Is the algae still bad? Can't wait to get out myself. Little league will cut down my already hard to find fishing days, but it's worth it. Maybe season will start late and finish late unlike last...

One more thing if it hasn't been said is to set bottom depth range to manual and set it to 200 or what's appropriate. I do this anyway and then manually zoom to my target fishing depth range (eg 30,...
Nice going SD. With the holiday I'd expect the lake to be pretty empty. Like a week day on a weekend. Great day to go. Maybe next weekend for me? I hope.
Are there two types of merc kickers? (e.g. Pro kicker vs. reg .9.9 hp outboard).
Man you guys have some amazing rides! I gotta step it up!
I had a can of good ol McGuires carnauba out the other day and decided to polish up a dodger. Wow. What a shine. Only concern is potential odor from wax. Odor was mild. Maybe it will wear off...
Very nice.
I recently did the job and pretty much did what smokepoles described. Only addition was I went to home depot and bought the brown pressure treated wood cuz their selection of fir was poor. I...
Braid is not for kokes cuz there is no stretch like mono. Seems like you are off to a great start and just need to fine tune as SD stated. This takes time on the water. It's like chess it's fairly...
I am so sorry for you and your family.
Beautiful trout!
Can't go wrong with either!
and a hoochie mama is when you add a spinner blade up front!thumbsup
Setting the depth alarm is good advise. Zip ties make cheap break-aways/ isolators, and their breaking strength is usually on the package.
Thanks for the report 14 on these units I checked them on the net. They seemed interesting, but along with ur observation not sure bout the thought of the alarm going off combined with the cost per...
Mr mike is referring to oil bath hubs. They have a clear plastic window to visually ck oil levels whenever. They use oil vs grease. General consensus seems positive. I still have grease bearings/...
14- you got our curiosity up. What kind are they? I like the idea and have tried a few production bells, and have made my own from alligator clips/bells, but if you forget them or can't get it off...
I BBQ 95% of my kokes and like cooking them whole. My typical routine when I catch one is to bleed 10 or so minutes on a stinger, then gut, bag, and ice. When I get home I rinse and finish cleaning...
Water? I think we should assume the first bearing service was completely bloched. Bearing and hub cleaning bloched, rear seals bloched, bearing inspection bloched, bearing repack bloched, care to...
Hey Spec,
Speed wise. 1.3-1.5 mph is generally considered the normal range for kokes. Definately go up or down from there to find the bite. If your using slingblade type dodgers exclusively you...
Wow. U guys are catching some quality fish. The male looks like a highly pregnant female.
You'll see that first you learn to tie the knots.
Then you start finding little tricks to make tying them easier, more repeatable, and faster.
At the onset of each new season (when I tend to tie...
if you go manual I would stick to the Cannons because of the way they rotate and ease of use. The easy troll has a nice line counter and quicker retrieve. I got one and like it. I also have a mini...
Are you looking at the 15 or 17' model? Brand new or used?
Gregors are well known for being quality boats in the class. It could make a great trolling boat. Smaller boat = smaller engine =...
I got a mini mag, but not sure about the grease. I would call Cannon direct to be sure. Another option is Fishermans wearhouse in Sacramento, CA which is a factory service center. Ask for the guy...
