  1. Gonna have to show my ignorance and ask where that is…
  2. I prefer a stiff wind in my 14’. Trolling with the wind is the poor man’s autopilot. I run all my rods on one side of the boat if possible - port as that’s the side I’m facing - to make them easier to watch and to leave the other side open to play/land fish, if they play nice however larger kings and steel sometimes disregard my best inputs to convince them where they should go.
  3. Streams are blown out around me in Holland. Lake Mac is chocolate milk. Had lunch, at the launch I usually use, on Monday and the water was up 6” from two weeks ago but still a foot plus down from last fall. Like dry ground where the boat is usually floating off the trailer.
  4. Last November channel in PS was ok (granted that could change) but I cut a bit too far north and found the bottom in Pigeon Lake proper. Made sure to hug the island to the south when we came back in.
  5. I know deep diving stick baits can overpower small divers. I would think the ring can only help…
  6. Or your crew doesn’t put the line behind the pin. Or the split ring the release is on opens up. Or the screw eyes works out of the board…
  7. I’ve been having problems with picking up green slime while trolling near the bottom or in shallow. That can bugger up the best of swivels.
  8. Here’s what the pump couldn’t clear out. I think we had four waves in a row wash the bow lights.
  9. Got out late, launched as JDH came in and got the crap kicked out of us. Before we tucked tail and limped back into port we were 3/4 with two steel and a laker and lost another steel.
  10. I ran ten rods out of a 14’ with an eight and seven year old in the crew. Second fish was a 8# brown. That got interesting but the youngest crew landed it.
  11. Man remember when it was two rods each? Rigger and planer board per side or two boards per side? Choices…
  12. Big Papa bags.
  13. Glad he didn’t yank you overboard. Can’t be too careful when fishing alone especially this time of year.
  14. Empty stomach. How? The bait was still there not as much but plenty.
