Re: Lead core setup
Ps. If you Don’t get enough friction with a Willis knot you can double it with 2 square knots about a half inch apart. I call It a double Willis knot… The mono inside the nylon sheath seems Like a hard thing to do but it slides Right in as long as you have a clean cut in the Mono… Hope this helps… M...

Re: Lead core setup
Lead core is usually sold in what is called a “full core” which is 10 colors of lead. Each color is 10 yards long and will sink about 5 ft at trolling speeds. Currently I am running 2 color rods which are backed by florocarbon or mono put on the reel 1st. I usually put 1-200 yards of line in 1st, th...

Re: Scotty Downriggers
The screw works loose after a few miles. Probably due to the rigger being over 20 years old and the screw hole is worn some.Wallyandre (Andre) wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 12:43 pm Like he said,just tigh up the screw under the cover

Re: Scotty Downriggers
I have old school Scotties and the covers like to blow Open at highway speeds. I use the line retrieves and wrap them over the covers and lock them down with 2 half hitches. I’ll show you next time I see you at launch. This has worked for 10 years for me… I’ll be launching Wed, just not certain wher...

Looking for a parking spot
Now that I am retired, I may start fishing 2-4 times per week. I prefer to fish between Charlotte and Addison on the lake. I live north of there and each trip cost about $50 in gas. If I could have a place to keep my boat over night closer to fishing areas, it may make fishing easier and use less ga...

Re: Round 2
Thanks for the report. Jonesing to get out myself. What was up with the mouth on that salmon? Damage that had been already done but healed? We call them dork fish…. When they were smaller they got hooked and split open the bottom of the mouth. It doesn’t close and the tongue grow thru the hole. It’...

Re: March Madness
Pat, it was great fishing next to you guys again today… Your closing results show how hot the bite was, didn’t take long to run up your salmon numbers. We shoulda stayed longer in the west and our final numbers would have been well over 20…., Thanks for the help this week with the impeller replaceme...
