Thanks for showing Brads bait.

Best investment you will make, auto doesn’t get distracted by fighting a fish, keeps you going straight into the wind so you don’t have to captains troll all the time.

Great job, what is a Brads rig ?

Skywatcher, I have eagle claw ten rods that I use 7 strand wire on, had for more than ten years the guides hold up, definitely put twirly tips on.

Two buddies fishing together, you remember when something different happens, talk and tease for years. Good memories make fishing fun.

Would have been neat to get a picture of it swimming next to the boat.

A center pin clip is meant to be used for adding a weight to a line and should not release the line until you squeeze it.. I use a rubber band to fix sliders. Doesn’t damage line when releasing.. Less drag than a clip.

It will be down to the swivel immediately and the swivel will go thru the coast lock and jam into the plastic clip.

That is a fair assessment of Andy

I got news for you, raccoons are excellent tree climbers.

Years ago when DEC first got permission to oil the eggs of cormorants, they reported on their website the work they where doing, oiled X thousand eggs on this island at a cost of y thousand dollars, they reported this for each island except one island had no nesting cormorants on it but they observed a raccoon on the island. I commented about the report on a thread at the time, DEC removed the reports. I don’t know if a raccoon swam out to the island or a good old boy dumped one out of a live trap but it reduced the cormorant nesting on the lake. If DEC made an agreement with local animal control officers in the Henderson Harbor area to put a raccoon on selected islands they could effectively reduce the cormorant population and save taxpayers x thousands of dollars.

Nice fish, thanks for the report.

Nice fish, thanks for all the info

What do you mean, nothing good ? Looks like you caught one good one. Nice fish.
