  9. well lets be honest i always want to go fishing so all she has to do is ask to go and the boat magically gets hooked up to the truck lol
  10. being a guy who use to fish this derby i have no problem with people using live bait simply because everyone can use it. If you or anyone feels that live bait is unfair then you can just change your approach to use live bait. Its only unfair if that style of fishing isnt open to everyone.
  11. A couple pics of the bigger steelie from sunday
  12. got home from work Friday afternoon and ripped the carb out of my kicker motor to give it another major cleaning cause Ive been having problems with it holding speed. i got it put back together hooked the boat up to the truck for Saturday morning. Saturday i launched solo around 630 to mainly see if the motor was fixed or not. About 30 mins into the troll it was clear that my motor still wasnt holding speed. After talking to my brother on the phone i decided it was time to rebuild the carb. So thats what i did for the morning into the afternoon till about 3pm. My gf got home around 4 and she wanted to go fishing so we launched the boat about 5. We headed out to 60 ft set out lines and started trolling. The kicker motor was a lot better but still not perfect so i started adjusting the throttle cable and quickly realized it was majorly loose where it goes into the motor. Once i got that tight all was well and we were finally trolling properly again! We found a small break in about 100 ft of water and worked that for about an hour taking a decent 25 inch steelie for the dinner table. We dropped something heavy on the wire rod (probably a laker) while we were fighting the steelie. We saw the sky getting dark so we pulled rods and headed in around 7. Sunday morning my gf and I launched the boat at 6 and headed out to 50 ft where the screens have been decent. We worked from 50 to 70 ft for 3 hours without moving a single rod. I pointed her north and we took 2 skippys off slider between 90 and 100 ft both on the same warrior spoon. We started working 90 to 100 ft but when we crossed over to 100 ft I noticed that down 60 ft the temp dropped 2 degrees. I know it wasnt a big break but was better than anything else i was seeing so we worked it and were rewarded with a nice 9 or 10 lb steelie. ended the day with 3 skippys and 2 steelhead. Monday morning I got a late start didnt launch til 930. I headed out to the same area that we took the steelies in the day before but never got into anything to speak of. I caught 3 or 4 skippys and thats it. I thought about going out for lakers but really wanted silver fish instead so i never went out there. I work from 70 to 110 ft til around 1pm when the lake really started to kick up. Best spoons for me were michigan stinger uv pink tuxedo and warrior natural born slayer. 7 color leadcore and slider on 60 ft rigger took 90% of my fish this weekend
  13. I agree he needs to shut everything down and sort his orders out. I did what Yankee said and sent him a invoice for the money I spent last October. Customer service is everything in small business! I will never order anything from him again.

  18. haha it's only been 3yrs that we have been living together. I can't get it to hold speed even when I'm not turning. It will either speed up or slow down when I'm going straight and not touching nothing. I have a couple things to check that have been mentioned to me so I will be doing it today and hopefully find the problem before I loose 3 days of fishing this weekend
