Lefty, although I do use a swivel alot of guys will tie mainline to leader ( tip-it ) using the double surgeons knot. They claim it reduces line twist even better than the micro-swivels. Experiment a bit and you'll find out what you like . Good question, we need more float fishing ciscussions for us...

Chromers all the way from the bank. Drifting structure for walleye is second.

No doubt about it , it's gotta be pounding the river banks with my lab Lady in search of steelies. Floating , bottom bouncing with a slinky, whatever it takes. " There's another one Lady, big fish, really big fish, well it was a big fish". Not to-day though, the river is blown.

Sure have, I use them alot with a blown up worm. Some people even use jube-jubes beneath their float. Must be the sweet bait,lol.

I have an older 22 foot starcraft that has a leak which requires the bilge to be run every 10 minutes or so. I powerwashed it at the end of the year and some of the silicone that is spread on the seams at the back came off. Should I strip all the silicone off and start from scratch or just patch whe...

Thanks a ton wolfe. Off topic but nice pic of the wolf. My son and I are both wolf fanatics. Me with a tatoo and his bedroom walls and counter tops plastered with photos. Tim

Very nice indeed. We have no safe ice at all down this way. Crazy weather that's for sure. I'm heading out for some open water float fishing to-day on Big Creek. I'll post some pics from over the holidays for you's when my son is home to show me how to do it. I suck at computers. He's a typical teen...

Need your help guys and gals. I have an older 22 foot Starcraft that has a leak at the seam by the transom. Some of the silicone came off when I was powerwashing it. My question is what should I use to repair it. I think it was silicone that was on it before. Just a section about 4 inches long came ...

Crash, you hit it right on the money my friend. I took him out and after only 5 minutes he got smoked by a beauty. That's all he could say or talk about after that. The next day I check my mail and he wants to go again. The look on his face said it all when that fish taught him a lesson. I was impre...

A good buddy of mine and myself fished a local trib hard yesterday. We were rewarded and each of us went 2/3. The creek had great color and is on the rise. Today should be fishable in the upper stretches but I'm guessing the concessions closer to the lake will be dirty for a few days. Scenery was gr...

I like the Drennan myself and if the tackle shop is out than I pick up my second favorite, Raven. I won't use Vanish anymore, the stuff gave me poor results. That Drennan is amazing stuff. Tim

Good job, BBR. Give Ammo a call , she'd be happy to join you being as it's so close to home for the both of you. Tim

Sounds good Floatfishin, I'm tying lots of leaders this morning, respooling line on my pin and spincast, scraping skein in anticipation of the upcoming steel headed our way. There's one, big fish, really big fish, well it was a big fish. Yeah I know, I'm nuts about steel and the great outdoors. Look...

Thanks for welcoming me fellow die-hards. I can only fish the 23rd,24th, 26th,27th,28th,29th,30th,31st and 1st. I got to miss the 25th but I can live without floating for one of those days,lol. If you's are down this way and want to share some nice scenery and drifts don't hesitate to let me know. T...

Hi to everyone and a happy safe holiday to you and your families. This is my first post here at fish-hawk. On the weekend I fished an erie trib for my favorite fish, steel. The scenery was great, Lady, my yellow lab always enjoys herself as I do and we were rewarded with some very nice fish. The cle...
