    I have had the same thing happen in the past on this site and Lake Ontario United, which are both run by the same. Usually an update to my phone stopped it from happening. Maybe try clearing out your cookies on your phone?

    Nice work. It's good to see some of next year's Kings are out there. Great Steelie too!

    I don't think they make the Yellow Submarine anymore. I may have one in the package still. I will have to check for you. Edit: I see they have them at Tackle Haven!

    Hopefully your repairs are minor. I enjoy reading your reports on the East side of the lake. Seems like the good fishing is in similar depths over there right now as it is across the lake on our side. Your towing insurance just payed for itself for several years!

    Nice catch guys! The "Moonshine" and "Yellow Submarine" spoons look identical in the light, but the "Moonshine" is blue glow in the dark on one half and the "Yellow Submarine" is all yellow glow. Then there's the "Jackal" that glows all blue. Great spoons!

    I love those dingle berries. I have several good producing spoons that have them. I'll have to look for some of those Yeck versions. Nice work and thanks for the report and spoon pic!

    Single hooks don't lever themselves out like trebles do. If a fish gets slack (which is highly probable on slider rigs), they stay embeded in the fish's mouth. Hooking percentage might actually go down with singles, but landing percentage will go up once a fish is hooked.

    I try to use only single hooks on my slider spoons. My ratio went way up once I started doing that.

    You don't tie the leadcore directly to the bait, you tie a leader on the end of the leadcore, and then a snap swivel to the end of the leader. I use 30' of 20# flourocarbon leader for flashers, tied with a willis knot. Never had an issue with the willis knot, but a double uni knot works great too for both mono/flouro or braid tied to leadcore (after removing a few inches of lead from it's sheath), especially with micro leadcore that is too thin to make a willis knot.

    Church walley boards are fine for 5 and 7 colors. They struggle with 10 colors, but as long as it's not real choppy they work. I use an offshore OR-19 release that I set to not release. Lots of guys use the church lockjaw release the same way. Reel the board in to the boat, take the board off, then fight the fish without the board.

    They already do plant some 800,000 Chinook in Huron still but supposedly they all leave and head to Lake Michigan. Because of this, those fish are counted towards the LM stocking totals. The question is, why not just stock those fish in LM if they are counted as LM fish? A lot of the things we are told to believe don't make sense...

    You can definitely see bug hatches on your locator. We were once fishing what we thought were bait schools when the water behind us turned dark brown and started to look like smoke. Then we trolled right through one of the pods of insects and you almost couldn't breathe. It was a midge fly hatch we experienced that was so thick it was almost biblical. If you were surrounded by flies on deck, I would say those definitely could be insect hatches you marked.

    Good to know, thanks! If it's holding up to a rigger (even a hand cranker), I should have no problem with my table mount. I've never seen anyone else use the V-lock on a Great Lakes boat but there's a lot of ways to use them. Sorry for the hijack...I hope Hockey's cover works out for him.

    Hey JT...is that a v-lock mount I see hiding under your rigger? If so, how is it working out for you? I just made a filet table mount with one of those.

    It probably won't be an issue and maybe it will serve as an index so you can put your release back where you got a hit or caught a fish. I just talked to a friend who stacks a lot and he's been using those Scotty's for a few years now with no issues at all. Just don't forget they're on there when you bring the rigger up.
