A group of us went out of Arneson’s last week, and it was slow. Our best days were Thursday and Friday, which were followed by a cold front. There was no pattern to follow. If your are going to jig, switch them often…we almost always got a fish on a newly changed lure. As far as dead sticks, orange/chartreuse/blue were our best plain hook colors. The cisco were the most aggressive, but that probably had to do with the weather.

You’re absolutely right about this. I joined because this seemed like one of the best places to start when I began having problems with my new Marcum. A lot of people have way more experience with these new platforms than I do, so why not go to them. I’m not bad mouthing Marcum at all, my other flasher is a vx-1 that I have had for close to 10 years with no problems. If I had to get a new one tomorrow, it would be another Marcum. But thanks for the open arms welcome. Oh, checked out a bunch of your early posts Joe, hard to believe all these gems came from one person. Next time I need 2 cents, worth a penny, I’ll hit ya up. Good luck on the water.

That there my friend, is why you get paid the big bucks. I am going to try that as soon as I get home from work. I’ll let you know if it works. Thanks for the great idea.

I would, but the unit won’t even power up.

Checked all the connections multiple times, and when I called marcum, I was a little surprised they were going to charge me for shipping to the facility considering it had only been used 5 or 6 times. I may try and return it to the store it was purchased from, but thanks for the quick reply.
