DIRTY DOG

as paulywood stated, cores are also my faverite rods ,and as a side note i see a lot of people saying they don't like a full core or anything longer in my oppinoin ,your out there mostly for the fight and when a long core go's of, now you have a battle currently i have 12 core rods on the dog ,a pair of 2,3,5,7,10,12 and 15 colers ,and from june though mid aug. the last few year "do to warm water" i mainly run 7,10,and 12 on one side and 10 ,12 and 15 on the other side here is a few pics of some long core fish this is a 15 coler and this is the results this pic is mid july out of sagotuck mi. all where on 10 coler or longer now that was fun

WOW , that looks like the illusive mikey fish only to be found on GREAT LAKE FISHERMAN

i was just wondering if any one has ever tried to yous a acua view , i bought one from my brother inlaw a few years ago and thought about trying to rig it to a rigger cable , has any one ever done this

ken hit the nail write on the head "no pun intended" ,lead core set ups are my most productive set up year round in the spring i use 2,3 and 5color cores for cohos and browns and as summer comes closer as the water warms and the fish go deeper i start running longer lengths such as 7 ,10 ,12 and even 15 coler core part of the key to it is to find out what depth the fish are feeding at and trie to get the write length of core out there to match as a rule of thumb , a singel coler will sink around 3 to 5 ft depending on boat speed and current for me ,cores shine as the sun comes up and the fish start to spook away from the boat

nice job randy

looks like a good day

dang phil, and i was slowly getting thru these blues with some ice fishing till ,i seen that pick of me and my little buddy adam, on the plum krazy , ya just had to do it didn't ya LOL

like frank said, this is a great thing to do this time of year to help the winter blue pass by till spring comes around again, also a good way to talk about anything in genral

hey mike, like i said before ,when ever your ready to do it again just call

i here that for sure ken, ive fished 6 of the last 8 day and the least ive got was 14

well i took the day off of work today to do a little ice fishing{long week there} so i called sea-mac up last nite to see if he mite want to come along we hit the ice this morning around 8am and fished until about 1 pm and took 42 nice gill rangeing 7.5 to close to 9 , and 8 crappies in the 8 to 9 inch range home for our limets the jigs that worked for me where a yellow and org. marmooska in size 14 and a purple haze jd costum in size 8 tipped with 2 spikes a peace , looks like i will be looking for some place else for the morning do to a pike tourny on this lake in the morning wich in turn means around 100 peopal on the ice by 8am thanks for comeing along mike it was fun as always:D

nice job randy

nice job ken

hey roger, my dad and i took another 50 from that lk. tonite ,no sorting today all 8 to 9s

P.s. Theses are made by ht

a marmooska jig is a horazontal style jig that , has a football shaped head with a small hook that comes out the back hear is a pic of my favorite colers{sorry for the quality} these little jigs work the best with 2 spikes or mouses also they are in a size 14 and ive found that if the fish come up and just look at it and will not bite i will drop down to a sive 16 or 18 with only 1 spike and move it REALY SLOW and it works like a CHARM

wire is AWSOME, i have 2 okuma 8ft 6 blue dimand wire rods ,with 30d convectors that have 1000 ft of stainless wire and i love em these are my faverite setups to catch fish on

yup , i was there tonite and took 16 home in 1 and a half hours ,same jig you where yousing , nice job rog. see ya in the morning

Happy new year

nice job rog. , i just got back from there ,and the lake level has came up so much that you need waders if not a conoe to get to the ice now ,looks like around 30 ft. of open water and all the docks are under by atleast 12 inches also with the 3 ft of snow that melted do to the 2 plus inches of rain and 60 degree temps out side right now, most of the roads had a lot of water flowing over them or where closed

and a lot of times stupid KILLS

merry christmas and happy new year to all

lead core in 10, 12, and 15 colors did very but the wire divers where a very close second my normal setup was 2 riggers 6 cores and 2 to 4 divers depending on the crew size

well the boardom has set in , with only boarder line safe ice around here ,and a bad deer season , and most of the honey dew list aready done "FOR NOW", i decided to take a little boat ride down the river to see if i could find some steelhead on this nice 43degree dec. afternoon and i did i fished solo from 11 to 2:30 pulling plugs below m-89 and ened up 1 for 2 with a nice 9 lb male for the smoker not red hot ,but it beat sitting in the house, also i seen 3 muture bald eagle to day sitting in the top of one of the big pine on top of a big sand slide {this only sucks becouse i left the cam. at home} the plugs that worked where a pink and gold hot and tot and also the old stand by , gold black top and with red bill both 1/4 oz
