Mine are homemade also. I was gonna build a set as I have plans saved in my computer for them but ended up buying mine in the package deal. I'll post the plans when I get home from work today. There's a wide array of wood that can be used for boards. And everyone is bias to them floating high or sitting low for more bite.Quote:

I don't think the plastic ones will ride right and bite enough. You don't want them to start hopping out of the water with 3 lines on them each when it gets a little wavy. They are fairly simple to make. One long board, a miter or circular saw, drill and some threaded rod, nuts and eyelets and your fishingQuote:

so yes its ugly and i'm jimmying my troll until i get a kicker next year but, my boat is fairly light 18' lund w/85" beam - she skiny.
any thoughts here
I use a model called Super Ski. They actually belong to my cousin in law. What i like about them is that they fold up. Making them more easily storred.as far as i'm concerned they work great. I'm not sure even if they are still available. ??
Fished 1/2 day yesterday in 58-60 fow out of SP on fench @ condos. Boated 6 eyes. One of them had the virus. The inside of fillets looked like old freezerburn. Dried up orangeish spots. Matches the virus report in the Fishline article. All good size fish except for one, Dipsey's and riggers. 30-40 ft. down on dipseys and popping riggers. Boards next week. Going to Cooperstown to watch grandson (Ty-Lure) play in tourament and check out hall of fame. Given the fish a break. "Good Fish'n Everyone......."
I have a set of the AO white Pro boards.... sweet...pull like a mule. I have used many over the years, super ski (discontinued), Otter Boats, home made, singles/doubles/triples, and these are simply the BEST yet. They fold up for easy storage. A lot of guys run the redwood version of these boards (because they are worried that the pro boards pull too hard (they are also $10 less expensive) and love them as well. If you decide to try either of these boards I recommend getting the large board snubbers he makes as well, as these will help reduce the shock to your mast/hardtopQuote:

I use the AO Redwood boards and are very pleased with them, run 3-4 lines off each side with ease. I went with the redwood because the reason shorthanded spoke of, afraid of the composite pulling to hard.
Fished sunday out of SP, boxed 5 and dropped 1 all on the fence. 2 off boards and 3 off riggers. All colors worked, down speed was 1.5 - 1.8.
Great Lakes Angler Magazine has a real good write up on the tourney this past weekend on their website here is the link. http://www.glangler.com/_blog/Great_...ye_Tournament/
awsome write up congrats on the winQuote:

Ty have a good time in Cooperstown. It's a great inspirational place. I'm sure all will enjoy.
Fishon....thats the one. My fish looked just like the pic on the right.Quote:

threw a little bit of everything at them. only the riggers were dead. boards (40 jets and 2-3 oz snap weights) and dispys produced.
black/pink sgl hatchet harnesses, hammered copper/watermelon dbl colorado harnesses, chartreuse/pink-head reef 800 runners and chartreuse/red-head deep husky jerks DH-12. cranks worked equally well as the harnesses..
short hour long bite between 7-8am while clouds were out, then the sun appeared and nada more
ALOT of bait and FISH directly off Abino on the fence (60-65 fow), 1.6 mph down speed did the trick for us
Fished out of S.P. today boxed 7 , 3-7 #s Mostly on hatchet blades harnesses, bkl/rasberry; nuc. green (was best); blk/purple. dipsys & riggers did best. 60-68 fow west of abino. Beautiful day on the lake.
Fishkiller, nice article, congrats again. Do you by chance live on 77 near minkle ? I use to hunt that land before your house was there , shot a few deer off the hi spot to the n/east of the house. I think I saw your boat in the yard the other day, nice area.
Anyone else loosing their harnesses ? I have had 3-4 3 d,s lost & I beleive it due to the mono being cut by the spinner clevis cutting thru the mono, They seem to use the wrong type clevis & at the prices they get for them I think they would use wire instead of mono. I am goiing to try to contact them.:(
hey lineman, i was out yesterday at sp from 8am - 8pm long day detmined to get this thing down. i landed 1 running d.r., dispy and snap weight - finally went to using one line - kept crossing up - you guys make it sound easy - oh well i guess i'll get better with practice the one i caught was 28" 5lbs.
practice practice
lineman- Last few times I was out I too lost a couple harnesses.No snags, no fish, just an empty line! Those big blades must really put some abrasion on the snell.I have not had any trouble with the big plastic clevis when I do my own rigs. I have boughten some almost as nice from a guy in Michigan $2.20 a piece) and he uses coated cable. I buy 2-3 for the same price as the D harnesses. I also had some of the finish come off on 2 of the D harnesses also.Good luck in contacting them. Hopefully they will give you a response.Quote:

I bring line with me and retie 3ds when they show wear then i split into 2 more harnesses with single blades. Capt wire is the way ill get stuff soon to make wire harnesses up myself

Bailey, I do the same thing,useing 40# mono with diff. clevises, Do you retie with mono or steel cable? If cable what type/kind, size & do you use crimps or tie knots ? Thanks for any info.Quote:

Pete/ny , want to share the Michigan guys info. for the harnesses ??
Yes thats my house I have shot many deer off that same knoll during drives. i killed a 140" 9 pt back in my orchard 3 yrs ago.Quote:

I use only Mustad 2/0 beak hooks (model 92553) in silver or red. As far as the finish they are using it sucks also but that Nucular Green works so good. 3D has always replaced them when I had any issues.Quote:

Wow it's good to hear people getting walleyes now, can't wait to get out myself. Too many weddings trips and work in the way what the heck. And it doesn't seem to be slowing down, but now that my boat is back in action and hearing the fishing being good I'm getting itchy to get out! On my engine the initial problem was that the water line came off of the outdrive. This led to no water coming through the exhaust, which cause the exhaust shutter to burn up (burning rubber smell), and also one of the exhaust boots melted some. Fortunately I caught it before it really overheated so it wasn't that bad to fix, other than waiting on parts and fixing it in the driveway when it's 85 degrees out where I instead should be sipping a frosty on the boat holding a line.
Congrats fishkiller on the tournament thats awesome! Has to really get your charter business busy big time I would think time to raise rates. :)
Good luck everyone
I get it at Rainbow Sports on Oliver St. in North Tonawanda, but Paul doesnt always have it. Its 30lb bleeding red leader wire from American Fishing Wire. You can order it on line also. Look on Ebay.

Wow quiet weekend here all, work yesterday and something came up today that i couldn't get out myself. Next weekend if all goes well ill be out.
All i'll say barry is that it has to be great to be retired. Glad to hear you had a good day out.
Just to let all you guys know Nicks Sporting Goods on Kenmore Ave. has a hugh stock of worm harness blades, and pre made harnesses in the store. I was over there today and picked up some blades. Roy has really rampped up his stock of walleye tackle in the last year. Remember to try to always buy from your local tackle shops. Oh and Barry it must have been all the good learnin I showed ya......lol:p
Tried to go put of SP this PM at 4:00 had 3+ footers, left & came home. Sm. craft warnings up all of Tues.
Sorry to say I haven't been out. Work, Work, Work, Although today won 16 - 6 when you can't out to fish softball is good. There are no small craft warnings on the field. Only lightning. The old guy picked up a win. Now 5 - 7. getting hot for the playoffs.
congrats on the win and the right time to get hot keep us posted through the playoffs good luckQuote:

You mean the 001. That dipsy has depth capability of 50ft with the o ring attached. I would run both the 000 and the 001 and see where the fish are at. 000 dives to 35ft with o ring attached.Quote:
