    Spoon Debate

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Keep the colors between black, glow, green, and silver and it should work. If all of those are on one spoon it's probably a good one. :lol:

    This describes a fair amount of spoons! But one that comes to mind that has all the colors is Michigan Stinger “Die Hard”

    That spoon in Stingray size was by far our best producing spoon last year. Although we always had it wet! :)

    Standard paint & UV both were strong producers.

    Do I need a Fish Hawk

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    For me its a gotta have. 

    Typically I can tell if my speed is good by diver rod action & blowback on rigger cables. However repeating an exact speed after a bite or two the fish hawk will help you dial it in better.

     The down temp is only achievable with a probe. As mentioned earlier its a good way to get your baits in the preferred temp target zone and eliminate less productive water. That being said everyone does catch fish out of temp but during the warm summer months most are caught in the zone.

    $700 could be tough pill to swallow for only a few trips a year but it will put more fish in the boat.

    Atlantic towers

    in This Old Boat

    Take a look at "Who Dat" towers. They do a lot of towers for the west coast guys and also aluminum boats. 

    When I bought my Hewescraft I was going to have them make me a tower but I ended up going with a full hard top.
