Great job there captain. Whomever that has never dragged a fish, has not trolled. Couple of tips. For any boat and especially a tiller boat the lines need to be as far forward as possible to leave room at back to land the fish. The rod holders can be close together if you keep the rod tips separated by tilting the holders this allows the lines to pass when the fish hits. Also if the furthest rod forward is in an upright position other boats can more easily see you have lines out. Looks like only 8 lines out? More lines mean more fish assuming you learn to keep from tangling lines. Can always run bottom bouncers off rod holders up front using 3 r 4 ounce. Behind these run any of Harnesses, Spoons, or Cranks.

Appreciate the tips! I was thinking about putting one of my down east clamp rod holders on the back transom to run a heavy bottom bouncer straight off the back. It hasn't been cheap getting all this gear and equipment for my new boat and deciding how I wanted to rig it. Especially I'll only be fishing Erie amd trolling it during the fall and a little in the spring. I have no interest in taking this boat out more than a few miles as I got stuck on a friend's bass boat before in some really nasty waves and thought we were done for. I actually put on my life jacket and took control of his boat.

I also wanted to get two more of the extensions for the exact reason you mentioned about angling the rods further apart. I believe as time goes on and rods break, I'm going to separate the sizes by 6" each rod from back to front.

[@earlybirdfishing]

That"'s one sweet set up you could win it all.

[@karlwolf101]

Thanks! I put a lot of thought into this boat and rigging it how I wanted. Keeping my fingers crossed to get the big winning fish this fall, I need to as I don't want to spend the next year out on the road 6 days a week

Justin talking about the swans while reeling in a eye 😂🤣

[@karlwolf101]

The swans were dope

[@MuddyJoker585]

Fashionable statement

[@slimshadycustoms]

Quick tip: Put your reels on “clicker” and loosen the drag to where it barely holds. That way, you will hear when a fish hits. No doubt if you have one or not. Secondly, with dipseys, if you think you had a hit, bring it up and check it, because it’s easy to drag one around for 30-40 minutes otherwise. Especially with all the small ones around.

[@karlwolf101]

Great tips! Definitely going to try that with the dipsey rods, would help greatly if visually miss the initial hit

[@slimshadycustoms]

@@karlwolf101 Works with board rods too. Just make sure to tighten them before reeling the fish in and then loosen them back up a bit after removing the board. Big fish usually make a last second surge at the boat and if your drag is still tight from reeling the board in, they can get off. Also, if I am having trouble getting a dipsey to release, I point the rod at the dipsey and pull straight back. That usually does it easily.

[@karlwolf101]

@slimshadycustoms I always leave my musky rods loose when trolling also.

[@slimshadycustoms]

@@karlwolf101 I also like using vertical trees and similar rods for all of my board rods. That way, you can easily tell if one of the rods is bending more than the rest. That's not as big of an issue with big fall or spring walleyes, but it really helps with the 13-14" shakers that we get in the summer.

[@rickyrishel8198]

How about a 1 oz weight on a worm harness

[@karlwolf101]

I've never been much into harnesses as I'm used to all the little fish picking them off in reserviour fishing. During the warmer months, people do really well with them though

[@FlshingFools]

bananas bad luck

[@karlwolf101]

They used to say the same thing about women on a boat.But everybody wants a woman on their boat
