Watermelon was great last year mid day
-
I know what mine was . -
DEC said that upwards of 47 % of kings were Nat Reproduction . That is nearly half , no small number . With all the cuts and concentrating the pen sights it remains to be seen what will happen . But to get back to the spring king question , there are a lot of factors that will influence it . Water temp and more importantly color. . Wind direction to name a few . There are years we have had terrible spring kings but great summer fishing. So wait and see . -
Low cost counter reels for trolling
HB2 replied to trickworm33's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I have one Magda I use as my slide diver rod . It works fine . $55 I also have a few Diawa Accudepths which are a little more, $ 90 I also have a connector which I feel is a nice reel also . $90 TDR or Eagle claw are nice rods for the money . There are nice combos you can get for less than 100$ on sale . There are guys on here that seem to need the best of everything to catch these fish . I'm here to tell you you don't. . Better off buying the cheap out fits and spending the saved money on a temp / speed probe which will get you way hook ups than the better rods / reels . Once the rod is in the release or behind the dipsy , the fish won't care what's in the rod holder . -
I have 2 slide divers , both on 65 # braid . My setup is , braid to 50 ft of 30# mono , small bead to stop the diver , barrel swivel , 5 ft of 15 # , swivel and almost always a spoon . I only put one out ,usually, when I have to, and things are slow . But it has saved the day countless times for me . And skittish kings seem to like it .

This is how I do it . Pull the hook out with my pliers and hold it between my boots till it swims , away . Works every time . -
How about a 4 ft level and a speed square I'm old school

12# cannon balls will do everything you want them to .

I have a 1986 2160 and it has a kill switch so I would think yours has one also It is forward of the throttle / shift cable on mine above the radio box . Could be the ignition switch itself . I know i have had to clean all my fuses as they have some corrosion on them and had to replace a few of the dash switches for lights and such for same reason. So check all connections first . Clean and tight are Buzz words for electrical .

Occasional spring kings
HB2 replied to troutman10's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Until the fleas,showed up in the lake , all we ran was 12 to 15# mono year round . And the fish were bigger back then . Those rigs are fine . -
I also have used diving plugs like Sooonbill rebels , Lindy shadlings , and Rapala tail dancers on big boards . They work well to get down to the 20 to 30 ft depths . Got many nice kings on them till Memorial day , and the lake stratifies and Thermocline sets up . Mid morning on is when they seem to work best . -
I have used them . They are fine . Decent price .

I had very good luck with Pro Troll 8 " flashers this,past year . Very speed,forgiving . I use 11" hotspots 8" pro trolls Spin Drs And most of my hits,by far come on White of some sort . By far . -
He walked out before I did that day . I never thought to ask him .

Was the guy from Beckly WV named Jeff ? Great news I'm happy for you We have a great site here

Very happy with Buffalos performance this year Was surprised how they started season out with the crazy passing game . It was all new and they did well with it but hit a few speed bumps through the year . Josh grew a lot this year with his poise but lost it at the end as his weapons were not open as KC defense took that away and he had hard time adapting . A few upgrades at certain positions and who knows , but they are close . Sure is nice being relevant again and in the conversation . There is Hope . And that's a good thing .

Those spring / summer time teen king fillets sure look and taste good . I'm sure someone out there sees dollar signs if they had an outlet . Heck, the Russians were hauling out half dead kings by the truck loads . So why not lake caught ?

About 12 years back there was a ton of ice cold water on west end LOC . We fished Johnson's creek and had some lest say OK water out to 30 ft then clear cold black . We spent the days we fished from 10 to 30 ft . Our setup was J 13 and 5 1/2" jointed raps and rebels 75 to 125 ft back on both big boards and riggers set 10 ft off bottom. We did well on some nice kings. One morning I remember we boated 6 . We got 2 or 3 each day as I remember . Up until the NK / Pirates came on scene , all we used were sticks untill the Thermocline set up . It's a good way to fish .
