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

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

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 .

Are those Penn 209 s ?

Sorry but I don't think that's true . Sometimes the best fishing is March to early May .

Is the LO lake level dropping ?

Not a good weekend for 40 year old QBs .

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 .

My prediction Brady stays Josh McDaniel stays as head,coach Belicheck goes to Giants or .......... My thought ....... DALLAS

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 .

Don't start And didn't the league just confirm the cheating ? ............AGAIN.

Don't make excuses .

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 .

Will this be Brady's last game ? Good match up for Bills .

I really think you are missing the point of our concerns .

It's high on the South shore . I was noticing it at my cottage Sun . It's going to be as bad or the worst yet this spring if it rains a lot .

When I add a dipsey , it's braid slide diver .

I have 2 boats 16 ft side console , 2 riggers, 21 ft hardtop . 2 riggers I fish each different. I love my 16 ft . 95 % of the time I use 1 line on each rigger and do well . If on occasion I put out a,dipsey , it changes the whole dynamic of my presentation . I loose my ability to turn on a dime and my ability to be nimble, if that makes sense. 2 rods with a slider each ( which I never use) should be enough . With small boat tactics , we have a huge advantage over bigger boats to be able to stay on fish when we Mark them or hook up . Bigger boats with boards and junk lines take forever to turn and get back over pods of fish . There advantage , among others , is ability to cover a lot of water . You aren't a big boat so don't try to be one . I fish LO . I target kings mostly in the fall but this spring early summer I hammered them by running 2 flasher setups . The flashers call the fish to me . If fishing shallow , less than 50 ft maybe an in line planer with a stickbaits or deep diver or short core to get away from boat . But less is more IMO . Run what you have out correctly. I fish alone mostly
