Smeltbuster? You got a pic of that Kodiak jig...and where did you get them? Can't find it. ???

Hope this helps. I have been told that they went out of business, but dont know for sure. They are based in Brooklyn. Mich. I picked up a bunch of them at "The Sportsbarn" up by Higgins,back in October. I use the 9.4 gr. sizes. They are comparble to a large Hali. They just glow better. I also change out the hooks & use one of my #14 replacement flies. The one in the pic is a BISP.

Another open water trip on 1/24 & we boated 134 smeltzillas. My brother had 57 & I had 77. We quit fishing @ 9:00 p.m. Fished 70 FOW & most of our fish came 20' down. Best flies were "Smeltbuster","Drake", & "KB Special". The wind was kicking 10-15 out of the SSW & made for tough fishing. Its hard to see the bites if there are any waves at all. Good chance that this may have been our last trip till spring. Looks like we may FINALLY be getting some ice. About 4"-5" of new snow so far today. There wer 2 other boats out last night. Dont know how they did,we left before they did. Ran the green light 30" down last night. My total so far for 3 trips is 250 fish. Boat total is 327.

Kodiak unfortunately is out of business. He was great to deal with. I ordered some jigs a few years ago. He actually dropped them off at my house on his way to Devils Lake tip up.

South Bay & 2nd. bay locked up Sun. Night/ Mon. Morning. Smelt jr. is watching the rest of the lake. Once it locks up, I will be checking the ice every other day. If the weather stays cold w/ no snow & light winds, we should be fishing the north 1/2 of the lake w/in 10 days. South bay access is very limited now. We lost the party store access. For those of you that walk on by the Jaqua sign, thinking that its legal, it is NOT. Jaqua does not own that property. You will be trespassing. One more thing, there is a a DNR Conservation officer that lives less than a mile from the lake. Hope this will get rid of some of the slobs out there.
