decent day on the pond today, 8 yellows between 6-8lbs, dropped half as many.

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.

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.

I like using the metal leader worm harnesses so they don't break. Do you guys think one is brtter fhan the other for cafching fish? I haven't been loseing many fish with the metal leader harnesses.

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

Its not the clevises its the beads chaffing the line I have complained to Jim Dolly about using mono line, as soon as I bring them home I cut them apart and tie them on 30 lb red coated wire and the new hooks they are using this year also suck. 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.

Fishkiller, where do you get the red coated wire line if I may ask?

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
