  1. Also, if you have a wide angle transducer cone , the bigger and more distinct the hooks will be as the fish will be in the cone longer and distance to fish on the outside compared to center is farther . A narrow cone the fish will be in the cone for shorter time , so a " flatter " Mark . And they are more accurate IMO. The above pic looks like a fish that came up and took a look or bumped your lure IF , IF ,you lure was at the outside edge of the cone . Otherwise , it was a fish you went over .
  2. If you know how a depth finder works , you would understand more of what you see . Those marks you see may be fish on the outside edge of your transducer cone . When I see hooks , those to me are inactive fish staying in your cone as you drive over them. My favorite thing is to see what I call slashes as these are fish swimming around , looking for bait. They are in and out of the cone fast . The distance to the outside edge of the cone is farther than the distance directly below to a fish at the same depth . Thus the hook . If that makes any sense . It really should not matter if your transducer is tilted a little .
  3. If there is 30 to 40 ft between the lure and diver, does color really matter ? I own 2 slide divers , 1 I got at the show last year with the mag ring . Pulls like heck gets down to 100 ft with 65 # power pro . Black . Another I won many years ago that was one of the originals according to the guy at the show . I like it best. Gets down I figure 80 ft . It's lavender. I tried it close for staggers this year . Put it back 40 ft . Max side setting and put it so it was maybe 6 to 8 ft under water with like 8 to 12 ft of line rod tip to diver . It worked . I would think the smaller size would be excellent for spring fishing used that way with longer leads . Still would rather use my riggers .
  4. If the water is 20" higher this year , or even 10" , it will be catastrophic . Many dwellings will be severely impacted or lost . All this rain is certainly not helping .
  5. That is the problem when you have a one man show . D took Lamars legs out of the game and look what happened . Been telling my boys for a while now , for as good as he has looked , he will be a flash in the pan .
  6. I hear high water pants are coming back into style .
  7. To each his own I guess, Never really saw the need as an Albright knot is very strong and can't remember it ever breaking. I use it for all my fishing tying 2 lines together . 0 problems . I trust my knots . The less to fail the better IMO . I figure if it ain't broke ,don't fix it . I see no advantage. I use to use micro swivel for fly tippet and float fishing but one day I ran out And was forced to use an Albright , and never went back . Line twist is never a problem for me .Flashers come with BB swivel and I have one on the rod so that's double protection. For my riggers I run the 30 # main and a 25 ft tippet of 17 or 20# which is my usual lead from release .
  8. They make big Flatfish with small groves on the sides ( Alaskan guides were using triangle files first) so you can wrap a piece of cut bait with thread on for kings . Always wanted to try it but never did
  9. Albright 100% mono to mono . Why would you use a swivel ?
  10. Temp is overrated IMO. I start my probe rigger , usually a flasher , at 48 to 50 deg to start . Then fish my other rigs above and below that . And , I fish the marks. Did great doing that for many years before a fish hawk
  11. I have 2 . They are adequate IMO . But I sure do like my 47 H s for riggers . If it were me and I was going to add a diver it would be a slide diver . For flashers , a reg dipsy is good but for spoons , I do better with a length between the diver and spoon . Wire to 30 to 40 ft of 30# mono , bead , small swivel , 6 ft 15# to 20# Flouro or mono , ball bearing snap , lure .diver goes on 30# section . I substitute braid , but I do well with this setup , especially on slow days .
  12. The water was high and cold. If you fall in over your head , the cold will shock you pretty good . If there is current and you don't know what to do and panic , I could see it happening . I parked at Mr Salmons and walked down the Cliff to the Archers hole . I tripped on a branch and fell in over my head . I can still remember the shock of how cold the water was. It was 20 deg that day . I left immediately and by the time I climbed out and got back to the truck, my clothes were frozen . With the we amount of traffic on the streams in the winter , I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often .
  13. Sorry but I don't think that's true . Sometimes the best fishing is March to early May .
  14. Is the LO lake level dropping ?
  15. Not a good weekend for 40 year old QBs .
  16. I'm quite sure that any increase in shipping costs are passed on to the customer in some way . Additional fuel costs are a part of the cost of doing business. Just like prices going up in any business . I don't see them going broke anytime soon .
  17. My prediction Brady stays Josh McDaniel stays as head,coach Belicheck goes to Giants or .......... My thought ....... DALLAS
  18. My expectations were to win 10 to 11,games and make the playoffs . Maybe Win a game . And win the East , which was closer, than most think. QB growing pains and no real good wide receivers . Can't expect to win every game scoring less than 21 pts . Was not the D s fault .
  19. Don't start And didn't the league just confirm the cheating ? ............AGAIN.
  20. I originally posted this thread to explore if all the water made for more nutrients in the water as I saw more green water this year since the mid 80s. I'm not a hydrologist, and everyone's data may or may not be true . I just want to know if everything that can be done is being done to lower the lake level . And my gut tells me it's not .
  21. Will this be Brady's last game ? Good match up for Bills .
