If the fish are in the area the evening bite can be very good. Stick it out until dark if you can. Glen

Very sorry to hear of your incident BP. Hope somebody can ID this clown. Glen

Well seriously Tim are you kidding? Last year at Oswego we moved from the lower middle of the pack to take a second place in the proam just 6 points out of first because most everybody was Brown trout fishing and on day two I knew I had to find Salmpon to win it. We did and just missed the win. Had I not known where we stood in the standings I would have continued to fish Browns as they where plentiful and had to rely on luck to do well. Somebody else would have been cashing the check. Sounds like you are talking about a one big fish derby. Completlely different ball game. No strategy just luck. Don't play the dead fish thing with me. I kill fish every weekend (or try to) as people do actually eat them. Can't tell you how many "estimated" 25+ lb Salmon I've heard about on the radio during the spring LOC that didn't make the 20 lb limit once it was hung on the scale. As far as my post goes, a guy asked a question....I answered it. Good fishing. Glen

You answered your own question howitzer. To announce your weight over the radio, lets the other guys know what they need to beat you. Not a very smart strategy as most guys enter a tournament to try and win it. Glen

Sounds like a great start to your retiremnet. Congratulations Glen

Happy Birthday Todd. Nice job in the LSRC. Glen

Oh really. I can't tell you how many fish I've taken out of temp. Way out of temp. Fish that I wouldn't have caught if I restricted myself to only fishing temp. These fish are usually up there feeding and are active fish. A good graph and knowing how to read it is far more valuable than a temp unit. Pauls advice is spot on and by the way it's coming from a guy who makes his living on the water with many many years on the lake. He's caught more fish than most guys have ever seen. He won't give you advice based on an isolated incident or two but based on years of experience and success. You make the call. Good luck. Glen

I run a big snap swivel off my main line and attach the snap swivel from the spin doctor to it. (2 big snap swivels) You got to get some big duo snaps to attach to the bottom swivel on the doctor. I know. For what they cost they should come with them. They don't. I also been running some snaps that come with a cork screw. Can't remember who makes them but they been working out good on the bottom of the spin doctors. Pretty sure if you go to the Spin Doctor website they have them. Glen

22 ft per 100 at 2.2 mph drgging a flasher and fly. Deeper with a spoon and shallower the faster you go. Also copper will sink like a rock on inside turns. Glen

Cool. Now we can't go and fish for the fish we stock. Glen

As of last Sunday the majority of the Browns were west of the plant. Warm water in the Bay and the few fish that were still in there were from 40 ft down, 60 fow and deeper. Anybody that tells you there are enough Kings to fish is hallucinating. At least as of last Sunday. Glen

5 foot booms off the sides would help. Avoid sharp turns and you will be fine. Don't run all four, or two next to each other at the same depth. I used to run a four attractor program off 4 riggers out of a 17 1/2 foot Starcraft fishmaster without problems. Do not raise or lower your riggers while on a turn and avoid releasing lines to change lures while on a turn. Glen

Not a thing wrong with running two rods. Go for it. But if three won't help you catch more fish then maybe you should buy some golf clubs. Glen

Not sure I want to worry about what county I'm in while on the water. My vote is leave as it is. Glen

Nice!!!! Glen

If I had to buy again I would buy Otter Boats. Very stable in rough water. I have to take the keels off for storage but it's worth it. Glen

Call them.

I'll give the gorilla glue a shot. The aluminum is a good idea but would not have prevented this particular damage. Thanks. Glen

I had a chunk of foam break out of one of my otter boats last weekend. It's where one of the bolts that hold the keels go through and about the size of a silver dollar. Anyone ever glue that material back together? What would be the best cement or glue to use? Thanks Glen

Happy Birthday Tim. Good seeing you this weekend. Glen

Well put Shade. Glen

I guess we will give it a shot. Glen

I got a couple sharks I would part with Brian. You interested? Let me know I'll bring them west. Glen

Not to throw a monkey wrench in the mix but we been running atomic torpedos with Scotty releases off the tails for a long time without issues. 13's down to 200 + fow. 4 riggers off an 8 foot beam. Maybe just lucky. Had problems with Sharks and pancakes. No problems with balls or torpedos. Glen

Ya, Everybody is just so dam honest there is no need for observers. Or to lock your house or car. Nobodys going to cheat for a measly 3 grand in the am and upwards of 10 in the pros. And lets call it off becuase the waves are 4 foot. Hell lets do away with the weigh in. Most people have scales on thier boats. The proams aren't for everybody. I enjoy them becuse they are as structured as they are. Geared towards the serious tournament fishermen. Not perfect, but what is? There are enough derbys on the lake for the guys that don't like the strucure. Fish those and leave the proams alone. Good fishing. Glen
