    Tried to get in a couple hours before the rain hit. Dropped lines east of chute and worked shoreline in 8-15 FOW. Picked up one fish every 10-15 minutes. All cookie cutter browns 2-3 lb range. Didnt find any warm water due to Strong S/SE winds. Checked radar and at 7:15 the rain was at Port Bay. Picked up and made it back just in time before the rain started.

  3. I just got done re-tying all my Tandem Leaders (tornament tie) fly rigs and was wondering if the color red is the first color to disappear under water why do we use them on our fly hooks ? I would never change them because they flat out work but these are the questions that come out when you have too much time on your hands.

  4. I took a deer this past season and captured it with the FOB camera. I had it mounted on the stabilizer and in close it worked good. It was hard to see the deer as it came in but within 60 yards it was easier. I followed the deer for 5 minutes and took a 20 yard shot. after the shoot i tried to follow the deer with the bow but i was jerky and lost the deer on camera. I would def. say mounted to your hat brim would be better. will try that next year. for 20 bucks still pretty cool to watch

  5. I almost always run 4 rods due to the number of people that fish with me. I will always run 2 riggers, one on each corner and one wire diver per side. I will generally run spoons on the riggers and spinny/flys on the divers. If the spinnys are hot i will run one on the rigger too. If you have a third or fourth person go thats when i would add your copper and lead. with your 300' copper you are limited to depth so unless the fish are in the mid to upper water column i would stick with riggers and wires to cover greater depths.

  6. This past season i could rarely get my boat to plane down. It is a 23' Renken Cuddy with 4.3 Mercruiser. The most i can get out of it is 3800 RPM WOT where before i was easily pushing 4400 rpm. I have checked the compression in all cylinders and they are fine. I have changed spark plugs with no improvement. i have not changed my prop. Could this be related to the "new" ethanol gas? what is the fix? for the most part i can live with it but when I am in 3-5' seas i need the power to counter the waves. any ideas?

  7. After seeing some good sign and nothing with any horns I was starting to get discouraged. I picked up my camera last night and finally have seen something with a rack. Now I just hope his daddy is close by too. the date is wrong.
