Thank Brian! Those colors I got from you are still producing!

Well another year in the books. Congrats to the winners and to all of those who battled the weather this past weekend. Good to see the fellow fisherman and friends and family during it. All in all it was a struggle to keep a focus on what was catching fish as it wouldn’t last long. Flexibility was our theme bouncing from different techniques as the wind and weather would allow. The boys wanted to at least try and pull the pflugars /copper just like there uncle who recently passed would fish. We hit a period of time Sunday pm in the brutal west wind where we couldn’t keep the fish off. We lost a stud. Told the boys keep em down, now is the time. Brody hits his 8.5 lber with us having to make that dreaded decision, go now to weigh in or stay. We decided to go in. Once we got back for the last hr the bite died. Oh well. We did 35+ for the weekend. No real pattern. Scattered was an understatement. Fish were to my surprise marked up quite a bit from lamprey with us catching a few for fish food. Seemed more than last year but could be wrong. I hope the derby stays around with having some new direction. It needs it. Changes are needed to get the interest back. Thanks again Steve (Roy’s Boys) Larry and Roz @ Roy’s Marina for the hospitality and support. Congrats Steve on that stud Brown. I was rooting for ya. Some pics of me attempting to be as good as my late brother was in pulling copper and Brodys 1st in teen division.

Thanks Bill. I think this years derby will be the hardest for me mentally as we recently had a family shocker. Seeing our friends and family on the lake will probably be my trophy. Anything else will be a bonus.

Thanks for the reminder and the course info. Easy peasy! Took the time today to knock it out.

Nice going Bill!

All good bud, just didn’t want miss next weekend.

Harvey, FYI that tourney is next Sat Aug 3rd

Thanks Rich for taking the time to do these.

Duke good meeting you today! Whaler, as always, good talking with you today bud, thanks for the info. Biggest for us today was 22lbs. I will tell you it’s my first time over here this year on the dark side. What a change from where we’ve been that past couple of weeks.

Yep, when lithiums go they go from 13v to zero just like that. Also when measuring the voltage, you can’t use the voltmeter on the dash, you have to use a %meter that tells you how much is left. In case you don’t have one.

For the crazy currents I’ve seen while using a 4xd, I’d suggest saving your money as well. Angles of cable based on ball weight are good to look at it as suggested, some use a thumper rod to know how fast when in 100ft or so. You can also put a flasher (blades) down to get an idea how hard there spinning. Once you get a sense of surface speed or start catching fish hone in on that speed. Dipsey as someone said with the bend of the rod is a good as well

Good luck Les! Anyone out there that was lucky enough to get #1 ticket entry should earn the grand prize!!!🏆

Just to add, fish seem to be everywhere both deep and shallow and in all over the water column. Seems to be warming up quickly as I saw 52 on top last week where Sunday I saw 57.

Nice going John! Great report!

I’m in for 28 (Gambler)

Very Nice Bill!
