Started in 25 feet. Water was no where near as clear as yesterday. Nothing for 2 hours. Moved out to 80 feet. Lakers off wonderbread hammerhead cow bell. Put dipsys out with NBK back 150 over 80 and something smashed the hell out of it,  took me out to 400 feet,  then the wire breaks....oh well.

On the way out of bear creek i went over this school of i dont know what...about 20 of them all about 16 inches long in 4 feet of water.  Maybe a school of stocked trout??? They were long and slender. 

Anyway, back at it tomorrow if it's not raining 

I have a 17.5 tracker...you're good

Shakedown cruise this afternoon....Gin clear out to 25. 41F everywhere.  Not a mark on the screen, moved out to 50 feet, blank screens....but I got the dust washed off alot of gear.

Does the North wind have an impact? Is that why it was so cold compared to other days and did that keep the fish out deeper?

That looks very tasty, I have to give that a try. I've done something similar with king salmon filets but not with browns. Thanks for posting this. 

I didn't with kings...its Flippin awesome

Exactly!!

No kidding right...its so good I dont know why it took so long for me to do it. I had some thia morning on a bagel with cream cheese mixed with capers and dill...holy crap man

I did the same with a king. It was so dam good I plan on making it with every king I catch...well at least 1

Thank you!!!...ill do some research tonight

Right now I have a lowrance hook2 7 inch screen. Last year toward the end, the screen would go blank, then restart and totally aggravate the snot out of me. I want a new unit, I could probably squeeze a 9in in there. I was considering a helix g4n to pair with the I pilot link upgrade on the way, but im not sold on it. Whats everyone's opinion  or recommendation.  Thanks.

I'd Ike to get my boys out catching spring perch in Ibay or Sodus. Any recommendations on location/depth you care to share. Ty.

Wire on all four dipseys. Inside mags 9’ rods. Outside regular size dipsey 10.5’ rod.

This is for fishing down to 100’ or so and not too bad of currents.

Perfect...thank you 

Yeah...I do well on wire divers and not so well on lead or copper. So I  thought I would try 2 divers a side. 

This year I want to run 2 dipsey on one side. I have 2 dipsey rods with wire for the inside low diver.  What set up should I use for the outside diver...wire or braid and do i need a longer rod for outside?

Got some early BDay gift cards. Im going to BPS tomorrow and looking for advice on what stick baits for spring browns....and go......

I saw those, but I was holding out for something cheaper knowing the balance and agility of my clumsy 12 yr old. Time for him to start cleaning some hulls.

Thank you 

My 12 year old is a freak of nature 6 foot 2, size 14 shoe. Looking for anyone or anywhere that sells size 15 bootfoot chest waders. 

Thanks for the help.
