hermit i just cut the hook off and put a new tube on then tie the hook back on....kinda a pain...but that mean your catching allot man overboard it looks like your tied to the wrong spot...that might be the problem....tie off on the opposite side as the hooks the top jig in your picture is dynamite usually 1 hook in bottom jaw and the other hook usually floats around and gets them somewhere and they don't usually get off when useing plastic swimbait jigs and they are short strikeing i switch to these

We mostly fish from 4 or 5 till dark...my wife will not get up early at night the boat traffic is so bad you can't stay on fish... I spend more time looking for drunks than the F/F mostly I run through an area mark fish and then drift back over them....i also can cover more ground by casting a 100" or so and free spooling to bottom...then I jig my way back to the boat....when I get to the boat I give it 3 or 4 good bounces and reel it in it's working pretty good....

I don't use my F/F like most due...so it has not been a problem the tubes have been working good, and there're cheap so I rig them up on my daughters poles I don't mind when they lose a few sounds like you have a pretty good system

guff, i have been useing the same setup ... i use a 1oz egg sinker in the tube 1 thing i do...is put a small bead between the sinker and treble, this will keep the sinker from breaking the knot

I'm going to enter this one, it's a good cause just 1 question...if a miracle happens and I do catch a fish on saturday is their a saturday weigh in? I printed the flyer and can't find anything on there thanks

that will be a good thing....it's nice to have some minnows when the kids want to jig for perch any idea where they're setting it up

great report, hopeing to get back out tomorrow night

Zach, thats a great report, looks like the new FF is working good, I need to update mine congrats on some nice fish

thanks guys hey buddy how you been, hows things up on your hill, fishing has been great love your perch spot we had a 100 fish day there a couple weeks ago they all went back kids and wife had a great time definately need to catch up

thanks guys....I am blessed..my wife loves to fish, and hunt... she will not get up for the early fishing but wants to go every night I'm super thankfull I found this sight a great bunch of guys and super helpfull Alec, you put me right on fish, and after reading your website I switched from bucktails to vertical jigs and it paid of big time

my wife loves to perch fish however I finally got her to try some jigging for lakers, after a half hour of laughing at my jigs she decieded to try one... yes hers is bigger after a long day of work it sure was a fun way to relax

Capt. Bill that is a great report, and congrats on a great day on the water

some great info on this thread new@this bass pro is only 45mins away, and I picked up a couple nice jigs the other night, we'll see if the fish like them

that's what i wanted to hear....if the kids don't keep me at the carnival to late I will be at the launch at daybreak

Johnny, that sucks to hear, as that was one of the places I wanted to try this summer it don't make any sense considering the amount of fish that get stocked in the system they put more fish there than they do in ottisco Cross Lake (Lysander) 7,750 Tiger muskellunge 9.5 Seneca River (Van Buren) 11,100 Tiger muskellunge 8.5

great report congrats to everyone who entered, sounds like a first class event,
