Landed 4 steelies ( all small , 12-16 inches) , 4 shaker kings and lost two bigger , landed one decent. All clean , no lampreys or scars

Also, keep in mind that just because your sonar is telling you that your bait is at 100 ft depth , it’s NOT Your depth finder is actually a distance finder It’s showing your weight at 100 , that’s 100 ft from the transducer , not 100 ft depth. Because of blowback , you may need to let out a lot more cable to actually reach 100 ft depth.

I always release them. In at least 4 pieces

Don’t forget waiting an hour in line to launch. The good ole days 😝

I’ve caught too many fish to count using long lines. I use neutral buoyancy stick baits ( husky jerks ) to stop the problem of snagging bottom. A lot of early spring fishing is done in 5 ft of water

We fished before boards were introduced. I fish the Eastern end of the lake. Oswego harbor to nine mile pt. Was our stomping grounds loooong lines are key. In shallow water the boat spooks the fish , so very long ( 150-175 ) lines are necessary. Good luck

All very interesting answers. I agree that Brandon is an inept , probably demented , total disaster. But we can put our money where our mouths are. I just sent a healthy donation to a BBB accredited Ukraine relieve website. I’ll buy less tackle and fuel if it means helping these poor refugees . The US should open its borders to these displaced women and children. Brandon doesn’t mind the illegal immigrants from our southern border. Let’s give these people a home. Temporary or permanent. And it’s time to think about stopping Putin before it’s too late. He doesn’t seem to fear radiation ☢️

That “big rich company “ is assemblyman Will Barkley. He went to court and got a ruling that he owned 2.5 miles of prime fishing water on the salmon River because he owned property on both banks of the river , he owned the bottom of the river It is trespassing to wade the river in this stretch He is making a fortune charging to fish , what I maintain is public fishing If this Pay for access continues , fishing will be limited to those that can afford the fees. The rich get richer. No one should “own” a stream.

I let them suck onto my arm. My buddies wife was going over the side when I yelled “it’s got me “. We caught her just in time. Seriously, the blood and slime are toxic to humans. Wash your hands after handling / cutting them into little chunks I’ve heard of people eating them. No thanks
