Tell me about it... Seen more bait in one week than I did all season... [ Post made via Android ]

No Problem Paul. I figured you had clients today. We were just out having a good time and the nasty weather held off. Glad ya got it figured out, the front for some reason made the fish want it slower... Recently I had been trolling about 2-2.5 ball speed... Today was 1.3-1.5

Well, Friday, we were able to sneak out with the winter beater and do a trial on the motor and performance of the rig. It ran pretty good and even catches fish. We fished for about an hour and found some lakers, salmon and even a nice brown. Used two dipsys and two inline cores. Had to do it! I have never owned an outboard boat that was not a tiller motor. I kind of like it! Dislike loading an unloading a trailer however . I guess I grew to love a slip. Boat is a good ride and should get the job done. Here is a couple shots of the fish. The salmon was about 7#'s Saturday, I was able to get out on REEL STORIES and had Joe, Mike his boy Brandon and Bill along. We went out for a morning fish. It was not hot nor heavy but we plucked away at them. We hit a grand slam. A few of everything. Nothing big, mostly good eaters and smaller. Had a nice bow that we did C&R and another that couldn't make it. Never let anything go to waste! It was fun to be out and a nice way to start a perfect weekend on the water. Enjoyed a nice dinner with the girlfriend at the Village Bar & Grille and stayed for the band all night... Monday, Joe and Will and I set out about an hour before dawn. I wanted to get in on the brown action seeing we got one Friday night on a FF combo, I figured we could get some more if we targeted them. Fished the 55-75 shelf running dipsys and riggers. Had two cores on the outside over the deeper water. Didnt take long and got what we were hunting for. A beautiful brown to start the day! We continued on a north troll up the lake and fished this shelf the entire way. We hit Lakers, BROWNS, a bow, and salmon. GRAND SLAM! One of the lakers came from the warm waters of 57 degrees. Thought that was strange but he fought like a football brown so it was fun! I had a blast we trolled about ten miles north of watkins hitting those browns the entire way. Not sure if they have been there all season or if they are working their way towards the streams for the fall runs. They were all hefty and a nice C&R on all fish today. Here are a few shots of todays fish. Tight lines guys, Nick

Cummins are nice. I love a red engine, but a cat you can't beat. See what gives ya the best coverage for warranty.. the caterpillar marine engines from what I've read are bulletproof. What model cat would it be? Cat has the best PM options.. [ Post made via Android ]

Looking forward to reports.. keeps us sane at work. [ Post made via Android ]

I did my shimano tekotas this year with the upgraded carbon fibers as well. Was not that bad. Just lay them on order as you take it apart. Clean REEL well and put the carbons in dry, lubing other moving parts. The longest part of the process is cleaning the old "crap" out... Good luck, Nick [ Post made via Android ]

Are ya out!? [ Post made via Android ]

Thanks guys, no need for a bigger one.. I just wanted to be able to get out in the off season while my trophy is up for winters rest... I've already done quite a bit of work on it.. just put a new floor in. It's gonna be fun.. We all know what boat means lol. [ Post made via Android ]

Well, I finally bit the bullet and got a winter beater kind of like the guys who buy the low end rusty cars for winter time so their pretty hondas with aftermarket bumpers and a cold air intake can sit in the garage... Yeah, I gave in.. Got a great deal on this oldy but goody. Its a 78 Grady. I am looking forward to making some serious memories and REEL STORIES aboard it. Looks like a great boat for all year round. Even a trip to Lady O!! Going to slowly add some gear. If anyone knows much about the 150 rudes, and wants to fill me in on the pro and cons that'd be great... I was thinking of naming it POND HOPPER... Nick

have you ever been there? She has old penns in brand new boxes. Crazy, and its old stock. She's great

she somehow always seems to have the older stuff with new tags on it... Store might be messy but shes the nicest lady in the world and she will do anything to get it for ya too..

try brewers in ovid, she has some older poles like that laying in there on the shelf I believe..

yikes, I forsee a fish hawk in the spring... I like the moor, but i dislike the constant cable pealing.. am I worng to think I should get more than one season without it pealing?

ed, wanna come show me a thing or two with browns? LOL' Nice fish, nice story. Boys identical to ya.. I think its the tie..
