Mark, Like I said I do not have nothing against cut bait if it will help fishermen catch there fish. Just thought it would be nice to see it be lures only in tournaments. You also said something about police it in the tournamnets. So does this mean that people wouldn't be honest if there was no cut bait rule if there was such a rule in big tournaments. So then how would you run a no cull rule in a tournament then if it isn't police. Caznik I am not banning wire either. This is just a friendly ? what I have been thinking about.

When are people going to learn that cars and trucks don't belong on the ice while out ice fishing. Caznik Wonder how much all that cost to get your car or truck back off the lake.

Welcome to the site Paulywood. Caznik

I use to run fish weights on my outside riggers. But I didn't like the 10# fish weights so then I went to 12# balls. Do they sell any 12# fish weights. I like the fish weights better than the balls for the outside riggers. Caznik

Sorry but thats the way this type of fishing is. Somedays I wished that I stuck with bluegill fishing. Caznik

Hey Jimmy, Happy birthday little buddy. Caznik

Yes Mark is right, This is a great way to catch alot of salmon fishing in deep water. But make darn sure that you have that running on your deepest downrigger or else you will get tangled up. You also have to watch what you run next to it also. I ran a fish catcher next to it one day and oh my god. It was a mess. Then you will have to cut it all up and start your SWR rod all over again. Caznik

Well this took me awhile to think about but what I have learned in this type of fishing is that it is exspensive. I have been doing this type of fishing in a boat since I was probly 25 years old. I started learning with my dad and then going on my dads friends charter boat in Manistee. Well the first thing that I learned is not to get cheap equpment like what I did, alls you will do is trash the cheap stuff later and buy your self the best stuff. While you are fishing with friends start and buy your stuff little bit at a time while still learning how to fish this way. Then you can go out and buy the best things for you to fish with. I started out with walker mannual downriggers and now wished that I have got power downriggers. Them hand cranks are a pain in the a:eek: to crank back up when fishing deep. Also while learning how to fish this way is what kind of boat do you want and need. I learned alot on my first boat that I a big mistake by buying. My first boat was a 16' Sylvan with a 40hpr motor. That boat didnt have a widsheild, the boat was to small, and didnt have enough power to get me off that lake fast enough just in case of a storm was coming. Make sure your boat that you will want has a full windsheild, lots of power to get you off that lake if needed, a good trailer to is a big thing, and the last thing is a big enough boat to feel safe fishing in. 1st thing is a boat ( my choice) 17' Lund with a 115- 4 stroke and a Eagle trailer Cost- $24.000.... WOW Better start saving 2nd thing is power downriggers (my choice) Walker power downriggers with 2 rod holders Cost- $800.00 maybe? 3rd thing is cannon balls (my choice) 12lb. balls- have a friend off the web site make you some and it will be alot cheaper for you than buying them. 4th thing is a downrigger board I had Trout Tracker make mine and it cost me $300.00 but I will not lose my downriggers off a snag in the big lake. Such as a indian net out there. 5th thing now are your downrigger rods ( my choice) Start out with 2- 8' Heartland downrigger rods with Okuma Convector 30's for your reels. Cost is- $85.00 each 6th thing is Dipsey rods ( my choice is) start out with 2- 9.5' Hearland dipsey diver rods with Okuma Convector 45 reels. Cost is- $85.00 each 7th thing is Fishing line ( my chopice is) 20# Maxima for your downriggers and 30# Maxima for your dipsey reels. Cost- $75.00 for each big spool 8th thing is your lures 12 dozen reg. size Dreamweaver spoons $32.00 at the fishing shows 12 Dozen Mag Dreamweaver Spoons $36.00 at the fishing shows. 2- Dipsey divers- Size 1 $9.00 each 2- Spin doctors - 8" size $11.00 each 12 dozen flies - Make your own for really cheap 9th thing is a fishing net Cost- $32.00 ? for a exstended handle 10th thing is a big cooler for your fish Cost- $40.00 at Sams club 11th thing is a fish finder and a marine radio Fish finder- What ever brand you want $600.00 Marine radio with antenna and mount- Brand ? $100.00 12th thing is a must GPS- cost $300.00 hand held This is all what you should start out with if you want to fish on the big lake. Remember not to buy cheap fishing gear because at the end you will get rid of the cheap stuff and buy the better stuff later. There is so much you can use now to catch fish that it isn't funny no more. Such as Downrigger rods, Dipsey rods, wire rods, lead core (full), half core, SWR rods, planner board rods. Its hard to make a choice what to use anymore. Caznik

