Tides Tides If the water is over the saddle, then I agree, it is difficult to judge how deep it's getting with an incoming tide. If the water isn't over the saddle(the low point near the beginning of the bar) and the tide is going out then you're fine. Look up the tides for that day then be...

Im on it! But if the weather reports are correct we're about to blow out again! I'm tempted to get the pontoon out and do some bobber doggin. I really like the tactic, I'm going to like it a lot more when I get a hookup. I'm using less lead, maybe it was too much to start with. But I'd really...

Poor bast*** Poor bast*** Hahaha! At least you can say that you are with someone who caught fish. All I hear are rumors and lies! Better luck to ya, have dozer spit on your bait. Bet it works.

You're a machine Dozer You're a machine Dozer Tried the lower Saturday, working out he kinks at bobber doggin. I think I'm getting it dialed in but no Crome yet. I might be using too much lead but it's working, just need a taker to prove it! There are some good utube vids on it. Good luck

I've been on an artificial kick, yarnies, and pink worms. I really should be using some bait while we still can. Do you float the shrimp with corkies, or am I behind the times. Yarn, or no yarn? Colors? I'm way behind on the bait technique obviously. Any help would be great! THX

Hooks? Hooks? My hook to catch ratio improved a lot when I switched from gami'a to owners. I don't have any dog in the fight they just hang on better for me.

That looks like a pretty heavy slinky, I'm not great at catching steel, but others tell me the same thing over and over. You only want to hit the bottom every three seconds or so. If you feel your weight grinding across every rock your probably too heavy. Second, that's a really long leader...

They were counted as natives, but there's not even a column for hatchery fish on the count sheet, so??

Thats funny stuff, thanks guys, I'll try your ideas. I knew I've been just looking for a couple feet of walking speed water swinging a yarnie, various colors. I had a suspicion the bobber and jig might be the way to go,I just love the strike on the drift set up so I had to try it. I'll mix it up...

If the water is high and dirty I'm in the steel! Once it gets low and clear I can't touch anything! Going crazy here, since we have no water to work with, and it's gin clear. I've shrunk my gear down a ways, and I'm trying everything in the box, no luck. Any ideas for low clear water? And did...

James, if I see you I'd be glad to put in my 5 cents( actual value 2 cents) nothing is funner than watching someone else with their first steel. Especially if you've been trying for as long as you have. I'd love to see the look on your face when that thing lights up and breaks the water a few...

Can't wait! See ya out there.

Listen to Dozer, he's the man, but for what it's worth a 1/8 oz jig,or jig head with worm, 1/2 oz in line weight, and a 5/8 oz bobbed is a pretty good combo. Whether your using a worm or jig, match the bobber to the overall weight of the h hardware that you using. A robber that's too buoyant for...

12' boat+50 horse+ 9.9 horse motor= some really funny video footage! Like someone said before me" don't forget the video cam", in HD PLEASE! But start the video as you roll that monstrosity off of the trailer! I have a 16' smoker, with a 40 horse, 4 horse kicker. It's almost too much for the...

Listen to ramrod, that guy is the steelie slayer, I met his freind dozer?? Good guy, thee guys know what's up. This is only my second year at this, hooked 5 last winter, going for 10 or more this year. Thx ramrod, and dozer, can't wait for another fun year! Post pics, it makes it all the better.
