    I use a uni to uni on the mono to power pro knot. On the mono copper end, I use a spro with the haywire twist and shrink tubing.

    I also spliced in 6' of 50lb mono on all my coppers to clip on to. The releases hold a lot better on the mono.

    Ask Gator about almost getting spooled on my 300 copper a couple years ago. We hooked a 27lb king in the dorsal fin and it was down to the last couple wraps before we could get the boat turned. With that in mind, if you run copper off the boards, 150yds of backing is not nearly enough. Down the shoot is a little less hairy.

    That rod will work but the reel is a no go. Daiwa Seagate 50's and 60's will work up to a 400' copper. Above that you will have to go to a Penn 345 gti or a Okuma Soltara. My top producing coppers are a 300 and a 500. You will want 250 - 300 yds of 50lb power pro backing. Guys use less but I would not risk getting spooled.

    I run the scotty plainer releases. Buy the double stackers and cut the line. Buy some shower curtain hooks at the dollar store and you get two for the price of one.

    This past Sunday that water was right out front from shore to 520'. Past that it was crystal clear.

    Keep on hating boys. Leave them for my crew and I.

    The currents are strong at times. We have had a lot of wind lately which will add to it.

    Take your altenator to the place on Lyell Ave and have them rebuild your altenator. I had them do mine and never have to worry about charging my batteries.

    GPS speed and lure speed at the ball can be very different. You are better off getting a speed and temp unit. This past weekend we had a GPS speed of 3.0 but at the ball we were doing 1.9-2.1 down 40'.

    Thank you John! Leave them all for us!

    Last week Sadny was on fire. Temp was set up really good until the East winds. The East winds have broken up what good temps we had set up. When I was out last Friday, we had 58 on top and 49 degrees down to 80'. We took kings from 40 - 85 down. The early bite was also the key. We had 9 kings on the floor before 7am. after 9am it was really slow.

    They are the best cowbell out there. I have been running them for years and taken many lakers over 20lbs with them. If you keep the speed below 1.8 mph, they are lights out. Above 1.8 they do not produce as many hits.

    90 - 120 had a ton last week.

    I never take the plainer rods and short cores off my boat. The summer of 2013, we were fishing browns in 25-35 fow in July and crushing them on short cores. There are times during upwellings that they will come into play also.

    Sounds like the clutch needs adjustment.

    Narrowing it down to one combo is tough. Two is a lot easier! My two favorites are the Live Wire Spin Doctor with a Green Crinkle Atommik or the Hammertime Spin Doctor with a Green Hammer Atommik.

    It was $150.00 per boat last year. I have to talk with Rob and Scott to see if it is the same this year. We also do a calcutta that is $50.00/boat.

    The shootout is July 25th. If you pay in cash, you can meet up with Legacy, Silver Fox or myself before the date and sign up.

    No it states boats under 17' are legal. It would have to be 16' 11 15/16" long or shorter.

    Die off. It happened last year too. They are stressed from spawning and not in the greatest health after the long winter.
  23. GAMBLER
    Snubbers are not needed. Ditch them!

    Call lowrance if you can not find it. Some new ones are compatible but you will lose surface temp.

    He puts straight 30w in my boat Matt.
