Welcome aboard Rick! Do you have a website? Do you have any pictures of some of your other work? Upload them to the gallery.

I was hard core into fishing bass tournaments. I use to fish tourneys in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Then I got to the point where I did not enjoy bass fishing unless I was in a tournament. I sold my bass boat 5 or 6 years ago, and stopped bass fishing completely. This year I started taking my sons fishing in the neighbors pond across the street. We usually catch a couple of bass each time we go there. Since I started bass fishing in the pond across the street, I am getting an itch to be on the deck of a bass boat flippin a jig-n-pig again. Time to give some of my old bass fishing buddies a call.

Nice job Terry!

Nice job Marty!

Nice job Andrew!

Notice The March of 2009 batch of wire was manufactured with 3% of the batch having fraying issues. This wire is on the 2 ¾" diameter spools. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers and will immediately replace those wire spools affected. Customers who purchased their wire through a retailer, please see the retailer if you believe you have fraying issues. Customers who purchased online, please send us an email.

Everyone needs to read the fine print on their charts. It would be nice if they specified which brand of superlines, and wire they used for their testing. Different superlines and wires have different diameters. The smaller diameter the line, the more depth you will achieve. 20lb Braid = less than 6lb mono 30lb Braid = 6lb mono The 30lb wire is probably their 19 strand wire(I like this wire) which I think is also smaller than 7 strand wire. Here is a usefull link on line diameters.

Blaine, Welcome to Great Lakes Fisherman. Like Nick said, SOG = GPS speed. Lots of good advice has already been posted. There are a couple of other things that will affect the speed of your troll. Once you start setting your gear in the water, the drag created by your gear in the water will slow your boat down a little. ie....downriggers, divers, lead core, etc, etc, etc. Another thing you can do is to leave the other engine in foreward/reverse(I forget which one it is. My boat trolls down slow enough, so I dont have to do it). The extra drag created by this will also help slow you down. Leadcore As a rule of thumb, you will get 4-5' of depth per color of lead. A full core will get down 40-50'. I believe this is at around 2.5mph(and I am not sure if this is speed at the ball or GPS speed). If you are going faster than that, it will not get down as deep. If you are staying in South Haven, give Clementines restaraunt a try. It is within walking distance(less than a mile) of the Municiple marina. I just checked the link for Clementines I posted. They have one in St. Joseph also. Sharpen your hooks! Even a brand new spoon or fly needs to have its hooks sharpend! Your landing percentage will be a lot better with sharp hooks. If you are going to put the time and effort into fishing for them, you might as well improve your odds of landing them. A couple of years ago on a fishing trip, we went 15 for 32. I sharpend the hooks before my next trip and went 16 for 18. How do you know if the hooks sharp? I test the points on my thumb nail. A dull hook will slide across your thumb nail without leaving a mark. I like to sharpen mine with a 3 angle sharpen job until the hook sticks to my thumb nail with a very slight pressure. At this point, I call them "Sticky" You should also put sliders on your rigger rods. This adds an extra bait to each line. Mike

Nice job Jim.

Nice job Kyle!

Where ramp did you use?

Nice job Jason! Any pics of the 21lber?

Nice job Jay!

Thanks Sean! Please be sure to include a photo of it mounted on your boat holding the net.

Hopefully the fishing is better this weekend in the WMFL for you.
