OK I'm going to date myself, remember the ESLO spring derby days when the water was no where as clear as it is today. The fish would stay close all day long for the temps. The 4 days of the spring derby had every boat inside 50' with boards to the shore, me included, made for some quick actions, but as said it was fun!

they "snap" on the line any length behind the bait you want, think of setting a line on a rigger but with a dipsy. When they trip just like a dipsy they slide down to your leader swivel. Not sure on wire, never used on their

crazy when they they will hit. It sounds to me that the lure was going very very slow because you were letting it out on the board.

what about the couple I see in the background?

I do have holes in the bottom w lead and yes the pull prety good, was just thinking of a lillte extra, you know how we get.... Lol

I wont be able to make it, however can you post back the news or a link to the outcome. I would be very interested in this.

thank you Scott

Were on the way

that's funny!! I think there staying the week end   

I have some 30 year old homemade double wood boards, work great actually. I was getting things ready yesterday  thinking about how they could be improved without buying new ones like otter bds with a keel. 

How about

taking a 8oz torpedo weight and hanging it off the inside board, or trial and error to find a right balance point. I believe it would help control jumping in heavy water and maybe even cause the board to pull harder. I thinking of a 2' lead to make sure it would never come out of the water, thoughts??

For what it's worth I'm with my second "mutt" both from rescues and like yours work their tails off. I do however feel deer search is a great club for bringing KIDS into what we all love on this forum. Too many kids are not being introduced to the outdoors today. I get so much enjoyment out of finding a deer for a first year hunter that keeps me coming back for more and educating them along the trail.

Deer search is a non profit, with our donations going to kids to get them interested in hunting and fishing. I too am DEC licensed.

My avatar is my tracking dog, very good mutt at it too.

Cant beat a pointer for grouse, problem is they are (grouse) so few a far between in WNY. Great pic!

I see a couple guys use dogs to find dead deer, you should join Deer Search, then you can do it legally during hunting season

What ever net you get put a clip on the handle to hold the net tight to the handle, then the weight of the fish releases it. Helps to get the fish IN the net

good job on this!

Check out the Olcott area, great piers, great docks, great place for fisherman

Upper river? I was trying to reply to the 33" brown from my phone

Upper river?

Trolling with boards, I have my rigger rods and dipsys

I like Diawa stuff, but what do you use for rods?

Interested, can you shoot me a pm, i can't figure how from my phone

I just got my order, I think it arrived the same day Hammerhead got my check! Great looking, thanks again

Was running 2 at 0 and 1 at 1.5 turned to sharp took a half hour to get the mess fixed

when we see that the old saying is ("don't cry....retie) it usually is quicker than untangling. lol

Do you know the height with it loaded on the trailer?

Get a small loop size of the netting itself, its a lot easier on the fish if you are releasing, rubber coated even beter
