  1. Fish 2 trips yesterday. The morning was a slow go for us. With the Northeast winds all week the fish moved out deeper and I should have done the same, guess I panicked and stayed in close. Ended up with 9 in the morning. So in the afternoon we started in 70 and made a northeast troll out to 145. Fishing was AWESOME with 32 fish in 1 1/2 hours. It didn't matter every rod took fish with quadruples on just about the whole time. Orange spin doctors and aqua flies and white pro trolls with aqua flies on the riggers from the surface down to 50 feet. Just goes to show how important it is to be on fish and not second guess yourself. When expierence tells you to do something you should listen.

  2. Fog, fog, fog, and more fog both days this weekend. Fished 35-50ft both days. The fish Saturday started hitting well right away boating the first 8 fish without a loss, and after that it got real frustrating where at one point it took 12 bites to boat 3 fish. They just were not fully commiting when hitting. Ended up 20 for 40:eek:. Sunday was much better and the fishing was alot faster, we had 21 for 25 by 7:30am. Both days the baits were the same, orange baby spin doctors and aqua flies were best for the cohos and white blades with aqua flies took a few kings. Best speed was 1.8 on the depth raider.

  3. Just asked a question Josh. Just something I noticed on some of the fish I cleaned and wondered If he had the same problem. I didnt beat the hell out of them. 1 hit on the head.I defer to the "experts"

    Sorry I shouldn't have laughed, but Josh made me think about those Tred Barta episode where he beats the crap out of the tuna. I have seen fish where the meat was all bruised and blood shot though. Actually I remember one day we had about 3 fish we cleaned where the meat was bruised and all scared up and pus filled. I actually gave the fish to the dnr and they said they never saw that before.

  4. A core down the chute is asking for trouble, If you want a core down the chute run a swr on your chute rigger, or any rigger for that matter. It's hard enough keeping an angry king out of your boards, let alone a long line right behind your boat.

  5. Most smaller guys want to get their names out there. They're looking for people who fish a lot, and are very productive while doing it. Put together a resume. Include tournaments you've fished, and what places you have finished in. Include some factual numbers about your yearly fishing. Make sure you have information about yourself, that includes why your looking to promote this product. Most places don't want guys who just want free stuff, they want people who actually are going to use their products and help promote.

    Many companies have rules to being a pro staffer. This means you have to do some things for them, whether its giving 1 or 2 seminars a year, setting up a booth at an outdoor store, or in some cases just tossing a big ole sticker on your boat.

    Being sponsored isn't just a way of getting free stuff, its a marketing tool for companies.

    I hope this helps! Goodluck to you!!! :)

    That about sums it up perfect. You do have to produce and finish consistently high in tourneys to get their attention. You remember the guys who are consistently in the top 5 of the tournaments.
  6. Nick and I were out there this afternoon , wow you talk about being bounced around. 1-2 with an occasional 3 footer just to mix it up a bit. I knew I should have went early.

    Russ when you are in search mode are you actively fishing or just scanning for fish?

    I never drive around looking for fish without baits in the water. You wont mark the cohos on your locator either cause they are in the top 20 feet or so. What we do when we are looking for cohos is just troll east, dont mess around with north or south till you find them. We knew from friday that the fish weren't inside of 50 feet. So that's where we setup on Saturday and headed east. 1 in 60, 1 in 70, a double in 85, 1 in 90 and nothing out to 120. So we spun in 120(the water was to cold anyways 39 degrees) and headed west, 1 in 105, 1 in 95 and got to 85 and it picked up so then we turn the boat south and zig zagged between 85 to 90 and fishing was steady.

  7. Hey guys, just wanted to pass on some info about one of our members. jimcr does embroidering and t shirts. He just finished an order for me and they look AWESOME!! I couldn't be happier. I sent Jim a picture of my boat and he set it up. I checked some prices from other places before contacting Jim and he beat them by a mile! His work is way more detailed than other embroidery shops and Jim took pride in getting it perfect. So if anybody is interested in Tournament apparell or any clothing for that matter I would deffinetly recommend Jim. Sorry the pictures of the jackets don't do them any justice but between the one with the flash and without you can see the detail.

    The nice thing about how Jim does the T shirt is he uses Vinyl so you don't have to pay for silk screening set up if you only want a few Shirts.

  8. 5/6 1-6pm trip fished 35- 50 on scattered fish. Worst numbers in a few weeks 4 for 7. The fish that were right out front have moved out deeper. 5/7 morning went out deeper to try to find the school. Started in 50ft and headed east out to 120ft. Water in 120ft is 39 degrees and to cold. One here one there, best fishing was in 85-95 with orange spin doctors and aqua flies on surface lines taking fish and white flashers and aqua flies on the riggers down 30-45 feet taking the rest. Depth raider speed 1.8. went 12 for 15 all cohos
