Happy Birthday Silver Fox! Larry

Very ingenious invention, very clever. May be adaptable to raise and lower outriggers, open and close the cooler, hand up a beer, I see no limit to it's applications. Nice work

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and thanks to all LOU members who generously share their knowledge here. Thanks to all the troops keeping us safe and making our celebrations possible. May Twenty eleven should be the beginning of a great decade for all. Larry

In case anyone has asked Santa for some needed fishing equipment and is wondering where it is, here's the link to keep an eye on the Big Red fella as he makes his rounds, the younger ones might want to see where he's at as well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! http://www.noradsanta.org/en/index.html Larry

Nice catch Joe, I'm glad to see you're big fish tactics casting finally came across something big enough to prove your point. Just remember to use that excuse the next time you don't catch any. You two are crazy going out in that freezing weather but it looks like it was worth it this time by the big smile on your frozen face.

Happy Birthday you fashionista, argyle never goes out of style! Enjoy your day and let us know what's in this year so we can ask Santa for the hot items. Hope you have a great birthday. Is it true Johnny Cash invented the pay toilet?

Down-rigging is a very simple way to control the depth of the lure you're presenting. The lure is attached to the cable with a release( cheapest being MuskyBob's biodegradable rubber bands) that will allow the angler to pull it off with the pole or a fish by striking the lure. A lead weight is used to pull the cable down and there should be a counter on the downrigger to indicate the depth. That's it. What-ever pole or lures you're use to running give them a try, watch how they run in water at the speed you are trolling if they have a good action that you think will produce, send em down, keep the line from going slack as you set it, tighten it a little more when it's at the depth you want. Try adding a cheater too, a piece of line about 8' long with a spoon on one end and a snap swivel on the other, once your main line is set reach out and grab the line and connect the snap swivel (crosslocks preferred) then toss out the lure. It will run at the bow in the line, that gives you 4 lures in the water and will increase your chance for success. Really not hard to do once you try and at your advanced age and AARP status you will find it easier on your arthritis to troll. Just kiddin' I'm at the speed limit too.

Happy Birthday Gasman, careful with that many candles near the propane!!

That's obviously the DEC robo deer, budget problems so they are forced to use damaged robots, trying to catch a Rebel night jacking a buck, don't do it

Happy Birthday Hank, thanks for all you do here (LOU) and at the shop, you're a legend with a wrench or a pole. Have a great one!!

Great inaugural event Rob, Keith, Scott and Hans, Mike and family, Charlie, Pat etc.etc. It all came together very nicely despite the weather. Congrats to the hard working fishing tandom Jay and Trish on the win. Mike, we could have used an ice cream booth to settle Jerry's debts to your girls, maybe next year.
