Sounds as though you had fun and that is what it is all about and you also got to experience the other side of it ...the recreational boating crowd If you decide to come back again send me a PM beforehand and I'll be glad to help you out in any way I can. There still are some fish in here....

Gammo makes a scoped .177 cal. 1250 FPS pellet gun called "Silent Cat" guess it might be a coincidence

They've moved right onto Route #6 now (nearby). I found the info: Blackbeard's Bait and Tackle 3700A Route 6 North Eastham Mass. 02651 Tel: (508) 240-3369

Just a suggestion Larry but it may be worth a short trip to Blackbeard's Bait and Tackle just east of Eastham/Orleans on Rt 6. They can set you up with everything you need as well as info. The guys there are very helpful and know exactly what is happening out there from day to day. The place is right on Rt 6.

This might be a good example of a difference between statistical modeling and real life situations I understand the logic behind what you are saying Jerry.

Basically you need at least 3 data point to make any inference about a "trend" anyway.

Might want to try some Sea Foam in the gas or through the carburator.

After using these things since the 70's on the Fingers the yellow clown color is the top producer, followed by lime green, red on silver, and as Gambler mentioned the old blue luminous. Just a little tip: you can use nail polish with a protective coating of acrylic nail polish hardener to experiment with colors and "glitter" on them. One of the most effective additions is to add red spot eyes outlined with a black sharpie especially on the "clowns" or white with reddish pink dots. There is also a larger type (manufacturer?) that works well and is about double the size of the standard one and slightly different shape. The skirted ones do work too. Here is one from the old days with a vinyl skirt Although it is not "rocket science" to use the do it yourself approach my advice would be to get some of Gambler's setups to at least start with to be successful right off the bat as he has the lakers "dialed in".

In watching this particular thread progress it strikes me just how important this website is to the fishing community and how whether sport fisherman or charters or American or Canadian we are all in this together and all have a very big stake in these issues both short and long term. The expression of varied opinions and perspectives and willingness to share them is also vital to the process and we are all benefiting from this discussion in understanding this complex problem. I would hope that the DEC and Canadian counterpart are exposed to this information and set of opinions as well and that it somehow helps shape their thinking and actions in the end through concerted group pressure. We all need to remain vigilant and informed and I for one appreciate the sharing of information that is taking place here.

Nice going and great report too

Given the fact that it is over 90 degrees right now I think it might be a few days yet

Yeah the rush would be on the get them to weigh in before they lost the 10 lbs of crap

What brand?

tom - Don't beat yourself up too bad ...they are great rods. If there are any Seth Green guys out there these rods are the "nuts" for that as well as wire dipsey rods.
