I love it, a friend of mine had his set up in the front yard. I asked how mad his wife would be, he was using her iron board. He said he got his at a second hand store. It really is slick, It's a wonder there not sold in tackle stores across Americe. I have a flex hose with a shower head on mine that adjusts

The best cleaning and cuttin board money can buy, is an old iron board. The one that has the grill top. Fish will not slip and the fluids drip through to the ground. You can take the garden hose and rinse it off on the lawn.I found mine at a second hand store for $ 5.00. Your back will not hurt from bending over, just adjust the board to your height. I know Ray you think this is a joke as well, but it is not...

The trains out here do. They even went right through Wongs home office and onto the field behind it. Also boats with out drain plugs float. There is also a movie star on every block. Great thing my home town the pop is only 18 ( thats no joke there )

They want to make us part of the state of jeferson, ever who he is. and we have an exchange rate between California and Oregon, have not be told what it's going tobe yet . It's a hell of a day at sea capt. Now lets all go fishing

Send it out here to me, I need to get some new gear

This lake is just north of me across the border, up hwy 97. I fish it till the snow gets to deep or it ice's over. Yesterday we went after browns and ony caught one 13" er..I lost 4 lures dragging bottom for browns. Surface temp at 47.6 degrees

You had better get ready to hide your guns

Well it's like this. My old Grand Dad said men drink Scotch and woman drink beer.Maybe she just being nice

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Poor old Ray messed it up some how. I told him to double wrap it in foil. Some how he wrapper in butcher paper , then ran it throught the dishwasher twice..What can I say..Now his wife is upset with him. I am packed and Headed to Oregon at 5;30a, for big lake trout ( mackinaw )..Good luck Ray . Wait till you get a deer or a bear and tell you how to make sausage... By the way Ray--Joe the plumer cooks his salmon this way

hey guys thats for all the help.. and web info

Ray

You did some thing wrong in the dishwasher. I have never had a problem .. Give it another try, when the wife is out.. Or I could have my son stop by and show you.. He lives in Fombell Pa

There is a lake in California call Lake Oroville. It's the only lake in the whole state they stock Coho's in. In the winter , you have a hard time getting below the little guys to get bigger fish. They are a real pain in the rear.

When you say flashers, do you mean dodgers ? cowbells,or stright flashers.

I use cowbells for mackinaw ( lake trout ) only and for kings have always used dodgers 00 size and some 12"

Oh yes I know the j-plugs and do use them. The record King of of my home lake is 18lbs. The ave around 4-5 lbs.My best on Shasta Lake is 8.2 lbs . See out here we all used rolled shad. now I have gotten into spoons , flies and dipsy divers, I have been out fishing most. Even some of my guide ( capt's ) friends. I have in the past used the white color

Out here on the west coast, the Kings are going to start staging in the next couple of weeks. My question is, what do you all find better. Spoons or stickbaits for these staging Kings ? Please be specific on colors and brand. Now are lakes are not clear like yours. 2 feet visibility at the most. Thanks for any help.

Reno is about 3 hours south east of us here. But hey always have time to go fishing let me know.. Just 20 min out of reno are some monster trout

No problem, sun on it's way. Send us your rain . Our lakes are vary low the last 3 years. The flatlanders are going to be in a hurt for water in the summer of 2009

From way out west, we call lake trout, Mackinaw. The way I fish for them is a 6" white Grand Slam Bucktail with a large wiggle fin on the nose. 26" to 30" leader with a Gold flodger. Off the 15lb ball is a 180' set back.

Trolling speed 2.2 to 2.4 mph

For stick biats I use the Cisco Kid Husky or the Wrangler. Off the downrigger ball of 15lbs a set back of 180' to 220'

We find cowbells and such will move the fish away or not bite at all.

Trolling speed 2.2 to 2.8 mph

Just a west coast 2 cents worth

Well I headed to my all time favorite small lake today, looking for browns. nothing but rainbows. Not even as big as yesterdays. But thought you guys would like to see some pictures of here, in the north country The lake is down 20'

I posted up some pictures , from a trip yesterday 10-22. Silver Streak spoons and planner boards we caught over 24 fish. What a blast. People that saw what we were doing , caught up with us at the boat ramp, and I just had to show and tell for a couple of hours. They are on the small lake board

I went back to edit this, but it would not let me in. Sorry

This is one of our many northern Calif lakes, there on the most part small lakes

Yesterday my good friend says lets go fishing at 2:30pm . He had his boat and I had mine I got there at 3;15pm . We hooked up over 24 rainbow , all where released but 8. All caught on Silver Streak spoons. Just thought you guys would like to see are north lakes. Were about 65 miles from the Oregon Border

Just about dark, everynight I get 35 to 40 wood ducks the drop out of the sky onto my ponds. Yesterday morning arout 7am a flock of mallards locked wing and landed on my middle pond. Sorry guys no hunting, just looking. We also get deer and black bear on the property

I am know expert, I just got into dipsy divers last year as well. I started off with 30# braid ., on two of my rods. Oh let me tell you about the tangles with the downriggers. But after asking , how to set the dive. It was a cake walk. Three months after I got a okma wire rod and 1,000 feet of malin 30# wire , Daiwa sg4lca reel. I have always use line counters to get me back in the strike zone. Man your goin to love them after , you master them. I now get more fish off the dipsy divers than my downriggers. Still do not know why yet.

Hey thanks for all the help Bob
