I just pick up some of this line. anybody ever use this line? I usually run seaguar fluorocarbon for my leaders.

We stay there all the time in the spring. Nice place. Typical state campground. Close to mexico point and the boat. Pat

Thanks. I dont know if that going to work becuase the distance between the rail and the hardtop. That black mount might not clear it. Ill have to measure it and take a closer look.

Thats how my sportcraft is rigged but i want to change it to like billy V. Does anybody know were i can get pulleys that mount to the rail from? thanks, Pat

Anything else guys? Good time for your voice to be heard. Pat

Hi guys, I was talking to Beth of mikes marina and she wants to know what kind of ideas there is at making the little salmon river challenge better. Any ideas are welcome Beth doesn't monitor the boards so im going to print out any ideas and give it to her. She wants to know what you think about the size limit she's thinking about changing it to 18" or not making the penalty to stiff for weighting in fish under 21". Any suggestions welcome. Thanks guys and have a safe winter. Can’t wait to spring already!! Patrick

Thanks guys, Had a blast. The fish have tons of fight left in them still. Pat

Went out saturday. Went 1/3. 24lb king. One of the ones we lost the king broke the ring on the flasher after a 10 minute battle. 60-80fow 55 down. Flasher and flys on downrriggers. Pat Monday we went 3/3. 25, 26, 30lbs. -Same Method and depths as before. Here some pics(saturday) Monday

I caught one a couple weeks ago in mexico bay. Other boats out of that port also have been catching them where and there. Pat

Fishing out of the Lil Salmon. Pat

I don't believe you have to be at the meeting. see the flyer in events section. Pat

Thanks Rich, I wonder if will hit 90+ boats like last year. Pat

Good job guys, We went out saturday and went 2/5 on browns. We didnt go out sunday. Guess we shouldv'e. Pat

Rich, Were going to do it. Probaly going up there on thursday to sign up. Can we still register at jon's or do we have to go to mikes marina. I dont know when mikes marina closes and i wouldnt be up there till 6:30. Pat

I'm feeling the same way. Rebuy every thing and then lose another 25 - 30 bucks. I belive the break off was from the twilly tip. So iam going to keep a better eye out for kinks. Pat

Sounds like fun I lost 200 feet of wire. Should i respool the wire. i have 800 feet left with backing. Want to make sure its all right to run that same rig again with out adding more wire. Pat

It look like a clean break. I didnt notice any kind of kink. Ill just look very closly for know on when iam letting wire out. Pat

I had my wireline snap before the twilli tip on my setup. went to pop the dipsey and the line just snap. The drag was not set that tight. Any idea what happen? it was a costly break. dipsey, flasher flies all gone. Pat

Awesome

I posted this in the event section but thought more people would view this on this section. How many people from this board are fishing the mustad challenge? Were in. Pat

Nobody posted this derby so i thought i would. How many on this board are going to fish this? Team InTheBox is in. Pat

I dont know what the price range is.(they came with the boat when we bought it). I love them. Easy to use. Read the manuel you'll find out there so much you can do with them. Pat

I run 30lb big game clear and green for salmon and 10lb big game clear for browns and so far it works great. I had alot of problems with the flea flicker line (twisting). Pat
