Great stuff Barlow, thx again.<br /><br />Are the names you added "your names", what the locals call these locations? They all have different names on my map.<br />No wonder people get lost out there .<br /><br />For Your info:<br />Knobb Creek Island = Deer Island<br />the bay = Back Bay<br />the cove = Four Islands ( but I count about ten)<br />the pit = Slaughterhouse Bay

Hi. Me again.<br />Hate to keep butting into your thread...( ) but what are the rigs that are on that roll?<br />Are those live bait rigs? Do you buy them like that or do you make them ?<br />How are they used?<br /><br /><br />Thanks for the info.......

lol... yea it's a good code to use ... keeps eaves droppers thinkin' too ...well it did until I posted it infront of a hundered million people. Its a funny body of water at night if you don't have a lot of experience on it and are out with just a single boat.<br /><br />I found a few guys north of the boulders that kept jamming themselves into the pit trying to get south to the Dam ramp.. had them follow me all the way back but, I cranked 'er up to around 40mph on the way threw to the main basin. .. <br />they called me @#$%@ nuts at the ramp. I told'em to follow my wash to begin with cuz I was hungry.. oh well. they made it <br /><br /><br />SE - no prob man .... they're live bait spinner rigs for trolling or fast drifting.<br /><br /> I tie my own but you can get similar rigs at bait shops. I've just become a bit particular on the components - using different hooks, swivels, beads, clevesis and blades ... the rigs on the snell-keeper are either 8lb (.009 dia.)or 10lb (.010 dia.) green mono. Just another thing I prefer.<br /><br />..and yea, I'm a bit anal.

Yeah, gotta speak in code around some guys.<br />We kindof name places based on previous experiances.<br /><br />The best of which is a small weedy spot on a lake up in Canada.<br />We call it "Humiliation Point".<br /><br />I took my brother-in-law there a few years ago.<br />I caught our limit of walleyes (8 total) in about 10 minutes, by slow retrieving a spinner rig like yours, through the weeds. Brother-in-law was still trying to rig up his pole and telling me how to fish. Then he asked why I had started the motor.<br />I pointed to the 8 eyes and told him we had to quit cause we had our limit.!!<br /><br />He is a true outdoorsman and a great hunter, but that night, I got him good.
