The Fiskas jigs Rock!! Nice job Jay.

I didn't run much meat last year, but the year before we did well on this setup.

Nice slabs Jay

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Last year I lost a 300' 45# copper due to the copper breaking at the knot. The copper was quite new and broke, not the mono. When I bought the 32# from Greg of Profishent Charters/BloodRun Tackle, he said it's a good idea when tying an Albright knot to add a 2" Haywire to the copper. The Haywire helps to distribute the load away from the knot. I just got my copper reels back from Tuna Tom all fixed up with new drags. After redoing all the connections, I thought I would post a pic of what he was talking about.

Google Franks great outdoors. Like Adam said, the Ace Hi plugs (by Silver Horde) flat out catch fish. Blue, and Green splatterback in the glow, Glow ladderback, blue, and green lightning are also great.

Welcome aboard Plugs.

How many Lumen does a 55watt halogen put out? I would rather have a light that spreads it's light out, rather than one that cast it's light far.

Jim, It looks like Sound off only sells through distributors? , Did you get them through your work?

I made a rocket launcher that will fit on across the tops of my trees. I want to put some deck/rigger lights up there. I'm debating between the low draw of a LED v the brightness of the Halogen. As I age, it becomes very difficult to see in the low light, epically when we get a tangle. Will a LED such as the one below be enough (aprox 340 lumen output)?, or should I just go with the standard 55w Halogen? The Halogens have 4.5 amps of draw per light, and the LED's have 1 Amp per light. Two lights should do me good. Site location

That blows me away. The lake I live on here in Caledonia/Alto is not even froze.

Great shot Ben.

I'll be there to eat cookies

The dates will be like last year. I think most events did not coincide. I'll work on posting them soon.

We pounded the fish last year on the plugs in August. I like then on the long lines (copper or core), but did get fish off the riggers also. My faverots are the Splatter back Ace Hi ones from Silver Horde. When the fish are deep, the plugs help to gain depth from the long lines. http://www.silverhorde.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/SilverWebParts/.pond/acehi.jpg.w560h711.jpg

Sounds like a a great morning Robert. A pine Marten is like a mink.

Golf, Bow Hunting, Gun Hunting in the UP, sex, Shooting at the Sportsman Club, Softball, free time, and the beer after all those things. In the end, it's all worth it. I have to draw the line at fishing though:D:D

How do you like the new probe? Gordy do you live near Ada?

This post is from March of last year. Soon it will be 21 years The best way to stay married, is to stay away from temptation, and give up a lot of the things you enjoy.

Robert, welcome to the other side of fishing forums.

It may hold on? They have changed the long range to just normal temps v below normal. When will you be down?

I did the mod on the hookup.

Steve, is it he one that looks like this? I still use one. If no one else needs it I'll take it as a spare.
