  1. Good catch! Tough on those waves. Been there
  2. 0/2 , went south this evening. Waves were 3ft, never laid down. Fished 50-89fow. 1 release on a rigger with green ice meat rig on north troll 2.6sog, back 50ft, down 50ft, in 88 fow . Spit the hook out as I tried to reel him in. 2nd one bit on my wire dipsy with a blue/pearl sd and blue ice meat rig. He torn off the meat rig part leaving the sd and 3 tinsel skirts in 60fow, diver was back 80,set 3. North troll same speed. Only put 3 rods in the water, we were bouncing so much. 3rd line was a chicken wing spoon on a five color. Water was 44 degrees 35 down in 50fow. Didn't want the tangles either. I think it finally laid down as we dock.
  3. Just reward for rough ride on the lake. Wife and I saw a boat pounding the waves heading out, didn't look like alot of fun. Congrats for hanging on out there.
  4. 0/1 the best I could do was a simple release. Alot of junk floating midwater. Had a tangle when some of it pulled my 5 color into my dipsy. Fished 110-150 fow, just a few marks also. Very disappointing night. I heard a few bites on the radio. Fish finder showed a 50 ft deep thermocline. It seemed to really effect the area fishing.
  5. Lost 10" flasher and meat rig. ( ouch$$$). Flasher got cranked up into the pole eyelet and wife kept cranking, hence the breakage. Not her fault, I didn't realize how close it was while I was trying to net the fish. I'll be out there tonight, if I get my honey-dos done.
  6. 0 for 1, lost a king at the boat when the line broke. Had him on a green/ pearl 10" flasher and speckled dick meat rig as I pulled him up to the net. 131 fow, nw troll, sog 2.6, dr down 55ft, back 30'. Time to replace some old lines.
  7. Nice size, good catch! Congrats!
  8. I never caught one. Still working on it. Congrats on the steelheads great size.
  9. I have the x4d, my error in the previous message. I corrected it. You'll love it. Wish it were cheaper.
  10. I run it on my bigger boat. I thing it's the best. It is an X4D, reads temp, depth and speed at ball. On the littleboat I use a small hand held fishawk attach it to a line with a 2-4 oz weight, send it to the bottom, let it settle out and then slowly crank it up. It reads temp every 5 feet. Then I decide how to fish.
  11. I know the feeling. Morning bites were poor, but evening was much better. I did have one tangle last night, but it was when the fish twisted the braid somehow under the inside of the snap swivel on the dipsy. I lost about 15 minutes until I finally had to cut it apart. The 4th fish (king) hit at the same time and stayed hooked until I pulled it to the boat and bungled it. Also the launch ramps were really busy with the holiday boaters. The fog wasn't bad at all. You could see land and other boats easily.
  12. Fleas were there, but about 75% less on the braid and alot easier to flick off. I wear gloves pulling in the line when I hand over hand net by myself with the braid. If I tangle the braid with a SD or other, I cut it and retie the snap swivel. It's to difficult to try and straighten it out. When I use mono I have a little plastic fork with smooth edges to flick off the feas.
  13. Nice catch. We probably passed each other during the trolls.
  14. Called out for you last night on the radio a few times to see if you got out?
  15. Fished 6:30-9pm 3/4, one king 13.6#, one 10.5# and one steelhead 6.54#. Lost number 4, a big king at the boat do to the negligence of my 1 man crew...me. 1st was the steelhead on a 8C in 131 fow, with a uv blue dolphin, sog2.5, se course (144). 2nd was the 1st king on a DR 70 down, 50bk with a speckle dick uv meat rig in 125 fow and netminder SD, 2.5 sog, same course. 3rd was the largest king on a braided diver, set 3, back 130 with SD frog racer( it got hit by the 4th fish again) in 110 fow, with a uv green ice meat rig. What a night! All hits were between 7 and 8:30pm.
  16. Was the 300 on a board or straight back?
  17. What ever you do, don't sell that fish finder!
  18. Darn, would have love it. Just finished eating the walleye I caught from the otherside of the state. Definitely looking for a new supply.
  19. Great catch in a tough situation. Congrats!
  20. Weather should be getting better, thanks for report. I hope to get out before the chariot races begin down the channel. That was horrible last Saturday
  21. Two nice catches! Congrats!
  22. Fished 9:30am-12:30 north. 0/2 in 55 and 60fow today. Water was cold, stayed shallow. Lost the 1st in 55ft, dr back 60 dwn 25 w/ green glow frog sd and poofster fly, 2.5 sog nnw troll. I thought it was going to take the rod off the boat. 2nd with same rig in 60ft, dr back 30 dwn 30, sog 2.6. Darn fish spit it out. Did lose a wire diver, sd and meat rig today when the wire fatigued at the swivel. Ouch $$$! No other activity, no spoons took a hit, just a beautiful day. No bugs though? I don't know where they went?
