Do any of you use this for the various benefits they advertise (better hole shot, fuel economy, increased speed)? Please share any details pro or con
Headed up tomorrow morning. I'm running a Black & Tan SmokerCraft flying the Jolly Roger off the bow. Radio handle is SmokeOnTheWater or "Smoke" for short. Pull up along side unless you have a mutiny...
Staying at Buckboard or Lucerne A20?
Smoke will be back on the Gorge 4th of July week. Give me a shout over the radio if you need help or want to share your secrets. Should be on the water between Pipeline and Squaw Hollow most of the...
Thanks Downrigger for your clarification. I was told that I had to keep the cable tie along with the certificate onboard if I was ever checked on the water not just at launch. I've launched many...
Don't pass by the Boars Tusk without wetting a line! Always good smallie action and the bows come alive right before dark in that little side bay.
Guys
I asked a very similar question at the Port of Entry (Evanston) my last trip to the Gorge. The WGF representative that day stated that they will man the stations later on weekends and...
My Wife & I attempted an event such as this several years ago in conjunction with Utah's Free Fishing Day and it was worse than a flop. We did not have a single child or family show for the event. ...
Damn Rob, that thing got a shower on it too? Mind if I pull along side when you're serving a buffet? Good on ya!
The Gorge is a vast underwater area as you well know. I've never heard much discussion about chasing Kokes at the Gorge especially post spawn. I'm sure you could target them during the remaining...
COOL - Thanks for posting!
Must agree with the previous post. Those are my favorite go-to colors and give me the most confidence simply because they're proven winners.
Check and/or replace the fuel filter. With all the discussion of water in the ethanol fuel we buy it may be a clogged filter, water does not go through your filter element. Sounds to me like your...
Hi there Morkal 101welcomw
You ought to try the hard deck for kokes. It can be hot & furious action when the schools move through. Don't forget they're a bit territorial in nature too. I think...
What's the biggest koke you guys have pulled through the ice? I already provided my pics. The lake I ice fish doesn't grow big fish so I'd like to try a different lake this season that's even...
I just borrow the one from my boat. I can map prime locations and underwater structure on the internal GPS and then connect the unit to a portable battery and spare transducer and I'm ready for the...
My experience has proven that nothing other than your regular ice flies used for trout and panfish work just fine. Kokanee are schooling fish but that doesn't mean you troll around the lake drilling...
Hey Dan
When we last talked, we were going to get together at work for some good discussion. Now that I know what's going on in your life, I'm here to say you have your priorities in the right...
Looks like the easy way to pack it out. Is that the lower Bear?
Let's all hope for a GREAT ski season this winter so all the fish can get a drink! Easct Canyon is not the only place that's low because they're all suffering this year. Several motorheads running...
Thanks Smokepoles for the info. Now that this cooler & wetter weather has moved in, maybe the bite will change?
Mrs. Smoke & I are headed up for the week of the 8th-13th. Any pointers you care to share? I take a PM if you don't want to post to everyone? Wife's a fair weather fisherwoman so I hope the...
No, not this particular model but I have and still use many Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reels. All have excellent drag systems in my opinion. I really don't think you can go wrong.
