BP Swing

Tim,

Thanks. Finally an answer to my question about why the difference. Thanks to all for getting me straight. I will increase the pressure to 50 PSI. BP

Yes I get that but that doesnt answer my question about why a truck/car tires are different. They dont go to the max. How was I supposed to know its different?

The one thing that confuses me is if I should be putting it at its max (50 psi) then why is my vehicle different? My Pathfinder calls for 26 PSI on all 4 wheels. ????????? but no doubt the max on the truck tires is much more than that.

So I would have to drive down there to get it? You don't happen to have any mailable spools do you?

They havent made that line in like 2-3 yrs now so it must be an old spool.

Dam...I better get with the program. I always thought that was just a maximum amount and thought if it was at the max, they would wear out too fast in the middle of the tire.

If Im going to use 30 then I may as well use the Blood run which is flea resistant. I figured there was no way around the flouro leader and never really had any issues with the back to back uni knot except its still one more link to break. Why they discontinued the flea flicker is beyond me.Thanks.

OK thanks. So most of you guys are running at or near the max?  Shoot Ive always run them well below like 35 (and just had to replace a set that wore on the edges) I'll be darn......

Reluctantly I have to get rid of my flea ficker 20 lb line on my downrigger rods (getting too old). Since its no longer made the only thing similar is blood run 30 lb but I think 30 is too heavy. I dont feel like changing it in mid summer either so Id like to know what others are using on their downrigger rods as a good general all around Trout/salmon line. Thanks BP

I guess I could use the 30 with a flouro leader but hate having the extra connection knot.

Was wondering what other 18 foot aluminum boat owners use for tire inflation settings? The tire and trailer both say 50 psi max but I hate to put anything at max. Its a ez loader trailer. Ive been using 35psi but now Im wondering if its too low since even the trailer says 50.???

No Im in a boat using it. Light line never scared me, been doing it since the 70s. Never had any issues as long as you are not horsing the fish and have a light rod. I had Seneca in mind for this all the while. I know most use 4 but when I go to 4 it feels like anchor rope compared to 2. Do whatever works for you.

I use 2 lb nano and a flouro leader on Seneca to cast a country mile.

Never had any issues and i use a flouro leader

It explodes off the spool like no other. Distance line but expensive.

Isnt it catch and release only during the early season? Hope so

Havent heard much about I Bay perch. Anybody getting any? Thanks BP

Even though the battery has a 5 yr min life, the website says it has a 7-10 yr useful life, then I guess you buy another.  

Can anyone recommend this little device? (Fish Hawk TD) I like the idea of it and it seems to have good online reviews but I see the minimum battery life is 5 yrs. and its a sealed battery. Im not crazy about throwing this away in 5 yrs.($149)  It hasnt even been out 5 yrs either to tell. Anyone here using it? Thanks 

I bet he does it again when no one is around. Can't teach an old dog new tricks. An ass will be an ass and I bet he is not alone in this thinking. Some Walleye guys are known to do this. Old school thinking. 

I dont think it comes in 87 for no ethanol. Marina gas is usually old anyways, avoid it if you can.

What is lighter on the hammerheads? Less blades though i think . The luhr jensens have about 6 - 7 blades if i remember right vs 3-4 for the hammerheads.

Theres a smartphone app called pure gas showing nearby stations with the ethonol free. Any outboard mechanic will tell you ethanol is bad news. Avoid like plague.

It has been discontinued for several years now. Perchmasters that is. Still the duckhunters derby though.

A fish like that is at least 20 yrs old so dont worry there will be another like it in 20 years . Too big to eat , could of got a reproduction. Sacandaga has a history of giant pike so hopefully it will bounce back . Nice catch though.

All tournaments should be catch and release. Period. Yes ice fisherman do not seem to be as conservation minded as open water anglers. I noticed that too.
