  1. They don’t nose dive at all!! Tried the big Offshore as well last year, first time using it took a nose dive, fell off and never did find it!! The Ziggy board worked great right out of the package, no weight to move or modification needed. They just don’t come with any clips because everyone likes certain ones. They do sell a clip for them but we were not familiar with that style clip so we used the OR-18.
  2. Just ordered a couple Ziggy Z Boards, Godzilla size, tried them today for the first time and they worked great! Put the OR-18 snapper clip on the front and OR-16 on the back.
  3. We ended up with 9 for 15, had a couple first time guys at the reels. 350-400 fow, Minion cotton candy paddle!! Gotta love Minion!! UV jelly meat rig. Can’t say enough about this world class fishery!!!
  4. Not sure if it’s open? I kinda doubt it, the water hasn’t gone down that much.
  5. Congratulations!! It was beautiful a boat, going to make someone happy!!!
  6. Hopefully Sunday’s wind forecast won’t be too rough, may have room for a couple people Sunday if it is too rough for your smaller boats?
  7. Good luck guys, I’ll be up this weekend as well fishing out of Wilson, channel 68 & 72
  8. I store them in tubes, both rigged not rigged.
  9. That’s awesome Garry!! It usually pays off, glad you got into them!!
  10. A little better today, 9/11, found a big bait pod and kept working it. 330 fow between Wilson and Olcott.
  11. Yeah a lot tougher than the forecast called for it to be! The only plus side was no ankle biting flies!! Back at it again tomorrow, hopefully it picks up!?!?
  12. Definitely a slow day for us as well, blew a fuse for one of the downriggers and did not have a spare. Ended up 6/10. Started in front of Wilson and ended up in Olcott. 300/350 fow best. Mostly a meat bite with spoons taking two.
  13. Chrome sharks when it’s sunny and black sharks when it’s early or overcast.
  14. Not always a relationship due to the strong currents from the river. Especially the west end of lake. Sometimes it’s not as bad off shore. Down speed in my opinion is very important. You can learn to watch your rigger cable and diver rods for more of an angle of the cable and bow of the rod.
  15. I’m just curious what is the advantage of a walk around deck? I see they are very popular.
  16. They are here in Ohio, I usually pick up bulk spools directly from them.
  17. When it’s documented and you take the boat out of the country you have additional rights on the boat that you would not have if it was just registered with a state. Also it’s easier for other countries to know who you are when you enter foreign waters. Yes it still needs to be registered with a state sticker even though it’s documented.
  18. Thanks John, I didn’t know that? Good info!
  19. Not sure how you would of come across 1200’ either, they only make weighted steel in 200’ and 300’ lengths?
  20. You definitely have some work ahead of you!!
