  1. It is supposed to be a time for celebration as it was quite an accomplishment. But, when your a dirtbag looking to profit at any cost this is what happens.
  2. If its not in writing your discussion is worthless
  3. If its not in writing your agreement is worthless
  4. Has there been a court case in the past where one crew member aboard of a boat entered a fish that won a tournament but declined to split the winnings in any way? For instance, lets say there were 4 people fishing a tournament on Lake O that required all on board to have a ticket for the others be legally allowed to fish the derby. A rod goes off, one of the non owners of the boat fights the fish, the boat owner/captain nets the fish. The fish is then rightfully entered by the angler. Later, the angler decides to keep all of the winnings for himself alone. Has a case like this gone to court?
  5. I will take it
  6. If I run mine more then 10-15' back and take a hit on a turn, the rigger that fired many times will get into my dipsy line.
  7. I am looking for a triple or four rod tree. I will be in the Fair Haven area for a few more days.
  8. Great advice all. I picked up two 10 color rods today. And I will add 2oz of weight if needed. I didn’t realize how big of a reel would be needed for 20 colors. I wanted 20 colors to get down to 90-100’ for lakers here in Maine off of boards then my two riggers. I will use these 10 color with weights to get to 60-64’ off of boards outside my high dipsy
  9. I will use the leadcore in Maine in the spring. I don’t want to buy copper rods.
  10. I am considering setting up two leadcore rods with 20 colors each. I would like to add a 10’ section of 30 lb mono at 10 colors, and 15 colors to hook into my offshore boards. This was I would be more flexible on depths I could fish them off of boards. Any thoughts?
  11. I installed a washdown hose in my Duckworth. I also put a cutting board on the bottom side of my hatch cover. I bleed the fish for 30 min then fillet and bury the fillets in gallon ziploc bags in ice. The quality of the fish is 2ed to none. I would not eat some/most of the fish I see coming off of other boats. A block of ice in a cooler with big ungutted fish sitting for 5-6 hrs is a dam shame and a waste.
  12. Great report. Trying to plan my first trip now.
  13. I agree. I have been a commercial fisherman for 33 years here on the East Coast. When I went to buy a fishing boat I knew I wanted a all wielded aluminum west coast boat. No wood in the console is a must. Thats why I went with a Duckworth. Its been 3 years and no regrets at all.
  14. Davenport Bait and Tackle has a house we rented. With a slip.
  15. This is not that uncommon. I had a guy two weeks ago that showed me two of his that failed the same place. I still like them better then any other rod holder you just need to inspect the pins more often as it will show the pins loosening before it gets to this point.
  16. Lol, not today 😖 only 1 to the boat before noon. Came in for lunch and back at it later. I took the boat to Oswego yesterday morning. I would say that was a mistake from what I have seen so far.
  17. We fished west of the chute quite a bit and did well, not fast action but big fish. I may be there in the morning. Good luck to you
  18. I think its better fishing to the East now from what I am being told.
  19. My wife and I had to go back to Maine for a few days for work and to pick up our Grandson Gabe. We have been out a few days and still are having decent luck. I did take a guy from PA with me a couple of late afternoon trips. Sunday we struggled with only 5/16 in 10 hrs. We just could not keep them on the hooks but we did land one 21-22” Atlantic that went back. Monday evening we got out for 3 hrs and went 4/6 with one king that was a hog at 39” (no weight) Gabe also done what he could to land one 37”. We went 5/6 this morning before work from 6:15-8.The temp at 130’ was 44 degrees at 50’.
  20. I ripped the straps off of one of my Cabela drift bags. I am looking for one or two preferably amish outfitters within 50 miles of Fair Haven
