    Fishing buddies

    Condolences to you, Carl's family and friends. I've been in your position a number of times SuperD, it never gets any easier accepting the inevitable. Those close to you will never leave you in spirit but yet we still wish that they were there with us on the boat.

    Help with mounts for Cannon downriggers

    This is what I did on my Jetcraft Yukon. I wanted it to be a little high due to my bad back so designed it to help save me pain & suffering. I have a friend who is very handy with metal fabrication, I weld wood... lol Good luck and try not to overthink these mounts, very simple designs win big.

    New downriggers!

    I too had brackets made since my gunnels are awkward for mounting DR's. I take them off and put them on for different fishing venues.

    How do you tie those goldurned tandem hook knots?

    I'm with Lund Troller, I tie hundreds of egg loop leaders for trolling during salmon fishing. Instead of 20# BBG I use 12# Maxima UG and size 2 & 4 Red Gamie octopus hooks and only wrap 4 times instead of 6. The Koke rigs are definitely harder to tie for me anymore with arthritis and yes I had...

    end of season

    I had a fantastic Kokanee season, bought a new to me 18' windshield boat with full top and set it up for Kokes exclusively. I will fish for Coho, Kings and steelhead but just took all the DR gear off today. I have about 50 fish in the freezer and we have been eating a lot too. I had success on...

    Summit and American Lake reports

    Thanks Slayer, we didn't hear of any reports anywhere so opted for a road trip up to PA to fish lake Sutherland. We slayed them with limits both days by 9:30!!!! It was a great time with my son, couldn't get the Mrs up that early to even drive the boat....

    Summit and American Lake reports

    I have been cooped up this summer and have not been making the rounds to most of the lakes I love to fish. Now with my son in town for a few weeks I'd like to get him into some Kokes and the end of the season is near. I have DR's and a lot of gear I just have been out of the loop for a while...
