Traveling Circus

I've run Shimano Triton rods that were purchased in the 90's for downrigging, with a twilli tip and they've worked fine......... like above, they may not be perfect, but they've worked fine and keep on ticking.

Sent you a PM.......

It's the cell phone era........

This is the 1st season we've run Chamberlain releases, and they do perform as advertised....... the silver bass on Erie will trip them..... they're pretty sweet.

Heard a story from Olcott about water rushing out of 18 mile during a T-storm, years ago...... and then 2 years ago while coming into Sandy to avoid a T-storm, there was an unusual amount of current in the creek rushing towards the lake..... hard to explain, but I'm sure it was somehow related to that storm.

Back when meat became 1st became popular, I ran it, and it produced well for me........ back then, I ran in mostly in the fall to staging kings behind 11" flashers. Since then, I've transitioned to Rockets. I've had some super days with it, and some not so super. But in general, once I learned how to tune it and how to run it, it produces as well as "real meat".... run behind spinneys, dodgers, flashers, and clean at all times of the year. I rarely fish real meat anymore........ It's not the answer you were hoping for, but it is my experience.

You don't get away from the mercury by trimming away the belly and lateral lines. The other contaminants yes..... the mercury, no.

I had one of my dogs dig up some rotten fish out of the garden last fall/winter.............. WHHHHOOOOOO did that dog STINK! I was gonna kill him, but couldn't stand the smell to get close enough to do it..... I don't know what would possess a dog to try to eat something like that...... must be a hound thing.

Who were the top 10? is there a "results" post someplace?
