Salvaged what might have been a bad day today on the Bay. Started in my usual place and hit a couple keepers, but as the east winds picked up things went kinda dead. Decided to point the boat to deeper waters and was soon seeing fish high and low in the water column, but no takers. Remembering a day a few years ago, when I was going to change over from cranks to meat, and stalled the boat too make it easier to clear lines, and all hell broke loose when I did. So I hit the stall mode button on my TR-1 auotpilots trottle control for the kicker, let the boat almost stall to a stop and the planer boards almost sag slack to the back. Then I hit resume and the boards shot forward. "Bang" a double, both nice fish. Did it again "Bang" another one fallowed closely by another. 1/2 day trip, boated 24, kept 16. Also posting a picture of my rubber bands in action. Can you tell which one has the fish on it?

Good info Dan. Stalling the lures is by far the most productive fine detail tactic I have for fishing eyes around the River and Erie. Bouncers with harnesses, boards, longlining cranks, whatever. I usually don't do it with the throttle. I just spin the main motor I use as a rudder all the way to one side for a 3 count, then back. Outfishes the fast side around 10-1 usually.

Very nice work. Missed the rubber band thingy. Not even sure what that means. Great catch though. I take the trollmaster is highly recommended.

Komo.

Take a look at the second/middle picture. See the rubber bands stretched out from my releases and attached to my planer boards tether line? See the one that is longer than the other? Theres a fish on that one. It's probably not a big fish or it would have broken free the rubber band. Usually a 2 pounder or bigger will accomplish that, but not always. I've had 8 pounders sometimes stretch the band and then fallow along with it. With it being stretched out though, all I have to do is grab the rod, tighten the line and give it a whip and break it free to fight the fish.

Nice catch Dan.I used a similar technique last night with good results,but mine was using sharper s turns to stall the boards.And as for the tr-1 it is a great unit i just love mine sure makes it a lot easier to go it alone,with the wind,against it or sideways keeps it on course.If anyone is interested contact Gary Boman Bo@[email protected] he can answer most of your questions.And the service is excellent from what I've heard.Have not had to use it so going on others experience.
