  3. Awesome! I want to try this so bad. Great video man.
  4. For holland data text "45029" without the quotes to 734-418-7299
  5. If you talking about in line planers.... let all of the lead out, plus 10 feet of backer. Then attach your board and let her go back to where you want. Set your drag so that it just barely holds, or even clicks once in a while. When a fish hits it will screaaam. Now i dont have my boards set to release, just personal preference. I point the rod tip down and reel it in. if the board dives, back off and let it come back to the surface.
  6. 7 color and get yourself some dive bombs.
  7. Looks like the fish are setting up! great news
  8. thanks for the report. Finally some july fishing.
  9. Looks like the fish found a camping spot for now. good to hear.
  10. the skams have "tubes" in their tails that normal steelies dont. hard to tell unless someone shows you, but its just about the only way to tell besides body shape on bigger ones.
  11. Im interested in 1 of the leadcore setups if its still available after friday.
  12. Fished 5 - 10pm Ended up 7 for 9. Started a few miles north and ran a south troll thru 75-90 FOW. Took 2 skams and a small king. Then plowed back north as the fish dried up and tried 90 - 120 south again. Tons of huge bait balls and fish marks in 110-120 and stayed there the rest of the nite. Was only 3 for 4 until the last hour when they turned on big time. Less then 5 minutes after i put flounder pounder on the diver it went, put another one on the rigger and it went twice in 15 minutes. Was pulling lines and had the board of the 200' copper halfway to the boat when a fish ripped it! Rigger set 65 - moonshine RV green flounder pounder took 2 hits, 6lb king and 17lb king. Dipsy set 1.5 back 135 - moonshine green flounder pounder. 8 pound king. Rigger set 50 - 10in blue/uv spin doctor w/ siggs riggs powder hypnotist. 7 pound king. Dipsy set 1.5 back 165 - 8 in pro troll green dots w/ rapture frosted fern. large skam, and lost a screamer that broke the fly leader. Full core - stinger steelie stomper. 1 skam. 200' 32lb copper - dreamweaver 4d green w/ orange ladderback. 8 lb king. Rigger set 65 - mag silver streak blue chilly willy. Miss Rough but worth it! 75-90 held mostly skams, 120 held kings. Skams were full of bait, kings mostly empty stomachs.
  13. was out late last nite. waster temps still 78 at pierheads. holland.
  14. i just saw this and im a bit upset. actually im REALLY mad. its beautiful out there. but small craft advisory starts at 11am. damnit.
  15. ive tried different speed beads and came to the conclusion i dont like my boards releasing.
  16. Im about the same as pauly. Ive had major success with flasher off all sizes 10 - 15ft behind the ball. Same with meat rigs. spoons i run 60-100 foot back
  17. Hey guys, thats the nearshore forecast. most of the time your fishing offshore, which reads TONIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS 15 TO 25 KT WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 30 KT EARLY BECOMING NORTHWEST 10 TO 15 KT. CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING...THEN SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AFTER MIDNIGHT. WAVES 4 TO 6 FT OCCASIONALLY TO 9 FT SUBSIDING TO 1 TO 3 FT LATE. SATURDAY NORTH WINDS 10 TO 15 KT EARLY INCREASING TO 15 TO 25 KT WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 30 KT. WAVES BUILDING TO 4 TO 6 FT OCCASIONALLY TO 9 FT. most guys say "noaa is terrible this isnt anything like the forecast" i hear it all the time on the radio. Thats because the offshore tells the real story. Thats just my 2 cents. Im goin to play it safe and stay home.
  18. im waiting for the late forcast to be sure but as of right now im out.
  19. Looks like its pickin up! Thanks for the info and nice job

    Hook ups

    SHARPEN THEM HOOKS! No really! everytime its out of the water sharpen it. Whats that? you got a new hook? SHARPEN IT. common mistake is thinkin they are sharp out of the box. other then that, keeping tension and hopin for the best is about all you can do. sometimes they short strike or just wack at the head.
  21. thanks for the tip about storing them. saved me a headache im sure.
  22. I know its still early but the latest forecast for saturday doesn't look good. SATURDAY NORTH WINDS 15 TO 25 KT. WAVES BUILDING TO 3 TO 5 FT OCCASIONALLY TO 8 FT.
  23. its definitely not that hooker that i wasn't with last Tuesday. Nope. definitely not.
  24. gps/graph would be the first on my list. and dont feel bad about no copper and only running braid. i ran a 4 rod spread for 2 years and did pretty darn good.
