Activity Stream

If you don't have a built in transducer you can add a skeg (rudder) onto the trolling motor to improve steering. I usually don't have to turn the...

Getting info from the marshes isn't always accurate. Lake and rivers temp doesn't help. I did finally get good info. Marshes were froze on...

Thanks sherman, I think i am set on reels, for now.

I just wanted to thank all of you that share your knowledge on this site. I just started getting serious about catching fish the past 2 years. I...

if you need more sealine sg17lca reels used i have 5 that are in working order plus 3 for parts cheap. at least 1 if not 2 of the parts reels the...

Cullen park ramp in Toledo had ice this am....luckily someone went in before me and broke it all up. My guess is that the marshes are frozen. Did...

Cullen Park in Toledo had ice at the ramp, thank goodness someone went in before me and broke it all up!

Gotcha, thanks. Ended up buying the accudepths.

Yes. And they have permanent structures so they are always usable.

Main lake water temperature is around 42 depending on where you are. Sandusky 10 day forecast doesn’t have a low under 32 with an average high of 40....

We only run snaps to our crankbaits.We feel that the snap provides more action to the lure than a swivel. Since you were going less tham 1.8mph, the...

Not a problem, itsbob! Not the first time that's happened and I'm sure it won't be the last. BTW, itsbob, I enjoy your posts, so keep them coming :)

My bad Lynn.Long day regardless.Thanks for post and clarification.

Thanks for the pointers Mike and Slick Willie. I had 2 different setups going, on some of the rods I had nothing but the snap connected to the crank...

I had that issue, at times, so now I run a ball bearing snap swivel, then 4' of flourocarbon line, then the snap. That seemed to take care of that...

It sounds like your cranks were not properly tuned or possibly you were trolling too fast for the particular crank. Make sure your snap is round...

That surprises me, because you pay to have them mounted, and the actual fish is no longer inside the skin, so it doesn't make sense to me, that you...

fyi your not allowed to sell any mounted fish either...i found that out when trying to sell a couple mounted 10 lbers...ok in mich...sold them to a...

Yes, that makes perfect sense. I am running a 24 volt Ulterra on two 156 AH Lithium batteries, so running out of power is not an issue unless I try...

Thanks for that clarification Capt. Juls! Yes, I am a biological male the last time I checked and I identify as a male as well, LOL.

Lynn is a man's name too....;)

Tough fisherwoman for sure.Long drive, fishing from dawn to dusk alone in that cold.Thanks for the post.

I talked to the ODNR about this subject several years ago, and was told that we can GIVE our fish to a customer, if we want, but we are not allowed...

Great report! Man...that was a long day for you...glad you made it home safe.

The advantage is, better battery life on the trolling motor batteries. In the early spring, when the speeds are super slow, I won't use the kicker,...
