  1. Hey guys are there any safe access to the genny? I hate Seth green and I just want to fish there without fearing for my stuff [ Post made via Android ]
  2. Hahaha very nice but I was referring to the great lakes salmon. And of course when they are silver only a numskull would eat them when they turn [ Post made via Android ]
  3. Eaten both and I gotta say I prefer the Ho's. Which do you guys prefer?

    Braddocks

    Think braddocks will be fishable this weekend with the cold nights rolling in? [ Post made via Android ]
  5. Hey guys, I wanted to post this topic and see what some of you knowledgeable charter captains and fisherman have to say about this. First off let me say that I never eat fish out of the creek when they are spawning and running but I would like to keep a lake caught brownie or salmon. The silver bullet smaller fish are the ones I would keep and I would like to take browns, coho, and kings (heard the bows are a little on the gamey side). However, I have not eaten the fish cause the mercury crap scares me away. Now you guys keep fish all the time for clients, the smoker, general consumption, etc.... is the mercury warning really that bad? I mean by the time a salmon is properly filleted it has all the dark toxin meat taken off and the fat removed. Furthemore I think that most heavy metals end up in the fishes organs which are not eaten. I was also told that when fish are tested for mercury levels the whole fish is ground up and tested and obviously the whole fish is not eaten. I am just curious how you guys view eating salmon and what you may know. I just want to put my mind at ease and enjoy a darn salmon steak every now and again!
  6. Hey guys, by now I am sure you are familiar with the Milwuakee Harbor tactics of casting for trout and salmon when they come into the harbor after upwellings. The setup is simple, just find the bait and the fish then cast a swimming jighead with a fluke on the back using essentially bass tackle. My question is would this method work well for coho, kings, and browns in springtime. As I launch out of sandy creek in Hamlin, I was thinking about hitting watomua shoal with this tactic early in the year while the water is still cold. With the structure there the bait has to be thick and the chance of getting a big hog on light tackle pretty good. Any input? [ Post made via Android ]
  7. Use heavy jigs obviously and find the structure. Browns and Lakers can be quite structure oriented so make jigging drops on any bottom irregularities you can find. Also find bait pods and drop through those. Rip jigging would probably be the most effective way to cover water quickly. Drifting will be a problem so maybe get a drift bucket or sock. Slow trolling a spoon of the three way swivel would pound the lakers and browns as well. Good chance at a nice size smallmouth should keep this interesting as well.
  8. Haha smart move [ Post made via Android ]
  9. Quick question, I notice your on the docks like most of the pike guys but I was wondering if a tip up spread right of the point could be a good location. I know pike like points and that particular one seperates the more sheltered part of the bay to the lake side of the bay. Seems prefect to me, any input? [ Post made via Android ]
  10. well the ice is okay but the fishing was pretty bad with few perch to be found. I managed two nice ones and everyone around me was catching them very sporadically and in small numbers. they must not be in the bay very good. Pike guys were doing ok though [ Post made via Android ]
  11. Garbage. Two nice ones is all I got today [ Post made via Android ]
  12. Sweet as will I. Gonna perch it up, how many inches of ice we talking? [ Post made via Android ]
  13. Tonight will be three real cold nights in a row, think it will be safe tomorrow (Fri) morning? [ Post made via Android ]

  15. So I wired it according to shellbacks specifications and I got the 12v part of the motor running but I still couldn't get the 24 side running. Well I took the volt meter to the batteries and it turns out that they are only putting out about eight volts each and 16v in series. So I check the output at the outlet and the prongs responsible for the 12v side of the motor is putting out around 9 so close enough to get the 12v part running, but the 24 volt prongs that pull from the series which is putting out 16v at the prongs, so I am assuming that is way to low to get the 24v running. Anyway I freshly charged these batteries so it wasnt that. But they are old batteries and I am assuming they were not correctly maintained before I got the boat. So is it time for new batteries?
  16. K sweet I will give that a shot. No I don't think it did cause the motor ran on a 12v before I wanted to go to the 12/24 [ Post made via Android ]
  17. Well I was assuming the white wire is simply a different coloring scheme indicating that the wire was a negative. Anyway I tried running the wires to the battery as you suggested (just two connects to each battery) but that did not work. So I will try running the Orange to the pos post of battery 2 in the series but what then would I do with the white wire? [ Post made via Android ]
  18. Hey guys I am no electrician but let me show you my problems via pictures so you can better understand my issues you can see here I am wiring up a system for my motorguide Brute 67 here is the foot pedal with the 12/24 volt selection now you can see from these pics that I have the batteries wired in series with the jumper running from one battery to the other, now here is the confusing part.I am working with a four prong outlet and it has four wires running to the back. So by wiring the batteries in series I am effectively not using these two cables. these are the cables. So these cables are colored orange and white while I have the main black and red cables wired to the batteries. So here you can see the four wires come to the back of the four prong female outlet. They are all there but the black is hidden behind the red a little bit and the smaller wires run to other gauges up front but they are irrelevant. So now its apparent that the orange and white are attached for some reason. Now you can see here with the batteries wired up with the red and black cable and in series it is giving out alot of juice. My meter up front cant go any higher and would seem to indicate that 24v are indeed being produced. So here is the male four prong plug. Anyway now that I know I have juice up front I plug the motor in and press the pedal and I get nothing! I have no clue why I am getting nothing and I think it might have something to do with the nonuse of the white and orange wires. Please help!

    laker help

    Hey guys I just wanted some info on how to ice lakers on either canadice or hemlock. Basically I just want to know if you can fish the lake trout with out all the fancy equipment. I don't have a vexilar unit and I don't have special jigging rods. I realize you need heavier gear so I figured I would spool up the rods I have and grab some tubes and swedish pimples. my plan would to be to drill a hole jig it up and down the water column for around 20 minutes and if nothing is home keep moving. what would you guys recommend for putting the lakers on the ice?
