I use Yo-Zuri 6# ultra-soft 90% of the time and have no problems...Always with a wetted, Palomar knot. 5 years of success, 100 days a year.

So as an alternative...is there a storage facility anywhere near this lake? Perhaps something enclosed...with electricity...Look outside the box...

Grundle if you're packin' steak tips then I would be honored if you rode with me. Grampa

Well I went out yesterday and there was no change....I am wondering if a total factory rebuild is possible...

So that about covers it...keep throwing what you are used to...understand what happens in the fall...cooling water turns over and homogenizes...fish tend to rest deeper and deeper as water gets colder...they tend to come up to warming water during daytime to feed heavily...you sure can have a lot of fun...fish and learn.

Thank you...I just completed that reset...I'm going out tomorrow and will give results...appreciate your time... Grampa

So I just got back from Champlain and caught a ton of fish...but...there I was...in the back of Carry Bay and it was calm...and it was first thing in the morning on an overcast day...So I got out my buzzin' frog and started tossin' it over the Lilies and thru the reeds...Slam!!! a Bowfin missed the lure...three casts later a 2lb Pike came to the boat...15 casts later an 11" Largemouth got a waterski lesson...and that was that. grampa

Buddy I need to know what you fish with and how you fish...We're gonna have to work on that personal best...Try to show up for the next get together...Ok? grampa

That is correct...so I assume that the transducer is still ok...also other than the number, it is accurate and therefore still useable...Oh yeah...the field shown has to be preset and will not shift automatically...I've been able to function on 15' nicely.

See...now we're gettin' someplace...Sept 17 Mashpee Wakeby is also my vote.

So the depth finder that came with the boat has been great until now. X51 Lowrance with speed and distance and temp...oh yeah and depth both on a gray line chart and a digital number above the temp....presently will not show a correct digital read out. Any ideas?

So what got accomplished while I was gone? Where are we going and when? C'mon guys. Oh by the way if any ladies care to join the festivities..... grampa

If you haven't had Capt. Parker's Clam Chowder then you shouldn't even be in the discussion....Best Chowder on the Cape....since....I don't know....a long time....Awesome...thick and creamy. grampa

I'm thinking that the easiest lake to keep the kids catching fish is probably Sabbatia. Nice and easy to get to, on Bay St. off 495. Should be plenty of fish in the weeds out to the left of the ramp. Have fun.

Sewing tape measures are a dollar...at Wal-Mart...put one in your tackle box...who knows when you might catch another fish... grampa

Can we start the date selection process...then we can see who can make it... How about Saturday Sept. 17...anyone...anyone...anyone...

It might help to know the clarity of the river. Perhaps something flashier would work for locating fish. Keep in mind depth changes for inside bends and outside bends. Outside bends should be deeper and those overhangs will be more appealing in warmer water. Just a thought. grampa

I've weaned myself down to once a week at Bass Pro Shops....Just haven't gotten to the money limit yet...

You would be a welcome addition... Please keep an eye on the post... Grampa

Hello...there's another whole thread...Eastern Mass Get Together-Part II...Jump in anytime...

You better go...it's my turn to fish with you.

Well...went fishin' 3 times when it was 95 or above last week and all three times the fish were in 6'-8'....on the bottom in heavy cover. They were easy to catch because their metabolisms really crank in higher temps. Ya might want to try jigs and grubs....or if you are walkin'...maybe early or late in the shallows....just my observations.

Well I hate to bring common sense into this but the way it looks to me is that after Labor Day the pressure may be off the watersports and the smallmouth may be starting their fall feeding. Maybe someone can check the tournament schedule first. I should be able to make it most any time though. More people...more boaters please. Anyone...anyone... Hey photographer...can you make it this time?

Grundle if you want another crack at Whitehall...let me know...I've been skunked there before myself...and you better show up at the next one...it's not official without you.

Well met gentlemen...all we lacked was a photographer...maybe next time...good job bumpkin, those were nice fish. A special thanks to "tate" and "Fishing Rhino" for a great lunch. You guys are awesome.
