DIRTY DOG

great job matt, and peter you'll get another chance and like adam said great job on the follow up!

the new launch site is realy nice , the only thing i wish they would have done is put a two spot launch in. also your right, that lake gets very busy in the summer. i fish there once or twice a week in summer.

Adam said it all, a pair of rigger rods around 8ft with your 209's, a pair of divers with 30#braid, Diawa Heart Land series are what I use they are reasonably priced with line counter reels and 2 to 4 core rods, I would use 5, 7, 10 and 12 color cores. Also, if I have a crew of 3 I run a 9 rod spread of 2 riggers, 2 braid divers and 5 cores Like Jim said the size of your boat kinda determines the length of your rods. If you have a open boat with a lot of room in the back I would use 10' diver rods and 9 footers for your cores.Or if you're limited on space 8 or 9 foot divers and 7 foot core rods.

well did this ever feel odd, not to be deer hunting on the gun opener. anyhow i left the launch around 9:30 and went looking for gills , but could not find a thing so i switched over to crappies and took 19 nice ones in the 9 to about 13 inch range. they where in a winter pattern in 20 to 25 fow in the middle of the lake. what worked was slow trolling minnows deep, becouse the fish where from 15' to 20down ,the surface temp was 43 to 44 degrees. man this was fun , becouse if the where on the screen they would BITE , kinda like watching the vexlar in the winter. sorry no pic. ,but i can say they were TASTY:D

great job as always dan!
