Exactly drlfc, how much would it cost to go to Walmart and buy the battery operated clamp on ones, and like Chas stated I run in the dark the same way except I have driving lights forward, lights shining on my boards, that have the DOT. reflecting tape on both sides. I have mine wired that I can turn of whichever set I want. I only have run in the dark on our local lake for stripers and eyes, but maybe early dawn come eye season on Lake'O.

That is AWESOME Fleet, I watched a lot shows on the fishing channel, but never saw them that close up. You are definitely blessed to have a brother that shares the same passion for fishing. Congrats on your trip that would be a chance of a lifetime for others. How did those saltwater Kings and coho's differ from LakeO fish in taste. Safe trip back. Nice pics. also. PAP

Im going to be the Devils advocate. For us guys that go by the laws, to protect ourselves from goons that slap a 9.9 motor on a smaller aluminum boat and blast out in the darkness of night with only a lighter to fire up what ever they are smoking, now WE need to invest in military night vision, I have a generation 2 telescope on my yote rifle when I bought this scope it was nearly a grand, my father in law paid for half as a gift. Now we need to get a radar outfit, this is ridiculous!! Please don't start a pissing match Im just saying, the robber gets away with it because the cops contaminated the evidence. Kind of like insurance to protect yourself from the ones who don't have anything. WTF. Wrong with this picture!!!!

To bad this unit isn't a long shaft, darn it anyway, great deal for someone!!! Wish you well on your sale.

Kevin that one buck is a nice shooter, soon you will be able to have a native Indian style surf & turf. That's what it's all about!! Congrats and good luck on your hunts. Take advantage of the weather towards the middle of the week!!! PAP

In the middle of August we were out in 70ft of water off the north shore of Galloo Island we were fishing good smallie waters hoping for a eye or two, we did ok so back to the fillet table with our walleyes (we got two) the stomachs of both eyes were packed with gobies, I couldn't believe they even took a Bomber long A, riggers were parked at 60 and 50, the smallies hit the 50 rigger and the eyes hit the 60 rigger, even the smallies had gobies in them. One thing I noticed was the gobies in the eyes were bigger than the gobies in the bass. The eye gobies were like 4-5" and the bass maybe 2 -3"max. The theory of the gobies being shallow dwellers is a crock of chit!!, I really hope that the sought after fish eat gobies and maybe get the numbers down, but I doubt this will happen. I watched a show on the fishing channel called Invaisive Species and they claim there are 5 gobies for every 3ft square of the lake bottom. That's mucho gobies in the lake!!!

About 5-6years ago my uncle and I were trolling at night on our local lake at night with rods out spot light on the rocket launcher shinning on the poles light shinning down in the back when my uncle says that I should stay left there is a log ahead of us, as we got almost on top of this guy he yells HEY What The &$@? Can't you see?? I said how am I supposed to see you where hell are you lights, he yells I DONT NEED FN lights, I'm not in a boat. Where he is, it's a long point that sticks out about 75 yards from shore and he is waist deep in the water. I told him you either need a lantern on shore or a light on your hat, well he started mouthing off to I told Dave reel the rods in and we fired up and left the jackass there, maybe someone else will drive over him then he'll read the book. Hopefully he gets some form of lights for his own safety!! We are gearing up to troll nights so see what happens once the water temp comes down.

Yea Buddy!!! That's a nice size Bullwinkle, that's some gooood eating there. Congrats on your hunt!!

Way to go Les, nothing like going on vacation, and do the things you love to do, I hope you are enjoying yourself. My grandparents lived in Clearwater on the gulf side. I remember my grandfather and his buddy used to take me for sea trout, that was cool at least they look a trout, the rest of the ocean fish just look weird to me. Well soak up some rays and catch a bunch of those Reds there pretty good eating. Relax & Enjoy. PAP.

Thanks!! PAP

I'm happy to hear that others agree, let's get this post to the top one more time. Thanks to all that helped to make this our first steppingstone!!!

Excellent job Capt Gene, always a pleasure to read your posts. Impressive haul of eyes, just proves they are there!!! We have alway had some luck around Galloo and what I call bird $hit island. Might have to sharpen my pencil as I been out of the seen for last 3 years.

Very nice of you to do. Help out our fellow fisherman/ladies. It's a win win situation for both the fisherman and help out a guy who's given his heart and sole to make walleye fishing a different face as like helping others get their feet wet, at least give a heads up. This sport used to be so tight lipped and get lost kid, philosophy! I feel that Justin,(this is my take on the man) just wants everyone to be able to catch a walleye. Once you get your feet wet in this very time consuming sport fish, the more YOU put into it the more YOU will be rewarded. I feel this year this topic has opened up a great deal from the older generation ever would have let out. With our tight nit group of guys on here willing to share info and not be asked to be spoon fed, let some of the more advanced anglers feel as if they could contribute their knowledge and not be pushed out of their favorite path on the lake / River. It takes all of us working together to achieve each other's respect. Thanks to the fine tuned walleye fisherman on this site, and thanks to all that did not spot burn the hands that feed you, We had a good year with the info guys and the others who respected their territory!!! You will get more bee's with honey than with vinegar. That much I can promise you 100%!!! Tight lines to all. Let all our first sight of color from the deep be a dark green with glowing white eyes!!!

I tell YA, if only I would have been more patient, the deals that are on this site are fantastic, more boat with 10X what I got. Not mention a turn key and go fishing boat!! Nice ride at a good price, best of luck with the sale of your boat.

Congrats to your day!!! Yes Justin is a wealth of info, as he eats, sleeps and breaths fishing, I'm also glad to hear you had a good time and you will continue to use his services, that sends a good message out about his services as well!!!!

Hey you guys kick a$$, just love to read your posts and see pics of mouth watering eyes!!! I'm still unsure which is more spirited by the moon you guys or the fish, (LOL) which ever it is congrats to the both of YA!!! Keep at it fella's!!! C U in the spring. PAP.
