    dive bomb how to

    in Salmon Pro's Connection

    Posted

    dive bombs are nothing more than a diving lip/bill very similar to the lip/bill on crank bait, you just clip them on your line. as easy as that. i do not know of any published dive curve data. ive never owned or used them so thats all ive got to say about that.....john

    Distress signals

    i suggest a 5' fiberglass, the typical shakespeare 5' fiberglass has 5dB thats the amount of multiplication to the power output of the radio (eg. 5watt radio output and 5dB antenna equals 25watts total output) and as well the radio and antenna combo to hear the incoming signal. the stainless 3' whip has the dB as the five footer but the tip of the antenna is 2foot higher, the 3foot whip is little smaller and takes up less room, however VHF radio's only work in line of sight, and here is the problem, on your boat. if the mounting location is three feet above the water, and you got a 3foot whip and are in say 6 foot waves (and you in the trough) the radio wont get out far at all, i know you most likely wont go out in seas that big, but what if it sneaks up on you and then get into trouble?? oh and the wife ever goes out and the cell dont work and the radio saves you both, then she will be saying " all i heard was BLAH BLAH BLAH, something about I told you so...Etc...Etc..."

    Flasher And Fly Length

    whoa boy....generally speaking yes, but sometimes you want shorter leads that will produce more snap...supposibily for more aggressivly feeding fish, and when fish are more netrual longer leads will put a little less in action on the fly. this is one area where nothing is written in stone, not a right or wrong answer, the fish will bite what they like and want. let them dictate the leader lenght!!!

    Whats the best thing to do

    with thousands of hours of flight time (sea and air sickness are the same) i can say this. 1st if you were able to find a cure you would easily make millions and millions. the whole trouble in deep within the inner ear, and with going into a long winded medicial discourse, it effects everyone differently, even the same person, sometimes they puke and othertimes they dont, take the over counter sea sickness meds, look at the horizon,get into some cool fresh air, and unlike most i say get into the place on the boat with the least amount of motion, the cabin is a good place HOWEVER make sure they keep their head up and in plenty of fresh cool moving air....and as always keep the bucket close!!!
