Tad Pole

just wanted to freshen this up and let people know i'm still looking!

:yahoo:ONLY ONE MORE TO GO!!!

looking for a good pair of down riggers,we would prefer big john as we already have two but any at a good price would be considered. Thank You

looks like a good bait action day!!i'm thinking a north or south troll might be the most fun!!

we fished that weekend as well we fished both north and south,in the north we had luck in the 175 fow area useing moonshine lures fished north thur. night and friday morning, on a hunch we went south friday night again in that 175 fow range took 6 in short order,saturday morning we went south for the fishdog tourny and took 8 kings and 1 hoho in the same area on pickle j-plug and moonshine lures the bite turned OFF at 9:00 am went out again in the evening and took 3 more in the south 10's to 12's 165 to 195 fow,packed up and headed home after that as the forcast was for 4-5 footers sunday morning... all in all a excellent weekend

40 Miles One Way!

gonna be fishing manistee thur. aftyernoon untill sunday morning!!! gonna be a blast!

a pluged tank vent can cause the same thing,remove the cap and see if it will run

the 1st event really took the wind outta our sails as well but still gonna give them top guys something to worry about!!!

c'mon in and join in the madness,don't worry bout them (dumb questions)it will take some of the pressure off me:friends:

i have been watching the web cam for muskegon today, and there have been a ton of sailboats all over the mouth of the channel,i wonder was there a derby today?i'm sure tomorrow will be even crazier becouse the weather is forcast to be much nicer than it was today! Tag your it!

how do you get the animated cams?

ya think we got it tough?check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDQ1GAZZk6E&mode=related&search=

not sure who that is in the fore ground of the sunset pic, might be Fish-On

My son with his fish the ol' Tad Pole at the house before we left Sunset was awesome By the way we need to get our trailer fixed up who knows somebody who is good at that stuff but reasonable??

I was out there as well, in the p.m. we started off real slow,like 3 hours with nothing,then about a half hour before sunset things started to happen,we took a nice king in 115 fow on a north troll with a bloody nose glow spoon 50 down on a rigger,lost another nice one about 20 ft behind the boat on a 2 tone yellow glow spoon(don't know the name)took another small coho on the bloody nose again and we had a few more knock offs went 2 for 5 in bout a hour,as the lead cores have been dead we didn't run any and it was rough anyway,the dipseys took one hit but nobody home.

I believe someone had the camera backwards

three dipsey rods would probly be the least expensive way,but you will need some sturdy rod holders to run them. make sure you understand the lake and have all the required saftey equipment before you venture out,i want to see everyone have fun and catch fish but we all want to see ya at the launch braggin bout it.

good job! fishing solo i hope ya tossed a few of them fishies back in!?

it was thursday night,wanna tell ya guys that was a blast we only had a couple hours with the weather and all and it was crazy from set up to pulling out

OK i have a Lowrance x515c df fish finder i am also lead to believe this is a good (quality) unit one thing i have yet to see on it is a thermocline,OK now i have a few questions. 1. is it possible that i don't know what I'm looking for or will it be obvious? 2.is the unit capable of seeing a thermocline? 3.do i have it set right?and typically what are the settings to be able to see a thermocline? any help with this will be a great help thanks

Had this trip planned for a couple weeks my son wanted to take 2 of his friends out,so despite not so favorable weather report we loaded up and headed to the lake,when we got there the Sky's were overcast like it had been all day but it was calm so we launched motored threw the channel and got to the end of the piers and started to motor out to 70 fow at 60 fow three lightning bolt hit the water strait out from us, well we pulled a U-turn and by the time we got back to the pier head it was pouring, got back to pigeon lake and decided to see what was gonna happen so we sat under the top and watched it rain for about a half hour,then it stopped raining we were listening to the weather radio and it didn't sound too good but the boys were crushed so we said OK one more try.headed out once more,you wouldn't have know that a pretty nasty little squall had just passed threw. OK the rest is kinda fuzzy but I'll try to remember best i can.set up in 70 fow on a west troll,had both riggers down to 45 and 55 ft.bloody nose glow and a Kevorkian mag,set out a dipsey 150 back with a aqua man fly and blue spin doctor.turned around and the Kevorkian popped handed that off to Matt then the dipsey started screaming grabbed that and set it then handed it to Connor.turned to net Matt's fish 5lbs king,stuck the rod in the holder netted Connors fish 16.5 lbs king,now i have 1 rod down,reset those put down another dipsey with a green fly and green fish catcher,turned and the Kevorkian was bouncing again set that and handed it over to Tad,netted that fish probably bout a 10 lbs fish.from there i lose count but ya get the idea,the hot bait was the aqua man fly i think it took 5 fish,Kevorkian took a couple bloody nose with spots glow spoon took 3 i think,white glow fly took one, glow flounder pounder took 2 i think.confused on the numbers went 11-16 by the time it was done i had a heck of time keeping the lines in the water rick drove i set lines and netted the boys reeled them in.and the rods were still popping when we pulled the lines but we were seeing lightning on the horizon again and it was about 9:45,all considered it was one of the best fishing days we have had in a long time.oh all fish came in between 70 and 90 fow,lead core rods didn't take a single hit.most fish were 10 lbs+ and full bellies

ok couple questions, 1. does the hot wire from your key switch go to the power side of your coil,or does it go to a relay box that the goes to the hot side of the coil. 2. does the engine continue to run or does it "diesel" 3. ok last one are you sure that the switch you replaced was replaced with a good switch? I''ll look back tonight

you can install a in-line filter just before the carb in the fuel line if your boat doesn't already have one,you can get the at any parts store easy to install all you need is the filter cut the line and install in the line with hose clamps. many filters are very small and usually clear plastic or glass. one suggestion though buy 2 so you have a spare on board

here is the fishes
