When will the flies be gone. Last night was horrible! My boat looks like it has black carpet flooring, which was tan vinyl. Can some one tell me when they clear up or what works best? I know bug spray works as an attractant...

Report: I went out of the Duluth entrance around 3pm to 80 fow and marked a few in 64 deg. Actually had to head towards the Pump house to get to cooler water (41 near mcquade launch). Did not mark much and went 0/3. two board slipped back and knocked fish off near the boat, first time for me. I just switched over to inline boards...not a fan, yet. The other spit the red thin fin which was on lead core 80 ft back.

Sun night: Caught 3 coho, 1 laker and a 25in King (5/5 in 4 hours) and marked a ton of fish in 80 fow with temps from 48 to 52, all fish were in the 10-40 ft range. fire tiger and wonder bread reef runners did all the damage. I have only been out 3 or 4 times this year, I don't plan on going out until fly season ends or someone has a solution!

      Did you have any luck?     I got a bird but didn’t really do much for pics worth showing.

      It depends on a lot of factors, I suppose.   I hung on to my last gas auger for a few years after getting into electric but I never used it so I finally sold it.  Haven’t missed it one bit.  You bet it was reliable though.  Still started on the second pull for the new owner.   After trying several options in the electric world, I’m currently settled on a Strikemaster 40V with Liteflight bits.  With 2 fully charged batteries, I fish all day in Canada, cutting 10 inch holes.     What I’ll agree with is, if you search by drilling and flasher sonar, you will probably be more comfortable with the run time of a gas auger.  When you start incorporating GPS mapping, forward facing sonar, and saved waypoints, you don’t need to Swiss cheese every spot you fish.  I can still run through both batteries when the fishing isn’t great but I never feel like I have to count my holes.  It’s more like: Did I need the second battery before the middle part of our fishing hours?  If I still can’t catch fish after running out 2 batteries, it doesn’t matter cuz the fish just ain’t biting.   That’s fishing on the dark side! 😉
