2/3/2014 2:54:00 PMNice seeing you out there. I was the boat that launched (and got inspected) right about the same time you did, and talked with you about the Carbon Monoxide sticker briefly at the launch.
It sounds like you found fish about the same place we did- everything we caught was in the 30-50 foot range, with most at 35-40 feet down. Everything was in 80+ feet of water though, so we were basically catching them at the halfway mark. Was it the same with you?

I'm afraid I'm a country bumpkin, never fished around the big city lakes. I hope to fish at American lake sometime this year. What the heck is a corbon monoxide sticker? something to do with car emissions?

2/4/2014 9:18:00 AMI don't have an outboard yet. I just use my electric trolling motor or arm power. thanks for the info I'll make sure I get one when I get an outboard. I'm assuming you don't need one with a n electric motor

Cool, was curious if that was you when I saw your posts tmib, happy to see you got on some fish too! Yeah most of our fish came in ~70-80' of water.
kokapaw - yep, fished the pink splatter the whole time. That's my go-to dodger and I fish it the vast majority of the time because it seldom fails. The watermelon and polka dot/clown dodgers are also good ones.
iwilfish - some politician probably had a family member that makes the CO sticker, can't understand why it'd be required in an completely open boat otherwise. Apparently we need to be warned not to suck the fumes straight out of the motor or we just might have tried it :-). Gotta laugh at this stuff sometimes. Still appreciate the game warden not making it a big deal. I'm sure you're fine with your electric without the sticker. I haven't had much success using my electric on American though, they seem to want the troll a little faster then my electric can push my livie around (it's a heavy boat for it's size, ~350lbs at 12').
Tight lines you guys!
