Thanks again for the information and think tank.

Arrrgh - You guys aren't helping me spend money! : )
SuperD is right on that I would really only use them for a month when flat lining and I do like the light setup of not having a LC on the...
SuperDave -
Thanks for the suggestion. The AccuDepth ICV15 was in the final running on my list of (Gear Ratio / Line capacity / Bearings / Weight) - yes I get a bit anal in gear selection! I...
I'm looking at switching 2 of my kokanee reels over to right hand operators with line counters. I currently have 2 tica caimans that I really like but I'm the only person that is "lefty lover" on my...
Hey thanks DB! This is a whole new game for me. Sounds like I'm at least equipped properly - Lowrance, downriggers and hoochies. I should be able to find them on the fish TV and have the ability...
No reports yet??? Alright I actually have know idea when this fishery starts up but I guarantee a full report from my first trip to this lake ever March 4-6. Mainly targeting C&R bull trout but...
SuperD - That looks like a very good option. I thought I was doing good trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. Instead I got a pain in the butt from it. I have bench seats so I think a little...
Oh yeah - In response to your thread other than pulling maintenance on my outboards I only have trying to figure out a step stool / lead storage solution for my boat. When I sit on the transom to...
Looks like a great solution. My length of chain is rubber coated but I don't that will last very long before it starts breaking down and crumbling over the deck. Where would one get that stuff you...
I will ask for forgiveness for my ignorance up front but what are those tasty lil buggers?
Awesome report and fishing! Thanks for sharing the video - I need to work on my editing abilities a bit more you have a much better presentation.
I've seen discussions on this before and had the same question myself. The general theme seemed to be that no one has tried it but no one knows why it wouldn't work. I can generally find and catch...
Nicely done! I love the boat name.
I will echo TrophyBoats sentiments - walleye is probably some of the best freshwater white meat fish. Love 'em
I hope your good fishing continues
Just a late post I think - not a big secret.
I haven't been up there yet but from most reports it sounds like 10-20 feet is the way to go. I love running my downriggers but last year early I had...
Your sling blades and hoochies should be a good start. They seem to be popular. I can't figure out why I don't have much success with them while others do so well.
I am apparently a spinner...
You will probably stand out but........ what kind of driftboat are you in? If you see a white Hewescraft with a gray top and a silly name like Voodoo 13 on the side I will be glad to tell you what...
Regular old pipe insulation works for me. Although I will admit the colored stuff is pretty cool looking. I think the pool noodles material is a bit more durable as well. I may have to switch out...
I will be staying one of the nights I think........ Depending on start time on Saturday I may stay over somewhere on Friday night. If I decide to make the drive Saturday morning I'm thinking I may...
Vancouver Chapter of Southwest Washington Steelheaders put on a WW fishing trip on 3-24-12. I had the pleasure of being involved with it. I believe they had 40 vets come down. They had about 20...
I'm in as long as I can get the day off work or work a trade with someone at work. I can take 2 as the wife will want to be involved as well. Never fish American lake but have talked about it and...
I bonk and bleed in the boat. Sometimes use the washdown pump hose to spray most of the scales off in the fish box. In to the cooler until return home.
I do follow through with the scrub brush...
Ohhh that hit home for me! I was busted this summer up there when my wife us up front steering from the console and I was "re-rigging" a rod. She apparently noticed I was not doing much rigging and...
When I first started I used larger blades because I figured bigger was better. Thought they would see and feel (blade vibration) more. After a few years I decided that was a very big spinner for...
Red Hook - I had my Cannon Mag 5's mounted on my Lund (similar to Crestline setup) a few years back. My gunnel had a piece of 1/2" marine plywood under it that I mounted straight through. If I...
I'm with DLM - I'm a P-line guy. I think there is 8 lb on my reels right now but not completely sure. If not it's 10 lb.
I'm no line expert but it just seems to "behave" better than the...
