GJ Schutlzs. I fished a lot of openers N. and S. of Immerman Park. Drifting with jigs, grub tails and crawlers. I have a rod and reel on the bottom of that river, not to mention a kazillion jigs. We would always drift from N. of Immerman, as far S. as M46. Our best was N. of State Street Bridge. I haven't fished the river in about 10 years. I do miss the fishing, but not the goat rope at the launches. I have a friend that has a place on the river, and opening weekend I would leave my boat there. That made fishing the opener a lot more fun. I did launch a few times opening morning.

WTG Rich and sons. That is Quality time.

WOW!!! WTG Tim. Celebrity status.

Good thread Storm.

Thanks Ray. After this cold front gets out of our way, I may try that tactic on the SB.

Did you notice how clear the water was. We made it out to 15 FOW and we could see bottom plain as day. The inner bay will shine until the water temps start coming up. I heard the night bite for the eyes is a little better.

She looks to be in VG condition. I like the 4REEL name. The flow is right for the 4REEL name. From UNREEL to 4REEL. Anyway congrats on the new ride.

I have never tried what you are suggesting, but If you allow the board to slide down to a speed bead or swivel bead you don't have to mess with a board until the fish is in the boat. Sometimes getting a board off mid fight is difficult, and can cost you a fish. This is especially true when you are short handed on the boat.

I use the tattle flag system on my walleye boards, so I have to take them off mid fight. I do however rig the same boards for salmon, without the tattle flag system in play. I use a snap around the line near the rear of the board. By releasing the front release with the snap of the rod the board slides down to a stop bead. Even running with tattle flags in play, If one of the outer boards gets a fish, I snap the rod to release the front release. The outside board is then allowed to go to the back of the boat before cranking the fish in.

I wanted to try casting sticks inside yesterday, but my fishing pal had something going on. My boat is tough for two people to cast from one side.

I had a similar experience a couple of days ago. NOT A HIT. Yesterday was a nice day to be on the water.

GJ Kevin. Any day on the water is GR8.

GJ SG. It's always nice to get that first trip behind you. I hope the radio is just something minor.

The Walleye fishing has got tough on the outer bay. Water clarity is unbelievable. My next Walleye trip will be to the inner bay. The outer bay will shine when the water boils in the inner bay.. I got a report Sun about the slow down, but I had to see for myself. I was in a friends boat and we never got a hit. We could easily see bottom in 15 FOW. We had temps as high as 57 in 6 FOW. There are some eyes being caught in the lower AuGres River. They are legal there because the river was artificially extended out into the bay.

Fantastic Mike. 7 for 11 are my kind of numbers. Sounds like a crap game.

WTG Kev. A great day to be out on the water.

Tom, The charge rate should be around 14-14.5V. Check it with a DC Voltmeter to make sure it's not a defective voltmeter on the dash. If that still reads the same you may need a new voltage regulator. Sometimes the voltage regulator is built into the alternator.
