    This may help sort it out for you. I'd be going with the .204 and a 40 grain bullet especially at greater distance e.g. 500 yds http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=.204+caliber+reviews&&view=detail&mid=CCE7BBDB46E65D54867FCCE7BBDB46E65D54867F&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3D.204%20caliber%20reviews%26qs%3DHS%26form%3DQBVDMH%26sp%3D1%26pq%3D.204%20caliber%20reviews%26sc%3D1-20%26cvid%3D7B83DB141028462A8BB2E594A2C5FDEE

    I keep a few of different lengths coiled up on narrow line spools with a #8 barrel swivel at the end. a fluoro leader at the other end with ball bearing swivel and when I want to employ them I just take off the existing ball bearing swivel from the mono and tie it on. I have them set up in 1,2,3,4 color lengths.

    Our illustrious Governor and the legislature created the situation by allowing illegal aliens to get drivers licenses as identification which from a Homeland Security standpoint is a nightmare. The political correctness is fine but not when it jeopardizes the security of legal citizens and creates problems for them.

    Wonder what the reasoning is for Lake Champlain? I guess I didn't realize it was an exception. Maybe to be consistent with other nearby states that have access to it?

    The recent wet snow/rain/sleet combination may be affecting many places adversely with the weight combined with insulating the existing marginal ice condition (e.g. white ice on top of a couple inches of hard stuff. Things can be precarious so be sure to spud your way out and error on the side of caution if you go. I'm holding off for now to see what this weather does.

    With the Spin Doctor you have pictured in the first post it is configured in the hole for less action. For more action use the bottom one and for high speed trolling use the top front hole and the rearward hole for slow speed trolling. Many folks just leave them hooked up as they come in the package and don't experiment but it is worth doing sometimes and can make a difference in results. The action can be really accentuated by using the bottom rear hole and shortening the leader of the fly as suggested above.

    Wish I could.....I think I picked them up at one of the tackle shows years back. I'm sure they can be found somewhere online though. Just checked and here seems to be one https://www.fishusa.com/Dreamweaver-Swivel-Snaps-10-Pack?quantity=1&L-Size1=1051&msclkid=e258b654fb781e327c96e86949fbe372&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping_PLA_All Products&utm_term=4585100930555023&utm_content=All Products

    Very cool! Those Redfish are a blast aren't they? We caught them on light tackle in the salt marshes in South Carolina too. In the shallow water they go nuts

    A good option for the looped fly is this for fast changes

    It is well worth the effort....my son has been fishing with me since age 2 1/2 ( even ice fishing etc.) and we're still doing it almost 40 years later.

    x2 on Rob's comment.I'm sure when they did the research and development they had the swivel attached so why not run as designed?

    It does look like a whitefish Pete but I think the fins are usually darker. If we could see the tail clearly it might help too as they have a very pronounced "V" in it but the mouth looks more like that of a whitefish..

    I don't think any actual specific instructions came with it. You have to depress each of the start and view buttons to make changes

    There are two basic settings accessed on the menu screen temp and depth. The temp measures either the fahrenheit temp or centigrade temp at 5 ft intervals. You also need to specify (menu screen) fresh or salt water type. The other setting is depth and that is selected as an option on the menu screen and it measures depth down to at least 300 ft in 1 ft increments. (i believe the max. depth possible is 400 ft.). The menu screens are a bit "clunky" as you have to use the View and Start functions to activate changes.

    Not easy to tell from the way is is hanging but possibly Cisco?. I think the Gizzard Shad may have a black round spot at the rear of the gill

    Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me as I have worried about being in yours at times with all that hardware.

    The loss of his right to own and/or use a gun has more to do with the legal nature of the offense than anything else. Convicted felons are prohibited from possessing, owning or otherwise having contact with conventional firearms. so basically it is much like the forfeiture of the voting right of a felon as well. Both are guaranteed by the Constitution /Bill of Rights and subject to specific limitations (legal constraints) set forth by individual states.

    Thanks Mike never can have too many lures right?

    Sorry Dennis none. Sure wish I did though. I think they were all pretty well scarfed up on after Charlie died in 2010.

    We sure hope so and you did it right Bill and from the pics you routinely display are continuing to do so By the way your daughter is a lot braver than me Much of it is about proper parenting and exposure to the "right stuff".
