Nice going Jeff! -
It wil atke awhile for the difference to show up but it is well worth the effort for the DEC
-
It could be worse fellas....I'm assigned as the designated driver today for a tour of the Finger Lakes wineries for my daughter's boyfriends parents....have to save myself for arising early for salmon fishing in the AM -
X2 on the 7 ft. medium Ugly stix. I don't have them (I have several 8 ft 3 inch rods) but I've used them and they are great!

Ed, we had the worst hardest rain I've ever experienced along with thunder and lightning and HAIL about the size of a dime about 5:45 this morning....unreal! -
WTG! You have to get them into it before they discover boys then it's all over but the shouting -
Always great to share a day like that with other folks and especially kids. -
Great report Bob. I do some jigging once in awhile and it helps that I have ice fished all my life and that is what your account reminded me of....waiting around for them to become active a flurry of bites and then somebody hits the shut off button Nice going. I laughed like hell at your comment about (in my words) going from zero to hero with the jigging techniques....we've all felt that "what the f" feeling when wee were doing the usual stuff and it isn't working -
I know what you mean about the glasses ED I don't ever take any good ones with me anymore in the boat just "cheapo" reading glasses because I have a bad habit of keeping them in my shirt pocket and then leaning over the side of the boat to rig stuff....bye bye

Couple of good ones from Lake Oahe, South Dakota

WTG John You seem to have found a pretty good way to get your "salmon fix" till your return to Lake O someday Great report and fish. It's also good to keep in practice for the "big boys" too and hopefully looking on the bright side...NO FLEAS . -
I echo PD Buoy's statement and I've been a mail order customer since they opened in the 60's. It may be convenient for locals but it sucks for the rest of us who are now stuck with the sales tax crap. -
You should be OK Matt. I've used my cannon (extendable booms) downriggers out of Cannon gimble mounts and they don't rock at all and that would be less distributed torque I would think -
One of the problems may be the pedestal mount.... the higher up you go from the surface of the gunwale with the downrigger extended laterally the more increased the torque transferred to the gunwale surface. You may want to try using them with a low profile swivel base (such as the one Cannon makes and drill your own holes in a plate to fit. -
I haven't purchased them in a long time (ordered hundreds long ago) but I think Jann's Netcraft may still have them. Here you go Dre: http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/Search/crimp%20sleeves.aspx

Ditto on Tim's approach here.

Nice going Kev....some great eating there and the other stuff you're going to be doing sounds great too -
Probably the best idea until you can find a reliable source. At least you could get going while you look at the other alternatives....something will turn up Jason. Keep on plugging and exploring options.It will all come together...perseverance always pays off in the end. -
I think that if the aluminum plate I suggested is an EXACT FIT width wise and it extends close to the length of the track it shouldn't have any "leeway" to flex.

On Sunday the wire loaded up bad with fleas too. -
nice work Mike! Good thing it wasn't Ontario (with no net) -
Nice going Joe... hell of a fish! -
Never had it happen personally either on fresh or salt water and was a little queasy only once after chugging a beer at 7 AM during a Spring ESLO during the early eighties due to a bet regarding catching the first fish. I have had to drive a buddy's boat while he was puking repeatedly up front but I have to admit we kept fishing until it got real bad....he still avoids Ontario on days when 2 footers are predicted (and that was about 15 or more years ago that it happened). Ginger root and ginger ale can sometimes help, Dramamine has to be taken a couple hours before going out to be effective (and then only with some people). I have seen the wrist band approach work only once to avoid puking when initiated at the first signs of discomfort. I think it happens mostly with longer interval waves for most folks and i haven't seen it happen on any boatI've been on inthe Finger Lakes but I know it does occur (but not as frequently as on the great Lakes or the oceans.
