I’m not sure West can get and clearer, we sight fish to 20′ and beyond at times through the ice….Sight fishing smallies just after ice outs a blast to….

---

was just gonna say “any clearer ?”

same thing happened to me trolling last year . netted the fish . went to remove lure and she rolled . tail treble hook got me on top of right hand right below index finger knuckle . wow did that tickle !! . grabbed my cutters quick to cut the ring . had to poke the hook back up thru the skin to cut behind the barb . sat back and passed out for what i figured was a good 15 minutes maybe longer . drifted atleast 1/2 mile off where i caught the fish . what an adrenaline rush that was . rather not happen again anytime soon tho

I have the same model if you want another one .. Works great .. I upgraded so dont need the monitor anymore

no joke .. i just stayed out of the high traffic areas most the day ..

one heavy 7 lb. and a couple 5 lb. pike on Saturday .. jiggin for eyes on Boji was a bit tough .. big boat wakes were killin me .. this weekend in a Pro V should be better

the good the bad and the ugly .. ..thanks man

hit the eastside this weekend .. the wife and i were out Friday night and yesterday .. caught some yellow bass, walleye, and 1 catfish .. catfish didnt get in the boat tho .. wife caught it but it spit the rig at us boatside .. good time all around .. boat traffic wasnt too bad on eastside either ..

was on Spirit yesterday .. trolled south and east edges of lake .. no hits .. went up to anglers bay .. made a few drift passes starting in 16fow to 6fow .. one pike on a small Rap perch pattern ..

what depth of water were the fish in ? .. section of lake pressured the most ?

nice … pullin some big bass up here in North Central Iowa also … my spinners have never had a workout like this before

went up yesterday to Boji and Spirit .. got on West early before boat traffic picked up .. pulled up a 45 musky out from Arnolds Park … couple small pike on smaller bucktail in 15fow .. went up to Spirit after lunch … wind was pushin in Anglers bay .. made some passes with Raps only to pull up weeds and 1 small pike .. got out in 18fow and let it drift in .. pulled up 3 nice pike castin small spinners .. man some of the boaters on West were pissin me off .. i could easily have put my lure in the passenger seat of atleast 10 boats that cruised by .. had to drop my rod and grab edge of boat so not to go swimming .. worth the drive up to boat that musky tho ..
