caznik Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 Sea-Mac would like to join this tournament.Ok, I have you down for the tournament.See ya Saturday July 15th,Rich
GLF Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 I will be fishing this tournament with Dv8oR. I am bringing some copies of Dan Keatings book "Keating on Kings". I have the book for sale here. The cost is $24.95 ea.I have 6 copies, and I am bringing them to this tourney. If you would like to reserve a copy, send me a private message.I just finished reading the book, a very good read. Dan has done a very good job of explaining his "group dynamic" theory of fishing at a laymans level so its easy to understand by all.He introduced a few new ideas, and reminded me of some tactics that I've used in the past (on the west side of the lake). I'm not saying everything he says is the gospel, but you can't argue with success. I plan to try the majority of his ideas as the season progresses. A good investment for anybody interested in catching more kings.P.S. RCH, Once Val teaches you to read , I'll rent you the book.I just finished this book. I purchased it from Mike. I started fishing lake michigan for perch as of last spring. As I was going to my perching grounds I decided to throw out some hot-n-tots on my steelhead rods and troll to my perching grounds. Well needless to say I was hooked when I caught a couple of steelies. I purchased a couple of Walker manuals from a guy from work and was using them with my bass rods. Whenever I hooked up I had to throw the 17 foot boat into neutral and have the fight of my life keeping an eye on the spool getting smaller and smaller by the second. Eventually I purchased downrigger rods and dipseys then leadcore. I hooked up with some of my friends who were seasoned fisherman of the big lake and learned alot of things to help me. Eventually I purchased a GLS 220 and now I'm hooked. When I read this book it opened my eyes to many things I would of never thought of. The things that Dan Keating does makes alot of sense. Group dynamic? is what I thought when I first looked at the index. Now after I read this chapter it made me think actually what your lures look like as if you were a fish looking up as you trolled by. This book covered everything you could think of. This is a great book and I would recomend anyone to read this book. I'm sure after reading this book and take recomdations that dan suggest it will help me catch more fish and open my eyes to different tactics. Mike I give this book a thumbs up!!!!Thanks,Larry
