That kinda sucks, I always liked NKs. I was ordering them online directly from NK for the past couple of years but they were always out of stock on most stuff. I had a feeling things might not be going well for them. So this guy in Avon is there every week? There are a few Nk colors I would love to stock up on if they have become unavailable.

Thanks

Is there still pen rearing going on in the Genny?

What happened to NK? I just checked their website to try and find the names of those two spoons we were using and their selection is about 10% of what it used to be.

Kind of a late report but may be worth something to someone. We fished Saturday morning in the 150 to 250 range off I-Bay and did not move a rod. Tried some different stuff throughout the morning, a lot of green/black and green/orange spoons but nothing turned the trick. Came in to 120-140 at the end of the morning and did 6 lakers on cowbells and F/Fs in about an hour or two and headed in. Sunday we started around 100 and fished a rigger 80-90 down, a rigger 50 down and two divers probably somewhere in between. Sea sick waddler, dirty white boy, and two UV NKs. I don't know the names of the NKs but one was a white with black mag and the other was a green and yellow 28 with a white back. We parked the rigger with the green and yellow NK at 49 deg all day and it was the workhorse. It started with a 4-5 lb brown, then a 13 lb king, then 2 skippy kings and a skippy steelie and finished with a mature king that we lost after it put on quite a show behind the boat. The white and black NK took a 10lb laker on the other rigger at the end around 110 down. All of the fish except the laker and brown came in 220 fow 88 feet down. I'm not sure if it was the spoon or the temp on the 88 feet down but that was the hot set up.

Nice day of fishing!

Very similar around I-Bay. 100fow and 80 or so down is the first place I usually start for browns this time of year. Same as above. spoons. I am particular to the NKs but I am sure they would all work. I haven't really fished the browns all year and yesterday we roughly went by this and we hit a couple right off. Good luck!

I am looking for indoor winter storage for my 24' Thompson hardtop. Preferably something towards the Wayne county area but not required. I would also like something that allows me to get the boat back out of storage by late March if needed. Thanks

Nice fishing!

Set them down at 5:30am in 140 fow and worked out to 260 fow. Pretty much kept the riggers between 75 and 115 all day except on the way in we went deeper looking for laker action. Also ran 2 divers and eventually 300' of copper. Did not move a rod until about 8:00 when the rigger at 100' over 220 fow with a 42nd spoon took a 10 lb king. It was actually a doped up NK green thunder that looks a lot like a 42nd spoon. It took another hour or so and we picked up a 6 to 7 lb laker on the same set up just a little shallower. Did not do another fish until we started pulling the lines at 11:30 or so and found a 7-8 lb laker had been hitching a ride for awhile on a spiny and an ITO mag fly. No idea how long he had been there. Also ran DWB, mag money, watermelon, green evil eye mag and mag carbon 14 but none produced. 3 for 3 on the day with a 42nd look alike doing 2 of them, all on riggers. Back at it tomorrow.

Started dropping lines around 6pm in 190 fow. White paddle green fly on rigger 90 down, DWB on rigger 115 down with an NK UV mag slider, orange, green and silver Silver Horde on diver 160' back, and a DW blue dolphin on a diver 190 back. Worked out to 280 fow and back in again. Temps were all over the place. Had to get out to 215 to get anything under 56 deg. at our depths. We only managed one skippy on the DWB and one miss on the silver horde. Around 215 to 230 fow though we had a lot of big marks following the paddle/fly set up but no takers. Not a bad night for a boat ride I guess, better than cleaning the gutters.

Was your boat at a marina in the water or at your home? I only ask because I got hit a couple of years ago while my boat was in the water. I was one of dozens from different marinas to get stuff stolen. If someone is hitting up the marinas again I'd like to know. Thanks.

We are looking to enter again this year. Whom should I send a check to and is the entry fee $150.00 again? Thanks. We are looking forward to it. Jack Team Rabid Weasel
