Great report Ed.  Having the DRs active makes fishing solo a bit easier versus long lines and removing boards.  Nice work, you almost got your limit!

It helps me to put double the spoons +sliders in to form a bait ball and attract some fish into biting, especially when you only have 3 rods to fish.

Great strategy for fishing solo.

I like that solo strategy as well. I don’t catch much on my sliders but you make a good point about drawing in the fish! Always learning something from you guys.
