gonna be a longggg winter.LOL

Good one Sting. I'm bailing out of this one. When I start talking about gizmos and zapping fish it's time to go. Come on April. VOTE 3 ROD RULE Glen

Going against the grain to stand up for what you believe is very commendable. And yes it displays integrety.But ALWAYS going against the grain and insulting others for their beliefs might indicate there are some issues there. Those are your words, not mine. As far as your gizmo. There are days on the east end that after trolling for 8 hours and not moving a rod and only marking 2 or 3 fish all day I would ZAP those BA_T_RDS in a second. Happy fishing Glen

I believe the laws are already in place my friend. It takes unity and work to get them changed when people feel strongly enough about something. I got a novel idea. Why wouldn't you want to enjoy the outdoors and fish any way you like, WITHIN THE LAW, and let everyone else enjoy those same rights. Now very much like your monkey comment don't take this the wrong way. I read in one of your posts how you just don't understand why your always on the unpopular side. Well that otta tell you something. And yes a one or two rod tournament would be a blast. Unless you don't have any fish around and have to search for them. Then it would suck. Glen

I would not have 12 rods instead of 8 in the proams. I would have 9 instead of 6 and you bet your azz it would make a difference. Where are you coming up with gizmos that make all the fish hit? I thought we were talking about an extra rod or two. According to you, all you would need would be a monkey or two or maybe a machine. Thats seems to be the problem with you. You are so good it's to easy. I don't have all your talent so my team and I got to work our tails off to do well in those tournaments. You ever fish them? You want to really enjoy a boat ride? Buy a sail boat. In the mean time I'll continue to hammer those fish whenever possible and hope I never get to that point that I'm so good it's just that easy. Then I would look for another way to spend my time. PS I'll bet my life you never run a spread less than the legal limit. But you should tell me how many rods I should be running? Because I'll catch to many fish? Ya great.

Brian, The memory goes first however I CAN remember NOT having all these aches and pains so I guess it still works somewhat. See ya in about 3 months. Glen

3 Rods and more fish all the way. Might be a big suprise to some but I go fishing to catch fish. Period. I'm not out for a boat ride with the hundreds of ankle biters, or to freeze my N-ts off in the early spring or to or to go out in all kinds of unpleasant weather and spend thousands of dollars every year to not catch fish. I do it because I love to catch fish. The rod men on my proam team would definatley take offense to your monkey comment and if thats what you really believe I might suggest you should fish ALL the tournaments as you could make a lot of money. Everybody has a right to their own opinion and thats what makes these message boards great. Nobody is attacking you for having your opinion whether they agree with it or not. Most guys that posted here are weekend fishermen that work all week to be able to go out and fish. They go out with two or three guys and would like to increase their chances of catching fish during the way to short time they have on the water. Three rods would NOT ruin anything. Glen

Very Nice Glen

Happy Birthday Jeff. See you in the spring. Glen

I have the subtroll and it's been OK. Have had some issues due to cheap components being used but nothing major. I don't have anything good to say about the coated cable and depending on Fish Hawks reports after the next few seasons ( with the X4 being new on the market) I will probably go that direction when it comes time to replace the Subtroll. Glen

52 and counting. Cheer up Musky. Dirt is a good thing. Lets the vegtables grow. Glen

Both Atomic and Fish Doctor charters websights have information on Copper setups. Atomic has the info regarding rods, reels, leader mat. and backing and Ernie has knot info ect. in video format. Check these out. Out of Mexico it's not uncommon to fish depths exceeding 100 ft. I have 500 and 600 ft copper rods on the boat and although it's not advised, I fish less than the full length when needed. I don't have the storage room or money to invest in individual copper lengths for all depths so I make due. Glen

Great news Rick, Thanks for the update. Glen

Stan, sounds like you encountered a lazy son of a b Sheriff who really doesn't give a da_ . Seems like he had every right to confront if not ticket these people that were scaring that beautiful part of the country with their garbage. Especially with two witnesses. I could have got myself in a BUNCH of trouble with that clowns response Until things are done about it nothing will change. That gets me as mad as the slobs that were doing the trashing. Glen

Matthew, If the cable really is more durable than the existing cable and transmits the signal as well it would be worth the fifty bucks. Constantly trimming and reconnecting the probe IS a pain in the azz.. Cable strength and diameter is also a huge consideration. Stripping the end of the cable for installation is required as well so technically you have to be able to "peel it". Also what spool length are we talking about here. I use 300ft because of the trimming and repairing I do. Your inquiry, without knowing these specifics, is way to general to give a simple answere to. Hope this helps. Glen

Out of State visitors also contribute alot of money towards your fishery with their license fees as well as the local economies along the lake. How would your state government treat this fishery if it wasn't making money? Just some food for thought. Glen

EVERY state has it's share of slobs and snaggers. Glen

Kingsalomon22 I always had a soft spot for beautiful Brook trout. Those are some dandys. Unfortunately the native Brookies in my neck of the woods are very small with 9 inches being a big one. I fished a lake in Canada years ago, Lake Wachonichi, and the Brookies in it were sweet. Probably a pound and three quarters to two and a half average. Hit a couple in the 5 lb range during the week. The most enjoyable trip I ever took. Wish I had reasonable access to nice Brook Trout water. I really miss fishing those Skaneatles Rainbows also. Used to do alot of it. They are not only beautiful fish but are strong as hell for their size. These are all beautiful fish in there own right and nice pictures guys. Chromesalyer, you do come up with some magnificant pictures. Keep them coming. Thanks Glen

REALLY GOOD NEWS regarding your Dad. Nice job on the steel too. Glen

good Rant.... And thanks for taking the time to clean it up Glen

I'm not fishing the Finger Lakes Stan as far as lures my two hot ones are already posted above. Glen

DITTO Glen

Thanks for the update Bill. Glen

46 in our local lakes and those rainbows don't want to chase anything fast. Banged them again this weekend. glen

No nothing wrong with that. Just a little unusual is all. In my experience when something is a little unusual about an internet deal it's a warning flag. Good luck with your purchase. Looks like a nice rig. Glen
