Wow the moonshine shiver lure looks awesome, with a much wider color selection. I do use the Rapela jigging lures, but there are 2 different ones, there is the jigging rap, generally used through ice, these don't have as big of a wing span like the one used in the open water which is called the Snap rap, they have much broader wing span so the flutter a lot better than the jigging rap. The snap rap is what I use and have moderate or better success with the snap rap over the jigging rap.

Yea buddy, got your game on this trip!! Tight lines Hook&Cook

Those are some big ombré Walters Kevin. Great job, and take care!!

Prof T. that's one of the main reasons I never fish the 1st day of eye season, those other numb heads that fire up and blast through the crowd, then there's the guys that think they own the lake and your supposed to move over, in your case, the loss of a lure. There goes $10.00 but he doesn't care!! I remember when I had smaller boats those guys with there bigger boat used to lean on us little guys all the time. Not this year!!

That's super Kevin, congrats on the eyes!! Still can't get a solid pattern going yet. Once the females put the feed bag on, then maybe? Till then tight lines my friend!!!

Yea buddy, that's a hell of nice box of eyes. Got your game on there Capt.

Yea that sounds better, maybe with the warm front coming, that might kick them up a little also. Thanks for the report!!

Please excuse my dumb ass, but what is a cutlass bearing, thanks for any insight on this matter?

Nice job Freeman77, you got give credit where credit is do!! The twister tails did the job again. Congrats to you!!. The last 3 years we went to Canada all I took was a box of 1/16-1/4OZ orange jig heads and a flat of crawlers. In the end we all did the same,

Hey Kevin good to hear from ya, wasn't your best trip but I'm sure you'll have those pike dialed in like your eye program on SLR. Tight lines to you. Pap!!

Congrats guys on your catch, those are some brutes for sure, do you C&R or do keep some? If so how do You prepare them? Tried them but notta so good, others say there're great. Love the light set up, definatly can see what your doing back there!! Nice job!! Go get them men!!

I was going to mention list your boat on here, to many bad apples on CR. She's a beauty that's for sure, is it a walk around also? it appears so. A lot of boat there for the money!! Good luck with your sale and your new business!!!

Just keep everything far enough front that nothing gets to the rear of the boat and possibly a rope in the prop. Other than that Chase is spot on with the rest. Good luck, hope they get down in speed!! OH one other plus with bags is when it's rough out there the bags act like an anker and keep the boat more stabil in the waves. I now run a kicker but at times I miss the bags. Oh well can't have everything.

Thanks Minion, I just cleaned my back window a put your sticker on, looks great!! I watched a few vids. And tied up 2 flies and they look Awesome, I had to order more hooks, the type you suggested, the tackle shops around here don't carry the big heavy duty type, more less bass and trout supplies but they could get them, I could of went to Cabela's but it's a hour ride and they don't always have everything. Matter of fact I told the manager that I've been here 3 F'n times for Spro swiveles, and they didn't have the sizes I wanted, there's the spot for them and I bought them here, what's going on? He told me that they only carry 30% of what's in the catalog, new policy he said, so I'll just continue to use our local bait & tackle shop.

That's great Sean, I never caught one the big, but they can be very useful. Great job, don't ever give up!! PAP?

Harvey made my torps. And they track awesome with minimum blow back very pleased!! Painted them flat black. Keep up the excellent work Harvey!!

Nice ride there chief!! Love the fully In closed wheel house.
