I passed on fishing also. Great morning to be out in boat and hunt birds. I only managed to bring in one loner who went down. It could not have been any better than that when you have your nine year old daughter your 7 month old yellow lab and your favorite waterfowl partner with ya. I could not have been more proud of that 70 pound ball of mischief she made the most beautiful retrieve on her first real bird. It was nice to share it with my daughter. She already wants to know when she can pull the trigger. Good luck on a good start.

I run roller tips on the ends of the rod this seems to reduce wear and also make it slide through alot easier:grin:

I have 3 fishlander riggers up for sale. 2 are long arm capatains choice models. The third one is a captains choice short arm. They are black, come with all the mounting hardware, (swivel bases, ball holders, dual rod stations) they are in excellent shape. I would like to get 365.00 a piece out of them . If you are intersted let me know.:no:grin:

Give me a little bit of time and private message me and i will get a hold of Jeff Seyka who fishes all the flw walleye tourniess on lake erie he has a almost all the top pros in his back pocket as a dist for fishlander and churches , i will give you whats hot and whats not guarnteeeeeed.

trust me u dont want to free spool them. if they get away from you as the are going down and the water is deeper than the amount of cable you have , just wave by by you will not get your hand in there to stop it. Also when setting them down thumb brake your reels or loosen up the drag so it wont pull so much line yhat should take out you slack in the line. As for the adjustment screw on the top DONT TOUCH it is factory set for the speed.

On the carb where the fuel line enters there is usually a small paper filter inside of there. depending on the carb there is a small line going into a bigger housing, thats where the filter is. Pull the small line off and gently pull it to the side, remove the larger housing. It is best if you use flare nut wrenches, the nut is easy to strip.

Its not uncommon i have had them get close enough to count rods and then just hold up your license and never disrupt your trolling. As an eight year Coast guard vet instead of going through the trouble of actually doing an in depth boarding i would just get close and ask them to hold up life jackets. If they did it in a quick manner and they looked good i was happy. I also would ask them to break out a flare kit quickly. The Coasties are more out there to ensure your safety as opposed to writing you a ticket. Its just a whole lot nicer when they dont interupt your time on the water.:grin:
