Nice job Jason!
Are you going to head back to the West side before the end of the year?
-
Nice shots Andy!
-
Nice job Terry and crew!

The Tipsey Toad was good! I know how hungry I was and I thought for sure you guys were going to beat me down for my burger untill yours came. That rough water sure does work up an appetite.
Thats one of my favorite places to eat after a day on the lake.

Nice job Andrew! What did you think of the Tipsey Toad Tavern? If you would have left and went to the bathroom, I am sure your burger and fries would have disappeared.

Nice job of catching on Sunday Don! Sorry to hear about the probe and cannon ball.
-
Nice job Joe. My wife would not have made it past the pier heads.
-
Nice job Jay! That had to be fun with only 2 people in those waves.
-
Nice job Ken and crew.

Fireplaces are not efficient for heat. I think they are only about 30% efficient. When I built our house, I put in a wood burning insert in the living room. It has a blower that blows the hot air into the room. I wired a switch on the wall next to it for turning the blower on and off. The tubes above the flames that the air goes through were not sealed very well and we had smoke issues in the beginning. I resealed the tubes and fixed the issue.
I also put a wood burning stove in the basement. We get a lot more heat out of this than we do with the fireplace insert.

Great job in some tough conditions. Boy did that blow change things. Sure pushed that break deep!!! Thanks for the report.
I had not been out in a couple of weeks. Things had completely changed in those 2 weeks. Thanks to some reports I read on this website this week, we started right in the fish!
A big THANKS to every member who posted fishing reports this week!

I made it out Saturday morning in the 2-4/3-5 foot waves today with Tom(tltorrice), Kevin, Rich, Tyler, and my two sons.
We left the dock around 6am and motor out. We dropped in at 105FOW and started to set lines. While I was in the process setting the 3rd rigger, the 2nd one fired. After a short battle, we lost this fish.
This rigger was set at 100'. After I reset this rigger, another one fired. We boxed this fish. This one came on Stinger NITRO Snow Snake on a fixed slider 10' above the ball. This rigger was set at 90' About this time, Tyler started feeling ill. Tom, Kevin, and I talked and we decided to let Tyler make the call on whether we go in or stay out. He wanted to stay out, so we immediately tried to shift his focus from staring at the bottom of the boat. Just our luck, a rigger fired and we put it in his hands. This seemed to take his mind off how he was feeling. It also helped that we got into the fish about this time and proceded to deck load the boat. After an hour flurry we had 9 fish in the box.
Most of these fish came on Sliver Horde green myler and blue myler plugs. These 2 baits went a combined 8 times! Here is Tom with a 10lb king that hit the Silver Horde blue myler plug.

Our next hot ticket was an 11" Pro Troll double pearl flasher with a Siggs Rigs Green Mist trophy fly. This set up on a wire diver put 5 fish in our box. The diver with a mag ring was set on #3. We took a couple of fish with 250' of wire out, and 3 more with 300' of wire out. He is Tom doing battle on a wire diver with this set up.

Here is the end result of a 15 minute battle with a 17lb king. This fish hit hard on the wire diver and ripped off a quick 150' of wire! After several more long runs we finally managed to boat her.

This is Kevin, Rich, Tyler, and Tom and our catch. 10 chinook, 1 coho, and 2 lake trout.

Key notes!!!!!
We fished 110-130FOW
The temp at 80' down was 64 degrees.
The temp at 90' down was 54 degrees.
The temp at 100' down was 49 degrees.
Riggers set at 90, 100, 110 were consistant producers
Wire divers with a mag ring set on #3 with 250' and 300' of wire out.
Full core with 4oz dive bombs. We boxed 2 fish with this set up and had Silver Horde plugs(1 green myler and 1 blue myler) on these.

Good Luck!

Nice job Joe. Never to young to go fishing!
-
What time did you fish from?
-
Welcome aboard Al! I had my first expierence at walleye fishing in June of this year with Priority1. It was fun catching them, but they do not compare to the fight of a big king.
If you need anything, let out a yell!
