  1. Just try and keep it clean of wash as much as possible but really they incredibly picky I would try to separate it from other transducers but not life or death or and I know this probably goes without saying but somewhat close to the rigger u plan on using.
  2. We ran 2 300' 45lbs rods last year with decent results so this year I picked up some more blood run 45lbs to make up 150,200, and 250 rods Im just trying to figure out which of my reels to put the smaller sections of copper on.
  3. Had a fish take a TX-44 board straight down last year with a RV Flounder Pounder attached to 300' copper. After alot of screaming line and sticking the rod as far down in the water as I could the board came shooting up about 4' out of the water I reeled it in only to find the snap had straightened out. Point of this story is they do attract big fish! Green Flounder Pounder and Mongolian Beef probably our favorites.
  4. Up for sale are two Okuma Blue Diamond wireline roller rods 8'6". One is one season old and the other is three seasons old. I am switching to 10' so these are extra on my boat. I am asking $90 for the pair plus shipping. They will be shipped from Ludington, MI.
  5. I thought it was good yeah it wasn't huge but most of the big hitters were there and got some good face time with some pretty knowledgeable folks. I was more or less using it as a scouting tool for the GR show but still got some good deals. Quality show with proceeds going to a good cause.
  6. You said run faster at what speed are trolling and is it SOG or off probe
  7. We have a 26' sport fisherman with tunnel drive. The drive takes a lot of getting used to bit nice with the low water levels in some marinas. The boat itself is super solid in my opinion great quality.
  8. Had a couple braid high diver set ups put together last year and could not get them to produce at all not once! I used 50lbs power pro black I think on 10' gander mtn dipsy rods with convector 45's. Is this set up OK and it seemed like I was tangled with my low divers more often then not. I use wire on low divers set on 1.5 mag diver and high braid at 3 mag diver. In which order should I deploy them? Are those good settings andopen to any suggestions on how to make these produce. I did eventually switch to four wire divers with better luck but don't want to give up on this tactic quite yet.
  9. Hi fellas, Looking for some help on targeting lake trout. My crew and I have had trouble picking up Lakers all season only boating one I believe. My first guess is that we are going to fast I understand that but what are some quality presentations we can use to finally start to get ahold of this species. Thanks

  15. Finally got em painted now just lookin to add some spreader lights to the top.
  16. Hit the water from 6:30 til 11 am going 7 for 7 in 180 - 300 fow from the 15s to the 13s. 4 came on riggers down 80-120 one meat and 3 on flies. Wire dievers back 200,180,150 on 1.5 with meat. Everything today came on UV.
  17. So how did you end putting it together? Just like you said previously? I have really been considering doing this for my trophy W/A Im jsut not sure how to construct the actual hard top.
  18. I didnt know you could that much on a 45 how much backer do you get stuffed in there? If it does fit I will just use my 45s for 300 and smaller save some money.
  19. I let out five colors and attach the dive bomb on a full core then just take it off like a planer board on the way in. I figure that will leave enough line to keep that stealthy whip. I would guess that I would run it back 150' on a 300' copper for the same reason. As for Manistee's First Street launch I have been concerned with the new setup for a couple months now and Im not looking forward to the traffic jams coming later this year. Hopefully everyone launching will realize that we are all in the same boat (no pun intended) and don't take it out on the other anglers.
  20. Got out just a touch late but wtihin 2 minutes of setting the first couple lines took a 14lbs King on a wire diver set 115' back on smurf suv meat combo. Took another hit on the same setup back 150' but had a drag issue and left that fish for someone else to catch. Ended the day with another 15lbs king on a full core with a 2oz dive bomb and a spoon. Marked a nice bait pod when we were fighting the last fish in 130' fow 80' feet down but had no chance to fish it with the half hour fight and building seas. Went 2 for 4 in limited time with the late start and wind building.
  21. It will hold up just fine. The trick is making sure you protect those items with machined tolerances. Just like anything else if you take care of it it will last.
