Wow that man isn't a junkie, he's a Freak!!! But he knows his weather sites.... Let your freak Flag Fly!!!!

I have the NOAA bouy app on my Iphone that logs right into them and in seconds I have a full report...I use it every weekend we go to Lake Michigan.

I think I've got a green Jean Nailer, but I'll look, I don't think I had them back far enough to begin with either...But it always has helped me to hang one back there a long ways, all alone..I'm going to keep on trying,and work it all out, hang with a routine and start changing them up if there's not Action...

Can anyone tell me, is there anyway you can tell which way the fish are swimming on the fish finder in order to stay on top of the fish....????? Using a Raymarine C 120 chart plotter fish finder, let me know if anyone can help...

We got a late start out, hit the big water at sunset, set up in 135FOW, lots of Fish No Hits though, went about an hour seeing lots of fish, decided to send a Green Glow J Plug back 200 feet on a dispey... it worked brought 1 monster female King in, about 20 pounds took 45 minutes of struggling with this fish but I got her in the Death Box,and I was done for the night....1 for 1, didn't get skunked, and happy about that...everyone was seeing a lot of fish, but not much biting... don't know why... it was a night fish.... wan to get out in the morning next weekend...

Wow, this is some great information Guys and Tim I love the ART work, I'm sure that's what mah dipseys look like in the water as well, but I don't have WALKER deeper divers, but I will very soon.......I have all Luhr Jensens I believe.

I know there's different settings on the dipsy's But When I put the setting on 3 it doesn't go out any further than putting it on setting 1, my question is how do I make low divers and High divers, is my rods to close, they are on the same Dual Rod Holder.. I truely don't get it...they really don't go out side of the boat, mine on 3 go right behind the boat....What's the deal??? I need some good advice.. Boltman

I fish with my wife, who doesn't like anything over 3 foot waves, anything bigger and she's on the Dock, can't blame her though...as for help the salmon population, I've seen seagulls catch more fish than we have ever......I'm hoping it will get better for us, meaning trolling on both engines and having better luck at catch, not just cleaning the fishing gear....

Yes it was worth it, it will be better when I can have the wife bring one or many in...But it felt so good to feel that fish tug at that line.

Ok Here's a pic finally uploaded to the bucket,,, It's not much but after 2 years of not being able to fish, it's everything... it's like catching a monster...

We Finally we able to Fish in the New Boat, Trolling valves are in, only 1 works for now, having electronic difficulties...Went out to early in the evening at 6 pm, rode some large waves and finally set up in 165FOW...Nothing we trolled for about 2 hours north and south, we were marking a few but nothing until 125 FOW, About 9 pm the screen lite up and well We went 1 for 3, two nice kings, one got away went it got hit by the net....oopps One hit hard and tore apart the swivel, lost a nice spoon....We landed a nice king, don't know how big though it was just a nice FISH....I'll add a pic as soon as I can get photobucket to load in this sloooooooow laptop...

Steve, I will be fishing out of White Hall Soon, trolling valves are being installed this week, so Can you please save me some feesh in them ther Waters....You seem to be catching them all.....So save me a king and a couple of steelies.. Nice Job on the crushing of the Kings..

I would too, it's her that actually Let's you go fishing isn't it.????? hahahaha Wives are wonderful things....Mine is very special to me..

Wow, I'm blown away with this Mans generosity....Last Saturday he had three large bags of fish waiting for us in White Hall...knowing our boat isn't fish ready yet...yet..yet..OMG it's killing me, this man shared some FEESH with me and my family....Ken we greatly appreciate your generosity!!!!Thank you again for the Salmon and steelies... Boltman Robert Chapman and Family!!!!!:thumb::thumb:

I Love the Magma grill right on the boat, Now that's eaten'm fresh..... Catch Clean cook all while never taking them off the Rod.....hahahahah The Big Bobber is Looking awesome...I've seen you in Ludville and you've tried to pass me while I was pulling Ambiance...., it's looking great, But I Love the grill, I'll bet the Kings are scared to death when they see that grill..

What up is this Coyote spoon, I nned just a few more lures, post a pic or I'll have to look it up online... google the lure baby....

No doubt about the time off...sounds mushy but i'd have to talk with the Wife about it as well......I'm seriuosly hoping to catch the mid summer bite and Fall bite as well,,,,

Yes the rest of the Boat is Rigged, I don't have a flat screen and I'm going to be nervous enough with Autopilot on and being down in the cockpit (patio) fishing while this boat is moving with nobody driving it...But that said... I have spoke the the programming engineer who is writing the Eprom for the Boats computers that tell it to let the transmission plates to slip...They didn't have a Eprom Burner.... Oh my God I told him I'd buy the damn thing and send it down to Lexington KY For him to use, Imagine a company like BoschRexroth, telling me they didn't have a Eprom Burner....I'm going to hurt someone I swear.... do you know how frustrating it is to see these coolers being full coming back to the marina and I can't even get this Baheamith to slow down enough to catch a fish....Maybe some of you guys do know I don't know, all I know is it's very frustrating, the wife wants me to go out and get an old 24 footer to fish with instead of the yacht The Big Jons are installed, the Dipsey holders are set and ready to go, and Probe is installed and working well and the Fishfinder is marking a lot of Fish, I just can't slow down to catch them.....What is a man to do, if anyone has a good day Fishing out near Montague and want to share some Fish, let me know...

I'm running 6 knots with 1 engine that's 7.5 mph I don't believe they will slow this boat down to 2.3 mph , but I could be wrong!

josh you are correct in you line thinking, slippage is in the trans and control by the computer, down to 100 % slippage. And it might help to have bags, but I don't want to rip cleats out either...700hp diesels...yup it's a lotta Power in them ther engines....So We're still waiting for the chips, for the puters....Damn the bad luck!!!!

I'm so pissed, I'm waiting for Computer Chips out of Germany to slow my boat down, until then I'll be sitting and No Fishing....Damn it's going to be a long summer again with No Fishing.

Ok Installed and working, but does anyone know these fishfinders, I need help knowing whats on the screen, What are the items sticking up from the bottom? I know there's debris in the water, but does this thing catch weeds? I see like columns sticking up from the bottom...? And I cannot find anything ONLINE what helps you identify what these images are??? Any Pros on here that can help me out??? Boltman

I know mine told me to buy the C120 and only because the C140 wouldn't fit the Helm properely....... Go figure and you can run videos off these too.

Come On Jake, I've installed 2 of them now and I just finished the install of one of them on my 480, it's so darn easy... you can do it!!!!!!!!!

Looks good guys, I love the west siders... its so nice to just go to the piers..
