  1. Manny have you ever trolled an inline spinner this time of year?
  2. Curious if anyone went out today or plans to this week and to hear what peoples opinions about it are.
  3. Was in and out twice today. Heading out into the lake you have less than 2 feet coming into the last set of markers, the white ones. And that’s only on a flat lake. In the bay itself it’s not that much deeper. I go in and out slow and trimmed up. I dinged an expensive prop and know of a few guys here that have faired worse.
  4. All’s fine till you get 3.8 down.
  5. Looks a little bumpy tomorrow
  6. Screen offshore was spotty. Best in 450 to 500. Had a 9 ish bow and a skip early and the nothing. 8 hours of trolling. Pulled in 120 and took a look to 80.
  7. Nope. Went off shore and struggled. Checked out the inside though after we pulled and the screen was insane.
  8. 80 to 120. Don’t pay attention to temp. Target rich environment.
  9. Hoping for a good day. Pretty sure the blow pushed in warm water, not cold. Good luck to all going out.
  10. Have you tried with someone (weight) on the bow?
  11. Welcome aboard Jack
  12. Spin Dr’s are easy to run. If you are running two downriggers and two dypsy’s I would run a Spin Dr on my deep rigger and a spoon on the other rigger a little higher up. I would do the same on your dypsy rods.
  13. Over bait with the assistance of a cellular trailcam. Number4 buckshot?
  14. That’s some spooky stuff. Great pics!
  15. Less than 2 feet just south of the northernmost white channel markers. worse than that is guys are hitting something solid on the run from both Westpoint Marina and Gibbs on the west side of the bay including myself. I don’t go above 5 mph until I’m outside the mouth and before I go on plane I hit reverse and give it a shot to get rid of all the weeds. Bay is a minefield right now but based on water level it’s to be expected. Really cool you guys got that fish, big guys have been few and far between. Skippers however are way too plentiful lol. That east wind yesterday afternoon coupled with the heavy south wind this morning kind of blew the warm water out. 56 degrees down 42 over 60 early this afternoon. Hoping the morning is fishable before Wednesday’s blow. IMO it makes the inside even more appealing. Again, congratulations on a great fish.
  16. Braddocks couple weeks ago in 70 degree water in tight. Was supposed to be a Brown.
  17. Kings are mixed in with the Browns now. you’d be surprised how many big Kings are caught out of temp this time of year.
  18. Look for where 60 degree water meets the bottom. Fish one rod five feet ish above that and another up another ten. If in 50 feet of depth or more run 20 foot leads. In my opinion mag spoons work best this time of year and you won’t catch as many skipper kings. 1.8 to 2.5 MPH. Take your time and cover some water. Don’t be afraid to go a little deeper or a little shallower. Good luck!
  19. RiggedSFC. On this site, shoot Nick a pm.
