    Thanks for sharing. I waited for the CO to choke on your last name. You needed to troll the channel in Holland ten years ago. Literally would see or hear hits on other boats before they did and we'd wrap the hot lures in a towel and throw them to our buddies as we passed each other going in and out without stopping.

    Need an intern?

    Tournament fishing lakers it's pretty much a full time gig at the stern on a calm day where you can maintain a constant depth. Throw in four foot waves, or a troll in / out where the depth changes...

    People think the mature kings are four years old. That ship sailed a long time ago and as the kings adapted to Lake Michigan most now run when they're 1-3 years old. Google search it for a ton of info.
  5. FBD
    98% of kings mature and run at 1-3 years of age.

    The ugly stik diver rods are absolute pool sticks. Not much action at all.

    How do you tell how old they are?

    You're going to need a bigger cooler.

    Menards $1 pliers, about 4-5 per boat. Spray the metal with cooking spray when they get gummy.

    Thanks for the report. Loved the details.

    What port, what fish, how deep is the water?
  12. FBD
    Sweet. Other than all those breakoffs. You know every one of those was a 30#

    I'm 4/6 on meetings this morning with a 10 am double on Ford Escape rear knuckle PPAP and GM C8 Corvette dimensional review. Missed the Daimler 8:20 and 9:30 You win.

    Trolling bags aren't drift socks aren't sea anchors. A trolling bag will typically be much heavier construction.
  15. FBD
    I can get 2.7 without bags, 2.2 with small bags running 900 rpm's in a 260 Hp 350, on a 21' glass cuddy. You should be fine on one motor. Not sure if you'd have to run one bag to offset the power coming from off the center line of the boat.

    I messed up. Slide divers are modular with weights. Dipsies you get what you buy for weights and would have to swap stuff around. Probably not worth it. Both you can equip with standard and magnum rings.
  17. FBD
    Yes, they will. I've run regular dipsies on M action Okumas and while they don't like it, they work. Adding a magnum weight to the diver will get some more depth without too much extra drag. The larger ring or mag diver will pull a lot harder, but get more depth too. I think magnum divers come with the heavier weight.
  18. FBD
    Magnum dipsies make sure you have heavy action or dipsy specific rods. They pull hard. Good rod holders I.e. not plastic are a must.
  19. FBD
    Sounds like you've done your research. I'd run the ones out the back at about a 0.5 setting and the ones off the side at about 1.5-2 to get some separation without sacrificing too much depth. Kings will destroy balsa baits.

    Improvise, Adapt, catch fish...

    Ten pounders are good, twelves are better. Shape is up for endless debate. I run 10# fish as they're easier to handle and store and don't roll around and track as well as 12# round balls. For spoons I like Offshore Medium tension downrigger releases. For attractors I run Blacks (actually Dubro brand's version) releases.
  22. FBD
    No. It seems if they don't hit the beach, they scatter all over the place, or you need to head way out to where the thermocline didn't move.
  23. FBD
    Broke yet? If not, try harder!
  24. FBD
    Run a higher temperature thermostat?
  25. FBD
    Fish shallower, higher in the water column, in warmer water than you'd expect. I've never done well just after dark but have caught them as early as 1:30 am.
