Best and Worst snap swivels for beginners
Captain Carl Bish replied to WillCFish's topic in Tackle Description
I have had good luck with small spro swivels with a duolock snap. Just make sure you use large snaps on the line side of sliders. -
No split ring -- use a good snap I like the duolock

Cabelas Depthmaster Combos
Captain Carl Bish replied to Adk1's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I recommend the Abu Garcia 7000 series, the line counters are great and the IC3 has a fantastic drag. These are the only reels that I have purchased in the last 10 years that last more than 2 seasons. Buy a cheap rod spend the long dollar on the reel! -

Looking for any advise on marathon key fishing guide
Captain Carl Bish replied to lundman's topic in Open Lake Discussion
If you don't mind driving 20 mile north. I recommend "Dirty Boat" out of Robbie's in Islamorada www.robbies.com Capt. Joe Saba. I fished with him last year and will be fishing again with him on April 2. He fishes hard and will do what is needed to catch fish. You can check out "Dirty Boat" on Facebook -
Nice page!

Fish hawk TD or X4D system
Captain Carl Bish replied to Hooked on Kings's topic in Tackle and Techniques
From my limited experience the X4 has served me well.......I have never used the TD........as of today, I am not convinced that I need to. -
Planar Board Mast Height?
Captain Carl Bish replied to Peterz's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
From my limited experience, I have found that it is not only helpful to be high, but also to be wide. I use 8' fence poles set on a 45 deg. Angle so with the beam of my boat there is about 18' between the pulleys. This reduces the chance of the line ever contacting other fishing gear in the boat. I estimate the pulleys are about 7' off the water. Remember the higher your line the higher your lures will run....... -
Best spoons for salmon
Captain Carl Bish replied to gbj92's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Tim, When the offshore fish are below 50', I will run it all day long. Really shines from 80 - 100' down. First thing in the morning for staging kings. It is the only spoon I run when fishing the wall for late season kings. Not a good brown trout lure for me. -
NY State Fishing License Reduced Fee Proposal
Captain Carl Bish replied to mostlymuskies's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I would like to see a coversation about a license that charter boats could buy that would cover all customers on the boat. Say all captains buy a boat fishing license for $500 - $1000 to cover all clients. This would remove a big headache for tourists and captains. -
Best spoons for salmon
Captain Carl Bish replied to gbj92's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
There are lots of one hit wonders but from my limited experience the most effective for me the last 5 years has been: Moonshine Carbon 14 Full disclosure: I am on the pro-staff for Moonshine and am so confident in them that I use only their spoons! -

Various rants from some cabin fever victims
Captain Carl Bish replied to Captain Carl Bish's topic in Tackle and Techniques
You may want to try running your rigger spoons (leads) as close as 6' (stern) and out to 40' (sides) this keeps them out of the way of board fish when netting, -
