Ah yes. That makes sense. TYVM.

WoW! Nice Terry! I might have to give that a try now.

Not that i am aware of at this moment, the manual is at my brother in laws house ill check it out but wich would be the right one to try and calibrate the speed/temp. probe or the sonar?

Im using 12lb. ball weights with the small fin and i get alot of blowback. Im gonna have to switch to a pancake or something else. Another thing is i use a cannon speed/temp. and it says what depth its at but there is quite a bit of a difference between what that says and what depth im marking it on my sonar screen. .

Great Report and Nice Job! I see im not the only one that had a hot 5 color core.

Ball speeds 2.2-2.7 have worked for me i dont think there is really one set speed that works the best overall,work with 2.0-3.0 and take it on a day to day basis on what the fish want. It doesnt hurt to to be going a certain speed inbetween 2.2-3.0 then slow down a little then speed back up either. With your dipsey rods everyone uses different rods and rod lenghts be it medium,medium heavy,heavy etc. try and watch yours and if it takes a fish try to make it have the same bend as when you caught that last fish for awhile and see if it pans out. I generally try and keep my surface speed around 2.7-3.0 and will slow down for a short bit then speed back up if things arent going and this will trigger strikes sometimes.

No funny remarks or comments on this one please.

I kno this might sound a little crazy but i use a little "mega strike" on my spoons sometimes. Its mainly a bass fishing scent i guess. I had a day where i put it on only one spoon and that spoon was the only one getting hits then put it on a few others and then they took off. Jus a little dab will do yah tho. I will also rub this stuff onto my hands before i start handling my lures.

What color crawler harnesses were you using? Just kidding. Nice Job. Ill trade you some salmon for some of them gills.

Fished from 3-9:30. Set lines in 80 fow straight out had the first fish on at 120 fow on a blue bubble spin doctor w/dreamweaver blue bubble fly set 2 150 back. Second Fish came in 143 fow going north 80 down on rigger 15 feet back on Custom Fishing Products white flasher with siggs rigg matching white fly. This fish got into 2 dipseys and made quite a mess i had to hand line it in. (Mike do you happen to know the name of the flasher and fly you gave me? Picture posted below and thanks.) Had a couple more fish on at 143 fow little north of the stacks but didnt get them into the boat. From there we went east to 130 fow and then south and really started getting into them and worked this area on north /south troll took 2 more fish on the white flasher fly combo down 80 one being about a 10 lb.laker and a king about 12lb. Took one on Michael Jackson Pro king Mag. and Fuzzy Bear green glo dolphin on 7 color core. Lost i dont how many on 5 color with Silver Streak Green Dolphin but it was hot, just having problems with gettin them in with the planer set to not release 2 were for sure steelhead. Lost about 3 on the blue bubble combo w/dipseys set 2 at 150 out. Didnt mark very many fish but they were there with 130 fow being the hot spot a little north had 3 on at one time. Heres one of the kings we got on the White Flasher Fly combo. I didnt use this in the tournament last sunday because im an idiot *kicking self*.

I woulda stopped to shoot the bull with you but... I was in a bit of a hurry to get home and see how my crew was doing getting my boat ready.... and just as I thought they were all just standing around waiting for me to tell them to do something.

Im pretty sure I will have the whole month off. . Lemme kno if/when any of yous guys are planning a port sheldon or holland trip and ill join yah out there in my boat, or if any of you need a extra rider im there.

I coulda really used you as my professional salmon fisherman to put the smack down on plumkrazy. Instead I ended up with a novice bass fisherman and sleeping beauty.

Are we spose to buy the spoon before we go out? I see you have the weigh- in time at 9:30 pm. Just wondering if Gold Coast is open that late for us to all go in and buy the spoon at the same time as we did last time. Also weigh in starting at 9:30 gets me home around 11pm im gonna assume then be up at 3am to fish the next day.

I got the idea from the cazman he had it in a post here about a year or so ago and it is really great. Andy, have you seen or thought about getting a "special mate" brand spoon box? these are also another great thing i learned from caz.

Im going after you in the next one Phil. All i can say about yesterday is you know your going to have a bad day fishing when you get a backlash on the toilet paper roll in the morning, thats the kinda day i had. I did catch a fish just not during tournament scheduled time. Daddy didnt raise no quitter. Nice fish and nice job on all that placed.

Thanks a bunch Rich for setting this up. Congrats Far Beyond Driven and Phil.

Niiiice

You can count myself my boy and Rdfishin in for the pig roast. Whats a powder puff tournament?

An i got some chips.

Thanks for the info. That blue bubble combo has been the ticket for me on big fish to.

Harperman I may have room for yah saturday if my son does'nt want to go. Ill be able to let you know by Thursday at the latest.

Terry did you go out?

Did you happen to try or mark any in closer like 60 fow? And will you by any chance be out tomorrow afternoon?

I guess i wont be fishing this weekend. I just found out my brother in law took the boat up north somewhere and wont be back till sunday.
