  1. Run close to bottom for the browns !
  2. That place can be funny if i am having a tough go of it there and i am not marking lots of bait or fish i will pick up and make 8 mile run east or west and take a look around many times it changes the hole game and puts me on fish .
  3. I run about 6 to 8 feet behind flasher !
  4. You dont here alot of talk about it but trust me i allways run spoons behind padels and spin doctors just use a long leader to the spoon as it does not need action from the padel .
  5. Thats a great looking hull i would put a 4 stroke yamaha and a kicker and keep that thing for North Carolina offshore fishing ! Or for even less money change out to a i/o . There is tuna in those waters down there a couple bluefin would help pay for the up grades . Good luck with the sale i wish i was !
  6. I have caught alot of land locked salmon drifting live smelt with a spinning rod using split shot and nose hooked smelt . Most productive rod is the one in your hand as when you feel the bight you drop it back a little then set the hook . I dont feel large sinkers would work well as the fish will feel it and drop the bait . I would try using your rigger with a long leed and a very light release or send it down to depth with then trip the release and it will rise very slowly .
  7. On my church tackle walleye boards i was able to just turn the release round .
  8. You should see the size of some of the stripers that you can catch there well trolling macks for tuna on the south end of the bank its crazy !
  9. I would look at the Henderson area !
  10. Nice job nothing wrong with 13 bites from kings get the lose ratio a little better and you will be slaying them .
  11. Nice thanks guys was hoping they were in tight leads to some great mixed bag fishing .
  12. Going to fish Oswego tomorrow and thursday looking for a little info on the most recent local bight any info would be great thanks .
  13. Those are some nice birds great jobs guys opening day for me and the wife was a bust do to some hunters showing up late to the party after we were working a couple nice toms . So went back solo next morning and called in 4 hens and two nice toms dropped this 20 lb bird with a 8 inch beard and 1 inch spurs about 1 hour after first light . Heading to Arizona for a couple days to see my daughter then back at it hopefully the 2nd bird will come quick as i have a knee surgery on the 14th . Thats a bummer hopefully it does not slow me down for long lots of fish waiting to be caught .
  14. Order the prop you want online and drop the other one of for repair its allways good to have the spare prop anyways .
  15. I will tell you that fish from the grocery store is probably not that fresh and how nose what it has been washed. If you want nice fresh bait for meat rigs all you have to do is cut your bait strips out of any silver sided fish that you catch like salmon ,browns. steelhead if you want to freeze it and use latter you can put in kosher salt and a little borax and it will last much better after you take it out of freezer . I have been using king salmon skin the last 2 years works great .
  16. Yaa its not for public land hunting or in the timber i allways try to use it in the open were i can see anyone or anything coming the hard part is finding a bush or rock to back up against .
  17. What you can do to fire those henned up birds is use a tom decoy in full strut and gobble at them alot it will piss off the dominant bird and bring him running . Good luck !
  18. Just bought couple dozen meat heads looking to buy some teaser flies any info on were i could find good supplier for teaser flies .Thanks
  19. Heard they were at 150 last weak outside of Oswego and browns were 12 to 20 take a boat ride and look for green water for the browns use goby colored sticks tight to bottom and you will catch .
  20. Thats funny it takes me months to get my boats PV inspection done and i have to pay for that .
  21. Thats for sure its funny how when i was a little kid i tested his patience and now he test mine but we always manage to have a great time and catch a lot of fish .I try to get him out there when i can its great to see him have a good time because i no it wont last forever .
  22. MY LEAD CORE SET UP IS CORE TO 25 FEET TOP SHOT THEN LEADER 8 FOOT LEADER 15 FLORO I RUN THIS DOWN THE SHOOT I USE A STEARN PLANER AFTER LEAD IS OUT ATTACH TO BACKING AND LET WAY BACK . THEN I USE A WAIGHTED STEEL ROD SAME SET UP WITH TOP SHOT AND LEADER AND LET OUT 90 FEET OF WIRE AND FISH THE PROP WASH JUST OF BOTTOM . THE STEARN PLANER IS A TROLLING BOBBER MADE BY CHURCE TACKLE IT ALLOWS YOU TO PUT TWO FLAT LINES DOWN THE SHOOT . DEEP DIVING STICKS WERE USED ON BOARDS .
