I did a search but didnt find the info I was looking for. One thing I cant figure out is when you are runing planer boards with say a rapala, how do you know when you have a bite? Does the board run differently? If you use flags do they dip down when you get a bite? And also how do you hook up with the fish, do you set the hook hard or do you just let the rod load up and just keep tension on the line.
Obviously, I've never used boards but I just got my copy of "Precision Trolling" and have already gone through my whole tackle box comparing the charts to my lures, and have a new rod and line counter picked out. I generally have 3-6 other people in my boat on opener up at Kab so it would be nice to spread out the lines a little. Also I've run into situations where we go in shallow and mark fish but every pass they go deeper so that tells me the boat spooks the fish, I would love to troll by in the deeper water and let the boards drag the raps in shallower on those spots. Needless to say I'm pumped to give this a try.
Was at the Shagawa lake boat launch and these two ducks came right up to me. I think someone has been feeding them.
I also noticed that one of them has an eye that is partially shut.
I appreciate that. I actually stopped last night but I didnt get back to town til 5:45 and you were closed. Were open when I went by to bring the girls to school this morning so I grabbed eight packs. Probably be way to many dont remember them being so big.
@snagfinder
Plain fresh brats are 4.99/lb
Flavored fresh brats are $5.99/lb
Smoked Brats are $6,99/lb
Most probably average around 1.5 lbs. per 6 brats.
How many you looking for?
