Good luck Mike!

Next time you will get them.

I have an alpha one and had to replace the coupler. When the coupler went bad on mine, it would not go foreward or reverse. I am not sure about the volvo drive drive works.

Nice job Jim!

Nice job Jim!

Nice shots Ken!

Thanks for the tip on using the flash on the bright days. I always turned mine off.

Nice job Duane.

Some of my best spoons are the ones where most of the paint has been removed. It might be because its always in the water.

Stinger will repaint their spoons for $1.00.

Thanks for the report Mike. You will get them next time.

Congrats Bromley! I knew you and your wife was expecting some time around now, but did not remember the date. I hope Kinley and your wife are doing well.

Are you getting any sleep at night?

Nice job Derek.

Nice job Scott. Looks like you got some decent sized eyes.

Nice job Justin!

Nice job Adam! Will looks just as happy in this picture as the other one.

Nice job Scott.

Nice shots Mike. I am wishing I was on the lake right now instead of at work.

Great photo Dennis! Did you add the date below the sign with photoshop?

Nice job Tim!

How fast is your speed while you are trolling? Speed is just as important as water temperture. I generally troll around 2.7-3.0MPH on a GPS. Surface speeds do not take into account underwater current. What your are traveling on the surface is not what your baits are traveling underwater. The underwater speed is the critical one. One of the best ways of determining the correct speed without an underwater speed and temp probe is by watching the bend in a diver rod. Once you catch a fish, note what the bend is in your diver rod. On my boat and from where I stear, the ideal bend is the rod tip should be between the reel and the first eye on the rod.

One of the biggest factors for catching fish, is water temp. They say chinook salmon(what we have in the Great Lakes) prefer 42-44F. The active ones can be caught in waters up to 54F. I have caught fish in warmer water. This was when they were staged in the fall for the run up the rivers.

In the fall you should be targeting areas closer to the river mouths.

Nice pictures Ken.

I noticed on a couple of pictures a February date on the time stamp, and you are in a boat. Was the boat an ice breaker, or is the time stamp date incorrect?

Nice job Larry! I have not been out in a couple of weeks and enjoy reading these reports.

Nice job Kevin!

I hear those 6' logs taste a lot like chicken.

Hello Mike. no. its lake trolling. I caught them on your flasher and fly. Gyus in boat was impressive. he he he. They can't believe that I caught fish on the fly.

The flasher/fly combination is a GREAT fish producer.

I was trying to find out more infomation about the fish you are catching. What species of salmon are they? Do they spawn in the rivers?
