    I like a 50 ft leader for my copper and lead setups. You have some room on there to retie a few times. For divers I reel the diver to the rod tip. Tie on the leader and then run it down the rod and around the reel and back up to the rod tip and tie on a swivel

    They are scattered. A lot of boats inshore yesterday. I didn't have a chance to talk to anyone to see if anyone found some. Water was good inside but we didn't try inside

    We were catching browns off the surface over 50 fow yesterday

    Won't be a problem mid may. They start showing up when the top water temp is about 70 degrees

    Braid works great until the fleas show up and stick to it so bad that you won't be able to reel it in

    I think you are both right. There was some decent numbers around until we had all that east wind and the water cleared up. I have been getting out since March 9th and have put 100 browns or more in the boat and not one under 5 or 6 pounds. Something is up
  7. shawn393
    Agreed. Where are the small browns. We haven't caught one under 6 pounds.

    Nice Atlantic. That king looks like he hasn't eaten in a while. Did you see any bait moving in?

    I am a big fan of the Daiwa great lakes rods. I have a couple of the 8' 6 downrigger and I think the action is perfect for riggers. I have a bunch of the other actions and like them all

    Depends on your transducer. Fish hawk runs at 70 kHz. If you are running 83khz sonar then you can get some interference if they are close together

    Awesome. Looks like some happy clients

    Glad to see the bait moving in. Kings will be behind them

    Trolling only boat? If so I would go with a airmar. Multi species boat- i have been happy with my Lowrance all in one tucer

    Yes it is still. I went out that way and checked the middle of the channel on the way in and that was about 1.5 feet deep
  16. shawn393
    Good. It was a hassle loading by myself without the docks
  17. shawn393
    It is bad. I hope it comes up a lot by the time I am ready to put my big boat in

    Hit up the lake with my kid to find the fish scattered. We worked hard for 10 or 11 bites. Lake Temps between 36 and 37°. Our best producer was a super slim sea sick wadler in the overcast conditions. FYI the channel out of the creek is at 2 feet deep max

    FYI the channel at the mouth of the creek is 2 ft. deep at the most

    Thank you. I was expecting to see you guys out there
  21. shawn393
    Thanks. Yes it got rough out there
  22. shawn393
    Thanks. Yes the kids love going.

    Awesome weights. I have been running them for years and they still look good

    We launched at 8 a.m. and went searching. Had to dodge a lot of floating ice. Found a good stretch of warmer water right as the sun popped out of the clouds and it was game on. Everything we put out got bit but a uv mixed veggie stinger took the most hits by far. Best stick bait was a emerald shiner long shallow bay rat . Wind picked up and we got out of there. We will be out again soon.

    That is awesome. Congratulations
