Gary_Gray:: will be running a 15hp pro kicker this ye, for test
Fishnmagician: good evening GJ
Grape_Juice: HI FM
Xtra12: New Board ?
chatman:: LOL yea this new chat page is a little different
Chairman: I haven't been on in a while as you can tell !
ffishman: Gary, if you are fishing a fairly clear water lake, in June, in depths of around 12 to 18 feet, do you think you would be better off finding walleyes in an inside turn or an outside turn?
Gary_Gray:: no, not this yr, but I will in 2005. I have run it before, and it is nice
mr.Biggs: it's great easy and fast
Fishnmagician: someday is finely here LOL
Gary_Gray:: what do you mean by inside or outside turn
ffishman: inside, a inverted U an outside the other side of it
Chairman: bottom fish or suspended?
Gary_Gray:: don't feel bad Bruce, I'm trying to function with new pc tonight also, and new chat site
ffishman: or inside, the inside of a U
ffishman: bottom fish
Gary_Gray:: outside turn, as the fish will spook less
WarrenMN: Just don't click the last icon next to ?
Chairman: I learned that already Warren ha ha... thanks.
Chairman: where did the old private thingy go?
WarrenMN: Double click on the name
WarrenMN: on the right in the box
Grape_Juice > Fishnmagician: trip down here was great partly sunny all the way
Gary_Gray:: this is a lot different than before
Satch_MN: Gary, at what temp or time do sheepshead spawn and get big enough for walleye to feed on?
ffishman: Do you ever use live bait
WarrenMN: good thing they got rid of the sound effects
chatman:: yea i made scott axe the sounds crap lol
WarrenMN: LOL
WarrenMN: That is you Perch?
chatman:: sure is
WarrenMN: get my email
Gary_Gray:: they spawn usually in mid-june, and are big enough for forage around 1st week of kuly through nov
chatman:: gotta use chatman: to have admin rights
chatman:: no email latley
Gary_Gray:: temp 72-75
Gary_Gray:: sure, some tournaments are strickly live bait
Gary_Gray:: have I missed anyone
ffishman: what do you prefer, crawlers or minnows
Gary_Gray:: depends on the time of the year.
Chairman: Were there any suspended fish at bull shoals Gary or just on points like most reservoirs?
ffishman: june
Gary_Gray:: Bruce, I did not make the Bull shoals event
Satch_MN: Gary, do where do sheepshead spawn? Reason for these questions is where I fish alot they feed on sheepshead alot. I just want to get some pattern.
jaubreaker: getting back to that pro kicker, did you use one this year?
Gary_Gray:: by june, crawlers come into play. I judge it, by when bait is available naturally, that is when fish start to feed on that particular food source
ffishman: Thank you, very good point
Gary_Gray:: Sheephead, unlike other fish that puddle to spawn, they spawn in open water suspended
Gary_Gray:: they gather in large schools, and spawn
Chairman: just a big orgy eh gary....
Gary_Gray:: you bet
Ristorapper: yep
WarrenMN: Whats your opinion on scents
Gary_Gray:: I have caught many walleyes on Bago, trolling with Off Shore Boards, putting my baits, just under the spawning sheephead
chatman:: hi Dan
Gary_Gray:: I have not been a big user of scents, not to say they don't work, just haven't used them alot
Ristorapper: pitching jigs vs vertical jigging with minnows; do you hook minnow the same on jig

Ristorapper: gottcha
Gary_Gray:: I will be there, it will just be touch and go with Dana due
Chairman: I will be in on the 6th.
WarrenMN: Do you use one style jig or do you use different
eyelet angles
Gary_Gray:: I will be at home, only 15 miles away
Chairman: I have hooked minnows through the head and out the bottom, they seem to stay on the jig better
Gary_Gray:: I use strickly one kind, ball jig
WarrenMN: Oh, whats the difference in the pro kicker and a regular 15
Ristorapper: I've heard that works better pitching they stay on longer Bruce
WarrenMN: sorry for jumping around
Chairman: I will have a few prototype night lights at the NPAA meeting.
