  1. You might want to re-read some of your posts DNR...... In 3.....2.....1.....this post will be locked by the Moderators
  2. Awesome link man! I'll play around with some different tracks in the future. Thanks very much, Chris
  3. Video Added guys/gals Music is ridiculous, as Youtube blocks standard copyrighted music tracks..... Good luck to all, Chris
  4. Capt. - my check will be going in the mail tomorrow for the 6-3 salmon net Thx again, Chris
  5. That's awesome stuff - way to go!! That plaque is what I like to see my tax dollars spent on. Now go get an even bigger one! Thanks for sharing Chris
  6. Perfect Capt - I will get a check out ASAP Tight lines, Chris
  7. 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
  8. Awesome report Rick - way to make the best of what the lake offers at a given time. One client said "...I wasn't expecting to catch anything on this charter...." eh? He picked the wrong boat then. Good luck and as always thanks for sharing, Chris
  9. 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
  10. This is spot on - great post Brian! I agree 100%.
  11. 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!!!!
  12. 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
  13. Don't forget "cleat" or us
  14. You'd be leading the LOC Derby with that fish. Not entered? Glad you found some kings though -Chris
  15. WTG guys/gals!! Be safe and good luck on the water, Chris
  16. 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
  17. Wtg - very awesome fish. Be safe and good luck, Chris
  18. 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
  19. No problem bud The lady at the Post Office crapped her pants when she picked up the box. She made us reinforce it with all that tape that you saw. I hope they all made it in one piece. Good luck this year, Chris
  20. For some reason there was a post here and there about "crying the blues about the lack of king action while pounding the browns and lakers....". I'll tell ya what - then show me some BB King, b/c I'd rather catch some of those mud monsters then wash lures all day. Thanks for the report Chris
  21. 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
  22. TTT The boards, balls and flashers are all accounted for
  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. I added a video link. It's worth a few laughs (especially the sunglasses overboard part) Good luck to all, Chris
