Awesome 🇺🇲 I've got to try this seeing all the jigging posts

Thinking a good quality spro split rings and  quality hooks from Addya is going to be my answer. 

We have had multiple split rings and Hook failures this season it's a shame! $10 for a spoon and junk terminal ends. Upgrading split rings and hooks this weeks project

Them's some big kings...they must be moving in, since the Sandy Shootout on Saturday was won with just over 80 lbs for four fish. Great turnout this year - fifty boats fished the tournament. You guys have been on fire this year. You didn't fish get in though? Or did you register under a different name? Anyway, nice fish.

 

And that last picture is great. I don't know if he's happy or letting out a primal scream lol.

Appreciate the kind words 🙏 yesterday evening was great boys were exhausted. I would have liked to fish the tournaments this year but work family life more important. It's been a great season enjoying with Friends and Family 🇺🇲

Just wondered how long of a lead are you running on your spoons on your 70/80 riggers?

I fished Sunday morning/early afternoon (10am - 2pm) out of Braddock Bay in that 80-110 ft range and marked tons of fish but could only manage one 14 pound king.

Was running about 15ft leads on my spoons off of the riggers.

And to get a decent down speed (2.5-2.8) we had to troll east/northeast, not west or northwest.  To get a down speed of 2.5-2.8 trolling west or northwest we had to crank the surface speed up close to 4 knots!

What directions were you trolling?  Or what direction was best for you?

Thanks!

Mr Kato

We worked west to the pump house and back east to the mouth had great temp and speed both directions I always troll on the faster side 2.7-2.8 at the ball was what they liked. I haven't changed my leads off the ball much 24-25ft. Often I've been stacking off the probe rigger 10ft above the probe and 15ft off the rigger cable seems to be working well. Spoon bite for me has been very good in the evenings early mornings and meat has shined later mornings early evenings. Fish the marks mix up the spread with uv and glow and let the fish tell you want they prefer. Hope this helps good luck 🇺🇲

Wife and I cruised out to 80 fow and started setting the 4 rod spread around 5pm working out to 100 fow 95 seemed to be best. Everything worked spoons on riggers 70 to 80  meat on divers out 175 to 185  pulled rods around 830pm 10 for 15 

Very good awesome battles!🇺🇲

By the photo it looks like HDPE.  its durable but will warp.  Make some support legs and you shouldn't have a problem.  

I'm not a plastics guy but I was told it was made with UV white  poly plastic. If it holds up I might have a few more made just experimenting see what works.

Just a warning about your cutting board, it will warp with only one mount.  I have been making these boards for a couple of months and if they have a single mount, they will warp bad.  We use 3/4 and it still is an issue.  DOuble mounts are a must! 

Appreciate the advice will keep a eye on it. Not sure what grade of material was used this board was made by a friend from Michigan who deals with industrial plastics for only being 1/2" it seems very strong and durable but I guess time will tell.

Great job, Shawn got a stud!

Good and healthy 👍

Best feeling introducing new people to our great fishery. Well done! 🇺🇲

Left Launch and started setting rods around 445pm. Worked 90 to 150 fow 95 to 130 most productive 25+ bites everyone left with more than enough fillets (modified fillet table worked great!). Riggers 75 to 100 divers 225 to 235. 5 rod spread Spoons took majority of bites meat did well on the divers. Another great evening of smiles and memories on Lake O 🇺🇲

Left the mouth around 6am and started setting lines on a NW troll and was greeted with non stop action for the first hour. 5 rod spread(spoons and meat)covering 80 to 200 fow from mouth of creek to pump house. Riggers 50 to 65 divers 120 to 175. 6am to 11:00am 25 bites  good class of fish and fun had by all 🇺🇲

Paper graphs, watching the Compass like a hawk while keeping a eye on the angle of the riggers cables to adjust speed lol how far we have come. 

Very good way to go!

Loaded up the Fishmaster with kids first time fisherman 5 rods spoons and meat rigs. Set up in 80 fow straight out the mouth and worked out and a touch west to the pump house turnaround at 200 fow and back to 80. 35 bites total 15 came to the net. Riggers 60 to 80 divers out 190 to 200.  Special evening for me watching my boys reeling in Salmon using my grandfather's custom made rigger rods from back in the day Brushcut Charter's. 🇺🇲

Heading out this evening with my boys and some first time fisherman give it a go 🇺🇲

Would like to give this a go what spoons and presentation do you use for this looks like a riot!
