Capt. - my check will be going in the mail tomorrow for the 6-3 salmon net Thx again, Chris
-
Perfect Capt - I will get a check out ASAP Tight lines, Chris
-
Awesome on picking up locally (I'm in Rochester). I'm in for a big net as long as long as the head of the net can slide down the handle to fit in the cuddy. Thanks Captain Larry, Chris

Musky - any chance you could post picture of the exact net? Also, what would shipping cost be on one of the 6x3 salmon nets? I'd be interested for sure as long as the head of the net is able to retract onto the handle for storage in my cuddy. Thanks, Chris

This is spot on - great post Brian! I agree 100%.

Agree 100%. There's times you can't even cross the channel to get to your slip at Mayers's there's so much boat traffic. I've also had many a day that the Bay is choppier than the Lake simply from all the boat wake action!!!!

Like anything, you never know until you give it a try. I agree with Fleet that you would have to get the Dipsy tagging bottom to agitate the lake trout into biting. I fish with cowbells all the time off my riggers, and they only work effectively for me when they are within a few feet of the bottom. Whenever, a rod goes cold for me it's inevitable that it simply is no longer nestling the bottom. 9 times out of 10, as soon as I get that bad boy back down on the bottom, a laker will crush it within ten minutes. That being said, many of us have had lake trout hit higher lures such as a suspended FF on a Dipsy or a spoon on a cheater before the water stratifies. Good luck, Chris

You'd be leading the LOC Derby with that fish. Not entered? Glad you found some kings though -Chris -
Thanks for the kind words gentlemen - it has been a great season and the earliest ever that we hit our 100th fish on deck of the season In classic B+E fashion, they haven't faxed over the information on the fish to the LOC yet......hopefully it will get there tomorrow. Good luck to all the great fishermen/women - be safe on the water, Chris

HERE"S THE VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AZAABiik6k&feature=youtu.be (Sorry about the corny music but I can only use free public domain sound tracks b/c of copyright law) First and foremost, I say it every year but we are blessed to have the freedom we have in this country to fish whenever we want. God Bless the USA and to all those who make it so great. We fished Anthony's boat earlier in the weekend, and he was an outstanding captain to navigate some rough seas two days ago, and his persistence to find the kings paid off with three nice hits. We were able to boat two of the kings, as the third one snapped off at the leader between the Dipsy and flasher. The two we landed were 10# plus, and both went back to fight another day. Anthony had us on the fish in 3-4' waves, mainly west of the Bay, around 180 fow. All three hit the exact same presentation: 225' wire Dipsy, green dot spinny and an A-Tom-Mik hammer fly. We slept in Saturday with Lady O boiling and initially we slept in today as well with the "threat" of strong seas again. However, after tossing and turning and not liking my decision to wimp out on fishing and not really seeing the trees blowing in the front yard, I made a quick call to Anthony and we decided on an impromptu trip from 9:30 til noon. Our first fish hit after two minutes of setting up and it was non-stop action thereafter. We fished entirely for lake trout with a goal to catch a 20 pounder. We wound up 7 for 9, with the final fish a beautiful 19#12 ounce bottom monster which is the biggest lake trout for my vessel. All fish came on hammerhead 5/0 cowbells and a chartreuse/orange spin n glow. We also tried to run a copper and two wires but the currents destroyed them with copious tangles. The fish weighed over 20 on the boat, but after it crapped the cooler it weighed in just shy of the 20 mark, but still good for 8th place on the LOC board. We have video of most of the battle, but of course the battery died in the beginning of the fight. I'm hoping Mr. Dave Chilson will still accept it for the video portion of the LOC. Good luck to all out there. Chris

Kings oh kings where are you.

Yes - when we saw lots of thick marks out deep and down deep (250-350' down) I ran the Deep Diver from Torpedo twice so far on two different trips and no luck. First trip the thing was a cluster @#$%, but I figured it out last week but no takers...........yet. Good luck, Chris -
Awesome stuff - kudos to you for honesty, integrity, and putting your daughter first to reel in the big one. I can guarantee the fish gods will reward you with an even bigger fish down the line! Thanks for sharing, Chris

Great advice here from Lund.......make sure you are not complacent with ignoring your balls dragging the bottom (insert punchline.....). Check your rods often, make sure you are rasining and lowering them to follow subtle changes in bottom structure so you don't hang up on a rock or debris on the bottom. It can save a slow day out there. Good luck, Chris
