I use them mainly all season, lost one last week, but I keep on trying.

Good Job Matt. Hey does your family own the ICe cream Shop in Evart.???

I third this, We saw some Logs out 2 miles straight out from Ludington and I cannot tell you How many ballons we've pick up this year, ok I will 10 or more.... it's getting ridiculuos.

Heading there Saturday Afternoon for a night fish and sunday morning Fishing session, I'm hoping to listen to you all on the radio tell me where the fish are...Got no feesh finder yeah know.

Great Job Carey now get out on the big water more often...and have a great time.

amen on the Fishin, not catchin.... we do a lot of fishing and that's why we do it.

Thanks Todd, we'll be out there on Thursday Night, waking early Friday Morning....SAturday Morning and Maybe even Sunday Morning, but I want to take Mam to the casino in Manistee on Saturday night.. so Sunday looks to be sleepin in..

warm water isn't the word I'd use, Bath water is close to it, we were in Ludington last week and 10 feet down was 78* water, and swimming at the stick was like taking a bath in your clothes.... yeck.... thanks guys..

I want to add 2 boards to my spread to get another 2 poles in the water, question is Can I use these boards with monofilament line? I don't want to get into copper or braid, I'm trying to keep it reel and under control with the spending...Any and all advice is accepted and appreciated.

OMG we've lost two nets this year overboard.... first was my fault then the next was the wifes.... we simply didn't tie them off to the railing with our velcro tape....I've spent a lot this year...

I certainly wouldn't accuse anyone, but when it comes down to Brass Tax.. The PRO"S KNOW"S.... meaning they Know how to win and they know how to lose, and we ll know that it's the back fo the boat where MOST fish are lost... intentional or NOT....Makes you wonder, how they keep winning so many events.... yah know... but Hell it's just fishing.. not like it's Nascar or anything Hahahahahahahahahhaha Give me a break..

Well we went out on SAturday night, didn't get a thing had two hits' lost one spoon and called it a night after 3 hours of washing spoons, the only good thing....No one lese was marking any fish either. I'm starting to get very discouraged... and I know it's called Fishing not catching...heheh but Damn...

I did not know that Matt thanks for the tip we Love Fishing around 5 pm can't seem to get out of bed in the morning to fish... yah know...

We will be there, cause we're slipped in Harbor view, but we will not be fishing in the same congested area's that the other's will be in...... I'm not ready for tournement....

I'm going to get some planer boards because I cannot get my magnum Dispseys to go out far enough to run another, even on 3 they aren't going far enough out from the boat using my wire line rods. So I'm to get some boards, Please let me know whic one's work the best...

Went to Ludington for the fourth, No Fishing report to report.. it was very rough, and I didn't feel like playing Deadliest catch....It's just NOT that important.... Better Luck next week.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't seem to get my Wire Dispeys to go our very far even on 3 setting, they seem to run close to the riggers, which I have off the sides,Tell me how you guys are getting those dipseys out there to put another one in on 1.5?

Has anyone installed Auto stops on the riggers for Big Jon? I did and well I lost a weight last week, I must have crimped the cable sleeves too hard and cut the cable, last week while pulling up the rigger, the Autostop rubber stops got cuaght in the pulley and the rigger never stops pulling up , which snapped the cable right at one of the sleeves.. so anyone crimped without hurting the cable????

Great Job,and some nice looking Feesh dar....

No I need a massage therapist to work the kinks out of my back, I'll send some pics tonight, but does anyone know how to crimp on the sleeves for Auto stops without hurt the cable? I guess I must have cut trhough the cable on my crimp which I do not understand since I used Vise Grips so there'd be no sharp edges to cut it with...????? Let me know.

We got out on the water about 5:30 pm, st up in 130 FOW and headed North from Just south of the Stick....Had a rigger set, and was setting a dipsey at 110 feet back when it hit hard...30 minutes later it was in the boat, approx 23 pounds Didin't wirgh it our though... got the dipsey in the water again 60 feet back.. it HIT again.... I'm thinking Damn this Orangge Crush is on Fire... Landed that one another good size King and set the dipsey again, only for for it to get out 100 feet back and hit again... I'm thinking ok Can I get a break here.... meanwhile the rigger prot side is doing NOTHING....so I checke it... Found a Hitch hiker... King so I let him go it was only about 13 inches long... he was so Cute...the action was hot and the Wife was doing a great job Driving.... so yelled out pull the lines she's doing a 180 to get back into the the action, so I did, set the rigger in 85 FOW down 60 feet and in 5 minutes I was heading for that rigger, this fish spooled me in 30 seconds...or less, so I let him he ran out straight off the back , then headed for the boat, Got him to 50 feet left to go and he went under the boat from the side.... Damn that was fun, The wife killed the drives and let him go between the drives and out the back end..., I finally got him in the boat about 35 minutes later.... 7 for seven that day in less then 2 hours on the water, I was too tired and back was too sore... we went in for the night.... It was a great confidence biulder..

Thanks guys I think I'm going to put them oon my riggers and see what happens.

12 lb test line with lite weight poles, biult for bringing in the fish with a lot of fun.

I am running 4 poles Two wire line dipseys off the side and two pole on the riggers out the rear sides.... i have light lines but don't know where to run them, help me out guys.... where should I run the light lines on this spread...????
