Lots of guys use just that...I personally haven't had good luck doing it though! Bottom line is we all use what we have confidence in and we all have a budget. Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750

My misunderstanding...That 14 will be ideal for that! Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750

I'd avoid using line for leader moonfish. I realize it's cheaper but line is designed to be supple and castable, and leader is harder and stiffer making it much more durable. I tried several mainline flourocarbons as leader when I started and had issues with breakoffs. I switched to seaguar on the advice of many on this site and haven't looked back. I now use Seaguar for all my line needs. They have a great thin diameter mono, Senshi, that is excellent for use off boards where gaining some diving depth is helpful. You lose a lot of depth on deep divers if you use line diameters over 10lb(.0134") Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750

I have the full GLP trolling system and couldn't be happier. I wouldn't call anything Tony sells off brand. He stands behind his products 100% and is excellent to deal with! Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750

Taughannock doesn't like rocket launchers! My boat won't go out there either without disassembling my GLP system and launcher...I wasnt thinking about height issues. Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750

I went with a buddy and he launched his 195 Lund tyee no prob what so ever at Taughannock. How big a boat do you have? Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750

The most important part of shoulder surgery is selecting the very best orthopedic shoulder surgeon available. My father always said you know what they call the guy who finishes last in his class in med school...Doctor! My dad happens to be a Dr...not all doctors have ivy league education's either....Just saying! I had to go out of network and out of pocket for more than I wanted, but I got THE right surgeon. If you didn't have a long wait to be scheduled for surgery that's another bad sign as the very best surgeons are booked solid.

I sure hope we never see another spill of that magnitude again. The spill was estimated at 1 fourth of that from the Exxon Valdez! My family has a place in the Adirondacks about 10 miles or so from Marks dairy that lost the 3 million gallons of liquid manure. The ammonia depleted oxygen levels and literally killed every single fish. Before August 10 2005 the section upstream from lowville was a fantastic float trip in a canoe. The owner of a local restaurant, memories, right on the river just a mile from the spill tells stories of cleaning up dead fish from the banks for quite some time. I gave up on it after the spill and started camping along other Adirondack waters. Last time I fished it was 2011 and there was still seemingly no walleye or pike, and any fish was noteworthy. I have to get back and float it again though I know it still hasn't recovered completely. The DEC said the mature pike were 20 years old! I sure miss it and the Adirondacks! Hard to make time for it now though! Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750

I've been fishing open water all winter....Loving it! Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750

I had complete reconstruction of my left shoulder in March of 2011 complete with grinding, screws, and several incisions. I knew I'd never draw my 80lb Hoyt super slam and had to buy a new bow, PSE dream season 60#, but by September I had given the 60# to my son and was into a 70lb dream season. Filled all my tags that year including a 9 point i have on my wall. So to answer your question yes you can do it...Mind you it was a very painful rehab, but my shoulder is still PERFECT! After my surgery I told my physical therapist I wanted an aggressive rehab to get back to work and I went 3 days a week with him really pushing me as well as doing exercises at home and I was back at everything way ahead of schedule but I pushed myself hard. Gotta do the other shoulder eventually, but after you go thru what I did I'm not in a hurry till it's absolutely necessary. Do your research as I've heard horror stories. I used Dr Federowicz in Binghamton as he came very highly recommended and wouldn't have anyone else after the success of my left shoulder.

I was always told mono can crush your spool if stretched too much when spooled. Can't see how braid could ever do it, but since it's worked my whole life I doubt it's something I'll change. Also nice to know there is few other full time guys with confidence in the tape!!! Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750

I've put a wrap of tape on my spinning reels for over 20 years fishing braid and never had a problem. When I started trolling I continued this and still never had a problem. The line doesn't ever slip...Is there another reason to put the mono on? Justin Okrepki NYSDEC licensed guide #7324 http://www.otiscolakeguideservice.com/ (607)-349-1750
