  1. Yes, like anything else they have their days.
  2. Use Ande 40 lb. No problem with the knots over 30 lb and less flea problems on the leader
  3. Nice work!!!
  4. yes as far as I know. Good guy to do business with.
  5. 65 lb braid backer to copper, 25 ft leader of fluorocarbon from copper to lure. 20 lb for spoons or plugs 30 to 40 lb leader for flasher flys.
  6. Without reading all the responses to this post, fishing the salmon river area I've been seeing more two year old fish maturing every year for the last 10 years or so. It's not a lack of bait situation causing a lower weight thing its two year old fish maturing. Period.
  7. Thru hull if it's a fiberglass boat.
  8. I have had that happen a couple times on some Okuma roller rods in the past. Upgraded to Shimano Talora roller rods probably 15 years ago and never had it happen again. Very little friction with the roller rods and the wire lasts a long time if it;s not damaged or kinked otherwise.
  9. fishing "in the Bay" is spotty. Just nw in deeper water is hot for salmon. Fish 50 to 55 deg break and it;s been moving down every day I been out. Day before yesterday it was 90 too 100 ft down, The best fishing I've ever seen in early July 160 to 225 fow. Chrome/ a little green on the paddles with an old Siggs rigs mirage fly and LLB Atomic meat rigs with Atomic cut bait is working good and consistent. A lot of 2 yr old fish with an occasional mature but not a lot of the one year olds a lot of boats are taking. Giant Lakers are about 12 miles north of the bay in 130 to 160 fow with cowbells and spin and glows run just off bottom. Brown trout are west of the plant in 70 to 90 fow. Go get um. I scheduled a couple weeks off to take care of some personal business and wish I didn't now. Good luck!!
  10. Prayers already sent. It doesn't look good. I still find it hard to believe this craft was not equipped with a gps tracking system.
  11. Slimy grimy (enviormentally friendly) and a pressure washer on fiberglass. Whatever of the dark skumline at the water line that doesn't come off with the slimy grimy I hit with a little acetone on a rag. Bottom paint and wax will make the job so much easier at the end of the season. As well as prevent blistering of the gel coat.
  12. A full career of talent and great music. Every Great Lakes fishermen can relate to Nov 11th 1975 when the Edmond Fitzgerald went down.
  13. Sorry for your loss Nick
  14. Either Diawa directly or maybe tunas reel troubles as they stock a lot of diawa parts
  15. I bought a roll of I believe it was parachute cord that works good. I'll double check what it was when I get up to the lake tomorrow. I fact I got a lot left so if you happen to be going through mexico I can give you some.
  16. You the guy that started making the original SS 2nd keels a few years ago?
  17. OK. Area code 413 519-3019
  18. Heres my cell # 519-3019. You can pm me yours if you want Glen ( Reel Adventure Charters ) Mikes east which is off the road down to the state launch.
  19. I should be but if not I can leave them with a friend at Mikes marina for you.
  20. Excellent condition. See the pictures just taken today.
  21. Both have 4 ft extendable handles, both quality nets with 21" hoops. The frabil capture is a light weight net easily manipulated with one hand while the rod is in the other hand. $35.00 The Power catch is built like a tank and will lift any fish you can fit in the hoop. $65.00 Will ship on your dime but would rather not. Will be in Mexico starting next week.
