J.D.

I'm the guy ERABBIT is talking about. PM me your email address and I will send you a copy of the post I put together a few years back. I also fish alone most trips, and only run Slide Divers with my wire. Jim

Braddocks will be dredged, and new barrier beaches installed by the Army Core of Engineers starting this spring. Word on the street.... the marina off E.Manitou Rd. is to receive major upgrades. I'm hoping someone else can add some info on the marina, as the docks are taped off, and the office is empty. http://www.lrb.usace.army.mil/Missions/CivilWorks/DistrictProjects/BraddockBay.aspx

Slide Divers for me the past 10 seasons. Wire all year long, a longer mono leader in the spring

Turning with the big boards out has to be a slow, wide turn, or you end up with the problems you describe. I've used the old "Jolly Releases" for years with no problems, but they seem to have gone out of business. I changed over to the Scotty mini releases and they seem to be no problem if they end up in the water for a bit.

X2 !!

I use Sterns, West Marine, and an Onyx belt pack when it's hot out. Also had one deploy in a hot, wet storage locker. I fish mostly alone and never ever leave the dock without using one. I agree the best thing to do is try a few on at the store and fid the one that fits you best. They are pricey, but how much is your life worth?? We spend thousands on fishing equipment, then complain about the price of life jackets....... At least wear a belt pack if you don't like the vest style. Here's a video of the belt pack I use when it's too warm to use a vest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB1K2wJC8Vc

I also have a Sport PIlot, installed it myself in a few hours.... so far, 9 seasons of flawless service

Make your own..... $20 for materials at the local home center.

Construction crews are connecting the new marina with the river as of last Monday. I was asked to leave the area as shovels and payloaders moved boulders around, and dug out the entrance channel. I don't think they work on weekends so you should be good to go. Jim S.
