looking for a big jon rigger, would like it to have the auto stops. let me know what u have. thanks doug.

went out to 70fow looked around nothing, checked 80fow, then to 100 few fish, set lines. and began a north west troll went to 150 nothing turned around headed east hit 120 took a double after picking up speed to 2.8-3.0

anything less wasn't happening. got lines back in turned around nothing to 140 turned back south east, took two more. not the greatest night, but not bad. fished from 5:30-8 ish.

300' 45# bloodrun copper w/silver streak blueberry muffin took 2 kings 16#/14#

12 color lead with a silver streak lemon berrry took a 9# steelie.

rigger with silver streak miami dolphin, at 90 down took 7# king

lost one on a rigger running 95 down with a silver streak plankton.

and lost one other on same rigger with miami dolphin.

paddle fly bite as u can see was dead, but still great night on the water there wasn't a ripple on the water last night.

also there is a flash light by dreamweaver that has uv led bulbs that works great! just a quick pass over the spoon and it's ready. love that little light.

jake not sure if you got my pm but, it was cloudy and that was the day that there was a storm going throught to the south, we did end up getting a little wet but when the fishing is good u gotta stay.....

thanks bill I see you have been out there keeping the population under control too.

well that was the first time on my boat that i ever got a three man limit!!! if that tells you anything, the fish just felt bad for me i think.

This is a little late, but I was able to get out monday morning with a couple of guys we ran to 150 straight out and set-up, got 4 lines down and had first on! off the rigger. then the other rigger went, double!!! woohoo. next thing you know the wire diver took off, let the chinese fire drill start. got all fish in was resetting lines able to get all lines out on a 9 rod spread. 5 min goes by a another fish on, we stayed pretty steady the rest of morning. this was our set-up. and most fish came on a west to north west troll. 180 -220 best water.

rigger set at 145 w/ dw green and white 11" paddle with a last supper fly

rigger set at 135 w/ white pearl 11" paddle and a hypnotist fly

feel pretty fortunate after hearing not so good reports at first.

Thanks Doug

Bill all i have to say is very nice and it killed me to watch that video..... i got to get the boat out now!!!!! once again very nice.

Did Glen knock it off with the net!!! :D I heard he was good for that from the boys.LOL

we ended up 2 for 2 I guess if nothing else my hook up rate is really good!!!

went out last night and was setting the first line a 5 color with bloody nose j-plug didn't get the board on and "fish-on" told my wife here you go and she didn't beleive me at first. that was in 105 fow.

Ended up being a nice king, then nothing till we came back in to 70 fow had changed to moonshine lures and the fish finder was full from top to bottom, then a rigger went that was set at 55 down with moonshine bullseye, took off:eek:! handed it to my wife finally got it in and was the biggest for me yet was atleast 21-22# :D, ran through the channel with nothing happening pulled lines at 9:30.

Well Tony dont feel your alone now! I was running my blue diamonds on tuesday night and had one break on the rod holder also!!!! but i was fortunate to have it break above the reel and didnt lose anything, I did call fish-on bait and tackle where i purchased them in april and they replaced without a question. I give a huge thanks to them for their great customer service. But now what about the other???? feel i might tie it to the boat now in case i have one break below the reel????!!!!! what is going on with this rod!

nice job Ashley:good:, As stated before Don glad to see you keep the kids and the wife interested in the sport, wish mine did (wife) my daughter on the other hand is all aboout going fishing or hunting.

I see you noticed that pole, it actually was a lead core that i moved to the rigger pole holder when i brought it in was running that one down the chute:grin:

a late report, went out sat am set lines in 100fow just as the sun came up had rip on the wire dipsy set on 2 200' back with a pearl flasher and a siggs rigg green hypnotist fly and peeled off another 100' grab pole and gave to a new guy out for his very first time on the big lake, after about fifteen minutes I asked him how he was doing and all he did was turn around smile and said my arm is burning!!!!:D, after about 25 min boated a nuce king 19# 7oz. then it was pretty dead for us finally picked up a 8# steelie in 100fow on a 5 color with a green scaley j plug gave that one to him and after landing he said that was a little easier, so ended the day pulled lines and headed in, I think that we not only caught fish but hooked him also to salmon fishing:D

HA thats funny i have one in muskegon lake at the sand docks, was ice fishing for perch and got a call next thing i know splash right through the hole and it was still ringing when it hit!! then watched as it looked like a flasher fluttering on the way down!!! Whoops darn it.

Yeah it was great... not going tonight but will be out sat. morning.

nice job Jim, I cant beleive the all the arguing that is going on already wait till harbor patrol starts, then all the wonderful so called sportsman come out..

Nice job, was great night on the water...

Ran out to 100fow shut down and started setting lines on a west troll, Sent out two 150' cooper with green scaley j-plug and a silver horde green splatter back ( one from the challenge package ) never took a hit all night. Set first rigger with 11" pearl pro troll and a frosted fern fly down 110' on rigger counter was setting the second rigger and just got set with a 11" pearl pro troll and a oceana fly down 105' when the first rigger went and was screaming line out, got that one under control and gave to a friends son and then the other rigger went same thing just screaming:eek: whoo hoo a doouble first thing, lost the first one about 50yrds behind the boat, landed the second nice 18# male:D. reset lines got out a wire diver set on 2 with a green ladder back SD and a siggs rig green apple fly set at 225' back, first rigger went again and another good king 15#. :grin: then the wire diver went a 10# laker. got that in and then rigger again went another king 17#, finally get everything set sat down for a barley pop:lazy2:, and then wire diver starts ripping line started fighting and rigger goes thought it wrapped up in it..?? Nope another double going landed both fish a coho 8# and a king 10# then it shut down for us everything happened between 110' and 130' and was setting lines at 6:00pm by 9:00 nothing for us but man was that fun...Finally

Sweet!!! don i knew that i should have went last night, but i am going to sneak out tonight, you going?

Oh i see, sorry misunderstood then, i only have 19 strand.

Dave,

Hold off on using the 19 strand. I have expierenced fraying with the one rod I am trialing it on. If you tangle with something else, it's the weaker of the two.

Mike i think someone else posted this also, But there was a bad batch of the 19 strand and it was having fraying issue's. go back to where you got it they should replace it.? i have had the same problem with only one rod so i beleive that i got one bad and one good. but fish-on in spring lake is gooing to replace it for free. Also they set-up my rods Dave and they used just the wire straight to the reel and put 1000 ft on each, which is good because the one rod i have had to cut and redo several times down to about 700ft now on the one rod..

very nice mike, good looking fish.

WOW.. very nice fish steve, wtg.
