  1. Do you have any pictures with out the blow up dolls in it :clap::clap: Oh sorry It you :lol::lol:

    All kidding aside this is a great boat for some one. John takes good care of his stuff. Boat was well taken care of and has had a lot of salmon come over the back of the boat Nice boat for some one up grading.

  2. Spike You could also run 4 dipsey 2 on each side 1 at a 2 1/2 setting and then the other 1 at 1 to 1/2 settings and then the 2 riggers I believe you have a Lund like mine(96 inch beam) If I would have had 2 more wire rods this spring at the bar I would have run this setup. My buddy does this all of the time it should give you a wide enough spread so you shouldn't tangle(unless you cut a corner to tight).That is going to be my goal this winter is getting 2 more wire set ups.Just my 2 cents

  3. They are little critters that have tails that they use to wrap around your line and are a real pain in the butt you can have them get so bad that they go up your line1 to 3 feet if you don't use the right line forget braid they love that stuff.They also love the heat they come on strong when it gets hot but usually gone by september (not all gone but manageable).they came from big ocean vessels rinsing out there bilge's and tanks from the salt water and the fleas had No problems adapting to fresh water.the same way the zebra mussel and Gobi's came from.They have fishing line that is called flea flicker in 20 lb and 30 lb and it does a good job keeping them off but they can still hang on a little bit I use Andie pink 30 lb line and it works enough so you can fish.If you do a search you might find some other articles on this subject.I'm pretty sure there is a better way to explain them to you but this is the best I can do.They are mostly in Lake O and I think I heard that they might be in the finger lakes also but I'm not 100% sure

  4. No not at all. You can run mono but you get a lot of stretch from mono.you can use braided line which some people do use but when the fleas are bad forget it.if you want to get deep wire is the way to go. Some days that is all that is taking hits some days it's the riggers. try a set up and see if it's what you want.Just my opinion

  5. Tim did you get your boat back from Jimmy yet? Nice set up you have. I took advantage of the no ethanol and filled up before I left I only paid $2.39 not sure if it went up but a good deal for on the water gas

  6. I feel the best wave report is to be standing at the boat ramp looking out.I come from MANY miles away to find that the report was calling for waves 1 foot or less to 3 to 5 footer out on the lake. Call up the local Tackle shops and see what they say.Also the weather reports have a 50/50 chance of being right. This is just my 25+ years of coming to Lake O talking :lol: But if I had to choose it would be this one for inshore
