FWIW, they have been hammering those little Michigan Stinger spoons the last two weeks. I am running them on cheaters 14 feet back, maybe 2-3 feet above the mainline release. You might just try running one right behind the ball on a mainline. Cross lock snap and 8# leader. Thermocline is still right around 30 feet and you want to park that spoon right there or just above a foot or so. Copper with some orange/red on it. There is one in the pictue if you can see it.

I have the same motor you are looking at with the I-pilot. Definitely get the one with the I-pilot,

Got out around 3:30 for a troll in the 40 foot water near 123 and 125. Not hot and heavy but ended up with my limit in a couple of hours. Bare Naked reef runner, gold F7 Rap on a deep diver plug rig, and one on a harness off the rigger. Lost a couple others on the reef runner.

We fished today from 10 to 11. First rod down took an 18 incher immediately on a worm harness. Few other really light bites that we did not hook up on. Fish were flat on the bottom on the finder. Yesterday when they were biting well they were up off bottom a bit.

Did pretty well this morning. Started out with a plug troll for a pass with one keeper. Switched to worm harnesses and drifted from Buoy 121 to 125. Found a bunch around 123 to 125 in 33 to 36 fow. Ended up with 9 keepers a few shorts and a half dozen or so that came unglued. First couple came on plain lead bottom bouncers with nothing on the chartreuse ones. Switched all the rods to lead ones and got all the rods working. Had some action with a harness 15 feet behind a downrigger ball too. 1.0 mph. Here are the harnesses that worked for us.

Made a quick trip for my nephew's graduation and got a little fishing in. Didn't get to do any halibut fishing, except in my brothers freezer. Catch rate was pretty good in there! Few more pictures, the cost of king salmon at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, some king crab that crawled into our tanner crab pot (couldn't keep them), and some spot prawns.

Hit the water at 1:30 for a few hours out of the south shore launch. Made a downwind troll in front of the island to maybe a 1/2 mile east of the launch where we hit our first fish. Ended up with four between 18 and 19 inches in about 45 minutes. kids wanted to go do some casting so we left them and headed for some calmer water for the last hour. One came on a Bare Naked Reef Runner, the other other three on a 7F black/gold rapala taken down deep on a deep diver Eriedescent Rapala on a three way rig. All back around 130 or so on the inline boards. 25 fow. No bites on the riggers today. When we pulled the boat, ran into a guy and gal at the launch who had launched when we did and had tried for walleyes with no success. In fact they had never caught a walleye ever. I offered him a couple of ours but they said no thanks because they didn't know how to clean them anyway. Really made their day when I fileted two of them right there on the spot for their supper tonight! Hopefully some good karma will lean my way when I am halibut fishing in Alaska this week.

Trolling motor experience with Minn Kota Power Drive V2
Miss em replied to youngknight's topic in This Old Boat
I was out today trolling worm harnesses with the iPilot. Someone on here had mentioned that there was two modes for the autopilot feature. The second mode you get to by holding down the autopilot button for 2 or 3 seconds. What a difference. The regular mode always wandered a bit for me. The second mode tracks amazingly straight. Just a quick press on the left/tight buttons seems to give you about 5 degrees of course change. -
I was just going to post to see how guys did on Oneida today. We went out at noon today for a few hours. Tried trolling plugs in 15 to 20 fow, then switched to harnesses and ended up catching one walleye in 20 fow. Seemed slow for a couple of the people I talked to at the launch.
