  1. Haven’t tried yet but have heard spoons run behind dipseys is a productive option
  2. I agree. I was hoping to try Shackleton and cast around unless they are deep
  3. Is anyone having luck jigging out there with blades or jigs still or are harnesses doing best? Taking my dad out Saturday and he hasn’t caught a walleye in 30 years. Trying to get him back into fishing as a retirement hobby
  4. Yep, I always use a Palomar knot for my fluoro leaders no matter how heavy the #test. For mono I Usually use an improved clinch knot with a double loop at the eye with 5 twists for light line under 15# and 4 twists for anything heavier. I don’t remember the last time I had a break off at the knot.
  5. Sorry to hear, I thought that stuff just happened to me. Just yesterday my kicker mount was stuck so had to troll with my main motor. Plugs fouled as usual and had to ride 6 miles in at 6 mph.always something
  6. Still out here, same with very few marks but no takers
  7. Can’t believe it but after all this time finally have a day off tomorrow to fish FH for the first time this year. Probably going to run a combination of the hot baits of last summer and try out a deep meat rig
  8. Looks closer than SR. I’d guess mexico
  9. I use #10 spro swivels to connect my 8’ leader (just short of rod length) to the mainline then a 45# rated duolock snap at the spoon end. So far so good. I use heavier hardware for ff and dipsey set ups
  10. I saw the same yesterday. Lots of fish marked in the 100-115 range. No takes during a short trip but turned out 3 lines were wadded together after the wind spun us around shortly after I had set the lines 😳
  11. Wow we’ll done, beautiful fish! Thanks for reporting
  12. Great, that was the plan to trail the flashers beneath them
  13. Just curious how far back you are running the spoons off the riggers for trout? I am heading up to camp on Stony PT tomorrow and plan on an afternoon troll after i look at the wind report
  14. I have seen the same thing around stony point with large smallmouths cruising in groups like that with no interest in lures but took live crayfish readily
  15. I had the same thing happen to me last year and got the OR16 clips with my next set
  16. Those Henderson eyes are pigs. I have been lucky enough to get a couple of them trolling in my kayak in past years in June. Nice job, one of those fish is worth the whole trip imo
  17. Wind coming from the West as opposed to location on the lake

    I’ve been out 3 times without a walleye. The bass were cooperating until the last trip and only the carp were willing to play.
  19. Great thanks I’ll check it out today
  20. I removed the steel plates covering the old mounting areas of where a t top used to be mounted on my boat and found a hole below one of them. The base of the new t top will set right over where this hole is so I need to repair it first. Can I use Bondo glass filler for this or is there a better method to use? The hole is about 1/2” deep and 3” wide. The material below the hole feels pretty solid.
  21. The streams are fishing well today for the opener. IMG_1539.MOV
  22. Looks like it’s going to be stream trout for me
  23. And stay away from break walls, you can get blown right into them and it is tough to paddle away from them
