    Last years trip was on a friends boat its three years old , he has twin 300's (yamaha) . We went out at black thirty in the morning, went canyons , trolled most of the day , back at 7:30 , and we used a little over 100 gallons of fuel.

    I think bait was $100 not sure.

    Matt, its even more money going out of Jersey or Maryland, depending where exactly your going the canyons are 70 miles out. Its over a two hour boat ride..

    Got to go last year , we caught a couple small yellowfin. Few years back out of Maryland we put 14 yellowfins in the box, biggest was about 90lbs

    I dont have money, im just fortunate to have friends in the right places to do that kinda trip

    Fishing at night

    Thanks guys, you are answering my question, they do hit it the dark. I was giving bad info before.

    I fish often in the dark in my home waters ,(stripers,catfish, walleye) and yes you have to be careful, depth perception is

    difficult , never full throttle, you never know whats floating around even if your familiar with the area.

    Sometimes we drive thru the night to fish lake O,and arrive all different times pending traffic or just ahead of schedule, its just nice to know if we started earlier before the sun comes up that at least were in the game.

    Interesting bigwater, i guess if your seeing them on the ff they are not just on the top feeding.

    Has your experience been at various depths?

    I imagine fish cant miss seeing a glow bait in the middle of the night

    Not asure thing i understand but wanted to hear it is worth trying. I have had guys tell me ive met when on lake o that salmon dont bite at night.

    I never believed it myself .

    Im not looking for night charters, but want to fish later at night if we got a late start on a particular day and wanted to stay out .

    Copper Lengths Answer...simplified? YES!

    What you just said about splicing in another 200 feet, I guess the method your laying out could be a good way to segment copper

    say every 50-100 feet  and have a good way of attaching to the boards to that spot,versus doing it with other methods that would require bigger knots(weak spots, and more drag)at the segmented piece. Always wanted a way to do that well to utilize some longer copper but only deploying what you need when the bite is shallower than where the long copper would be.

    Bloodruntackle had a method for using braid as backing to copper and still using inline boards,which utilizes a stainless steel pin instead of the stock plastic . Which is , deploy copper,put the braid in the pin and spin it a couple times before you stick it in the pinch pad, which stops the board from sliding down to your knot and grooving the release pad, I tried this last year and it worked for me.
