Junk Yard, and they will give you a certified weigh slip. Then fill out the proper paper work at your local DMV. I was GM for a LoadRite Distributer and we did this several times. It really is quite easy.
Jeff, it almost sounds like we were in the same boat. I forgot to mention that we did get into a nasty swarm of knats and quite a few bees as well. The lake was beautiful though.

Thanks for the advice guys. It sounds like it must be me. I did try it on both sides of the boat and also various adjustments and tightening the screw. As far as the release goes, it is a bit touchy. I am running the middle size so maybe thats part of it.
Fished late afternoon till dark. 20-50FOW with 1 release off a Chrome/Blue J-Plug 15 over 27 on a rigger. Fish was there and then gone before I could hand my son the rod. Saw a hand full of boats and I didn't see anyone breaking their arm. I did mark a few fish in the mouth of the river and saw a few rollers. Hope it picks up soon, my son is losing interest.
Anyone using these or familiar with them? I picked up a couple rather than the Dipsies because they are a buck or 2 cheaper and look exactly the same to me. I have been using them for about a month and I don't think they track off to the side as much as they should. I was out a bit this afternoon and one diver kept walking across the back regardless of where I set the keel weight. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you Gambler and Yankee for the reports. I am thinking of trying Hedges Sunday morning and if nothing takes which is what I expect, I will head east. Minnows and soft shells if I can find any. Not much into the hard stuff for smallies. Thanks again!
I have fished smallies on LO for over 30 years going back to a small kid. Only within the last 5 yrs locally. Most years past, between Henderson and Sacketts. The early to mid 90's the fishing up north went to @#%$, at least for me. I was just getting the hang of Hedges, Bear Creek, and a few other local spots when the gobies came. Some guys defeat the gobies by trolling but I just cant do that for bass. Hopefully, no gobies is a good sign. I have heard that the Sheep are huge and plentiful this spring and summer. Maybe they are feeding on the gobes.
There was a Hard Top model on Craigs the other week for a very reasonable $2500. Gotta wonder but maybe worth checking out. The boat was located in Wolcott.

Man, thats a rough week. Especially the last part! I was also up there at the same time and I can pretty much confirm about the fishing. I did happen to do about a dozen smallies for the week off the shoals in front of Krings. And 1 small Pike in Goose bay Thursday when the river was too much for my boy. Certainly nothing to bragg about! Trying Hedges tomorrow!
