    Same here. I figured if they were charging admission they would at least have opened up the restrooms. Only the one by the boat launch is open.

    Yeah, instead of a fee collector in the booth there is a meter with a sign saying $8.00 per vehicle. I don't think that was there last Thursday and if it was I blew right by it and lucked out without getting a ticket

    If I remember correctly they stop charging at the gate after 4

    After debating whether or not planer boards would help my trolling efforts in the kayak to keep my lines from crossing I decided to build my own out of an $0.88 walmart cutting board and a broken aluminum arrow and this was the result. The pencil lead across the bottom needed to be added to keep the keel down. Worked great last week and is only 6" x4". We'll see how well it pulls deep diver's in the future but for small sticks I'm very happy with the set that cost me $14 for a set of 2.

    Thanks Seenyor! Pretty much look back at the posts on here and it'll give you an idea of what has been going on. It's just starting right now and most seem to be waiting for this weekend to get out for the first time. I saw a total of 3 boats out there on thursday working the 20'+ mudline

    42 and 43 in most spots but a small area was 45 where I got this one right in the middle of a very dark mud line in 6' of water. I thought it was snagged at first when my rod tip bent to the back of the kayak then saw the head shaking it so I paddle hard a few strokes to set the hook and grabbed the rod.

    Woohoo finally landed my first brown of the year and it was a beaut. Probably in the 12# range and dragged me around in my kayak for about 10 mins before I could get the net on it. Snapped a few blind pics of it one handed before letting it go, sorry this was the best pic I got. Had one other whack on the same lure but besides that no other action but had a nice mudline to follow thanks to a northeast wind.

    right in the park pond and try to get next to reeds coming out of the water

    for guys staying overnight you may want to pack a bullhead rod and some 'crawlers for some evening entertainment

    heading out there shortly hoping the 3rd time is a charm

    that maroon/ gold cleo is my go-to this time of year from the piers then I switch to silver with green or blue as the water clears up in may.

    Yep that's the one I was referring to and they still make them! I wasn't sure how they would stand up to waves since I fish a lot of big water. Might be fun to try salmon and steelhead fishing the rivers with it as well.

    Awesome feedback guys, maybe I won't have to go to a such an ultra-light option especially since I do most of my fishing in big water. I typically run my lures at least 100' back out of my kayak but with the boards can I run the leads a lot shorter especially for browns?
  16. greenhornet73
    ahhh yes I do remember hearing about that tip a few years ago with the rear swivel but wasn't trolling at the time and forgot about it. Thanks
  17. greenhornet73
    Oh so they may "flip" over from a wave? Do they stay on course after that or twist up the rig at all?
  18. greenhornet73
    JakeyBaby I don't recall using the pin on the rear release that is probably why we were always playing "go fetch" and having to retreat off our path. Thanks

    Henrybud, that is exactly the type of planer I am looking for and haven't seen these. I like the gator clip release so it should be able to hold a deep crank without a false release and it stays on the line without resistance while fighting the fish. I might even try it for river bank fishing for salmon and steelhead. Thanks for posting.

    I run braid for the main line with a mono leader. I have used the Offshore boards off a boat and they worked great but would release off the line completely at times with a big fish and would have to go back to track it down after bringing in the fish. Keep in mind I am fishing out of a kayak and a 1 man operation so the simpler the rig the better. Thanks

    Does anyone have any experience with inline planer boards such as the Luhr Jensen side planer or the SideWinder? I would like to use one for trolling 2 lines out of my kayak and think it will help with keeping the lines from crossing but I heard one review stating the sidewinder trips too easily but I like the streamlined shape and simplicity of its design? Any info on these would be very helpful.

    I troll out of my kayak and love when I have to jackknife the 'yak into 2' of water practically on shore to dodge a planer board. This is why I start brown fishing while there is still ice covering the ramps...."catching" is few and far between but makes for a more pleasurable fishing experience.

    Awesome boat, don't worry it's a Whaler it can take it

    Holy cow I could make a killing this year if I sold them. My spot hasn't warmed up yet but in a couple weeks I'm gonna have to try to find a buyer
