Hey Slimebucket, I'm feeling your pain!! I bought my first sled about 5 or 6 years ago and started catching plenty of steelies boondoggin. Now I'm in a dry spell that is driving me nuts. I think I am running my boat the same as the other guys, you don't really have a choice when fishing Blue Creek. i assume my eggs are good, I still catch fish when bank fishing or anchored, just having trouble getting them with the boat moving! Hopefully my dry spell is coming to an end, we put 2 in the boat on the Skagit yesterday.
I will be watching this thread with interest looking for my "silver bullet " though!