Try and get a good days catch of salmon so you can get the canner good and full. Also after you clean your fish make sure you rinse the meat good. 1- Cut Salmon meat into 1'' chunks 2- Put chunks of Salmon and fill your PINT size jars(Do not fill to full) 3- Put in 1 teas spoon of salt in your filled up jar of fish. 4- Boil your lids 5- After you boil your lids place them on your jar and tighten jar down. 6- Fill your canner up with your jars of fish 7- Then put water in your canner and fill it up half way up your jars. 8- Now make sure your presure valve is open. 9- Wait till valve starts to be steaming. 10- Once valve starts to be steaming you must shut your valve. 11- Now wait till presure gets up to 10lbs. 12- Once the presure gets up to 10lbs. you now can set the timer to 90 min. 13- After timer gos off after 90 min. you will have to wait and make sure all the presure is gone from the canner. DO NOT OPEN CANNER WHILE IT HAS PRESURE 14- Now take your jars out and wash them up and make sure they all sealed. Hope you will enjoy your canned salmon Caznik the cook

Good idea Mike. Caznik

This is what I do, I put the rookie fisherman behind the wheel because a rookie can never drive straight. But the bad thing about puting a rookie behind the wheel is. He will get your lines tangled up. Caznik

Ya right, My wife went down to the mail box and got my master card bill from the fishdog co. She found out that I charged $725.00 on my master card for all my new rods and reels for fishing. Man Im in the dog house now. will anyone let me live with them for awhile, Caznik

Hey Steve, I hope you really didn't try and smell and put your tung on that cut bait. I got thinking about all the things that Marks tells what you have done in the past. You know the deal with life with Steve. Well anyways if anyone like to check out this site about cut bait. This guy on this web site really knows what cut bait does. Sounds like to me he even thinks its better than lures. Well if anyone like to check some of his stuff on his web site. The site is called www.michigansportsman.com You all probly have seen this allready. But if you have not check it out. Or check this out also. http://www.michigansportsman.com/Manistee_Master_BaiterI.htm Like I said Steve cut bait is bait, and a lure is a lure. They are not the same to me. Thats why I think bait should not be in ant tournaments. I have nothing against with anyone fishing with it at all if it will help that fisherman fill his box. But to make all tournaments even (Tackle vs. Tackle)is the way to me that it should be done. Guys now dont hit my boat when im fishing, Caznik

Just thought I share one more thing. Here is my daughter Cazzie with her nice six point she happen to shot with her muzzloader in 2004. After she shot that I walked up to her where she was sitting and reloader her gun again. Well while walking back to my blind she happen to shot again. That time she shot a doe. Man did I have some work to do that day. My Daughter Cazzies deer kills. age 12-21 Spike- Bow Kill Doe- 410 single shot 9 point- Bow Kill Doe- 410 single shot Spike- 410 single shot Doe- 20ga.pump 6 point- muzzleloader Doe- muzzleloader

Nice job Matt, I sure wish I can get out and fish again. Well maybe this weekend, Caznik

Hey Jimmy cazzzzz

Ya I know when Steve went fishing with me he lost all the fish he had on. He told me that my hooks wasn't sharp. But Steve is a good guy to go fishing with because he will keep my boat clean from fish slim. Rich
