    I think bending the tow arm is an attempt to match the line angle to the rod, allowing the nose to not be pulled up by the tow line. I'm gonna put a split ring on a pair this weekend and see if the "play" in it will do anything to the orientation or pull of the boards. And will report the findings.

    I rigged mine with a DIY tattle flag, with an orange OS release on the front and red OS on the back. I'm gonna try a split ring on a set and see...

    Cool. Thanks Gill. Maybe that's where I read it.

    I read somewhere (I thought here, can't find it...) that someone put a split ring on the front clip of their inlines, in place of the screw. My thinking is that having play in the front, will allow the nose of the board to sit lower in the water by overcoming a steep line angle to the board and cause it to side plane a little better. Anybody customize this way? Or agree/disagree with my thinking?

    How long do you brine them for?

    I'm down by the Hudson River and can get fresh herring this time of year... I fish the eastern end near sackets harbor... I'll be up next weekend if anyone close wants me to bring some up. PM me and I'll see what I can do. Also, what do people's brines consist of? How long do you soak em? I'm thinking of brining, vacuum sealing and freezing for later. Does this sound like a good idea? Thanks.

    Thanks everybody! It was great and was released to spawn.

    Got it on live herring. Anchored on some flats between New Paltz and Kingston.

    Hats off to Firechief48! He took me out on the Hudson today and managed to get me my first striper! Tough day... Thunder delayed us, sat in the car and chatted, watched the radar... Hit the diner for breakfast, and when we got back to the lot, we loaded up and went out. Not a lot of action but in the end, pulling lines, a hook up! Firechief runs a solid program down here! So happy we got out! Hope to again soon!!!

    Thanks guys. It really helps to stay on top of things especially when it's choppy. I once dragged a smallie for, well,couldn't tell you how long, but saw it jump 100' behind the board! After that I rigged up tattle flags. Helps also with weeds and debris... A good amount of the time you'll see it go down just a little and not fly right.

    I rigged 2 off shore inline planer boards for $5.50. I did have some wire laying around, so I just purchased some springs and plastic washers. First, take the off the flag and split ring with release clip. Next, take the eyelet out of the front and move it to the back of the board. There is a predrilled hole. Now, fashion your metal wire. It needs a hook on one end and a loop on the other. The loop will stop at the eyelet causing the flag to not go too far forward so you may have to play with it a little. I put a ruler down for reference (I just held mine up to the board as I worked and got a decent length). Next, put the hook end of the wire through the eyelet and hook it on the top hole in the flag. Now for the spring... Thread the spring through a hole in the nose of the board and then thread the other end in the flag's top hole. (Depending on the spring size there are multiple holes in the nose of the board for adjustments) Next, put the screw in the lower hole of the flag and put a washer on the back of the screw. (I used 2 because they were thin.) Now put the screw back in and tighten down to the washer, but not too tight that it will restrict movement. Lastly, put the split ring with the release onto the loop in the wire. Pull the back release and flag should tattle, let go and it should pop back up,Adjust the screw or spring accordingly Last tip... When running with this set up, you have to put slack between the front clip and the back clip in order for the flag to go down. Tight lines! -Luke

    Will you ship? I'd be interested in 2. Also, is that a triple mount I see?

    X2. They are great.

    I can 2nd how good merrells are on your feet. Though I haven't tried the slip ons, I wear merrells everyday as a high school teacher walking around on concrete floors all day. I wore my merrell hiking shoes to school on a Friday a few years back and went out and bought some more decent looking ones for everyday wear. Got a pair on right now. I'm gonna check out the slip ons. For the boat

    If you find a warm pocket, does anyone ever stop and cast? If the conditions are right (little wind).

    Like Dan said, pics will help. Also, you can add this as a topic in the "this old boat" section. Might help. Good luck! Welcome to the site.

    This will be my first season for spring Browns as well. Heading up 81 the same weekend. I'm going to the Henderson Bay, Stony Point Area.
  25. greenboatluke
    This is going to be my first year trolling for Browns. Going up in 2 weeks. I was looking for tips on trolling areas. I've heard the mansions and assume that was trolling northeast out of the harbor along the shore. Is that correct? Anybody troll association area? Of course all advice is greatly appreciated.
