  1. I sent my wife there for coated cable a couple summers ago. From how she described the place I wouldn't have thought their overhead was that high.
  2. I've only ever used it with mono so I don't know.
  3. Most of the boats I see with outriggers use them to fly flags.
  4. My granddaughter's boyfriend has the G-Loomis fish on his chest.
  5. It's on t It's on this page: http://www.moonshinelures.com/original-moonshine/
  6. Our best this year was a NK NBK Copper and we lost our last one.
  7. What happens is the mono line stretches under pressure. Then when you get the board in and release the pressure, the released pressure will work its way down the line and relaxed diameter will eventually return, causing breakage of the plastic reels as the line expands.
  8. A lot of guys on the Chesapeake use .080 weed eater line. You do have to be careful about winding it onto plastic reels under pressure though.
  9. The pump I have screws right onto the dipstick tube. Works great.Like this but pumps 7 qt. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--manual-oil-changer-2-9-quart--11097714
  10. We use a spring at the boat and then don't need a snubber on the tow line.
  11. I would think a quick link will work.
  12. Son would be buying the new one.
  13. Went up there with a buddy about 30 years ago. Told him on the way home that I was glad I went and it was quite an experience but I didn't need to do it again.
  14. We used springs that we got at Lowes and brass rings. No pulleys.
  15. Drained mine on Thursday. Not hard at all. Unscrew 5 blue plugs and watch that water drains. Make sure rust hunks don't block the drains. Takes about 5 minutes.
  16. Take a couple of charters and ask lots of questions. Makes a tremendous difference on your learning curve.
  17. No need to apologize Captain. Your reports are always informative and appreciated. See you out there next season I hope. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  18. We used to drive up to Rochester and take the parkway across to the Oak. Now we get off 390 at Mt Morris and come up 36, 63 and 98. The roads are pretty good for two lanes and we are not beating our equipment into oblivion.
  19. I would think that size of the mature fish has more to do with the age (3 YO vs 4 YO or even 5 YO) than genetics.
  20. Here's a good article on replacing/installing seacocks. http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/replacing_thruhulls
  21. We had 11 hits at the 34 line Sunday but only boated three fish including this 22 pound male king. Bottom teeth starting to turn back and a hook jaw just starting. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  22. I've always used double uni knots, but after looking at a video of the willis knot I think I will have to give that a try.
  23. Been towed and given tows - you are right - what goes around comes around. Never pass up an opportunity to help someone in need.
