Got Fleas???

[SkeinMachine]

We had 5 ft strings on the wire divers this morning,after a 1/2 hr. :shock: :shock:

FF on the rigger rods produced next to no flea build up.

Skeiner,

Do you ever work? It seems like you fish every day.

Skeiner,

Do you ever work? It seems like you fish every day.

Started holidays yesterday,off till the 18th.

Prior to my holidays,this bulls prick(I go where I'm shoved) hasn't missed a days work this year

[GAMBLER]

Good luck in the GOSD Skeiner. Have fun on your days off. Hopefully the weather cooperates for you.

[FISHINMAN]

Man that is one worn looking probe. Skeiner what is that you have attached to the ball? is that a release? It has a long lead coming off it too.

[SkeinMachine]

Thx bud,our largest today was 27.3(I'll get the pic up when I receive it from Ross).

Storm coming up tonight,not sure if we'll make it out in the morning,we'll see. :?

[SkeinMachine]

Yes Tom,that's a 3 ft release clip off the shark below the probe,never had a tangle with it.

[FISHINMAN]

Why do you use a 3ft release? Whats the advantage? I've never seen anybody with one of those.

[SkeinMachine]

I asked the skipper that question this morning,he said to prevent the rigger line from tangling up with the probe.

Also mentioned he doesn't have to pull the shark out of the water when resetting the rigger(he uses a mini gaff hook-made out of a coat hanger + handle)to grab the release in the water.

SkeinMachine,

Sorry to "pummel" you and your pic for details, but I noticed you don't have any of the rubberized electrical tape that Moor recommends on the top connection between the top of the probe and your setup with a coastlock swivel. I wanted to do the same thing you have, so I could easily disconnect the probe, but I wondered if the lack of insulation affects performance. Have you had any loss of signal (specifically at depths over 100ft)?

Thanks for the advice,

- Chris

[salmonite]

how do you like those shark weights? are they worth the cash? do they attract fish like the add says? how is the blow back on the 12lb or would you suggest the 15lbers??? thanks

[chinook]

Skeiner. have to say that the last I fished the Oak before I left for vacation, it seemed like they were the worse I've seen at that time of year. Have to wonder what the next few weeks will bring.

I just got off of the phone with Kell Labs and I was told the units now come with a quick disconnect so you can remove the probe. I assume that means no tape needed.

[momay4000]

Thanks Diesel - the rubber tape job always seemed kind of "cheap" to me. Glad to hear they came up with a better solution.

Momay4000, I have my probe set up the same way with no tape and no problem, nice for taking it on and off.

Salmonite, I don't have the shark weights on my boat but have fished on Jax boat with them and he has a 16lber on his probe that has nearly no blow back on it. As far as attracting fish not sure of that whole thing :roll:

Momay4000,

His last one did not have cable hooked to it either!!! :shock:

[FISHINMAN]

No Brian it had 200ft of cable hooked to it and I hope when your dredging/trolling for those lousy mud puppy Lakers one day your line gets caught in it and breaks off

Muskybluegrass what you laughing about :x

[GAMBLER]

Sorry Tom let me rephrase that. Momay4000, the last one he had was not hooked to a rigger! Is that better Tom!

[FISHINMAN]

It was when I started back in :shock: :x
