if you could pull some screws from transom hardware to see if they were properly sealed. Water coming out of the holes or black soft wood on the threads means possible transom problems.
  22. Fished three hours this morning and was skunked. Tried for kings for an hour and noticed the fleet struggling and then all leave for deep water so went in close for browns for two hours. Never had a sniff. What a difference a year makes. Olcott has had an “off” year.
  23. Quick hitter before the winds came. Just missed the board with these two. Bonus Atlantic. 7 am start time, in the diner eating breakfast by 9 am. Crazy bite of giant browns.
  24. Not bad for zero electronics.
