Omg mike, I want perch fillets so bad right now. Cast iron skillet, butter, teaspoon of minced garlic.
STWA meeting this Thursday.
I'll be there. Jim are you bringing my parts?
Can you join the club and tourney at the meeting thursday? Any guest speakers? ..... oh, and Bailey if you have an 18ft starcraft in your driveway
we do know each other. Thanks Jason
No Joe, I sold them to some Amish kid.......lol I'll have them.:D
Yeah jay the initials of your name along with cnc gave it away lol. I should ne at the meeting thurs. Jim must've been a rough couple weeks you been really quiet lol.
Bronchitis, Laringitis, Bad Cough, and 4 doubles since the show. FML....:confused:
I was guessing on the doubles but what a nice mix to go with them. That sucks at least you don't have any shows to hit right now. Better to get sick now perch soon time to make $$$ .
spent a few hours at my favorite candy store today, Bill's hooks $$$, don't tell my wife LOL. It's not hard to make big boards but if your looking to just buy them, they have home made boards for sell, all stainless hardwear. good price IMO.
Jim, I hear they're not doing early bird drawing this year for the tournament, you hear the same ??
haven't heard I heard the sponsorship is down.
Go figure. I was one of the earliest birds this year too.
It looks nasty outside. Probably worse than all winter.
Jim sorry to hear about all your issues - Mrs. Fishkiller must have enjoyed the quiet. :)
I just came back to this website. I was in Bill's Hooks world. There is not much on their website compared to when you go there. Barry you got the juices flowing about fishing supplies. I'm going to be looking for big board releases. I have a multitude concoction of devices now. Some release too fast some don't release. Gee Jim, is there a chance that you would know to get some? Are you going to the basement or garage to start making some up to sell at the next show? :rolleyes:
Damn groundhog
Joe, Innovative outdoors can hook you up with all your fishing needs. I personally use the Weldon realease's. They seem to work the best I can do them for $13.00 a 6 pack or I'll do $25.00 a dozen. I would recomend you get at least 4 dozen!!!!....lol:D Let me know what you want to do. I can bring one to the meeting if you want to see one.
Yes bring one please. I would like to look at it.
Wouild love those Weldon releases but my crew would drop every other one in the lake! Gets pretty pricey. But then again I figure my fish are about $1400 bucks a # already. :(
Well, Mother Nature Apparently didn't get the memo!
Jim, I'm interested in purchasing some releases off you in the near future also.
I'm out for makin the meeting tomorrow. My fishing partners mom passed away last night so the rest of my week and into the weekend is filled with wonderful funeral stuff.
Dont forget gyus I can get just about anything tackle related. If any of you guys need anything PM me.
I would like to thank the Innovative Outdoors team for bring my supplies to the meeting last night. That was going beyond the normal customer service.
Check out the hotty on channel 7 telethon first row blue shirts 3rd in from left. Should call and make a donation. Bet she loves to fish lol a real. "FISHKILLER" for sure
I have a pair of 30' and 40' jet divers. I want to be sure I'm using them correctly. How do you guys rig these in terms of the bait(harness or stick bait), length of leader to bait, depth of water you pull them in or any other general ways in which you use them.
Dennis
Hey dennis i run mine 100 to 150ft back off inline boards and fish them shorter leads in shallower water if they bottom out shorten leads. Google depth chart snd you'll find them online if you have smart phone find and download to it. As far as leader length i go 6 to 10 ft. I like to run a 30 diver with 10ft leader and small deep diver crank usually crank runs 3ft or so below jet and great action at slow speeds.
Bailey,
Thanks. I would like to use them with worm harnesses. Trolling them off the rear corners of my boat in rod holders. In the Seneca Shoal area the water depth is about 40' or so. I have done well with bottom bouncers and I like to hold the bottom bouncer in my hand. I wanted another system that I could just set out and place in a rod holder and have two lines in the water.
Dennis
Ok worm harness go with same leads what is comfortable for you to net fish but i would use inline boards give yourself some room i use the offshore boards and replace the rear pad with an or16 they have a center pin so line can't come out. Also by using boards you cover more water and you'll learn to read them fast or even consider dipsys . I run the magnums roughly 56' out in 35 fow on a 3 setting. With spiderwire 30# line. I will stress using a method that gives you a spread i am sure others will agree, sure our guru Fishkiller will also have good ideas. He helps many out. He's probably pulling doubles at work but he'll check in soon.
Bailey, your in lines will pull a 40' jet with a crank bait with no problem?? Are you running shallow crank baits? thanks
Yup they do no problem i even use spoons behind them i think the jets add their own action to baits especially in turns the inner lines slow a bit and i am sure jets start to raise and outers speed and dive deeper. When straight trolls are slow i zig big time and ot triggets bites. Sometimes when fish hits it will sink boards other times a board just looks lazy it'll move closer to boat and drop back so turn a little towards lazy board if it catches up probably not a fish but if it drops back further you've got a rider. In one trip you'll figure them out. I like the purple boards with metalic paint and striped but also have green and red chrome so to say. But love that purple.
You mean purple jets not boards?(last sentence) I use purple, green,blue & pink jets all in metalic, do best with the pink & purple also.
