The only time you run into problems putting out your wires first is if you deploy the copper too fast. Set the copper rod and let it "settle" before putting it on the board. Another tip, Do not turn sharp or your copper will find the high dipsy. Don't ask me how I know that one.
Codie,
Ditch the Luhr Jensons and buy some Hammerheads. I used to use the Luhr Jensens and there was a ton of drag with them. For Hammerheads, I use Crystalina, Mountain Dew, All Silver, and Gold and silver.
32 NK 28's and 17 mags, 10 Northport Nailers, 7 R&R and 9 I don't know the brand of. Some have never touched water. $75.00 local pick up. $85.00 shipped to your door.
I-bay is loaded with them in May- June. The Genesee River is also loaded. When I was in Highschool, we went down to the pier on a cloudy day in late May and hammered the sheephead. Crabs under a slip float with a 10' lead was the key. A guy came over to us and asked us to keep them for him. We kept 34 large sheephead for him. We ran out of bait so he went to the old Hollow Grinders and paid for more bait. He said he loved to smoke them. He said they tasted like whitefish. I don't know about that but I have never tried.
Lakers are more like finess fishing. Got to keep the balls skipping on the bottom, slow crawl for a troll and keep the boat straight in the lightest breeze. Small lakers are a dime a dozen but 20lbers are hard to come by (unless you are on the Bar at the right time).
[quote name="Yankee TrollerSpring is only 10g's bri' date=' and the only laker that comes aboard YT3 is an accident! Lol

Thats alright Rick. Leave those lakers for me to cash in on. Mid day when the king bite slows and most guys go back to the dock, I'm still out there dragging around farming equipment. It is a fun way to finish out a good day on the water. Kings in the am and lakers mid day.
So what your telling me is if the winning laker is caught on the Yankee Troller 3, you are going to let it go? $20,000 is $20,000 dollars no matter what species.
