Thanx man, it was a bad pic i couldnt get a hold of her she was just covered in slime. First one over 20 lb though [ Post made via iPhone ]

the derby is almost over and its time to start thinking pike and musky again, this is my 44 incher from this spring my pb.

We like to troll the drop from bluffers all the way to leslie spit sometimes and our problem seems to b that when we encounter a boat they never give an inch and we go from 100 or so ft of water to either 70 or 200 to go around. By the time we get back on the drop( especially if there multiple boats)and clean the riggers if were shallow we ve lost a half hour of good fishing. If guys would move to the deep or shallow edge we could share no problem, however they A. Dont care B. Arent watching where they are going. Or C. Intentionally stay in the middle because they feel they are somehow entitled.although this can get the blood boiling we do our best to get out of the way because we simply cant afford to have some a$&@?($& cut our gear off with a rigger. While we do go around we watch the finder and the rods and see if we can pick up some info before we resume our troll. Who knows mabe the big one is one wide turn away.

Does it come with a trailer? [ Post made via iPhone ]

Hopefully this all gets sorted out, it doesnt seem fair that people can get away with this loss of property. There should be accountability on the water. Good luck guys [ Post made via iPhone ]

20lbs thats awesome any pics? [ Post made via iPhone ]

I use a lot of swivels but i tie all my flouro leads from dipsey to flasher or flasher to lure at home well before i go anywhere. This way i can do it till its perfect and not have to worry about poor quality knots due to the above mentioned by skipper. [ Post made via iPhone ]

No problem, good luck [ Post made via iPhone ]

Hi pvs. we had some sort of flasher or spin doctor on every setup because that is what has been working for us. When running a dipsey we go dipsey 24 in leader to flasher, then 6-8 ft from flasher to lure or meat. If using a fly the leader is shortened to 24 in as well. On the downriggers we run our lines between 15-20 ft away from the downrigger clip and run our meat or spoon 6-8 ft from the flasher. We always keep One meat setup way down deep in cold water if fishing 100 ft deep meat is at 80-90 feet. I hope this helps tightlines [ Post made via iPhone ]

Lost a brand new sd and new atomik fly that i bought yesterday with 300ft of braid because of a big fish backlash around the reel guide.was sayin how lucky we were not to lose anything this year After reading this post. [ Post made via iPhone ]

I always change the hooks. Also when i set the rig i always hook one point in the flesh side as close to the bottom as i can, once hooked i tighten the line until the meat gets a little bow in it and the i send er down. Hope this helps good luck [ Post made via iPhone ]

Would you ship to north side Of lake o? [ Post made via iPhone ]

Ive been using meat since i started and i agree that i would never leave home without it. Although it usually brings numbers it has accounted for the two biggest fish i have seen salmon fishing neither of which made it to the net,arrrrggghhh. Good luck [ Post made via iPhone ]

I do agree with you missdeamnor , but i believe that even the best are still learning or they wouldnt be the best. I can only hope i am too when i reach that level( or if ) thanx and tightlines [ Post made via iPhone ]
