  1. My number one producer lately for flashers has been a green Spin Doctor with a green hammer Atommik fly. For spoons, the Stinger NBK in Stingray and Mag has been Hot Hot Hot all season. Here are some of my favorite flasher / fly combos: White Spin Doctor with the Hammer fly Green Spin Doctor with the Packer fly White Spin Doctor with the Mirage fly Favorite Spoons: Mulatto Froggy / glow froggy Wonderbread Spook Kevorkian
  2. We let it go becuase I didn't feel that it was worth it to kill a fish that would not stay on the board. FISHINMAN is around. It sounds like he is really busy or he can't get that kid to go with him anymore because of the skunk the one day! :shock:
  3. Bob, I went East. I saw a smaller boat when we were picking up heading in. I have a tan stacraft with a brown canvas, four cannon riggers, two big john planner masts.
  4. Fished the same zone as yesterday. The screen was loaded with bait in the dark. Once it got light, the screen dried up. Did a double at first light and that was it for kings. Tried lakers for a short time and did a 11 lber and the smallest laker I have caught yet. It was 10" long. The temp was 25' shallower than it was yesterday and the current was strong. Both kings came on NBK (what a suprise). The lakers came on the usual Cowbell and peanut rigs. Good luck to everyone that gets out tonight. LTtroller, what boat were you in?
  5. Fished on the Trout-N-About this morning. Things were a little slow but we ended the day 5 for 9. The biggest was weighed in but did not make the board (27lbs. 3 oz.). Fished from 105 - 125. Tons of marks but not many takers. it sounded like it was the same for everybody. I will be back at it tomorrow on my own boat. PS. One of our LOU members (I won't mention any names) was attacked by a king last night and spent some time in the emergency room getting his finger fixed.
  6. Bosco, Alewives are primary forage for I-bay walleyes in June/July when they come into the bay to spawn. The rest of the year thet are eating perch, shad, and other bait fish. I have noticed the same thing that the I-bay walleyes are not the greatest eaters.
  7. Was not me. I was stuck working today. Hopefully things improve in the next couple of days.
  8. Lake trout are smarter than that!
  9. Stix, I don't know about this particular unit but, I have owned Garmin products in the past and loved them. The quality of the product is great. My next GPS will be a Garmin. Good luck.
  10. It would be a little tough with the currents. Give it a try and let us know how it works.
  11. Usually upwelling spreads the fish out because there prefered water temp is screwed up. Upwelling also usually means bad currents. The temp off (50degrees) of Sandy creek 3 days ago was down 105'. Today it is 43 degrees on the surface. At this time of the year, find bait and the fish should still be there.
  12. Don't worry Pat, we will not tell her.
  13. Upgrady, Don't let that ocean boy try to fight a king the way those boys fight those ocean fish. I have seen that one too many times. They like to reel fast and set the hook hard enough to rip lips off.
  14. I would put backing on it before I spliced 2 spools of wire together. I don't know how the knot would hold up.
  15. Gotta love idiots.
  16. I'm going to try in the AM. Thanks Foster. Good luck!
  17. Nice going Pat, you just ruined that. She probally will lose the next king she hooks into. Great job guys. You guys just made FISHINMAN cringe with those laker pictures.
  18. I like fishing the Northern end of the lake on the West side (from Long Point to the North end). Fish outside the weed lines with large silver spoons or daredevils. I found spoons out fish body baits, spinners and spinnerbaits. Good luck.
  19. Read todays attheoak.com report. 43 degrees on the surface in 100 fow. thats not good.
  20. One of the guys from my marina was out yesterday morning and the 39 degree water was 45' down. I hope it is wrong.
  21. This should screw things up for a couple of days! Check out the link below. http://www.coastwatch.msu.edu/ontario/o2.html
  22. Congrats Jeremy and also to you Foster. Way to represent Sandy Creek! Is he sharing some of the winning with you?

    Nice boat Jeremy.
  24. CDS, Purchase Penn 345 GTI or Penn 340 GTI, a good rod (I purchased a 8' leadcore rod), one 300 yd spool of 50 lb. power pro and 30 lb. seagar florocarbon for the leader. You can go with a 200' copper for 40 - 45' down, 300' copper for 60 - 65' down, 400' copper for 80 -85' down, 500 copper for 100 - 105' down or a 600' copper for 110 - 115 down. A Penn 340 will hold 200' and 300' of copper,backing and leader. A Penn 345GTI will handle the rest of the combos. Attach the backing to the copper and the copper to the leader with the albright knot. Go to the At-tom-mik webiste and they have already spooled Penn reels (copper, backing, and leader) for a great price. Don't be shocked when you see the price of the set up. Copper is expensive to run. Run the copper off of plainer boards or tail gunning right off the back of the boat.
  25. FISHINMAN, If you did not lose your probe in the first place, you would not have these problems :shock: :shock: :shock:
