Congratulations Aaron!

Mark, I will say this, i was disapointed in the penitration of the cross bow, i have shot newer ones and they are accurate out to 80 yards but i wonder about the penitration you would get, i know my deer was only 20 yrds and it hit the opposite sholder and did not go thru it , but i also had a rage broadhead on the bolt to. with my 65 lb compound im sure i would have passed thru with my 90 grain muzzy. those are just just my thaugts about the cross bow it is easier to move and get on the deer and is very accurate tho.

it is above the high ways and it is very shallow between marina and the lake not good for a big lake boat , pontoon maybe.

well with the lake being to ruff ta fish i decided to go to the tree stand this mornig at 8 oclock two does came by and i just couldnt pass up the chance for some fresh backstraps! So i took one of em first one with a cross bow and rage broadhead ,put it rite down with a heart shot .

I use floro leaders for all my flies,lead core,copper,free sliders and dipsey leaders and yes i believe it makes a huge difference!

lol ya that was my thaughts to......... welcome to the site Dick , are you Dick B. from Holland?

I did do my own this spring on my I/O ,the replacement skeg was around 40 bucks , i work in a machine shop and can kinda weld alluminum but not a pro at it for sure. dont know what it would cost to have a pro do it . also dont know what it would take to do a 30 horse outboard, part cost ect. sorry

we talkin perch? or salmon?

yup! I think it has something to do with it cus fishing out of holland has been tuff as well,marking tons of fish but only getting 5 to 10 bites per trip.When they decide to feed we are gonna wack em lol !

mikie my boat was sitting on bottom this week i had to pull it out of the slip

i would go to 200 fow and troll west. and they r deep.

i am running the x5 sport pilot and i love it!had to send in the computer a month into it but they turned it around in just 2 days and i have not had any problems since.

3 15 lb cannon balls 300 copper 250 copper twice 2 mag dipseys 3or 4 spoons and one board broke two copper rods( okuma classics i will never buy again) toasted three reels ( again okumas) had t retire 3 old reels that no longer hag clickers in them a hat overboard had to replace two batteries and an altinator in the boat. countless quarters thrown at the rods for good luck LOL Had to fix the trailer mid season( rotton bunk boards) but hey thats the price to pay to have fun!!

fished out of holland this pm ,started in 90 fow found the water had warmed up to 61 deg. all the way to the bottom:(, so pointed it west, got to 145 fow and found 53 deg down 100 foot went to 150 and turned se ,and took a very nice 15 lb king on wire diver back 250 with green crincle jp slammer proto type dodger, then hit 145 fow and picked up a 4 lb steelie on 250 copper with a mixed veggies slammer, went to 120 and turned it around and picked up another 8 lb king on wire diver back 300 with a uv paddle with chartruse dots and mirage flie , that was it for the night ende 3 for 3 when we got to 105 the graph lit up we should heve been there an hour erlier i guess oh well had a great time with a couple of good buddys:thumb:

oh ya lost a board to but a guy just tried to call me to let me know he just found it woohoo!

left the dock around 6 am went to 90 fow and set lines worked out to 120 turned it south and trolled to saugy picking up 4 small kings best water was 105 fow all came on spoons mixed veggies ,orange fuzzy glow frog,glow fire dog slammers turned the boat on a nw and picked up 3 nice kings on high divers back 145 set on 3 with green echip with pickle sunshine flie,and dream catcher spinnie with mirage flie , in the 10 to 12 lb class and missed several other hits ended the morning at 11 going 7 for 13 all kings. the water was 54 deg down 80 foot with 105 being the best.

out of 10 a 10 !!!!! i would rather fish without my graph!!!

nice job Aaron!

Fished out of Holland Sat am and Sunday eve. Sat am we set lines in 200 fow and fished out to 250 fow it was a slow pick but we finished 6 for 9. What worked : orange fuzzy glow frog spoon on 300 copper white slick 8 inch spinie with pickle sunshine flie on 300 copper killer green glow on rigger down 80 feet modified mixed veggies on rigger down 75 fat nancy spinnie with mirage flie on high diver back 150 set on 3 on Sunday eve we went to 135 fow set lines and trolled out to 185 fow ,we started around 5:30 and finished with 10 fish at 7:45 then hooked up to a double as we were trying to pull lines let one go and lost the last one . it was a blast! what worked: rigger down 153 with a big uv paddle rigger down 160 with an 8 inch white slick with fish scale pattern paddle wire diver back 275 with an 8 inch uv spinie with a mirage flie wire diver back 265 with an 11 inch uv paddle with a frost flie 300 copper with an 8 inch uv paddle 300 copper with a white sl;ick 8 inch spinie with pickle sunshine flie we had 3 doubles with just the two of us on board "thank God for auto pilot:thumb:" here are a couple of pictures , even i had to fight fish lol how do ya do this again:p 2 fish at a time in the net! the final count

set the drags just tight enough that they dont creep out, when you hook up the first thing i do is loosen the drag before pulling the rod out of the holder ,this alows a smoother removal from the rod holder, that is when you can loose most of your fish ,getting the rod out. if you are getting bit and the fish are coming off before you get to the rod they are short striking or grabing the flasher ot the front of the flie and not hooking up good. to solve this issue you can speed up just a tick or change your angle of troll, that makes the fish hit from a different direction and thus getting hooked better. just myu 2 cents worth good luck.

John, Dave is rite when you are letting the copper out and the board keep tension on it ,let it out slow this will keep the copper "up" and not sinking down . make sure you keep the boat straight also when deploying copper.

the holand bouy is rite.it would be best to go deep 180 plus thats were the fish have been taken this week.

thats funny!!!

Don is rite 150 if your not in the main tourney and you can sign up at the captains meeting friday you still need to follow tourney rules so you need to be there for the meeting.
