  1. I'm looking to add a bow unit for jigging. I already have the sonar/gps combo at the helm, and I would just like to add an affordable quality sonar in the bow so I can stay on fish while jigging. Does anyone have any experience with this unit? I found a new one on Ebay for $150, and it seems like a good deal. Any other suggestions on units would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Alex

  2. Just received my dairy for region 8 this will be my second year contributing. I can't wait to be back out there, this winter can't go fast enough. I ended the season in November by breaking off what I'm sure would have been my largest trout to date, it doubled a 7' MH jigging rod and bit through a 30lb flouro leader. You can only imagine my heartache and anticipation, next season that fish won't be so lucky.

    I'm sure most of you guys contribute to the program, I just wanted to try and breath some life into the forum during this downtime!

  3. I was kinda puzzled at first when I saw the dude winding the reel backwards/upside down.....of course I'm right handed :>) Good going on the fishing and on the report. Sure makes me wish I hadn't put my boat away :>)

    You can say that again

  4. Well with my fishing season officially ended by breaking off what was surely the biggest trout I will ever encounter... its now time to start planning ahead and getting ready for next season. Currently I have a fairly basic setup 2 riggers and 2 leadcores. I would like to add 1 dipsy and 1 copper rig, but I would also like some suggestions on what better options maybe? One thing to keep in mind is that space is limited in the boat, and I'm not looking to spend a ton of money. Any lures or other gear suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also feel free to post what you wish list is!

  5. Can anyone identify the 4 spoons on the right. Also the 3 copper finish spoons with the tape on the bottom left, they are called moosalamoo shoe-horns. I don't know anything about them other than that they are almost identical to Suttons in size and weight. Anyone have any experience using them? Thanks in advance!

  6. Fished the lake hard this weekend. Battled high winds cold temps, and some fair sized waves for a smaller lake. That being said we struggled to catch fish. Finally made it out late Friday after waiting for the lake to calm down around 5:30 and fished until 6:30. Caught 3 small lakers in short order, the first fish hit my rigger while the rod was still in my hand. Saturday spent the day with my brother father and cousin. We threw everything we had at them, (jigging and trolling) literally emptied the tackle boxes. No luck at all until just before dark, took a beautiful 18 inch rainbow on a 7 color core and Sutton spoon compliments of Irishbailey. It seems the rainbows are starting to make a come back which is awesome news! Saw lots of bass boats out, I assumed a club tourney. Anyone have any information on the results?

    Unfortunately he had the hook deep so we kept him.
