anyone know if the wire is twisted around the copper core or braided? If is twisted and you use a ball style weight it might be trying to unravel itself. Sent from my thinking chair...

Torpedo cable is like coated cable but is stainless sheath with copper core eliminating the plastic coated cable. You don't have to worry about the plastic getting chafed or Sun rotted then the cable not working. Sent from my thinking chair...

Good luck talking to charter captians, I only know of 1 maybe 2 that have ever helped anyone out. I have a buddy that I fish with a lot and we go out 5 or 6 times together during the summer and catch some walleye, he is so tight lipped he will lie to his own grandmother about where he caught the fish. I don't mind giving out info on baits or location, BUT I did have to work my butt off and spend lots of $$$$ and time to see what worked and what didn't. I think there is a much larger learning curve with walleye fishing than salmon.

I have fished okuma, diawa, cabela's, abu garcia, shakespeare, and a few others out of them I prefer Okuma. I have majority Okuma on my boat they are a great reel and great customer service when you need it.

Yup no need for it, they are as rare as a chupacabra. Sent from my thinking chair...

Nope caught them all last year. Move onto the next thread nothing to see here.... Sent from my thinking chair...

HJ 11 Sorry fingers were typing faster than I was thinking.

I used to cast off the piers at night and these produced much better than any other pattern.

I have the GLP vertical quad trees and I have never wanted to change the angle of the rod holder. I love being able to un-twist and rotate and lock back in. I can literally hang off these rod holders, they are super strong, If you want to add a couple different angles he has some you can. I might buy a couple 0* holders for my dipsy rods but they aren't necessary. I have never used the big jons, I don't know of their durability I am only basing my decision off my experience of the GLP products. Not to mention customer service with GLP is fantastic.

x5...I think you get the idea.

I have several of the walker rods, they work fantastic. I always get a bunch of confused looks with these rods because people don't know which way to hold them. I believe they are called walker chinook classics. Looks like FishUSA used to sell them. http://www.fishusa.com/product/Walker-Downrigger-Rods

I know of a few people that stay in Oswego at Wright's Landing they have public restrooms and docks with electric. You can also find some nice seasonal campgrounds in that area if you would rather stay in a camper or trailer.

They say partnerships are the worse ship to be on. I too would not go in on a partnership on a camp, or boat. My grandfather used to be co-owner of a hunting camp with another guy. THe other guy pasted away and instead of giving my grand father to buy his half passed it down to his son. The son wanted everyone to pay in more and try to make a profit off all the guys. Needless to say my grandfather got out of it and so did many other guys forcing the son to sell his half because he couldn't afford it. Lesson learned on both ends. Anything mechanical is even worse to be in a partnership, I could see someone getting pissed because they have to foot half the price of a repair and they use the boat less or it didn't happen when they were running. There are a lot of things that can go wrong. I know of a couple small business partnerships that have last years if not decades but there has to be complete cooperation on both sides.
