One thing that I found that worked for me was switching to a 7 foot glass cranking rod. I use the bass pro crankin stick made for bass crank baits. It has a softer tip that gives on a head shake. ...

I have always had better luck with a suspending bait instead of a floater. When the water gets colder I will let it sit for up to 10 seconds. A lot times when you start a super slow retrieve again...

I have seen my buddy anchor his boat with a Y line to keep the nose pointed slightly at an angle. He tied the main anchor to the bow. Then tied another line to a midship cleat that he had attached...

The bait shop opened today and Bob said fish are being caught right out front trolling cranks. He said not big numbers but they are there. I am plannimg going out Sunday for a few hours so I will...

I walked out 1.5 miles out of Catawba last week in the morning before the rain hit. Fished for a little over an hour and caught 1 pig. Fishing buddy caught 3 but he stayed a few more hours. It was...

I believe that Huron Lagoons marina offers driving and docking classes. I was in your shoes a few years ago and a 12 pack of beer to an experienced boater got me a hands on class for an hour or so. ...

I have a 26 foot cuddy that is fairly deep sided and put it next to the drivers seat on the floor and it helps tremendously. The only time I got bit this year was when I was stepping out on the swim...

I went out Saturday am and Tuesday night fishing and the water was surprising good up close. With a flashlight I was able to see the bottom of my 28 inch trolling bags. Saturday caught 3 in 2 hours...

Huron pier is an excellent place to get them. I used Rapala hj-14s last year and caught quite a few. Helsinki shad and chrome blue were the biggest producers. They are there now because i have...

Fall and going into winter is a great time to buy equipment. I was able to pick almost all of my trolling tackle at about half price. Stores like Meijer, Walmart, Dick's, and even BPS/Cabelas have...

I am not sure what kind of knot you were using but I have found that a Palomar knot is a must for braid. I had the same problem when setting the hook bass fishing it would come undone but haven't...

One thing that I have found that helps casting these type of rigs is to use a baitcaster if you have one. You can thumb the spool just before entering the water which makes the rig fan out and not...

Another away to tell how much line is out for a non line counter is to measure how much line comes off of the spool from one side to the other. Let's say the line spooling out from one to the other...

Is the reason for the crimp to get he top hook closer to the spoon?

The reports are few and far between around the central area, maybe because of the weak action. We fished for 4 hours between Huron and vermilion and went 5 for 7 with a bonus 11.7 catfish. Best...

I use a small swivel and then a 3 foot flouro skipper 9 rig. The flouro does a good job with abrasion and not twisting. You definitely have to back off on the braid hook set though or you will just...

+1 on the skipper 9 rigs. My catch rates went up significantly when I switched from a spreader last year. Braid is also great for being able to feel them just suck in the minnow.

I was glad to see the Lagoons dredging the humps but still a little worried about getting out of the finger docks. I guess if it gets real bad I can move over to the Basin late in the year to...

I came up to the Huron river to get some lunch at the Brass and the river is ripping pretty good. The water level is up atleast a foot from where it was last week even with the south wind. I also...

Sunday we got a 3 man limit in 35 fow in front of the castle. If you are catching junk move quick and change depths. We have caught them lately in anywhere from 22-40 fow.

I have had clinch knots come loose while bass fishing on a hard hook set. I changed to a Palomar and have never had one come loose.

I have had clinch knots come loose on hard hook sets before I knew how tie a Palomar on braid while bass fishing. Never had one come loose since changing to Palomar.
