  1. Tournament tomorrow so follow the boats.....but not too closely.
  2. I will start. After 18 years I decided it was time for new bow.
  3. Agree, trebles mangle but singles kill (at least my experience with kings).
  4. Probably carp fishermen.
  5. You cleaned the bilge area out. Perfect!
  6. Nobody is issuing tickets right now due to COVID-19.
  7. Or buy spoons with heavy bend. Discontinued Hookster spoons can be found in consignment tackle stores or eBay. R&R tackle Kodiak Wobblers and Northport Nailer wild thing spoons are two spoon products available to purchase on line. R&R tackle -email Dave at mytackle box.com and tell him you are interested in Kodiak wobbler blanks. He can paint up whatever you want or go on Northportnailer.com for northportnailers. The extra bend gives tremendous side to side action at slow speeds. A good tool to have in arsenal.
  8. Despite etech’s excellent track record on reliability and safety towards the environment, there have been rumors that states were considering the banning of non-four strokes for water quality. I think those rumors spooked potential buyers.
  9. This time of year chase the green water. Look at satellite images on modis Great Lakes site. Case in point, there is a report of someone catching kings offshore near Devil’s Nose. If you look at the satellite image from that day, you can see a detached piece of green water that made it offshore. That water might be gone in 24 hours.
  10. Can’t you turn off the bottom track feature?
  11. Shorten leads and when lowering, have rigger rod in hand placing directional pressure on rigger weight away from nearest line ie pull to the starboard for starboard rigger, pull straight out back from middle rigger and pull to the port for port rigger weight. The number one reason you are getting tangles is make sure lines are running straight out the back when lowering. For this reason I usually figure out which way the down current is running and try to head straight into it. If your gear is angling back across the transom you will have more tangles. The other reason is small fish pulling line lateral but not popping the release.
  12. “Wife wants them”.......funny, sounds like deer attractant to me.
  13. Might be a moonshine spoon but can’t really tell.
  14. My brother has been struggling to find walleyes so far this year. Muddy water has plagued the water off the Catt. I thought I would throw my hat into the ring and see if we could find them. Trailered my rig to small boat harbor and took up a troll along the international border but ended a three hour act of futility early. Marked some nice bait pods but almost no predators around them. Perhaps they are still in the Niagara feasting on the strong Emerald Shiner run this year. Oh well, I guess we will have to wait for Ohio fish to show.
  15. Well.... you ain’t a nube anymore.
  16. Great footage and action as per usual. However, the background music sounded like someone was strangling a squirrel lol.
  17. Boat not fixed yet as this is a busy time for boat guys. Zero walleyes tonight.
  18. Mission accomplished on South end.
  19. I threw my hat in the ring. Bluegills for fish fry first order of business, then casting for walleyes tonight (Otisco).
  20. Don’t worry about having the latest, they are hitting everything. A cigarette with a treble will probably work right about now.
  21. Boat doctors are open.
  22. Last I checked slippery sinker closed. Wilson Harbor might have their shop open.
  23. I use two Weldon pad releases per line on anything longer than 4 colors. A single Weldon Pad per 4 colors or less. Bury the braid 3/4 into the pad.
