    I wonder how stripers taste. They might not fight as hard as a king but hey they would be better than Atlantics.

    I didn't have any expectations fir this year because of 2012. I didn't get to fish out of any of the hot ports so my catch rates were normal. But last year wasn't very good. Might have to sell the Islander to someone that would use it on Saginaw Bay for walleye. Because I could care less about catching lakers. And when I went out last week all we could catch was lakers. From a 3 color leadcore all the way down to 90 all over 120' of water. Every rod had a hit in a 3 hr period.

    Wish I could find some alewives to net so I didn't have to buy herring. Some days tbe herring is all they want and others it won't even get hit. And I bet alewives are more consistent since they are more of a natural prey species.

    Put some mag spoons in the mix.

    22' Starcraft Islander. 205hp 4 barrel carb. 3-5 hr fishing trip around 5-10 gallons of gas. But that is making a 20 min run though a no wake zone(4-5mph) and then only going out about a mile or 2

    Is salmon fishing that bad this year that the only reports are from the same few ports every week?
  7. slickwater
    But wouldn't the more backing you let out make the leadcore go deeper. But you use a mono leader right? Same thing.

    Thanks. I only run one prode anyway.

    How did you fix the coated cable? I don't know why mine is wearing off. I'm using big jon riggers.

    I'll get a photo of how my depth raider probe is set up when I get in my boat again.

    I'm going to put a 3 color and a 5 color in the boat just in case. I already have a 10 color that is the ready core with the dacron backing. The 3&5 color leadcores I was thinking of putting them on 2 of my rigger rods that have 17# mono. But am I asking for break offs? I will probably only use the 3 color for Atlantics with a possible king getting on there. And I was thinking of going with a 12# leader on the 3 color for the Atlantics and a 17# leader for the 5 color. Also with the 3&5 colors how much backing behind the board do I let out? I usually only let out about 30' with the 10 colors (is that alright to).

    Thanks everyone.

    So would the 36" ones work from amish outfitters. Or are there a cheaper company that would work just as well.

    The bags are 27".
  15. slickwater
    The end of the bags are probably 2-4ft from the transom. Not sure. I don't remember. I don't use them very often salmon fishing. I'll check to see what size they are and exactly where the bag of the bag is.

    Sorry guys my mechanic misunderstood what I asked him.
  17. slickwater
    Engine is in perfect working condition. Purrs like a kitten.

    The boat has the 205 4.3L 4 barrel carb. My boat mechanic says not to put anymore stress on engine that it might ruin the coupler in the drive and have to have the drive taken off and checked before I fish again.Not sure what bags I have they came with the boat. How do I get the right measurement on tbe bags?
  19. slickwater
    I have a 221 Starcraft Islander and I would like to use it for walleye but using the 2 trolling bags I already have I can only get the speed down to 1.6mph. I would like to get it down to at least 1.1mph for trolling crawler harnesses. Putting a kicker on is not an option because I would like to use the boat on the 30th. Any ideas. I don't want to stress the engine to much. Not sure if one or two more bags would help and not stress the engine.

    The way of the lake is experience with trial and error. And helpful tips. Just watch the reports of what people are catching where, on what, what water depth and how far down will give you a place to start. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G730A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

    Yes run the dipsies so the rods are pointing to tge side of the boat. You should be able to find a fellow fishing where you live and have him show you what needs to be done. This site will help but in person advice is always better. If I lived closer I would help you out more. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G730A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app

    Well you need a really tough rod holder for the dipsy rods. That can adjusted so the rod is parallel to the water. I run 10ft dipsy rods. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G730A using Great Lakes Fisherman mobile app
