Line counters on reels and downriggers are not accurate scientific measurers. So you're fishing and you hear a report of 4 mature kings off a plaid dipsy # 2 setting, 160 feet of wire. So you put on a plaid dipsy and set it on #2 and 160 feet of wire and nothing. So you play with it awhile and you have to let out 175 feet of wire before you connect. Now you're cooking. You set up that same rod and tackle with the same settings that YOU caught your fish and go from there. The name of the game is repeatabilty of the program that works for you.

Hey C&R, Cost of the outing - PRICELESS

Joe' My brother was the observer in your boat yesterday that got a hook in his arm. I was fishing with Vinnie. Everything turned out fine although the hook was in a vein. The doctor said it looked nasty. He froze it and cut the hook to get it out. No stiches. We want to thank you for pulling lines early and taking him to port. We appreciate it. BTW your team members tried to enter my brother in your catch but thru him out because the hook was not in the mouth. Good luck fishing.

God bless them.

Thanks Dave, Sorry on the delay on your reply. I was in Kentucky with some good ol boys hunting turkeys. Got two longbeards. I may take you up on your offer when you get my old but good boat in the water. If I can get myself emotionally prepared. Talk to you later. Keep his head up

Yes Jerry, the one and only. Keep an eye on the lake in front of your house for us. Thanks. See ya in June

Freddie from Gates, NY - between boats but next will be Steelhead'r II and trailerable. I go where the fish are. DEC fish tech soon to be retired. Been fishing in the last 6 decades. As much as I love fishing God and family comes first and turkey hunting is close behind. Love the Pro ams and I haven't missed the Niagara Pro Am since it started. "Keep his head up!"
