  1. Yeah, we're moving to southern New Hampshire. Not looking forward to relearning combat driving...
  2. No fleas off Sandy but practically a carpet of weed/algae/moss from 40-60 fow. Gummed things up as bad as fleas but easier to remove and not as smelly.
  3. Inside joke for Lou, Jeremy and Jolly. Not sayin' you're wrong, Mike...

  5. I've used homemade boards on an 18 ft Starcraft aluminum (Big Jon bow mast) and a 21 ft Starcraft fiberglass (side reels) and they've both worked fine. The best set-up I've seen used is Otter boards run off six-foot side masts - they pull HARD and the extra height really helps the releases slide out.
  6. We released this 25 lb king last summer during last year's summer derby. We had fish in the freezer and he wasn't big enough to weigh...
  7. Flasher / spoon combo off Shipbuilder's Creek last year:
  8. I've seen Kishels Fish Scent used on spoons and paddles (avoid putting on the fly itself). I have a tub of Smelly Jelly UV Herring that I've only tried a couple times - the jury is still out...
  9. He's out of Point Breeze, NY http://www.salmocharters.com/index.html
  10. Kurt is growing a perfect reproduction out of hops, which he will then turn into laker beer...
  11. One of those, "If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it" moments...
  12. Very nice! Great to see similar techniques used in other places.
  13. That's the infuriating thing, Rick. I was on a boat this close to you, presumably running a similar program, and you crushed the fish. I saw the same last year at the Shootout, between Jolly and his buddy Lou Borrelli. I'm sorry I'm moving - I'll miss trying to sort it out...
  14. Sorry, guys. I'm fishing the Shootout with Jolly and Pat; we have other plans... Bondouley - I didn't realize at the time why you looked familiar. I'll say hello next time.
  15. I thought I recognized you from your pictures. I saw you at some point...
  16. I observed for the first time this weekend. I did it both for the experience and to help out a buddy who has given me some great fishing opportunities. My pay was perfectly acceptable, covering my gas and expenses for the weekend with enough left over to pay my share for the upcoming Sandy Creek Shootout, grab some BBQ on the way home Sunday and have a little extra spending cash. You will not get rich doing this. What was invaluable was getting to meet a great bunch of guys, watch them fish together as a team and compare with my previous (and limited) personal tournament experience. I've fished last year's Shootout with Jolly, this year's Wilson Harbor Invitational with Silver Fox and I observed Make the Turn at this weekend's Oak Orchard Open. I've learned quite a bit from each of them and appreciate having been given the chance.
  17. Always fun...

  19. I wish I'd managed a picture of it first but we got him back in the water strong and healthy. Someone else will keep him - and be able to read the tag with younger eyes!
  20. The piercings go with the tattoos
