Something wrong with your setup. 
If you are running mono as your mainline, that’s your first problem. 

Temp was fine from 80 to 250 but screen was pretty barren. Decent screen for us in 100 to 130. 

Scott and Matt drove out from Ohio this morning to fish a couple days. Scott reached out on LOU a few times with questions so we figured they might as well just come out and fish. 
It wasn’t fast and furious and water was mixed up but we settled into 100 ish after not seeing much out to 250. Thankful to put them on decent Kings and an 11.5 Brown that got them on the board. Back out with them in the morning. Fun day for all. 

And a very common one. My last one went a couple months out of warranty so the replacement was $200. 

That’s what I’m doing. They are violently fast, wish you could slow them down a little. 

That’s a great trip, awesome. 

Is that reel left or right hand retrieve?  

Fish was only 33 inches long. Wish I measured it’s girth.

Whaler1:  What depth were you in for those browns?  75-100 ft??

75 to 80

We fished fro 6:30 to 11:00 between Lighthouse and Wautoma. 14 for 18 with 11 Browns. Couldn’t find any bigger than 8 lbs. 

You know you’ve had an open invitation for quite a while now Les

Met Bob (Sea Lion) at 5:30, lines in at 6:00. Looking for Browns in 70 feet of water. 60 degree water was 60 down. 
Riggers at 50 and 60, divers out 110 and 120. Had to check rods about every 20 minutes to clear shaker kings, at least 6 or 7. Took three mid to high teens kings on the 50 rigger on a gold mag NK with a red head. Temp at 50 had to be mid 60’s. Did two Browns as well, one shaker and one around 4 lbs. 

Got hot around 1030, pulled rods and were back at the dock by 11. 

Yep. Release above the probe. 

100 feet of water. 2.5-2.8 

If you have down temp park a spoon at 50 degrees, one ten feet deeper and a coupe above.  Watch for where marks and follow them as well. 
Happy to answer any questions you have, PM me. 

Took them out last year and we crushed it. Not sure that makes it better lol. 

Appreciate the help but I couldn’t catch my ass with 3 hands today. 3 for 6 and nothing over 8 lbs. Wouldn’t bother me but I had a guy and his two teenage sons with him. Sucks

Highlight of the trip was towing in a pontoon boat that had broke down. Amazed at the folks that drove right by him. Good karma and I will always stop to help a fellow boater. I’ve been on the receiving end myself. 

Great product, great seller. Buy with confidence. 

Great stuff Rob!

Mostly on riggers but dipsy’s took shots as well. 

Yep all on mags

Me and Dickey had lines in at 6 and out at 11. Finished 7 for 8 with 5 Browns, biggest was 10lbs 10 ounces. 
70-80 feet of water with Carbon 14’s doing the work. 

Any idea on weight?

Great job Rob!!

Scott put them on Ebay .
