Lead core is usually sold in what is called a “full core” which is 10 colors of lead. Each color is 10 yards long and will sink about 5 ft at trolling speeds. Currently I am running 2 color rods which are backed by florocarbon or mono put on the reel 1st. I usually put 1-200 yards of line in 1st, th...

:o Cowboy, DA and myself launched early In The dark outta a launch on the northern part of the lake. There was 1/4”ice at the launch, and all 4 miles to our fishing grounds where the ice increased to a half inch in some spots. https://youtube.com/shorts/OnxGtukoCys?si=TMt5q4vpkYepfjEE We put about 8...

Thanks for updating this Ron. I checked my trailer and pointed this out to a couple other boats out that day and still no owner found.

The screw works loose after a few miles. Probably due to the rigger being over 20 years old and the screw hole is worn some.

I have old school Scotties and the covers like to blow Open at highway speeds. I use the line retrieves and wrap them over the covers and lock them down with 2 half hitches. I’ll show you next time I see you at launch. This has worked for 10 years for me… I’ll be launching Wed, just not certain wher...

Great day to share the lake Randy!! Good to see you guys out there. Was thinking of Sunday, but now looks like winter is returning:(

Now that I am retired, I may start fishing 2-4 times per week. I prefer to fish between Charlotte and Addison on the lake. I live north of there and each trip cost about $50 in gas. If I could have a place to keep my boat over night closer to fishing areas, it may make fishing easier and use less ga...

Fished outta converse with AveJoe Friday with blue bird skies and 3 foot rollers out of the north till 10am when it calmed down. Water temps were around 37. Water was a perfect stained green and clear with lots of debris in lake especially as you got closer to the boquet… We setup small sticks and a...

Sad that used to be bait for salmon to eat. Now it’s fertilizer!

Thanks for sharing…

Thanks for the report. Jonesing to get out myself. What was up with the mouth on that salmon? Damage that had been already done but healed? We call them dork fish…. When they were smaller they got hooked and split open the bottom of the mouth. It doesn’t close and the tongue grow thru the hole. It’...

Pat, it was great fishing next to you guys again today… Your closing results show how hot the bite was, didn’t take long to run up your salmon numbers. We shoulda stayed longer in the west and our final numbers would have been well over 20…., Thanks for the help this week with the impeller replaceme...

Round 2 of Joes last post (Round 1 ) from Sat consisted of Joe, Tunamas and I launching in heavy boat traffic Sunday morning at 7am. When we arrived there were 3 boats setting up! Fathead,Esad, and Homewrecker were already on the lake setting up on the spot! We setup just outside split and slid into...

:shock: Wow what a shakedown. Esad has done an amazing job in one season out fitting that boat like a trollers dream. It took me 6 seasons to install all those bells and whistles in Reelax I still haven’t gotten to installing my rocket launcher that is in the box still. Looking forward to round 2 in...

Sorry to hear Chad. Hope you heal quickly!!

Fish on!

Sounds like a great day on the lake. Thanks for the report Randy.
