    So today, for the first time in probably 7 or 8 years I got into some pick up games of B-Ball and learned a few new things. First, they obviously have raised the rim about 8" from the last time I played. Second, the ball is much more slippery than the one we used to play with, it also seems to bounce crooked hitting my knees and hands awkwardly. Also, the court is much larger and takes longer to get around. It may also be slanted with any direction I travel most obviously now uphill from the...

    Yeah, I have had multiple occasions where I had two steelies take the main and the slider same time. Never though when they weren't less than about 7 pounds combined. Always wondered how long two kings would play nice before breaking me off, lol.

    I agree with many others. My average shows good 5-8, so-so 8-10, dead awful 10-1, great 1-4, poor 4-dark. For some reason much of my best fishing is early afternoon, especially the Coho and Steelie bite that I have killed on in that range. As a result now I have started to only fish for kings until 11AM, then maybe leave 2 lines in for a prayer and start transitioning over to spoons higher in the water column after lunch. If anyone knows the secret of the evening bite fill me in, I'd love to know what I'm missing.

    Stacking refers to multiple rods on a rigger, all with a relatively fixed position in depth. Spider is usually as Gambler described. Now many stack and run a slider on the upper line same time.

    I ran out in the evening, about 4:30 start. Setup out front at 150 FOW and setup blind from 110 down to 50, a couple of spinners and the rest spoons. Ran NW out to 325 FOW, then back SE to 120. It was 45 to 47 F at 90 down the whole trip. Marked good bait at 250 FOW up high between 30 and 50 but saw no sharks or action. Pulled out at 7:00. Was generally a nice evening minus the black flies that tried to eat our souls.

    Great day breaking in "Line Change" with the Admiral and little buddy First Mate. Almost flawless from day one...I love it when a bunch of time put in pays off.

    Happy hour run to the Rochacha tomorrow, final send off to an old friend. Once I tuck him in to sweet dreams of his reunion with his wifey when the street lights come on, not sure what to do....hmmm... #lookingfortroubleinrochester :)

    Gates Chili will you be rioting or mourning tonight with the passing of the Boss, Tony Soprano?

    My god...I just realized that Kim and Kanye just provided the side kick that Snooki's kid will be found with in a hotel enjoying a bag of heroin someday.

    Matt, replied. James, VHF yes, mount no. You can get stainless for $35, nylon for less...but blah on nylon.

    Got a Shakespeare 5101 still new in the box that I don't have a need for. $40 bucks, can meet somewhere in Erie or Niagara probably.

    12:30 PM, see CBP cop flying over north bridge. I turn to Amy and state "Must be something important, maybe illegals at Mighty Taco" Amy doubts my skills and states that he is probably going to Tim Hortons or something. So I tail him 4 miles all the way to the Mighty drive through lane. Yup, proving to the wife I actually DO know it all, priceless, lol.

    I personally believe it depends on the layout of the boat, the size of the boat and how many rods you usually need/want to have in the water. To get REAL deep and do it with 7+ rods it is tough to get there without the 4th rigger. Now that said, if you don't have a wide beam or an inboard powered boat, the 4th rigger might be so much of a disadvantage as to skip having it. What I mean is that, with an I/O or outboard the middle 3rd of the transom (or a corner if running a kicker) is already lost. Running two more riggers off the tail leaves zero netting room. If you have a wide boat and run off an inboard, you have the whole chute clear to bag fish. My rig is 9'8" wide but it I/O and has a kicker. I'm only going to run 3 riggers restricting myself to how many deep rods I can run, but making my live much easier. There is a lost art out there that many of those fishing today have lost. While copper, divers and lead are fine, they don't get you down 150'+ in the summer where the big pigs live. The lost art of stacking does, and for those that go back that far and mastered it, it allows you to safely run 12 lures off 3 riggers and 9 rods downtown without adding all the extra clutter and equipment. That is how I run in the heat, then in the fall switch out to divers and copper when the fish move back up in the top 100. Spring: Two riggers, boards, copper and divers. Summer: Three riggers, a few divers. Fall: Two riggers, copper, divers. (I try to keep boards out of the water as traffic makes them annoying..I also don't find a need to run more then 12 lines almost ever)

    Yeah, that 330 Grady...now that would be a rig that might make me check the weather less, lol.

    First thing...I have nothing to do with Collins Marine other than having it 3 minutes from my house. Second, I do not, nor have I ever had, $159,000 to spend on a boat. third, spending $159,000 on a boat might require some sort of therapy to be administered. That said...WOW http://www.collinsmarine.com/showroom.html

    yawn...for once I have nothing to do, home alone...and I am so freaking BORED!

    All new electronics and wiring done. Glass work all done. Rough mechanical done. Next stop, oil change engine and outdrive, add a fuel water separator that isn't there, new belts, new bilge pumps, new water pump, new seals, new bellows..maybe a few other things when the universals/gimbals and such are exposed. We'll see what else is worth getting into when outdrive is off. Probably new plugs, wires and coil too. Anything else worth looking at, replacing and such while I'm at it? Getting close to seeing if it floats, LOL!

    Reason 143 of why hiring contractors for anything sucks:"What do you mean you expect us to deliver on the time frame we promised, we're getting to it eventually. On second thought, since you complained we don't want the job at all anymore, go call someone else."I even went with the HIGHEST bid thinking they might not suck!! Have one job behind 3 weeks and counting and another that was due to be done 6/1 that was never started and now is back to square one. THIS is why I must do everything...

    Think I got her solved. Ordered: http://tandlproducts.com/versa-ball/ times two. https://www.speedymetals.com/pc-2221-8347-1885-x-0325-x-5-325-channel-6061-t6-aluminum-extruded.aspx 72" piece With a few holes drilled, a couple of backer plates and a few washers I think this is exactly what I need. About $200, about 20lbs, quickly detachable. Perfect! Never heard from Traxstech and was prepared to give them almost $600 to get to the exact same point really, so win for me, loss for them.
