It will just depend on the lake forecast

Torpedo divers and chinook/dipsy divers

I also have some versatrack cannon rod holders if you are interested

I have two brand new one. I was going to buy a tracker so I bought them, but ended up buying an alumacraft. I’ll sell them to you for 80 a piece

Got out with ShawnJ yesterday evening to help him dial in his new StarCraft Fishmaster 196 👌🏼. Very nice boat. Got lines in about 5:15 and had a steady pick until we pulled the last rod around 8:30. Finished 6/10 with 4 kings, an Atlantic, and a laker. Fished 80 to 180. Riggers parked from 40 to 60 both with sliders. Divers at 30 and 50 both with flasher flies, and torpedo divers on the boards down 20 and 30. All methods took fish last night. Nice teenage king smashed the ff on the diver. Always fun watching those diver hits! Good luck out in the water this weekend

King

Wasn’t the Hudson, but went out of Newport, RI this past weekend and we landed a couple beauties!

Thanks Bill! What a crazy hunt Tommy had today too!!!

I don’t know what I’m thinking lol. I’m sorry, you are completely right. I wasn’t even associating it was May because I’m usually chasing walleye as soon as it open, but I haven’t because I’ve been chasing turkeys this year. Good luck out there

Was a good morning to be in the woods!

Not trying to give you a hard time, but it’s illegal to target pike right now. If you are going to do it, I wouldn’t post that you are doing it. Good luck out there

Ttt

Love it

Grass carp put up a heck of a fight don’t they!? I have caught a few out of the pond on the corner of Flynn and Latta. Bread balls a foot underneath a tiny float

I was thinking of the pond at greece canal park off of elmgrove. He is referring to the ponds off of long pond. I have got some nice bass and panfish in those ponds. Haven’t fished there in years. I would try chartreuse and white spinnerbaits or chatterbaits for the pike

Caught some monster minnows in that pond with my kids a couple years ago lol. All I saw was small pan fish and minnows. You could be talking about a complete different pond though that I haven’t seen over there

4 cannon rod holders, and 3 versatrack mounting brackets. You will need to buy a 4th mounting bracket for the 4th rod holder. $150 plus shipping

Sorry if it sounded like I was upset, as I am not. No problem at all. When they hit when trolling that shallow, the hooks typically set themselves when the fish hits. I run my stick baits on in-line boards, so you have to fight the board and fish until you get the board in and unclip it. When a fish hits those, they hook themselves. For divers in shallow I run size 2 chinook divers set on the 4 setting. 30lb braid with an 8 to 10 foot piece of 15lb mono attached to the braid with and fg knot. That goes the the diver via a swivel. Then off the diver I run a 6 to 10 foot 12 to 15lb pound flouro leader to the spoon. It dives at a 2 to 1 ratio. So if you are fishing 10fow let out 10 feet on the reel, if you are fishing 6 feet or water let out 6 feet on the reel, and so on. The fish is already hooked when they hit these also. Just pick up and start fighting the fish. For riggers, if it pops just pick the rod pointed up and reel down down fast until you get tight to the fish. This time of year we typically will troll at 2.1 to 2.5 at the ball. Hope that helps you guys out, and hope you have a great trip. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out

10 for 15 is a pretty good percentage lol, but the ones we lost were due to the following: had two coho jump out of the water during the fight and throw the hook, two on the divers shook the hook as we were fighting them, and we lost one on a stickbait mid fight, hook just pulled. Those thunderstick jr’s have small hooks, so it happens sometimes. It’s all part or the game
