Sorry guys it's been a busy winter and I haven't really had much to say.. I have been reading all the post I just haven't had much to add. As we approach the 2014 season if anyone has any questions or wants to run anything by me feel free to call anytime. . Most or you know you don't have to fish with me for me to support you... 614.327.7144. Thanks jim
Thanks Jim, great offer! One of these days I have to get down there and fish with ya! Probably not much fishin, more talkin :D
Yes Jim I thought you were I hibernating. I am. Wake me up when it is 60 out. 88% of the Lake is froze. I have all my baits made and ready. See you in the spring.
PS Jim. We will have to have dinner some night when you are not busy with your wife!
Hey Skipper9 you seem like a really cool guy to make such an offer. I think I'll take you up on it.Quote:

I have dipsie divers and I am doing research on how to use them so that I am ready to try trolling for the Spring jig bite that you guys keep talking about.
I know that is a lot of questions, please don't feel like you have to answer them all, but any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Once again he's a class act. If it wasn't for Skipper9 I'd still be trying to figure out how a fishing reel worked.
He's taught me pretty much everything I know. Which isn't much but he's quadrupled the fish in my Boat.

Better yet, go fish with him. He offers walk-on's quite frequently if you don't have a large fishing party. For around $100, you will learn a lot if you pay attention. Better to see it done than have it told to you. I am looking forward to fishing with him a few more times this year myself.
the answer to all these questions is yes! if you pay attention, jim will make you a competent fisherman on this lake! stay in touch with him and he'll make you one of the best!Quote:

There are so many little things we do forget to mention quite a few, but seeing them in action, and applying them right then makes a big difference. I have taken many out who read how to do it and tried and spent time without going with someone first and found the way they read it compared to how we do it picked up most of the tips/tricks in one outing and just need to fine tune on their boats. Just a bit of info.
Hey Jim can't wait for the ice to thaw and this white crap to go away! You know I'll be in touch to talk fishin and just to chat buddy. Thanks for everything.
Jim,
When do you think the ice will be gone, an when are you planning to put the
blue beast in the Grove??? I'm thinking mid-late april, im in no rush this year!
2nd week of April I think will be when we drop in the boats...Quote:

From reading your past posts I gather you are a fan of the Amish Outfitters planer boards. Do you have an opinion about the new "plastic" boards they are offering ? I'm thinking of buying/making a pair for my buddy who hasn't been happy with the way his boards are pulling.
Skipper 9... Thanks for the info! I want to make sure I got it all right...
- Start trolling right after the jig bite slows down
- Use a reef runner in the beginning
- Use a Jet diver with a 12' lead between the diver and the Reef Runner
- Use a 3 oz weight directly on the tip of the reef runner
- Troll between 2-2.5 MPH
- Use a rod with a line counter and start about 120' back and if I don't catch anything keep increasing the line count by 10-15' at a time until they start hitting
The part that I think I am missing is how you told me to loop the worm so that it is on all the hooks of the Reef Runner, would you mind posting that?
Thanks Again! For sharing so much great info!
-Matt
No divers on reef runners..
The spring reef runner bite should be 10 to 50 foot back at about 1.0 to 1.5 mph. Do not use any kind of diver. Just put a 6 foot leader between your power pro and the reef runner..Quote:
