goin deep

Stop in at Screwy Louies and ask them what would be a good depth to find the browns. Also, ask at the boat launch for advise on where to fish for browns.

Billy V has a good article on his website on fishing spring browns. There is a lot of good advise in the article such as lure selection, line size, etc. http://www.billyvsportfishing.com/Tips___Techniques.php

I'll be fishing Fairhaven this weekend but if the kings are still there, I'll be going after them. Good luck!

Congrats Billy and crew!!!

WOW!!! I never heard of a whitetail scoring over 400 before. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen one score over 300. What a buck!!!!!!!

Brian

There is only one reel left.

Brian

Sincere condolences to you and your family.

I think Mark AKA Polarbear must have hit the wrong key when he entered his age. Any way, Happy birthday Mark!!!!!!!!!

I got a new Fish Hawk X-4. I like the idea of no coated cable and having the surface speed and temp. The Depth Raider is a great unit.

Home Depot and Lowes have a good assortment of stainless bolts. I work with stainless every day and like Longline mentioned, don't overtighten!

It's been a while since I've used Cannon Manual downriggers but if I remember correctly,there is a clutch/ brake system on the handle. When you want to let the weight down, slowly (until you get used to it) turn the handle backwards and the clutch will let the weight down. One word of advise, when you get the weight to your desired depth, take one hand and hold the spool tight and give the handle a little extra crank to make sure the clutch doesn't let any extra cable out.

I should also have asked you what you want to fish for so we can give you ideas on lures.

Brian

It definately sucks! With the economy in such bad shape, I know I'm going to have a harder time getting friends to go fishing for the weekend. I have a hard enough time trying to get them to enter the LOC derbies because they don't want to spend the money.

Thanks for the tip Iceman! Just ordered one!

I hope you remembered to take your wallet and cell phone out of your shorts first!

I bought the X4 from A-Tom-Mik last week and Tom told me there is a 2-4 week backorder for them.

I run a 15lb shark down the chute on my probe rigger. It has little blowback and tracks very well. They are a little pricy but I think they are well worth the money.

I have my copper marked every 50 feet with heat-shrink tubing so I know how much line is out. I don't think the line counter would be very accurate due to the large diameter of the copper. Just my opinion.

Check out this flasher holder I found on Ebay. Looks nice!
