  1. I just picked up one of my Traxstech model 230 rod holder and the tube just fell off of the base. I spoke with Traxstech and they told me that they had a bad batch and send it back for repair.

    They said to make sure the drain holes are clear. The bad batch of adhesive will be fine if the water drains out. I was told because when they put it together the drain holes were filled with the adhesive and the water can’t get out. The water boils and loosens the adhesive.

    The problem I have with this is the rod holders were in a compartment in the boat on their side.

    The drain holes on the other three holders are clear, but I don’t know if the one that was broken was clear. I had removed the adhesive before I called them.

    These holders are just a little over a year old.

    They all feel tight, but I don’t know if I want use them without putting a bolt thru the tube.

    Sure glad I didn’t have a rod in the holder trolling wire.

  2. If you stop in just about any tackle shop in the area and ask what they are hearing, they will tell you what depth of water their friends did yesterday. That’s a good place to start. Also look for the fleet while out on the water in the AM. It will spread out during the day, but it’s a good place to start. Pay attention to your depth finder to see where you are marking fish. Go from there and change your lures, color, speed, direction and so forth. I prefer to stay away from the fleet, but it will give you a good starting place. Just don’t get on top of people.

    Just my $0.02

  3. Ray,

    If you want a good steak, take the wife to the Dan'l Webster Inn, It’s in Sandwich. Walk around the corner I think it’s about two blocks, go over the bridge and on to the beach. Did catch some stripers there years ago.

    Go to the Cape Cod Canal on the cape side. You can walk or bike ride it and stop to fish. It has some good fishing, but the tide moves fast thru it.

    Quick tip: If you go to the Kennedy compound, Don’t Drive In!!! Been There Done That!

    Have fun
