    I always buy a few extra trays at the end of summer so I'm not scrambling to find it in the beginning of the next.

    Ugly stik!!

    I use the 8'3" ugly stik down rigger rod for salmon and trout. They work great off the riggers, flat lines, for short cores and short coppers (off big boards). I use the 9' for long coppers. Eagle claw Starfire 10 footers for diver rods. Although I may be upgrading those to the ugly stik 10 ft soon. It all depends on the type of rod you prefer. These are all light action rods with a lot of flex to protect light leaders just in case somebody "horses" on a fish a little too much.

    What are the the triple holders all the veteran captains use that spin around? Maybe super ski make them?

    I run the furthest bait off the board back 120, then the next 110 and then 100. Spoons 5 ft down on the riggers and 75 ft back. Put a mix of different color combos out to start. This is shoreline skinny water fishing 8-12 fow.

    Did you lose a spring? I've had a troll-a-matic for several years now. I lost a spring and called the company. They sent me a new one for free.

    Nope. Get some quality rod holders for divers. Tracks are the way to go!

    If the fleas get bad 30 lbs big game is useless!

    I like 30 lbs big game as a backer for lead cores. The Scotty releases I use don't hold well with braid. I tie in a section on my coppers. But with short cores...I usually run them back away from the boat. Sometimes another 50-100 ft back. If you use a bigger reel it's not an issue. I prefer a Daiwa sg57 with the extra space, fast retrieve, tourney drag and bigger opening for swivels to fit through.

    Had a late start and launched solo around 10:30. I knew from the forecast that the lake was going to be bumpy. So I left the big boards at home and decided to run 1 rigger and 2 rods straight back behind the boat in the prop wash. I almost always run an all stickbait program but I wanted to try an all spoon program for something different. Maybe try to target bigger fish? Ran the rigger 3 ft down with a purple clown stinger. And one of the flat lines had 1 color of lead core. The other I ran as a weight rod with a 1/2 ounce split shot pinched onto a tag end off a off shore release. Mix of various stingers, dreamweaver SS and a few others on the other 2 rods. Best was a live image smelt stinger with a white back and some glow tape. Copper spoons were good too. Lake was definitely bumpy the whole time out. Ended up 5-10. First fish was a steelhead that jumped 3 times and was gone. Also had a seagull swoop down and grab one of my spoons. Luckily the spoon only caught the feathers on a wing. He shook right off after I reeled him in. This happened as I was supposed to make the turn to avoid the ginna borders. Best depth was around 10 ft. Lots of color out to 17 fow. 42-44 surface temp. Not a bad day!!
