That was the plan . I was supposed be retired by now but my services are in demand . I met with a plastic guy that went nowhere . And see some guys who are small lure manufacturers put an awfully lot of work into it. And there will be labor intensive . And I see Bayrat go out of buisness so I'm apprehensive . And I don't have the time right now . But I still use them and they work . -
Since the temp came up high in my area , most of the kings I catch are out of ice water . Temp has been at 40 ft or so . I run lures at and above and they get hit but most are 20 ft below the temp break in 45 deg water. That includes 3 brown . And I am marking them down there and deeper also . I have been saying for years , temp is overated .

You guys a WAY overthinking this . You speed probe gives you your speed at the ball . Go with it .

With the deep temp Coyote K and my boat did the double team out deep . We put down in 300 and headed north . Immediately marked bait and fish , an OK screen . . I had a rod fire quick and lost a nice salmon at the back of the boat so we stayed in n the area . Best was 275 to 350 , 85 to 100 down . I went 2 for 7 , both matures . Coyote K for got a few more I think . All our hits were on Flashers . That's all I ran. South wind is pushing warm water out . Temp is coming up .

Thanks R . It's not for me but for a friend . He is staring a fishing club for his church with his foundation. He is a famous athlete . The boat was donated to him . We fixed it up.

What are you guys talking about ? Color definitely maters . My favorites are my favorites because the fish hit them and they are proven . Not because I like how they look . I make a point to run different color spoons of the same model . And they still hit my favorites . Some days it doesn't matter , they hit anything that moves . Most days they are pickey . And that goes for my soft plastics for Bass and panfish.

Lake was nice so I went out. Started in 90 ft . Temp was at 50 . My screen was looking crazy like there was a lot of interference . No boats around. Headed north out to 280 . Screen cleared up around 220 . I don't know what it was . And temp went deeper to 75 80 . I went 3 for 5 . Got and 11 # 5 oz steelhead a Skipper and a little bigger than a skipper . Lost a nice fish on a slide diver . All spoons . Found a pod of fish and bait around 240 where I got 4 hits .

I had an X4 for a few years and liked it . Although it started to send crazy temps once in a while . Then I sold the boat with it . But I liked it .it had both surface and down speed and temp . Bought a new to me boat and it came with a Cannon Speed and Temp . Depth Raider technology . I liked it but it started to not work intermittent. After some research, I bought a Depth Raider this June . It has worked flawless since I got it . Other than the fact at 85 ft of cable some of the insulation came off the cable maybe rubbing in itself. A few coats of Liquid electrical tape and it is fine. 549$ compared to 1400$ . And the probe is a lot less than the X4D probe . If money no object , maybe the X4D . But my depth Raider tells me everything I need to know . Down speed and temp . I don't need blue tooth or how deep my ball is actually running . That's kind of irrelevant to me .

When I'm fishing Stagers , I run 2 j plugs . If a rod fires I know it's a king , I grab the other one , pop it , and reel it in as fast as I can while I put the boat in nutural or turn it down wind and put it in nutural. I can boat the fish in 5 min that way . Sometimes I chase them down . I have gotten a few doubles as both rods went off within seconds of each other . Not real fun . 1 at a time please . I go out at first light . My personal best is 8 kings boated by 830 or so . Landed 6 or 7 many times . And got skunked more than once.
