I quit running flea flicker cuz I wasn't a fan. I still have a spool of 30 lb somewhere. I get away with 30 lb big game. Check your lines every half hour or so and you will be fine.

I didn't think so but wasn't sure. Is a lhur Jensen "jet diver" similar to a dive bomb? My local field and stream has a huge clearance section of them I was looking at yesterday
this is a dive bomb. Basically just a lead sinker that has a dive plane.

I went like 6 times before we
Caught our first fish. A 12inch laker. After that we steadily

And lead on a diver rod doesn't work. Michigan stinger makes dive bombs you can add to the core and it achieves a greater depth,

I find the south end better back when I fished it. Small spoons off down riggers (Michigan stinger scorpions) caught the majority of our fish but we did well off lead as well out on an inline planer board. The fish in there are very spooky. 10lb mono attached to 20' or 30' of 6 to 8 floro. In the spring stick baits off flat lines have produced for me as well. We caught our biggest rainbow fishing out of the south end on the west side in 20' of water in may.
Try Canadice as well over summer working 70' to 90' on bottom for lakers.

fixed position right?

I thought I stumbled onto 'Salmon Crazy' for a minute...
Yup just spit gatorade all over my monitor! lmao!

When I was there it looked like it was possible. Not saying a definite.

On Port bay the east side of the channel looks as tho you could possibly get out. West side is all rock. Hopefully they clear it soon.

good lookin fish

Supposedly they used to carry a larger fish average years back then they shrunk as the years went on. I don't know if that is fact or not. I know the size of lake Ontario fish has dropped over the years it seems is what people have told me.

Anglers Avenue is carrying them now on their website.

If JD doesn't take them I will. In all seriousness in my opinion its the hands down best blank on the market. Some good patterns there too.

Colors are for leadcore. Each color out achieves a certain amount of depth. Coppers are typically rigged, with backing, the copper, then the desired amount of leader. Every 100 feet reaches roughly 20' of depth depending on what pound test it is. A larger capacity reel is also needed to get several hundred feet of copper on the spool. It can be used really anytime of the year as long as your not fishing too shallow. Youtube is a great resource to show you how its actually rigged. Also using the search bar on this site will show you other questions that have been asked along with other info

Wish I got my hands on them. Excited to run those ones I bought off you. Looking springy next week.

Oh man. Here we go.

Islander transom I saw wasn't sealed in so just by opening up the motor cover you can reach back and poke the wood with a screw driver for softness.

Batteries are only meant to have a shelf life of 1 year. The date code on them is usually a black sticker with white lettering. The first should be a letter and runs from A to L. January to December. A for January, B for February, etc. The last number is for the year, 4 for 2014, 5 for 2015. Etc. Once a batter hits 1 year from the date on the battery it is too be pulled and returned to the manufacturer. However in many circumstances this does not happen. Batteries are also supposed to be rotated, closest to the front of the shelf, closest to expiration. If its followed the fresher batteries are in the back.

No need for backing. Put a few wraps of electrical tape on the spool so your wire doesn't slip, and reel the wire onto the spool under tension. Okuma 30 series hold 1000 ft of wire perfectly. It can be a good idea once your out on the water to let out several hundred feet of wire on an un tripped dipsy then reel it back in to ensure a tight fill. There are videos on youtube of how to do this as well.
