    wasnt a tiger,we lost him cause he wouldnt fit in the net!!!!!when he flipped out he just layed there for a bit,so i got a good look at him.you can catch lakers fairly easy in the spring,but once the water warms and they start heading deep,its all over.pike are a little easier to target and find then lakers in the summer.

    we lost one a couple years ago on fourth trolling that was well over 4 feet.have caught many over 30,never through the ice though.there are plenty of big lakers in there as well,but they are very hard to catch after spring.

    if i had new 4-strokes i probably wouldnt have a kicker,but dont have 40 grand laying around!!!!!!it was alot cheaper to go the kicker route.the old 2-strokes run great,but dont like to troll.i have alwys been a 2-stroke guy,but manthem 4-strokes are so smooth and quite!!!!!

    we ran some convectors last year and really like them,so this year we switched completely over to convectors,from 20's for browns to 45 and 55's for copper.

    we will have to see what mother nature brings the next couple of weeks.more towards may might be more realistic this year.spring browns are a great way to cut your teeth on trolling lake o.they are fairly easy to find in the spring and you dont need a ton of tackle to get started.once you fish the lake,you wont want to fish the river!!!!!!

    there should be some type of bracket out there to doit.i have seen a few boats out there with twins and a kicker.my beam is only 8'6 and have plenty of room.my buddy custom made the bracket
  23. finsntins

    we went to the meeting and this was our first and being fairly new to fishing the lake we did more listening then asking cause alot of what was being discussed was a bit over my head,but when joann???i think was her name,she has to do with the fish surveys for the eastern basin was done speaking,i thought this would be a good time to ask about "daily log book" that lake fisherman could turn into the dec via the internet that would give them more feed back than just there 6 or 7 survey boats.she didnt want to really answer the question,so the guy who seemed to be running the show,steve something????stood up and was quick to say that they are happy with the boat surveys,the state has spent alot of money to start the program and pretty much has to stick with it.she then added that there would be no added bonus to start a "diary book" and that the info they get from there survey boats supply enough info for what they need.this then got brought up again after the break and steve said that they did a "diary book" back in the 90's and there was no added benefit and agian said there hands are tied,they cant do anything else cause they have invested so much money in the survey program they already have in place.someone brought up about going to fish cleaning stations to get a count of fish and do their scale and snout samples,this also was shot down pretty quick.couple other things that i found interesting was they say that pen reared fish have 2 to 1 survival rate compared to lake stocked fish.they said they have one more year of data to look at and then maybe start to look at doing more pen rearing.also,that 4 out of the last 6 years they have found atlantic salmon are naturally reproducing in the salmon river.if i got anything mixed up and someone was there,please correct me.
