We would start NW of the Black Hole while staying parallel with the 2nd and 3rd ledges/drop-offs along Pinconning and Saganing bars. Brother Dave would stay in 12 to 14 fow and I would stay in 18 to 21 FOW and we would troll within sight of each other and stay in Cell phone communication. I hit pay dirt first with a single fish on an eyeliminator and Capt. Dan spoon harness, both purple in color. Then a long dry spell and Dave worked his way into 16/17 FOW. I finally hit a spot that was full of fish, high and low. Bang we hit a double, both on Rattle Tot's and sliders. Unfortunately, we got lines tangled on the way in and we lost both fish right behind the boat. Spun back around and hit a 4 pounder. Then it started. We had at least 10 rips on the Eyeliminators and #8 Tommy Harris thumpers. I'd reel in, and the tip of the Gulp would be gone. I mean they would rip the rubber bands out of the releases like a salmon might, and nothing. The picture shows 3, but we ended the day with 6 fish in the box. Oh ya, brother dave got notta. :roll: Attachments ----------------  IM001741.JPG (130KB - 142 downloads) | ||

Member Posts: 2680 Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Jim Ordway - 8/17/2008 6:18 PM Dan, You sent me some tots and spoons last fall, but, unfortunately I have been laid up this season. I need a refresher: Do you tip the tots and spoons with live bait or gulp all or most of the time with the treble functioning as a stinger? Thanks, Jim O Jim. I've been using 1/4 real crawler hooked at it's tip on the outside front belly trebele hook of the rattle tots, and then adding the 30" slider with Stinger Scorpion Spoon after the Tot is let out to length desired. Since the bay turned over 2 weeks ago I've went to something more attarctive to these fisnicky fish. I use both live and Gulp crawlers on the eyeliminator rigs, but mostly the Gulp with the BIG BLADES. I made up some that I call thumpers with some of Tommy Harris #7 and #8 blades. But I made them with 2 hook harnesses, a #2 single in front and a #4 trebel at the back. I like them that way to leave a little tail to wag. But today the wags were getting most of the hits.
