For wire, I would send the reels up to Tuna Tom and have the drag upgrades put in. When you do that, he will install a line pin on the spool. No real advantage to putting less than 1000' on them.

Next weeks forcast is for above normal temps. It's about time!

What is it about the Ray Marine 720 that you don't like? Hummingbird has really stepped up there game also.

Is the fishing better at 15 miles verses 14?

There are a few guys here that fish deep(200+fow) for big fish. I think it would be great to hear from them on, what they look for when going after the deep, king size fish. Do you start shallow, and work your way out? or just start deep. Is U.V an important factor? Glow? Flasher Fly? I have never really done very well out in the deep water, and would like to expand my knowledge base. Lets hear what your technics are. Thanks.

It was a Great win indeed!

I need one of those fixes. Thanks for sharing.

The early season bite used to be fantastic.

Site sponsor Big Weenie has extended glow bead that are top notch. I have a few and tested there holding power. They glow much longer than standard glow.

Great looking fish there Captain Mark. It beats the crap out of this snow we have.

Get a bulk spool of 40 pound Power Pro, or Cabelas Rip Cord. 750-1000' is plenty for backing or divers. You will love the difference you get with braid verses mono for the divers.

Rick, I just spooled two 30d convectors up with 750' of 40# power pro, and 150' of 32 pound Blood Run copper. I checked and I can get 50 more feet of copper on them. That 150' 32# will go down 30+-feet. (the extra 50' would gain 10' of depth) The 30d convector would hold the similar amount of core. 150' of core will get you down 20+- feet. 200' of core will get you 26+-feet.

Yes that^^ for us also.

Bud, this is a great link. Thanks for posting it.

Welcome to the site Dusty.

Nice looking rig there Frank, and Welcome to the site.

%38 is a big percentage. Can I ask what the total for the year was?

Now that's just plane funny Mike. Great job on the box Grandpa of Nick.

I took this from Face Book. It's in Chicago.

A bunch! We got the blunt of it. The storm even contained lightning and thunder for quite a while around 11 pm.

Most local hardware's should have the tamper proof bolts. They will be in the little boxes. If not, call Rapid Hardware in Grand Rapids. They sell the bathroom partitions that use them.
