    Merwin 429 3 fish and a malfuction or 2

    Went 3 for 6 today BUT had a Crapy day at the lake. 1st the repair shop didn't get my 8 horse motar fixed yet so I went with my electric trolling motar that hasn't been on a boat in years. Soon as we got on the water the tilt bracket broke (probably from cold winters in the garage) it's plastic...

    Had constant trouble with the motar while fishing trying to keep it running gave me a blister pulling on the rope for 500 restarts so it's in the shop for a few weeks till they can get to it. So I'm stuck without boat to go back for round 2 and hit em again

    Downrigger set back Help.

    Thanks guys, Pretty simple start at 100, drop 20 shorten 20. By this formula I take it early in the spring the kokes are more aggressive while in the top 10 feet as I was only 64-70 ft. back last weekend and got 5 & lost 8 so early season may be more of a experiment than later in the season...

    Downrigger set back Help.

    Ok let's get everyone chiming in and give their usuall set back from the ball before she goes in the release to get a good adverage for us newbies to have a good starting point for a set back. When ever I've fished for silvers on rife lake I've always used gang trolls weighted set back 32-35...

    where are the fish at Merwin

    Sunday there wasn't no place to park in the lot or the over flow lot up the hill and we had to park along the road. Tons of boats and everyone was catching some fish. I got a limit and never fished Kokanee in my life so there must be alot of fish or atleast a few not to smart ones LOL. I wasted...

    Shuttle Hawk

    Don't have a clue for that depth. This was my 1st time using them and at 20 ft when I was in a area were there wasn't a buch of junk in the water wrapped around the rigger cable it was on the surface before I could get the fish in the net setting there smiling back at me. Rod

    Bogey if your using manuel downriggers the shuttle Hawks are a must have!! I replaced the releases that came on them with Scotty mini releases. They worked just perfect with me using 10 lb. mainline. Also added a thick rubber band from one end to the other so there was no open way off during the...

    Thank God for Shuttle Hawks!!! If it weren't for them my arms would have been plain wore out the last 2 hours of fishing. Forgot to mention I fished dead, dead dead slow and everything was tipped with corn soaked in mikes shrimp oil all night. I did see maybe 7 or 8 other fish caught.

    After retro fitting the drift boat for Kokanee fishing at Merwin we got out today. By the time I got the down riggers figured out along with the shuttle hawks it was noon before I was getting my line wet. I got off the water about 6:30 with my limit of 5 and had lost 8 during the day. The wife...

    Rigging for Kokes

    I got funny looks back in the early 70's with one of the 1st peeps to start running a kicker on a drift boat then on the Cowlitz river. LOL Running a kicker made fishing alot more rewarding for my customers since I was able to pay more attention to where the plugs were in relation to the slots...
