April 16th Workshop

I plan on attending! I would love to hear some on drop-shotting. I was getting beat in tournaments last year by guys who were catching fish deep by drop-shotting. I learned a bit, but didn't have confidence in it yet, so when it counted I never used this technique (even though I know it can be very effective!).

Hey Deitz,

You have the Humminbird SI units on your ride, correct? Love to hear about your years worth of experience with them.

In general on electronics, how you use your electronics down here in the TC area compared to how Rob uses his up in the DL area for example would be kind of interesting to hear about. For example, you might have an icon for a rock pile, while Rob has icons for individual boulders on a reef. Stuff like that would be cool.

Still kind of kicking ideas around, but I think I will be talking about soft plastics systems for smallmouths - in particular, using soft plastics as search lures vs. slow, finesse type presentations.

Cheers,

RK

When discussing soft plastics discuss the various ways of rigging them, types of hooks, and size of hooks. Maybe touch on the growing popularity of soft swim baits and all the different styles.

I'm interested if I don't work that weekend. Definitely want to get more involved this year.

One topic I'd like to hear about is how to locate bottom composition transition areas, river channels, and other specific structure locations... As well as what these areas might look like on your sonar and map. I always hear about concentrating on a specific type of structure or cover but feel lost when it comes to actually locating these areas on purose rather than just getting lucky.

Turns out I'm caught in the mix of too many things going on that weekend and I'll be taking part in the Sturgeon Excursion on the Rainy River that weekend.

Bummer, as I could use the help with my bass skills.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
