Detroit River ,Lake Erie, and Lake Michigan fishing action and tips. Captain Matt Sell share his tips on tackle ,locations and shares some action videos. Jigging the Detroit River , trolling Lake Erie's huge walleye and steelhead, and trolling for Lake Michigan salmon are his main focus.
I have used the electric and 1050 riggers for many years. ru-vid.comUgkxbjBedIFSQ6Y6rp8DrCC_aoWMZI8GUpmH I bought these lake trollers for my 15’ Grumman sport boat and they worked almost perfectly for fishing lake trout. The only negative is that they seemed sticky on the retrieval, so I removed the spool and greased the underside of the stainless steel plate with some lip balm (the only thing I could think to use that I had on the boat with me). Then they worked much more smoothly. I don’t recommend using these down riggers if you’re planning on fishing deeper than 50’ as you’ll spend more time cranking than you will fishing.
Matt, nice video; just stumbled across this from 2011 (published in 2014?). Couple questions: you stay over locally ? If so, rent cottage with dock on RB? Do you always set your counter down on top of the gunnel, and do you still have it?😂DoubleJay (aka Jay Robertson) hope you’re doing well buddy.
We always pop are first clip on the boards, then let them swing around then reel them straight up the center, then there's no pole switching or reeling in other lines on that side, same thing using the BIG boards on my mast
*We tried this out finally yesterday and it worked awesome! **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s we put it on our 16 foot aluminum boat and trolled with it. We didn’t catch anything but it was still fun and worked awesome! Can’t wait to use this baby again and hopefully reel in a big ole fish! Very easy to install and set up.*
Man I tell you what Sir bout there-that dang ol meaning o’life, man. It’s like this man. You’ like a butterfly flappin ‘is wings deep down in that forest man an’ it gonna cause a tree fall like five thousand miles away man. If-an ain’t no body see it nobody don-done-e’en know it happen you know ibda baby born into this world int’know neck god dang friends got no nothin but da go come into find out about em ol evil man. Man see like, you don even know man. When-dyagon it’d like you born into this world man and you got - it’s like this: dust in the wind man, or like a dang ol’ candle in the wind man. You gon - it don matter man it’s not the old oldies all th’ time man. You know what I think man? It’d like the the dang ol - I think therefore you are man.
works great, nice heavy connectors ur2.pl/2283 Used 2 of these on recent Salmon trip in Lake Ontario and several walleye trips in lake Erie. The speed is fast and takes some getting used to. Auto up works great but you'd better use a backing plate when mounting as the whole boat shakes when the 12lb weight breaks the surface and stops on a dime.
To keep your dipsy from spinning LET THE LINE OUT WITH THE CLICKER ON! Do not free spool nor use your thumb to control descent. If you forget even three feet into the water, reel it back in, inspect and start over. Happy fishing.
*I bought this knife to replace one I lost.>>>**allabout.wiki/i9lt** I've always had one. A very fine all-purpose fishing knife. Designed for filleting but it's wicked sharp and if used carefully it will cut most anything. The little sharpener is a bonus.*
Slick rig Andy. Cool thing is it’s completely and easily removable. Nice thing also, they can be made for any length tail trailing behind that hook. You fishing in the big river port Huron or Detroit area. We were out today jiggin minnows and picked up some nice eyes
You have no idea what your are talking about, the electric knife method is much easier to ride the backbone thus ensuring there is nothing left behind; I am guessing you don't clean many walleye.
there most certainly are tips in the video. Also the handicapped guy reeling in upside down and backwards really appreciates you making fun of the only way he can reel a fish in ! The problem with the internet is that it brings out the assholes....meaning YOU !!
