hard knox

Head for the plant stay tight to shore line and plant corner marker at first light you will find the fish and a few boats showing you were to work .

Getting 12 to 18 wife blames me for getting boat out and getting ready for browns !

I wont even enter a hunting or fishing tournament anymore there is always someone in the tournament cheating . Sometimes i ask my self how it is that we ended up being called sportsmen when i hear other hunters bragging about how many deer they shot that year . The hole time having no regard for bag limits or methods used it makes me sick that they have such little respect for the game or fellow hunters .

Does anyone have a horse we can all beat lol.

As song dog said that teal colored water is the best fishing if you cannot find it fish the muddy water you will find both are warmer the clear water and way better fishing . Fish tight to shore with stick bats just of bottom and you should find some browns .Last year went 19 for 21 on browns 2nd weak of April out of Oswego in the teal water it was 4 to 6 degrees warmer then the clear water .

I on the other hand can not stand a copper and run weighted steel use braid for a backer and 300 feet of weighted steel .The 300 feet will put you down 60 feet and it just plain catches fish as far as getting deeper you could clip on a snap weight of choice . As for as using with boards i will turn the front pitch pad release around backwards on my church tackle walleye boards and it will not pull of board or kink the line . I use mine for browns .steelies and kings and find it works great .

I like a little more natural color spoons johnson slama spoons .suttons in a trout pattern a dream weaver silver carbon is all ways good for kings and browns . If the water is clear stay with natural colors in green or muddy water you can go a little brighter latter in the year when water warms look for 58 to 62 degree water were it meets bottom .and fish it . A dreamweaver in the larger size in habanaro is a great spoon as well for kings and browns .

Empire covers make some for soft tops under 100 bucks for rod storage and light trolling .They fasten to your soft top frame and they have 2 different sizes .

And of April out of Oswego i look for muddy or green water it will be a little warmer and fish 10 to 20 feet of water .Use mag lips and mutzui stick baits of boards and run a long center lead core and a short center weighted steel and pound the browns . Once you find the pocket of fish stay with them i try to get the sticks to tick bottom its pretty much a goby pattern . I run about 10 feet of 15 lb blue label and use a very small duramax swivel to attach to main line and just a duel lock snap to attach bait of choice .

Works great but when the flees move in it can get so bad that it can stop the down rigger had to remove mine and go back to wire .

Worksharp is the way to go crazy sharp!

still for sale

The kicker is a 9.9 hp 4 stroke long shaft going to steer using my steering rod linkage that works of back of engine as steering will not clear engine well for big engine . Looking at some off the large brackets buy panther or garalic that way if i upgrade to a larger kicker latter i will be good . Just wondering witch brand is better then from there i will need to look at specs .

Just purchased a 220 sea pro and need to mount my kicker looking for recommendations on a bracket would need to be able to lift up to tilt and set off transom enough to clear a trip tab . THANKS
