  1. we tried paying last week at the new teller. Wouldn't take the cash. Must be working now.
  2. yup. get to the bar. Good temp, good water.
  3. Never fished the Bar, and figured now would be the best time to give it a whirl. We got out late friday night and we finally set up around 530. Started at the red can and trolled west with our riggers down 40 and 60, with a core down the chute and a three color up high. We marked a ton of bait with a few hooks and finally got a rod to fire and brought in a teen king. About a half hour later we got our 50 rigger screaming and netted a 16 pounder, our biggest on our 12lb line (which was pretty fun). Around 7, we lost a decent king right at the boat, but as soon as we lost it, our core starts taking off. 20 min later we net a 18 pounder. All hits came on DW Salmon Slapper. After a good night, we started to head in and motor quits. Awesome. We called a buddy to tow us in from 6 miles out. We spent the next morning working on the boat to no avail. We ended up going out on our buddies boat Saturday night. Surprisingly, there weren't many people out. We worked the same program with riggers down about 50' and full cores pulling the same spoon as they day before and were able to boat 4 more kings in the 8-15lb range. Sunday morning, people must have gotten word that silvers were here cuz there was a city of boats out there. Worked the same program we did the last few days and threw in 7 colors on the boards. We couldn't get a rod to move 'til about 8, but from then on, Salmon slapper and UV Dolphin were CRUSHING on the cores and riggers. We did 8 kings from 4-16lbs and a handful of mud chickens. Silvers are back, now go get 'em. PS Just because you have a 40' boat, doesn't mean you can go wherever you want, like trolling North/South while the fleet is going East/West....
  4. Any updates from anyone out after the 'awesome' weekend?
  5. Proud owner of a Frenchie. Great dogs, very playful and loyal, but like anything else, do your research.
  6. easy experiment. have a couple of the same color sticks, pull out the front hook on one, leave it on the other, run 'em the same depth and see if there is a difference pickin' up feesh.
  7. How would these be any different from other electronics on the boat? As for the size of wire you need, it should be dependent on how long the cable it from the rigger to power source (recommendations are in the manual).
  8. you are in hamburg right?
  9. A lot of walleye guys go heavy on the Kishels. We've used it for them and did a little better than average. Have yet to try in on Lake O though.
  10. I think there are different upload options when you upload to Youtube. Try and upload it again and see what options are given. Also, try another video hosting site such as Vimeo.
  11. any opinions on these^^^ (Harvey) vs Torpedo 16lbers??
  12. Looking at the 10 day weather, looks like a good amount of E NE wind next week hopefully with some rain mixed in.
  13. looks quite different than yesterday. pretty neat.
  14. Thinking of goin out sunday. Keep us updated!!
  15. sucks
  16. Black/glow/purple has done well for us, as well as black/UV. Both BW.
  17. I"m only in my 20s and this is damn true. Glad I listened to him.
  18. I have the Atommik style, but looking for the Torpedo design. Which does Harvey make?
  19. looking for a good condition 16lb Torpedo rigger weight, MAYBE a black Shark near the same weight. Also looking for a wire diver setup. Nothing extravagant, not looking for a Tekota or Coldwater, maybe something like 47LC, maybe Convector.
  20. I never noticed much of a difference rigging between the whole bait and the strips. What size whole bait did you get?? Try a smaller tray next time. Should work out better.
  21. has anyone ever used the whole alewives from GLT?? Do they fit into the 'standard' whole bait head (like BW)??
