    I've been waiting for your riggers to go up for sale like I normally see every year. I'm thinking maybe they went with the old boat and it's not happening this year?

    Wow...climate change is decreasing King size over there? It seems to be doing the opposite for the Ales and Kings over here on LM

    There was one on ebay for 60 bucks about a week ago and someone actually bought it 😳

    I made some Shad strips to try out this year. I'm betting they will work

    Haywire twist is for copper, not stranded steel wire.

    I'm not sure where you are using crimps on a wire dipsey setup. I just thread the swivel on the wire and tie an overhand loop knot with the swivel in the loop. Also put a bead before the knot.

    If the economy tanks worldwide there will be much more suffering than from any corona virus. Nobody even remembers that almost 14000 Americans died from H1N1 in 2009...it's like it didn't happen when you ask most people if they remember. How can we have such mass hysteria this time around?? The media. Why is everybody hoarding unnecessarily?? The media. If people are freaking now, wait til they find out their job isn't there anymore after their caronavirus holiday is over.

    1/4" tubing is as easy as it gets to not have leaks. The real solution to not having leaks most people neglect is to strap the tubing to the wall and the back of the fridge with a 1/4" one or two hole tubing strap so when you slide the fridge in and out you don't twist, cock, or loosen your connections. Also leave an extra coil or 2 of tubing to act like a spring when you slide the fridge in and out.

    Brad's cut bait is one of my favorite baits here on Lake Michigan, and can't see why they wouldn't work on LO. I run mine mostly with a 42" leader behind an 8" Jensen dodger or a Big Al's type rotator. I've fished with guys that do well with the Alderton's rotating dodgers too. They can be run clean as well, but I've had more success behind a dodger. My best colors are Mountain Doo, Seahawk, and Lucky charm. Had some success with Twisted Sister last year. I use garlic tuna in mine, pack them full so the tuna is bulging out, and change the tuna after every fish or if it's been soaking for 1/2 hour or more. I didn't do well with the Brad's til I switched from plain tuna to the garlic stuff. A lot of guys here make their own garlic tuna but Starkist Select roasted garlic is the stuff you want. If you like tuna you're gonna want to eat the stuff yourself...it smells so good! I've had days where I was missing most of my fish until I broke out the Brad's with garlic tuna. The tuna seems to make them commit better on those days. If you give it a fair shot in your spread you will likely not regret it.

    I used Ugly Stik 6'-6" medium Tiger rods for my inside mag braid dipsey rods until I set up my 7' Talora wire roller rods. They worked great and were a blast to fight fish on. I've since converted them to 300 and 250 copper rods and love them for that purpose as well.

    Maybe the unusual Goby that is swimming away from the rest of the Gobies is easier picking and the one the fish grabs first (and last)? Fish don't stop and think "wait...this easy meal is not supposed to be here...better look for something else"

    Isn't that after Bombardier bought OMC and fixed the issue with the FICHT motors?
