Same program ive been running. Set lines at 7:00 AM, back at the dock at 9 AM with our 15. Tossed back another 3 pulling lines. Got some BIG cats too.

GGRRR:mad::mad::angry2::no::(:(

Not yet Mike....My Dads gonna do it tomorrow....Im going fishing again... We did get a chance to talk to an Evenrude/Johnson Tech though and he said its one of three things. Fuel filter on motor, vaccuum line and diaphram...in that order....So, in saying that, i dont foresee it to be a tough fix....Knock on wood, fingers and toes crossed etc etc...If you wanna wish us some luck we'll take that too.

A little!!!!:eek:

Nice job Dan...Get that camera figured out yet?

Got a call from some friends from Grand Rapids who wanted to fish over here for walleye. They had never trolled for anything ont he big water and asked for a list of all the things they needed. So, as requested, i sent him a list. Within 2 minutes of emailing the list he called me and asked if he could come fish with us. ...So, i said of course. So, Craig and Brian met us at the marina early this morning. We headed out early knowing the weather was going to be hot with no wind. So, we wanted to get out and get the jump on em before the sun got to high and shut things down. As we hoped we pounced on em as soon as we got lines in. It wasnt long and we had 12 in the box, then things started to slow down. We picked away at them for a bit and then things picked back up again. In short order we boxed our 20 legal fish and tossing back another 10 legal and probably a half dozen or so sub-legal fish. After that we had had more than our fair share of fun and more than i wanted of those damn knats!!! Other than the knats, it was a great day on the water. I think i have a couple of hardened bass nuts converted to walleye now. To end the day we headed over to camp to meet my buddies Mike and Jeff. We ended up having a hell of a cook out. It encluded fresh walleye tacos, jalepeno poppers, cheese broccoli bites, onion rings and hush puppies. We ate like kings. Awesome day, couldnt ask for anything more. Fished in 28' of water. 1 oz. inlines 40' back. Purple beads with Purple/silver blades. Chart. Beads w/parrot circus freak blades took the fish. Speed around 1.3 seemed best, although we did allot of speeding up and slowing down to trigger strikes when things slowed a bit. So, after yesterdays great fishing they decided to stay the night and fish again today. So, we head out this morning, get a couple of miles and an alarm on the main engine goes off. It was the check engine light. So, we shut down, check everything out and cant seem to find anything amiss. So, i get he book out and read up some on it. Says the fuel filter is plugged....Only thing that bothers me about that is the motor has no signs of lack of fuel. Doesnt run rough or chug or anything. I have a feeling its the filter on the motor, if thats the problem, because my fuel line runs through a fuel/water seperator and then T's off to my four stroke kicker and then my main engine. Kicker runs like a champ. So, im hopeful that he filter on the main motor is just a bit clogged and that its not letting enough fuel through for the sensors liking....We'll, see. I cringe at the thought of marine parts or labor...Theyre always alotta $$$$$!!! Fished where we stopped. Made a 3 mile pass, landed 9 walleye, 7 legal and about 6 sheephead....Really dissapointing day out there, considering my buddy ran all the way there and was boxed out by 8:45 am with a 4 man limit...Said it was phenominal fishing. Fished in 20-24' of water. Fish were scattered, got em on leads from 20-40' back. Chart/Green beads w/silver blades. Speed, 1.0 was best for us today, not that we did that great. What a difference fishing 9 miles from your spot can make. Will post some pics and vid when i get it uploaded.

yeah, we need to plan a trip soon...I got the bug bad...Been beating up these walleye, i need to hook a fish that knows how to swim!!!

I run slide divers,#1's and Mags. Depends on how deep the fish are. When im fishing high in the water column i like the slide divers cause i can get away from the boat a bit with the longer leads between the diver and the bait of choice.

I built my own release with some 1/8 aluminum welding rod, and use rubberbands, but im thinking about trying the blacks myself. Man does that get great reviews. Would be nice to not have to worry about rubber bands in general, along with them breaking when fishing really deep. They seem to toughen up when fished real deep. Ive also read quite a bit about the Chamberlain release as well and it gets rave reviews. Even finer tune adjustments then the blacks. Has both rod tension and fish tension adjustments. Blacks seem to run about $9.99 each and the chamberlain about $21.99 each.

Nice job out there. Its not always about how many you catch. Sounds like you and your young crew had a blast, and thats what matters most.

Sounds like a great time to me.

As usual, nice work out there Jay. Gotta get over there with you one of these days.

Thanks for the report...Nice work out there during some tough times.

WTG Ed

Nice job out there Robert.

Gotta love those steel...Theyre fun while they last and even better when you get em in the boat.

Nice work Frank

Indybeck, looks like a fantastic day on the water. Looks like you and the boys had some fun. A late Happy Fathers day to you and all the Dads.

Sorry to hear that Larry. Must be some bad mojo going around. Just read a report on another site about a missing lower unit, sonar etc. in Linwood.

I just hook up my USB cable to my computer and camera. Upload all the pics/vids to the my pics folder or my choosing. Then i upload them to www.photobucket.com To post them in the forum copy and paste the code in your post where you want it to appear...Super easy. Never dealt with you tube. Im heading out tomorrow, maybe ill shoot some video and try to upload it there. Didnt go out today. Got side tracked, you know how that goes...Ended up at the marina though and B.S.ed with some good friends for the afternoon. Now, its time for baby back ribs!

Heres the weights i use when i troll walleye with inline weights. Lead weights work well too, i just like the idea of some added attractant. These give off a ton of flash. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_42748_100010003_100000000_100010000?cmCat=CROSSSELL_SEARCH

We were going to do some work on a deck today, but my buddy Mike just called and two passes later they are limited....Got an 8# hog as well....So, i think a fishing we will go instead!

Awesome....Glad you enjoyed your time on the bay...Nice work out there.

Hey Capt. Dave. Those values that you speak of run true on this site...One of the very best on the net without a doubt...NO B.S., just fishing!

Outstanding...Congrats on a great day..and what a beautiful day it was out there.
