  1. welcome to GLF Michael. We used to do the WD-40 thing and we haven't for some time, I guess I was always a bit skeptic about it.
  2. Thanks for saying hello Nick, and nice job on the lake!
  3. I seen it as well, good stuff Matt!
  4. Nice job Russ, you sure have been killing them all year on the spinnies and aqua flies.
  5. Welcome to GLF Duke. The fishing was pretty tough last weekend in Sturgeon Bay, and I have not heard anything this week yet. Good luck this weekend, I will be there as well.
  6. Welcome Sam. You could give Algoma or Kewaunee a shot. I fish a little farther North in Sturgeon Bay and I have not heard how the pier fishing has been, hopefully someone else will have some more info for you.
  7. Sorry to hear about the loss, not good! At least you were able to get rid of the skunk.
  8. Thanks for the video Jim, I bet she had a blast cranking on the at king!
  9. I like to tie an albright knot and then do a haywire twist with the tag end of the copper. The haywire really helps get the knot started going through the guides. I would also suggest adding a piece of mono to attach your boards to like Eric suggested. Another thing that will help is to keep your rod tip lower when you get to the splice, and it will slide through easier.
  10. It sounds to me like you need to shorten your stretch on your FF combos. We run four riggers and I usually have two FF combos on, but when the fly bit is hot I will run three. If I am running multiple FF combos I will use shorter leads and keep them at least 10' apart vertically. If you are fishing in rough conditions or there is a lot of current you may only be able to run two riggers to keep them from getting tangled.
  11. Here is another good site for information. http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/
  12. What are you using for backing on your long lines. Since I started putting mono splices between my core and braid backing I have much less slipping from the boards.
  13. You can either clip your board right after the lead or let out some extra line and then clip it on. Letting out extra line will allow the lead to achieve a little more depth than clipping on right after the lead. I prefer to clip on right after the lead though because it is easier to check you line for damage since you always know where your board was attached and when you do have to retie you just have to clip off a few feet at a time.
