    My wife made a comment to me the other day "Looks like the water when we went on our cruise". I guess I didn't really take any time to consider this isn't a typical algae bloom. Kind of neat color not so neat for the fish.

    Went out yesterday for a few hours didn't get anything fish but a couple releases with nobody home. Ok so for the temps down 80' over 120-140 I got 53°. Sent from my thinking chair...

    How much backing would you spool on that with the 300 and 600 copper setup?

    Do you use a kicker motor? I noticed a disclaimer saying when a motor is ran over 800rpms that it interfers with the unit. Have you had an issue? Seems kind of pointless to have a unit that won't work with a kicker motor.

    Just wanted to give a big thanks to Bob from fingerlakes tackle co. for taking time out of his day to bring make a special trip over to Hills Valley Stream because they didn't have the spoons I needed. Can't say enough good things about him and his company. You make some great spoons! Chas

    Good to hear I was looking into the clarions. What size are you running? I maybe a little biased towards other brands but okuma's customer service has won me over. I have several of their reels and rods and have great luck with them. Sent from my thinking chair...

    Ok so I have the rods now I was looking at reels and was a little confused. Is the ratio, rotations of handle : feet OR rotations of handle : rotations of spool? Sent from the awesomeness of Chas!

    Does anyone use the okuma 8'6" copper/leadcore rods? I have 2 that I was planning to use will these work? Sent from the awesomeness of Chas!

    I run 20 lbs flouro as leader on my 50 lbs mono main line Sent from my thinking chair...

    I didn't ruin a twilli tip and had the curl and wound up with a kink. I have sense added a twilli tip and no more issues.It is also easier to reel in the wire with the twilli tip. Sent from my thinking chair...

    For some reason it won't let me edit my last post. So it will be the pound copper skipper suggested. Is there a five chart for copper and is there any brand better than another. Sent from my thinking chair...

    I was planning on running them on boards on straight down the chute. I really like the ideas you guys have given me. Looks like I will be running a 600 & 300. On the 300 what weight should I get? I going to go with the 45# on the 600. Sent from my thinking chair...

    Is it out of adjustment? Take the cable off and see if you can put out into gear by hand. That should tell you if it is a cable problem or lower unit issue. When was the last time you changed your lower unit fluid? Sent from my thinking chair...

    Haha thanks Brian. Sent from my thinking chair...

    Spin it in neutral and make sure they're isn't a wobble to the prop. I dinged mine up at the end of last season and still use it but I also made sure it didn't wobble. Sent from my thinking chair...

    I was thinking if I spooled up with 600' it would allow me to run anything up to 600' Sent from my thinking chair...
  18. Chas0218
    So you would recommend (2) 300 units? Sent from my thinking chair...
  19. Chas0218
    My wife is the same way and it is usually due to her being on the phone or distracted in some way. I know what you mean and it is really hard not to lose your temper when you have money in gear that it's in jeoprady. My sister in law however has no problem driving in a straight line except she can't drive the car to save her life. Next year I will have auto pilot before the season starts.

    Haha wow sorry about that. I use the moor sub troll with torpedo wire. Sent from my thinking chair...

    Have you had a recent survey?Sent from my thinking chair...
  22. Chas0218
    Would you guys recommend (2) 600 coppers or (1) 300 and (1) 600? Thanks Chas Sent from my thinking chair...
  23. Chas0218
    I like right around 56 and 2-2.5 Sent from my thinking chair...
  24. Chas0218
    What is the beam and approximate dry weight of the boat? Are the engines below deck?
  25. Chas0218
    +1 I would like to know the temps as well. I should be able to get some tomorrow or sunday.
