    Looks similar to what I've been using for past 3 years. Only drawback is it is kind of light, but haven't had any problems with wind keeping a pair of back up downrigger weights in it.

    Wow. Looks spotless. Thought those might have been old pictures, but that's a new sticker.

    PM sent VanderLaan

    FWIW, the rivet can also be removed with pliers and a punch. In case you need to re-terminate out on the water and don't have a drill on board.

    9AM - 3 PM See you there.

    Are these what you had in mind? $250 for the pair of quads. $ 75 for the pair of singles.

    Gotta give a Sox fan a hard time, so.............. Come fish with me, and I'll show ya how to find fish with only one fish finder. Seriously though, nice rig.
  8. Dr Hook
    That is one sweet looking rig!.................despite the colors.

    I missed a lot of good events around here lately like the Stevensville Salmon School, Hudsonville Swap Meet and the Outdoorsmen event. The trade off was getting my open water fix to tide me over until ice out. Didn't land any of these big boys. See anything unusual? Like how the bottom fish isn't flopping over being held by the tail. One line, one bait, two fish. One took the bait and somehow the other got tail wrapped. Dinner for the rest of the week. Skid mark shot of the day. White water is from a whale breaching. Me and the Mrs. Final tally was one 14 lb mahi, 15 yellowfin in the 10 - 15 lb range, and 9 little skipjack.

    Would have loved to have gone but planned my vacation before the date was moved. Hopefully it will happen earlier next year as it has been held previous years

    Good conditions and I'm there

    The way I see it, I'd be fishing whether the tournament was on or not. My only added expense is the entry fee. I wouldn't want to get a payout for finishing 25th out of 50 either. Certainly, if the payout were less than the entry fee, pay less places with more money. Nothing wrong with breaking even.

    Do you use any special harness for the trolling bags or just whatever rope happens to be handy to run the bags from the cleats?

    Don't see us getting that much rain, so gotta be tax day, April 15.
  15. Dr Hook
    I'd agree with Dave. If you disconnect the drain line and it leaks, it'll leak in the bottom of your boat. In that case, you'd probably rather have water in your livewell.

    What's the best way to let you know, PM, post or phone call?
  17. Dr Hook
    yeah, and the minute you do, the sky will turn gray, the temperature will drop and the robins will light a trashcan fire to stay warm.

    The X4D is to better reproduce the depth of your lure. If you see fish at 70' on your depth finder and you run out 70' of cable on the downrigger counter, your lure may not be at 70' for 2 reasons: blowback and counter error. If your probe reads 70' on the X4D, you know your lure is at 70 feet even if your counter reads a few feet differently.
  19. Dr Hook
    Area under the cone increases with depth, so by that logic you're better off fishing deeper water because it covers a larger area under the boat. Yes, finding bait can help you find fish, but I'd rather know the fish are there too. If I see fish, I won't leave to go find bait.
  20. Dr Hook
    I don't see how that catches fish. On my boat, any hot lure stops working the minute there's a back up on board. Of course, any hot lure is guaranteed to get stolen by a 30 lb.-er as well.
  21. Dr Hook
    Traditional bad or Michael Jackson bad?
  22. Dr Hook
    Finding bait is probably more a function of calibration and settings rather than brand, with newer units (CHIRP or similar) being better than older.

    I haven't seen any dive curves for copper with Spindoctors as opposed to without but I would imagine it would be somewhat shallower than with a spoon. I haven't had much luck with spinnies on long lines, so I usually run them on riggers and divers. On copper and core, I'll run spoons or plugs.
  24. Dr Hook
    Anybody have any luck with the thinner lead core? I went to it last year and my core was pretty much dead all summer.

    I fish with Chamberlain's and like them better than the Offshore releases but I might have to try Blacks. Even when tightened down the Chamberlain's tend to release over 3 mph on GPS.
