Will be at LOTSA

Very cool can't wait!

BERTS BERTS BERTS!!!!! Ratching Berts are the best! Easy for getting your rod out when a fish is going the other way. They go into a tracking system like you are looking for! They are a little pricey but they are worth every penny, you will not regret.

Never A bad time to fish this lake!! Spring time time kill the Browns, Coho's, and maybe even A King as i caught my first King last year in March!! Summer till Fall the biggest Kings on the great lakes cant beat it! Just be carefull because once you come back and do it break out the wallet because it's like CRACK you just can't get enough!!

Without a doubt Maxima line for your riggers i run 20lb with a 15lb flouro leader. And for the dipsey set up run wire. You can run braid which works fine up till the flea's start then after that forget it!

I run frog all time and light them up on it!!

Will be there thanks!

Do you have to be a charter Capt. to attend?

Thanks alot for the info guys!! now I look for an autopilot form my boat, since the boat i wanted to buy sold on me!!

My ? was not if i had power steering because i know that i do. It was how to tell what style i had? should there be visable cables i could see with a machanical? I was told you can have a power steering to assist mechanical steering. And i also thought the power steering pump would aid the hyrd. steering? Man i guess this was a stupid question

To me both are great units but...... I know im going to get crushed for this ..... do you really need a $1300-$1500 unit for open water Trout and Salmon fishing? IMO your down/speed unit is what you need to catch fish on Lake O! Sure everyone would love to have one of those expensive units but are they necessary? I have a Garmin unit that i payd like $600 the marks fish , puts down way points, has all the gps you could want, the only thing i wish it had was a bigger screen because the 5in is hard to see when im in the back of the boat. Again this is ONLY my opinion and am not Knocking anyone for what they use given if i had they $$ I would probably run one of the more expensive ones to just to say i had one. ok now i will take my beating! Thanks Matt -Jakey Baby-

How do I know if my boat has mechanical or hydr. steering? I know i should know this but I honsetly have no clue. My boat is 215 Chris Craft Sea Hawk with a 3.7L 4cyl. 180Mercruiser engine. I do know that there is a belt driven power steering pump if that helps at all. Thanks Matt

booo

Well i guess i dont have to worry about it any more since the boat was sold last night . Sucks but what can you do, atleast i wont have another loan to pay for . Matt

well i talked to Tommy today about the boat and all he would give me is the cons about this boat!! He says there is no pro's in buying a boat!haha but the biggest isue i have now is more than likely I wont be able to hear it run since it is Jan. And i def no i aint going to be able to her take for a test ride! This sucks I want this toy!!

You guys are starting to scare me!!! I did try to contact Tommy yesterday but no answer. This boat is about 2-3 hours away so might be a little tough to find someone to go with me. But I def. want this thing, it is a sweet ride (from what i've seen of it) and has everything you would ever need to fish Lady O!!

Was not in the market for a new boat giving i love fishing off the one i have! But a buddy of mine is selling his 95 Penn Yan Outrage LOADED for what seems to be a pretty good price! Dont know much about PY's, so was hoping for a little better knowledge on this style boat. Should i run away or at it?? Thanks Matt -Jakey Baby-

I know this is a little off course but i run my offshore walleye boards in the spring for the Browns. I love them and honestly feel like i catch more fish using them over my big boards. dont know if they give alittle differnt action or if it just luck, but they def work better. I have caught Browns, Bows,Coho, and Kings pullin that way with no problems. I now even pull my 10 colors all summer that way and love it. They are alot easier to deploy and to switch lures. Yes the weight of the board is there wile fighting the fish untill you remove it, but there are a few differnt ways to rig the board so they will free slide on your line if you choose. Again I know you are more thinking of Copper but dont rule the smaller boards out for browns and cores either! Matt -Jakey Baby-

I also heard that that the Lake was great the morning after Sandy! I wish i could get just 1 Can someday! Great Job
