I saw this today and wondered if it works well thahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIbzmOmuUVs&feature=player_embeddednks john

Not to change the subject but here is my 2 cents.I ll run 6 jplugs one of which has 17 lb ande line on it. I have caught almost all my kings on that one rod for some reason.Different plugs sometimes.never had a bite off which has been a problem with floracarbon(20 lb)This has been a very durable line bought the large spool over ten years now.

Ive fished the lake since the eighties.The fish always lay on the bottom when the water is warm in september.Its hard to get them now because of the quagas fowling our lures. any black magnum spoon produces especial black frog glow MS.Going back out now.good luck guys

the fish definitly move up and some in close to shore.I tried last night and just one large bass on a j plug.The fish do move out after 800 or so depending on sun.found alot at 60 ft.Also saw many boats down the lake working the same area I was.Good sign they are still active.All action deep was on spoons magnum black green and glow MS or just anything black worked ok(prism tape helped alot)

had alot of awesome hits on my leadcore also.unforuatly many breakoffs also.What am I doing wrong?keep the drag lighter now but still lose fish,im using20 lb floracarbon with 18 lb leadcore,leader breaking Im finding shredded line at the break.

fished mostly west of hughes today 50 to 70 ft of water.Best action was on a mag MS black green and glow tape,i also added prism tape on the back.Caught three browns on it and finaly lost it to a king.Seems Im having trouble with the 20 lb floracarbon leaders Im using.there were alot of fish earlier on the bottom 60 to 70 . Moved alittle deeper but saw few fish inside 135.I took a break and went out later before dusk,The screen was empthy and most of the fish had moved to unknown territory.When I pulled up I had a nice bass about 3 1/2 lbs jplug. I was a pleasant day forsure .My friend Joe did very well out deep on steelhead and kings. As long as the weather cooperates why pull the boat,winter is long enough. They are going to drege the harbor starting tomorrow here. good fishing ,perch are coming soon to sodus if not already here

I heard the other day the muzzles only need 120 degrees to die.Maybe we can steam them somehow along with the gobies.lol

Anyone interested in a nice boat.Motors run and above average condition for boatTwin engine inboards 350 velvet drive s are good.This boat is set up for lake fishing .Asking 7500.00.

I havnt yet but the bass are around,Saw lotsf them on fishfinder to busy chasing phantom salmon

started out the morning with a nice fish.It took alot of line out and had to turn the boat as there was no way I could bring in all that line.Turned the boat and then way off behind i saw a large fish on top rolling,Boya good king i thought.Got alittle closer and saw it wasnt a king but a big sheepshead.Its the second one I have caught now trolling with jplugsfor kings.I guess the fish weighted about maybe 12 pounds later I moved out deeper as the bait had also moved to about 85 ft.I hit some good fish and bait at about 135 .Trolled west to the next point and had two knockoffs on my cowbells ,must be hitting the spiners I thought. Quit early as had business Saw one other boat out near me which moved out further unkmnown his sucess. My guess is with the nice weather I would go deep start at 200.heard good reports this week there. Not fishing tomorrow but do hope some do and get some nice fish. When I did get back my dog set off my downrigger and messed it up .Took two hours and not fixed. Anyone have older cannon electrics find a shutoff switch.This has happened a few timeand was able to fix it till now. But it was such a grand day and the mess with the downrigger was met with humor.my boat mate tasha realy enjoys the fishing and boating also. good fishing all

Lots of bait from 60 to 90 ft.had many hits but a earlier start would bring more fish.Temp is very deep but I now just fish where I find bait pods marks or no marks.Salmon are higher top 45 ft.leadcore and mag frog glow got action.#3 jpug is still producing hitsgreen and silver. I ended up 2 for 7 hits .Lots of bass deep now 50 ft.was loaded today Hope to get out early for a better day tomorrow. Action was better deeper acording to radio traffic.200 to 400 kings. We sure do have wonderful weather to enjoy for awhile.

the boards are amazing.even in the summer with copper they often outproduce downriggers and dipseys.The biggest problem I have is lack of a crew to run all of it..Maybe next year my prodical son will return to trolling,lol.

people today spend to much time being busy and are slow to relax.

Most people buy boats on impulse.I bought mine and paid the price.Luckly the judge ruled in my favor and the seller had to cover the repairs.Small claims court works,i got the max judgement plus interest. If you buy any used boat,i would call a certified marine inspector and pay the few hundred.It will save you alot of uneeded pain. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.

Us old guys need all the help we can get.Long for the days of using the old penn clamped on a old broomstick to crank in the planers.,lol

hi i have a older 9.9 johnson on my 26 searay.The motor works for emergencys but cumbersom for trolling(autopilot works with power sterring off merc best)What size boat do you have and did the honda do the job. thanks john
