Bill, 

After fishing with Rob your never gonna want to fish with me again. I can’t produce fish #’s like that. 

Took the fire boat for a ride from the marina to the lake today. Bay was 2-3’ deep and channel was as low as 1.7’ in certain spots. Just a FYI. 

Thanks 

Capt. Rick,

Do you get your McCoy line from McCoy directly or buy from a certain retailer?
Thanks! 

I will be driving the FD rescue boat out of Braddocks so I am hoping to have some interesting stories after Monday 

Look at videos from Fish Hawk, Torpdeo Divers, and Russell’s fishing tech on Facebook  and You Tube. Many great guys on those podcasts and videos sharing wealth of knowledge. 

We had a meeting at the fire department last Wednesday and they said the water level was super low in the bay and lake.

I put Scotty’s on my new boat in 2020 so not a lot of years on them but so far I love them. No issues so far. I am sure you will find guys that love their cannons. Good luck!

Matt French on Misdemeanor. 

X2 Matt is a great guy and great fisherman 

I run my Scotty’s off tracks that came on the boat from the  factory (fishmaster 196). I through bolted with stainless bolts/locking nuts and put 4” x 4” plates underneath every spot where there was screw holes in the tracks. Even did it for the tracks near the helm that I run my trees off of. Maybe overkill but wasn’t hard to do. 
 

Good luck. I am sure you will continue to succeed!

It never entered the boat

Lakers are allowed in my boat. Laker lives matter! 

Bill left out the best part. He got to reel in a 300 copper with a laker. I couldn’t get a pic fast enough. 

Nice job Bill

I have to agree 100%. I was fishing I Bay for browns yesterday and the temp was 71 at 48 feet and 60 at 51 feet. That’s a huge break in just 3 feet. I had to adjust my speed in each direction to keep the lures in the temp and down speed I wanted. I didn’t mark and lot of fish so I couldn’t fish just the marks. I feel my probe gave me the info I needed to land 13 browns and 1 skippy king yesterday. 

Got mine from fine tune welding on Facebook. Amazing products with great prices. Check him out! 

Bite has slowed down for me the past few days. Fished Braddocks, Sandy and I bay the past 3 days with less fish than last weekend and Monday. 

I tired hedges (Webster) this week and no luck. Went to I bay for largemouth.

We were out of I-Bay yesterday with Tony and you. A good day on the browns. Just wish they were a little bigger. Surprisingly no lampreys and no lampreys marks on any of the browns seen this month

Yes I have only had to kill one lamprey this July 

Lines in at 6am, out 11:30. Looking for browns. Fished Braddocks to green can and back. 70-80 fow. 7-8 with nothing big. Carbon 14 was best spoon. Did put a 11lb, 10oz brown on the board yesterday after a really good day out of I Bay but doubt it will stay the week. 

 
Good Luck! 

Nice job Bill. Your boat is on the board twice but don’t think my fish will last on there too much longer. 

Took some family out to try and find them some browns. Started off with a laker before I had 3 rods set. Fished inside till 8:30 and had 3 browns and 1 laker in 70-80 fow. I was told let’s find some kings, so I changed my program and added some flasher/flys with spoons and added a 300 steel. Caught 3 kings and lost a king in 150 fow. Biggest was 21lbs on mag spoon, silver and purple on 300 steel. Would have bet it was a bow after it jumped 5 feet out of the water way behind the boat. My cousins arms were sore after reeling that fish In on 300 steel. No hits on dispeys, and all spoon bites. Carbon 14 and UV carbon 14 spoons took the majority of the fish. 50 degrees was down 80 over 150. 

Get ahold of Whaler. He has an awesome chair on his center console that I have a hard time staying awake once sitting on it. 

Nice, have I been replaced? Lol
