Where can I get meat rig bait. Does anyone sell strips pre cut or do you do you fillet your own or use whole fish in the rigs. thanks STeve

I have 30lbs power pro for both backing and my dipsy rods

How many of you change the treble hooks on spoons for singles. I first saw a single in action last may and the hook was actually in the mouth and out the nose on 1 fish and out the top of the head on the other. Last year I didn't lose a fish (but I only boated 28). I am wondering if I should be changing the most used spoons or am I just trying to think useless crap up to do before spring. Thanks Steve

Thanks for the effort. I can only imagine the work it takes to get one togther. I really appreciate you trying.

I have been looking at getting a new older sled and the miles on a sled are not really as much a factor as the yeart. Most low milage sleds have had the speedo disconnected to not register miles.I am not saying you do this but I see it a lot. But in good condition You could get between 1500 and 2000. Put it up for 2000 and see what comes. If no one bites lower it. Most craiglist 1996 sleds in good conditon run from 900- 1800 with way more miles. Steve

My dad has a 4.5KW honda. It won't run the whole house but he runs the well and sump of the 220 with a 110 converter. and 2 power bars( off the gen. 110 plugs that run his entertainment center (tv, vcr, wii, And desk top) and the fridge. It will also run the furnace but not at the same time as the pumps. He also runs a few lamps.

Onan's aand thenHonda Brand (notjust the engine).STay away from Generac. They run ok if you use them all the time but they don'tstore very well. And the wait time on service sucks. I have aNew honda on my truck only because it was 600 less than the onan I wanted.

about 8". Just enough to ride my sled down I 696 for 5 miles with out skidding. I even passed a state tropper and he just waved and laughed.

I made the 10mile ride towork this morning on my sled. Only skiddedacross 1 main road and the cops didn't even bother me. On the way home the subdivision streets were like trails and It was some of the best riding I have ever had.

I had to sew on some tabs and then screw in snaps to the cooler and snaps on the tabs of the cushon

I tried and it wants a password and ID It wouldn't take my GLF stuff.

Wow thats one huge fish thanks for sharing.

In past years early on when the shad are around the fish I do catch have full bellies of shad. I always just atributed it to the Competion of bait fish with lures. When the shad are gone the fish seam to feed more. Just my thought. I never thought about walleye eating shad till I accidently cut the stomach open on 1 two yaers ago and out popped 3 3'' shad.

If I buy a smaller MP camera will I be able to stop cropping my photos to post. I have to really shrink my size to get the to post and some I can't get to resize small enogh to post. Thanks Steve

Thanks for the report we are heading up monday.

Welcome this is a great group. I think you will like it here.

What speed do you run them at. I will be fishing spring coho about 2.0.

I was just at BPS and they had some 4'' swimbaits for half off. I picked up a couple to try next spring. Does anyone use these or tried them even. They are pretty pricey so I am wondering if I should get a few more. Steve

I was out on ST clair 3 times this year and while it was nice to get out I didn't catch enough to make it worth my money but at least I was fishing. I am turning to inland lakes around here for now till my next bay trip next sunday.

How wouls I keep tension on them so they don't come unwound. A rubber band.

I need some ideas on how to store some extra Flasher to fly leaders and some extra dipsey leaders. I would like to pre tie about 8 Flasher to fly leaders from 24- 40'' ans 2 extra dipsey leads 6=7'. Thanks Steve

This winter I am going to start a remod on an old 23 donzi fishing boat. My first plan is to clean up the hull, cockpit and deck. The blue hull has an extreamley cloudy look to it. I lightly buffed it and waxed it this spring. It helped out a little but it seams to be returning. What is a good buffing agent to use. I have absolutly no experiance with fiberglass so any help wpuld be appreciated. Thanks Steve

That sounds good to me. I plan on comming over for both seminars. Another show on the 19th is themid mi steelheaders show in mason. I just saw that on their page. I don't know if it effect you I just happen to see the date on their web page.

My buddy and I used his frabil last weekend. It wasn't very windy but we had a hard time anchoring it. The anchors kept pulling out. dont get me wrong it was probably O.E (operator error). It set up fast but I still like my pull over better.
