  1. With work, Kids, and busy lives, we mainly fish the afternoon bite. In the past when the sun went down we would pull rods and head in (not that we wanted to, we just stopped getting fish). Last year with the help of others and experimenting, we came up with a night program for Kings. Often we would find kings in 80 to 120 fow during the afternoon, but as the sun was setting we will start switching lures and Flasher/Fly’s out for Moon Shine extended Glows. (I’ve tested all my glows against them and nothing compares to there longevity). I even pull my Dippseys/flasher/fly in and replace it with a Dippsey/glow spoon. When the sun hits the water get ready! Shortly after the sun sinks below the Horizon, it’s time to start working you way in towards shallower water. Start raising your rigs up also. Fish that where previously 60’ down, will rise to the top 40 fow. We start pulling rods when we get back in to 40-50 fow. Lots of lights in the boat is a must for fishing after dark..

    On one trip to Port Sheldon last year, we where 2 for 3 after 2.5 hours of fishing. We switched over to this program, and very shortly there after we had 4 fish on with only 6 poles out (the fifth pole went off after netting the 4 and had to be released). On a different trip at Whitehall we got fish on this program as late as 1.5 hours after dark and as shallow as 40 fow.

    This type of program works in reverse if you fish the pre dawn bite.

    This is meant for the guys that struggle to get fish in low light, as we did for many years.

    I never had much luck with the Moonshine lures until I learned how to use them.

    Thanks,

  2. Like said above some gms can be shut off by pushing the dome override button 3 times. This works on my 2001 Taho. I also have a 99 S10 and a 2002 silverado that it doesn't work on. Both of those if you push the E Brake in a click or two before starting they will not come on. I have been told if your truck was made in Canada the the dome override button will not work.

    Here's a site thats all GM truck related.

  3. I don't know if it makes any difference but, I always take extra care to not touch the lure any more than I have to (Mostly touch the sides when putting on). I also try not to get gas on the way to fishing. When un hooking fish I like to use the Needle Nose pliers.

  4. Just a reminder about this. They have a lot of GREAT prices on all of their salmon fishing merchandise.

    Church walleye boards $17.99 ea.

    Hot-N-Tots $2.99 ea. These are 1/4oz size with metal bills.

    I will be at the show all day on Saturday. Stop by and say "Hi".

    Mike, thats a great price on the Church boards. Will they be offered for that price at the Grand Rapids show next weekend?

  5. im going to order a new temp speed this year as well,i have the old big jon multi troll,works but seems to cut out alot more than it use to, im gonna go with the sub troll 900 by moor i think, cannon has alot of options and the depth raider is also a good unit,but the more i read the accuracy of the sub troll is for me, congardulations on your new purchase nailer its a nice peice of the fish catching puzzle,,in spring i down size lure size and do what i call the lazy S if your getting bites on the inside turn of the S i slow down a tad if they are hitting on the outside on the turn i speed up, good luck

    Joe, If you get a new unit and the old one still works somewhat, I have a cousin that would like to have one. If you interested in selling it let me know.
