    I own Tract, Leupold and NF.  You will have to be lucky to find a used NF at $500.  Not impossible, but not likely.  My Tract has been nice.  Good glass for the money, BUT I wasn't impressed with its high magnification clarity.  I find myself backing off a bit  for a better picture (sounds goofy, I know).  If you are going to set it and forget it, go with Leupold.  For $500, you can find some good used loopy deals.  Years ago, I had a Vortex PST, 4-16x50.  I would use my VX-3i to spot the holes in the paper when I couldn't see them with the Vortex.......sold the PST shortly thereafter as there were better options in that price range.  Take a look at Zeiss.  Should be able to get their Conquest line used at your price,

    Heard the bite was out deep, so left the dock around 6 and set up at the 28 line.  Was a slow pick for the first few hours with a few steelies and small kings.  When the sun finally popped out, game on.  Steelies were on fire, decent kings mixed in the next few hours.  We kept the point pointed north, ended up at the 35 line, did a 180 and worked the same line back.  After 8am, there was never a dull moment.  Riggers were on firs with a dipsies doing the rest.  We pulled our copper as it wasn't producing much, and was getting in the way, and just ran 5 lines the last few hours.  We ended the day 20/29 with three doubles and a triple with 4 kings over 20 and 2 steelies over 9#.  Rest were cookie cutter mix.  Good spoons were pink/orange stinger as a slider, UV Blue mixed veggies, on riggers 65-110, white spinny with Studd or hammer flies out 220-240

    I had work do to around the house the next day, so couldn't make it out for the morning bite.  Heard from a buddy the bite was close, so gathered who I could to fish the evening.  Started out around 5pm east of port 90-130, and was a slower pick, which was fine considering I had two people on the boat who weren't too experienced.  Took at 24#  350 copper/Blue Tux and a 27# on FF, and a few smaller kings on riggers 65-90 down, ended the day 5/6.  It's Monday and already ready for next weekend!

    I can't seem to figure how to tie that knot proper, I can never slide the knots together even when they are both loose, any ideas? The Alberto is my tried connection knot for the moment I'm just hoping the sheath can't slip through, pulled it real hard though.

    Here's a good video. 

     Like most knots, practice, practice, practice.  get two different colored/kinds of line, maybe around 30lb mono, or even two kinds of thin rope to get a 'big picture' and concept down.  I use this knot when it's too much of a PITA to use a 30 or 40lb SPRO and palomar knots

    Random question for you guys.....does anyone ever use salmon carcasses for bait?  If you have, how'd it work out? I was curious, so put out two walleye carcasses a few months ago to see what would hit them.  All I got were vultures, fisher, and a couple coons.  Talking to a guy, he said nothing really touches walleye except the birds.  Just wondering if it's worth taking up freezer space with a bunch of dead salmon.
