went out of p.s. sat. mourning and went 8 for way to many,18 0r 19 we lost count . The first 2 hours were all spoons 40 and 50 down in 60 to 85 fow then we worked out to 130 fow ,glow fire dog,killer green glow and NBK jp slammers, then later the white dodger and green flie program started up accounting for 4 fish.what a great day of fishing we could have been done at 8:30 with 6 kings and a coho but we released a small king and fished for a while longer and picked up another coho and called it a day.

Line dancin here are some of the best, Carmel dolphin,orange high ball,coyote ugly,NBK,and Beef eater.some other of my fav,s are killer green glow,orange crush,JJ Special,and MI. sunset. they all have there day but these are the ones I will run almost every time out. Hope this helps. Run them from 2.3 to 3.00 mph at the ball. with them behind the rigger 20 to 30 ft. run the oranges on 3,5,and full cores.Thanks for your bussiness. Jimmy vb

we went out of P.S. this morning for the holland steelheaders mens tourney.We went 7 for 10 with 5 nice kings 1 laketrout 10.88lbs and 1 steelhead. we fished 50 to 75 fow near bottom.We got fish on riggers with mi. sunset ,NBK,and orange highball JP Slammers and fish on 5 color with orange highball,also got hits on wire dipsies 110 back with green e chips and green fern flies.I had a broken wire on my fish hawk probe so i fished without speed and temp at the ball.We came in 4th place in the tourney and had the largest trout.The biggest king was 18+lbs with two others within ounces of the biggest one.the winning boat( wet dreams) had ten fish and they had the biggest king as well so they had a great day, thanks to all who organized the tourney,well done. Jimmy

Thanks to Jeff for the call this is the first time ive fished in Oct. and i think next year i may just leave my boat unwinterized for a little longer.

I went to fish point for the duck and goose opener last weekend ,We got 10 geese and 13 ducks off the same feild in two days.We also hunted the refuge on a 32 out of 34 draw for the youth hunt. We stayed in the heat all day and had a good hour and a half of good duck hunting we got 8 ducks with our young man of 11 yrs getting two malard drakes.It was very hot and buggy all weekend I wish I was still there becouse the weather is going to change and it's going to be awsome!There is a lot of ducks malards,teal,pintail and woodies.Also a very good number of geese ,most of what we got where big honkers.

Hey any of you other waterfowlers get out for the early goose opener? I chose to hunt instead of fish that mournig and called 5 geese in shot 2 then comback called the 3 back and shot a third.I had wing shot the second bird and by the time i got to look for it he had run into some very nasty thick crap and I looked hi and low for him but didnt find it.The other birds both had leg bands! so I looked some more for the cripple but could not find him:(

I went out Sat. on the 5 d's couse my boat wasnt running.We took a young man and his father out that had won the trip in a raffle at american tackles kid fishing camp this summer. we went 3 for 6 in 100 to 110 fow.We found 52 deg. water down 90 foot and that was the first cold water we had found from 45 fow out.However we got the fish all around 65 down, blue bubble setup,white and green spinny with oceana flie , and a custom half and half JP Slammer spoon all took fish.We quit around 9:30 becouse the father got sea sick and was chuming:( all in all they seemed to have a good time I think its great that Harold is doing the fishing camp for the kids as they are the future of our sport.

went 4 for 9 last night in 60 fow . white w green e chip flasher w /wild fern flie on copper took one,coyote ugly ,and killer pickle jp slammer on riggers25 and 35 down took fish and green glow j plug 45 down on rigger took a fish.At dark glow blooby nose moonshine and killer green glow jp slammer also got hits.the water temps are not that cold from 35 to 60 fow the temp was about 56 deg down by bottom but the fish are there .good luck to all who will be in the gold coast tourney this weekend i will be out of town and cant fish:( and thanks to all who entered for the jp slammer big fish pot good luck guys! Jimmy VB

I like my Jp slammers and also moonshine spoons,but have used a lot of dream weavers before we had our own stuff.we hope to have better glow patterns for the 08 season.

HI guys, I didnt fish Sat. mourn. I had family commitements .I did go for a couple of hours Sun. eve in the rain but didnt do well ,we where only 1 for 2 in 90 fow. The fish seem to be very scattered and there is a strange current out there .The water in 90 foot had 44 deg. at 50 down and the water in 35 had 58 deg at the bottom. So we fished out. after fishing we talked to a guy who was 3 for 4 in 60 fow. Say hi on the lake some time if im on fish i will always share info. Jimmy vb aka jimbobber:)
