Is there a lot of play between the rodholder and gimbal mount? Is the rodholder stainless steel? If yes to both, you can buy a vinyl liner from C E Smith that will fit down inside the rodholder to make the fit tighter. If not then - ????????. If the cross rod that the gimbal slots fit into is bent you may be need to replace the rodholder and make sure they are thru bolted and use metal backing plates.

We are having a ball. Everyone we see and talk to is really friendly and helpful. Great place to vacation and fish. [ Post made via iPhone ]

If you let your divers out against the drag rather than thumbing the reel, the wire will stay tighter. We caught one fish on Friday evening just letting more wire out going from 280 - 310. Fish hit right at 300.

Ran out to about 200 ft and set up a north troll. Marked some bait and fish on the way out and made the turn into shallower water when we got nothing going north. Caught out first two between 360 - 325 heading SE. That was the key for us all day. Finished with several teenagers with our big fish at 21. Mostly a diver bite today with spinnies and flies - colors did not seem to matter much. We just had to get them out 310 on a 2 setting with Walkers 107. Big fish came on a 42 d spoon parked at 120. We are done for this trip but we will be back in about 10 days. ==================== [ Post made via iPhone ]

If you use the cleaning station please make sure your fish are ground up before leaving. We used it late yesterday and found the grinder was not cleared. It took about an hour to get someone else's mess cleaned up. [ Post made via iPhone ]

I just changes an alternator yesterday and It only cost 300. Surely something else must be ready to break. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Ok - will do. And Capt Rick - thanks much. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Thanks.

We are coming up to fish out of Point Breeze Thursday thru Saturday. What would we do if we wanted to try for some browns one day? [ Post made via iPhone ]

Tuna's website says they are closed until September 15.

Here's a really good forum for that type of question. Be warned, however, you will be asked for make and model, serial number, year, boat brand, etc. http://forums.iboats.com/forum.php

Bill VanWormer's Feeder Creek Lodge is only 10 minutes from the launch at Mexico Point.

I'm gonna have to find some of them carbons.

We will be back up the third week of August. Maybe we will see you then.

We caught our fish where we could see neither bait nor hooks. Where we could see bait and fish,we caught nothing.

We fished really hard when we could get on the lake. Came in after 9 pm both Friday and Saturday. We'll be up again in about two weeks and will try to stop by then. We usually monitor 68 and 16.

Took my grandson out at Point Breeze on Saturday and he hauled this in

Capt Carl, Thanks for taking time to talk to me on Thursday. It was a pleasure to meet you. Good job on getting kids onto fish.
