    Welcome to the site. If you've already caught one, you must be doing something right. Fishing will pick up. In August a whole bunch will be coming you way. Tom B. (LongLine)

    That little gear on top of the starter needs a little grease now & then. If the truck battery acted the same when you jumped it. I'd strongly suspect a connection problem. Spit shine those connections with some fine sand paper; Tighten nuts with a wrench. But while you have the connections off look for corroded wires. Tom B. (LongLine)

    BINGO! You're going to have to move out a little farther than before and try more "stealth" type approaches. i.e. leaders, dipsy's etc. Also be careful not to fish "under" the fish. Tom B. (LongLine)

    You don't NEED to change hooks. You should experiment & find out what's best for you and your boat by observation. After that you may WANT to change hooks...maybe you won't. For example: if you're doing 2.5 mph and put a BF in the water about 5-6ft beyond your tip, you'll see a certain amount of wobble. Now change the hook to single & go the same speed, you'll see a different wobble. It has to do with the weight of the hook and its water resistance/drag. Bottom line: you'll get the same wobble at a slower speed with the single. On the CON side, spoons with singles may spin out at 3 mph whereas with a treble, they may not. If you want the same wobble with the single at 2.5 mph as you have with the treble lure at 2.5 then you'll have to bend the spoon a little. How does your boat troll? Do you have the full 1/4 mph increment ability? Will you brain-hook a few small fish with a single? yes. Will trebles get caught in the net more frequently? yes. I've changed just about every spoon to singles except DWss which have stayed as trebles. I have a few BFs and the jury is still out on them. On a side note, this time of year is when the hard-jawed Kings are going to start showing up & personally, I want the penetrating power of the singles. Tom B. (LongLine)

    If the current is doing it then when you reverse direction, i.e go the other way, then the other two should cross. Sounds to me like a fin is bent causing the outside rigg'r ball to go towards the center. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Don't loose too much sleep over it. Any fish that is not released will not survive. Some chance is better than no chance. On my boat, even lampreys get released...albeit in at least three pieces. (Gobys in two) Tom B. (LongLine)

    Out at 5 this morn. NE wind. Heavy clouds. Off Russell in 75-120. 7 knock-offs & couldn't get to them in time. Felt like a golfer that couldn't hit anything straight. 50-55 ft down. Mostly NK wonderbreads. temp down around 65. Fleas are here! Some huge pods in 95 ft. Met J.D. at the launch. Great to meet ya J.D. Good luck on Monday. Lenny (security guard) said someone was pulling real nice walleye out of the river. Maybe 6 trailers in the lot. (Freeking pictures didn't even come out!) Oh well, next Saturday will be here soon enough. It will get better! Tom B. (LongLine)

    WTG Chris! I was also out early. Had 7 freeking knock-offs off Russell & couldn't get to any of them in time. Felt like a golfer that could only shank everything in the woods. At least I met J.D. at the launch. - Great guy. Tom B. (LongLine)

    An author by the name of Ed Zern once suggested: 1. Send to museum requesting identification but use phony name...... 2. Stuff in someone else's mailbox...... 3. Throw them in back yard of neighbor that has all those D*m cats..... 4. Bait walrus traps with them..... Nah, probably all illegal....double bag them. Tom B. (LongLine)
