welcome there are a lot of great sportsmen here

this year I am going to give fixed sliders a try instaed of my usual stackers. So I can run 2 more coppers.
I am going to be using the HD off shore clips but What do I use to attach slider to the main line?
How long of a leader can I use?
Does the slider ever tangle around the main line when Fighting a fish on the main line?
Thanks Steve

Welcome

I don't fish any port regularly so I don't get the time to keep on the fish.
When you go to a new port How do you know where to start as far as depth/
I usually head out till I start to see bait then slow down to look for fish. Last year I usually ended up starting around 55'-60' (predawn). then is its slow I start to zig zag my way out

Last year was my first year running copper. While my 200' and 150 ran good, my 250 and 300' had on occasion weeds and Zebra mussels on them.
How are you guy deploying them so they do not fall to the bottom. I was getting stuff on them in 100-140 FOW.
I let the water pull the copper off the reel as we move. do I need to tighten the spool a little to keep them up in the water a little or is there something else I'm missing..

My braid divers have had the same line on for 2 summers. They didn't see the water last year. his year I will be running them with my wires.
How long do you guys run with your braid before changing?

Yes its an old mariner.

I use the st100 plus also. You just have to fabricate a bracket the will give it a square mount. If the motor is on a bracket this could take a while. Mine is mounted (motor) to the transom and the AP is mounted to the gunnel.
They also make a cabled remote that allows you to control from the helm. I had a 2000 and the reaction time was to fast. It rocked the boat because it would steer to fast on my small boat

west side gets deeper faster. but 2 miles is a long walk at 20 degrees.
after I get out a few times ill take some guys out with me if they want. I just need to get my travel routs and check my waypoints. I probably start next weekend.
-
sound like they had a bad day out there today. I was told that there was another man in the same hole at 6pm
-
copied from another site. 2 guys in just off the main trail out
N43 45.529
W83 38.387
6.04 miles NW out of Thomas Rd.
-
saw a report of a live crack 6 miles out of Thomas with a quad and shanty floating. Both guys reported on shore when my buddy called.
Be very carefull My buddy said there was a closed crack 2.5 miles out and a live crack running northwest at 6.5

I have been kicking this around for a few weeks.
When or how often do you change a bait (i.e. spoon fly plug) if the fishing is slow?
I traditionally don't change a lot of tackle But I play with the depth a lot when its slow

Water level permitting Luna pier harbor has camping and docks

Curious who fishes the ice on the bay and where you let out from

Yeah the river had a lot of water on the ice. We ended up in qsee. With a bucket on minnows and 5-7" of ice
-
We ended up with 16 shortys and no keepers.
Ill be out on the bay next weekend. they were getting out 6 miles this weekend and getting some nice ones. No school for the kids today so we are going to run back up to the river with hunter and morgan to catch some fish.
Once I get out on the bay a few times if you want to take a ride your welcome to come out with me. The guys I usually ice fish with don't like getting out 6-8 miles. they are used to lake st clair

Well with the first walleye trip of the year under our belts we came home physically empty handed.
How ever Hunter and my father had a great time. We ended up with 16 shortys and an empty auger. We tried shallow, deep, drop offs and 3 different locations. I spent more time tying new jigs on hunters line than jigging my own. Every 15 min with out a tap he would start eyeing that tackle box looking for the next secret weapon. Even after cathing a fish he was in the tackle box looking for what the bigger fish wanted.
We started out at the Zville launch and worked our way to the north end of hog alley. I few sleds running the river and 4+'' of ice everywhere. blue seamed to be the color but no lure.
We caught fish on #2 do jiggers, #7 jigging raps, #2 shiver minnows and Swedish pimples all tipped with whole minnows. !0' of water was dead but anywhere in the channel had a few fish
-
Well my son hunter twisted my wifes arm so we could get up to the Saginaw river and try some wally fishing. Ive been hearing good reports all along the river so hopefully Ill have a good news report for tomorrow.
This is like deer camp. Im tring to go to bed and hunters knocking every few minutes to ask a question about jigging for walleye cause he cant sleep.

I just saw one on the Lexington KY craigs list with a 115 mariner
-
I have a set and I use them for walleye and cohos.
Salmon I use walleye boards for copper.
I like them better than any board I have tried. They seam to ride a little farther behind the boat than some other duals I have had but that doesn't affect the lines just preferance

I will be in for all but the july event. weather permitting
