Legacy

Looks like mother nature is throwing us another curve ball for opening day. Looking forward to another season. Lots of prep, just hoping it pays off. I have a couple of sets I cant wait get into.

My guess is 3.5-4.5 years old. (fyi deer seldom reach outside the ears before year 3). Definitely worth flinging a arrow or 2 at.

yup, exactly. It will help.

to make things easier match your overall leader length to your wire rod length it will help netting.

sorry to hear that Ray

Go Yankees!!!

Im firm on the price guys.

The past couple of weeks we have pounded the shallows in search of staging matures out front. We have targeted 7-15 fow with plugs (red headed silver bullets, green glow, and chart) and also big firetiger Thundersticks off the shallow riggers, 2-3 color cores, and flatlining off the big boards.

Happy Birthday Mark

I upgraded to them this year and couldnt be happier with them. Ultimately you will be happy with either choice.

Happy Birthday Hank

Think scent free... everything you bring into the woods must be scent free. backpack, gloves, calls, bow, arrows, everything must be sprayed. During the entire deer season i only use scent free soap, shampoo, and deordorant. Everything i wear is on a scheduled to be washed twice a week in scent free laundry soap. Once everything is washed it is placed in a rubbermaid storage container and stored there between uses. My base layers are scent lokk which do a great job in wicking away moisture and also controling human scent. I also try to carry my outer layers to the stand so im not sweating up a storm before arrival. Although my clothes may be scent free i always spray down when i arrive. Everything going with me gets sprayed. Rubber boots are also a must. They do a great job of keeping your walk in scent free. The best thing to do is to control scent at every possible level. There are plenty of companies selling scent control products and for the most part they all do the same thing. Ultimately the wind will dictate your success and you must play the wind smart but scent control will definetely give you an advantage.

Congrats to Capt Bob Holden and the Fishing Finactic team beating a field of 15 boats with a 23.5# King

Left the dock Saturday and headed west. We shut down and setup around Bald Eagle and trolled west. Great picture in 60-80 fow all day but it took us a little bit to get them figured out. A few shots off spin doctors and flies but for the most part it was a spoon bite. Divers w/ green halo Spin Doctor/ flies 120 & 144. Blood Run 300' copper w/ white double crush Smartfish. 10 color cores and riggers loaded with a mix of spoons. Ended up 12 for 15 w/ some small kings, a few matures and an 11# Brown for our efforts. Woke up to thunderstorms and high winds on Sunday morning which kept us dockside till about 7. We headed west again today but stopped at Devils nose and setup. We were hoping to find our screen from the day before but we all know how things change overnight. We had a tough time the first half of the morning finding a fishable screen, cold water ,or active fish. It wasnt until 1100 the winds died, the lake layed down and we had some cold water start to roll in. 105 fow was the best screen we found all morning and quickly started to pull mature Kings and steelhead from it. Flasher/fly bite was on today. Green dot SD, Green Halo SD, green/ crush on green Smartfish, and white dbl crush Smartfish all with a mix of flies deployed off Blood Run 300' coppers, 200 & 250 divers, 75' rigger. The only spoon to fire for us was a glow gator stingray off the 90 rigger which fired 4 times. After the worst early morning start of the season were ended up with 10 bites with the big fish of the day 20# and 21# Kings.

great place. did you fish the salt ponds?

5' leader puts it too close to the copper itself. 40' takes away alot of the swaying effect that copper has in the water. 25-30' is a happy medium.

30' of 20-30# flouro with spro swivels.
