Nope, but its simple. Instead of taking the hook harness and putting it through the j-plug take a squid all hooked up and slide the leader through the bottom of the plug and hook the loop to your swivel from the rod. Let me see if I can get a pic for you tomarrow when im out.

Hey dude ya think I can cut my boat out of those videos? I would love that for the website. Its too bad you didnt get me chucking apples at that baha that caught my copper on day two of Sodus . Now there would have been some good footage.

Hey Jax.....you may of caught more on your side, but the bigger ones came off mine! IF you would have payed attention you might have caught something I was doing differently. By the way you dont win tourneys on numbers, but you do on bigger fish!

Gotta bite - WE put two 30lb Salmon in the boat last year (One JUly 4th weekend and one Labor day weekend). The one JUly fourth weekend took a pink glow squid. I finally found some more of these in the last few weeks and I plan on running them in the next few weeks. Another thing you can do with squids is put them through your j-plug instead of the hook harness.

Im running 25lb McCoy Mean Green, which is a mono line.

J.D. is correct, but sometimes the fish can get leadcore shy and the longer leader is the key!

I use 100' but you will get a hundred different answers to this one. Some guys swear by 25'. If you do 100' by the end of the season it wil lbe down quite a bit. There is no wrong asnwer to this as long as your above 25' IMHO

I have 6 white with double crushed glow and 6 Green with double crushed glow. $7/per flasher. These are the directional flashers.

How old is the unit?

I would be interested in two 9'6" heartland dipsey rods if hyou have them.

Yeah, its a soft platic bait made by reaction inovations. Great bait to flip!

Go with the Depth Raider or the Moor and you wont be disappointed! I dont know too may guys around that will reccomend the Fish Hawk anymore.

No Promises - are you really serious? I have been running that thing for 2 years now.

No, I did 50-60 there in the AM and 40-50 onthe way back.

Fished a little tourney and figured my best bet for a win would be to run to Irondequoit since I had been pulling some solid fish from there lately. NOAA said 1' or less which is fine with me. Well, the trip there was 1-2's and the trip back was 1-3's with a 4 in the mix. Rough ride back,and the fish didnt cooperate with me in Irondequoit. The water level looked to have dropped about 6-8". Back in Sodus we didnt some fish off docks, but nothing out of the weeds. We weighed in eleven and a half pounds which was in the middle of the pack. A lot of 10-13lb bags and not many big bags like usual.

Fished from 6-10:30 with limited success. Had some nice blow ups on buzzbaits in the morning, but no hookups. Then I hit a 3lb and a 2.5lb LM on a senko. Later towards the end I hit a 2lb LM on a sweet beaver. Still very slow, but if you put your time in there could be some nice fish taken.

nope it was nasty coming back! 1-3's with a 4 thrown in. my back is paying for it today.

Did you see me run by you sinday morning? I was headed to Irondequoit from Sodus?

I'LL TAKE A CORE OR COPPER FISH ANYTIME, ANY DAY!

Hey, any of you guys fishing off Irodequoit tomarrow morning. I might be headed there from Sodus in the blue bomber! I have a little tourney out of Sodus tomarrow and if the weather is permitting I am going to run to either Irondequoit or Braddocks. Should be fun! 34 mile run at 65MPH FUN!

You can never look at it as wasting gas! You should learn something from every trip out whether u kill em or go blank.

Mark, we would all appreciate you wearing your shirt in pictures from now on! I heard they have been somking them out front, but Im moving the boat to FH for a month. C-ya all in Sept for some combat trolling.

Dont go under 50lb. A lot of guys are using floro but that gets expensive. You can get Trilene Big Game in clear from BPS and do a ton of flies. I have had the same spool for 2 years and I bet I have 5 more years of tying flies with the amount of line on that spool, and I rig 50 flies a year probably.

Billy V and I used them, and so did Jax. He has been stricken by some bad business decisions due to not getting his partners visa so she could come work in the USA. Other than that you will learn a lot and he makes the class fun!

Yup
