By using heavy flouro and short less then 2 ft leader you can keep the nose of your popper digging into the surface. You can get a little more depth with jerkbaits using long flouro leaders. With flouro stiffness you get less hook rap. If you use heavy braid with it's floating characteristics and a flouro leader you create a half moon like line trail with your swimbait well below your braid. That day I was using 80lb braid and 20 flouro leader, it worked for largemouth "once".

I watched last night and this morning (pvr). Will there be more in a series or just this show.

Your amplitude scope is just a flasher. My 10 year old Zercon LCD flasher does the exact same thing it just doesn't show the history of your LCD screen. The the first line of your lcd screen is the only reel time on the whole screen. You will still see Amplitude Scope mark before your lcd screen will mark anything, then you need 3-4 lines of history.

Terry you are right everything on right is LCD Flasher and there is noticeable delay until your LCD screen gets enough history. Get your manual out and read it.

The high end Hummingbird and Lowrance are combination LCD and Flasher. Watch your rightside screen the first 2 vertical lines. Humingbird call it RST Mode = fancy words for flasher mode. Lowrance call it Active line = fancy words for flasher mode. By the time anything gets on your LCD screen it's history.

I looked at the Fish TV. Looks very light/junkie. My Accu View 7-8 years old now, would'nt sell it. Use it for ice perch, usually put camera on bottom facing my bait. You will quickly realize our rods are not that good. Perch after perch will be chewing on your bait and feel nothing. You can get the camera set up side by side with your electronics in your boat and very quickly master your electronics.

Theirs no reason to put your flasher on the shelf for boat season. Nothing better for weedlines.

I did my study about 5 years ago. Bought every brand in 125yd spools. I tested them snapping bucktails for walleye, leaders and mainline. XPS BPS lasted about 2hrs longer than Seaguar. About 10hrs. They all failed just below the leader knot in 10lb and 20lb. Also studied leader connecting knots and settled on triple surgeon.

For all lines mono,co polymer, and flouro color just adds to the dia. The flouro theory is it's clarity is just a couple hundreds off water color. If that theory was correct 4lb and 30lb should be just as effective down at the river. Also with all the water colors available in nature it's probably junk science. Flouro still has a big place in my fishing season.

All tournaments require insurance.

Just ordinary Phil same old.

Guess I was the only guy awake in chemistry class! Mono is a 2 molecule product that means it floats and very porest. Will adsorb water and sink in time, also very stretchy. Co polymer is a 3 molecule product so less porest less stretch and sinks easy. Fluorocarbon is a 4 molecule product,harder, shiner finish, therefore less stretch, less likely to nick and stiff, more pron to coil, harder to mange in cold weather. All the specter braids float. If you try to use any these products and don't consider there built in characteristics you will have poor results.

The steelheaders that think they are more ethical because they don't use roe are just "losers". Sum how they think it's great to make Steelheading difficult. What's more important is the people that show up every year with there tackle boxes and 7ft rods. These are the people that drive steelheading they go out and buy new rods, new reels, buy all the products necessary for success. All us guy/girls that have spend our $1000 are just a drag on future product development, nothing new will ever happen because our money is spent.

Life is a BLUR. I have 9 hobby's all are fishing. They take 12 months. Some I do twice like Spring perch and fall perch, fall Steelheading and spring steelheading unless it's warm winter then it's fall, winter and early spring, with some ice fishing in there. The boats in early for Crappie and perch, then wallys then pike,then bass then surf fishing cape cod that's new really cool with some salmon fishing. Lifes a blur think I will going trout fishing now. Might try competitive carp fishing just not those 56 hr things.

I don't get your complaint. Flouro sinks every flouro sinks and you are trying to make it float. Flouro was never advertised to float it was always advertised that flouro sinks. Flouro was never advertised as no stretch, it's less stretch than mono, braid isn't advertised as no stretch most say 2%. So a product does what it's designed to do and doesn't fit your needs. That's not junk.

Nothing special same old for last 2 month. Little bit cold maybe you stay home!

Clarus makes a 6-8 spinning rod that has lots more punch the 6-6. Think you might be happier with.

I were my Auto inflate all day everyday. My latch cord is permanently attached so it forces me to use it.

Chatted to Ron a week ago. The only thing I got was Mallissa's Abuse's. "That's a weak hook set". "You got Lucky" and much more.

I hear the argument that maintaining the Atlantic program has contributed to stream rehab. What I don't hear is where these projects were done, how many, were did the money come from. The first MNR bio tech was just out of school when he was assigned Atlantic restoration and has been retired for some years now. We need to see this latest plan threw.

I was part of the groups that started the Atlantic program (Bowmnaville Creek Anglers, Durham Region Anglers). We went in person to MNR Minister Newmans office looking for stocking. His statement was Atlantic's were a Heritage Species and part of his mandate. We also got some brown trout stocking in Bowmanville Creek, Oshawa Creek and a couple others. This lead to a trip for MNR and Club members to New Brunswick, New Hampshire. I didn't get to go but 1 guy was diligent at picking up every piece of paper, every study. I diffidently was the only one to read every scrap of paper. Over and over in this materiel it states how easy Atlantic's are caught with flashy, spinning metal. And we are dumping them into Lake O. I heard reports this year of Atlantics being caught off Oshawa pier. These were most likely Pink Salmon. And any reports of Atlantic catches not professionally verified are most likely Pink's. A few years later we took the MNR on! Yes it was a fight to have chinnooks stock east of the Rouge River. Close door strategy meetings throwing out MNR staff. Press releases. Newspaper articles, late night phone calls from the most senior MNR staff. We had professional Dale Carnegie speakers presenting our information. And eventually we had this policy dropped. Good memories and lot's more Bowmanville Fishway, helping Metro East Steelheaders and Credit River Steelheaders get going, starting live release steelhead tourneys ending catch and kill derby's.

I've looked at my 8" Strikemaster and believe it's the same attachment as Jiffy's. Get your buddy's and give it a rip.

My current fascination is surf fishing with large wood top water plugs for Strippers. Heading back to cape cod next year. I've had a stupid days for steelhead, Salmon,bass and 3 for walleye this year. Work is just over rated.

Dish soap and water. Spray hoses, connections. Look for bubbles.

MMmmmmmmmmmmm You showered this morning, made a couple coffees, brushed your teeth, cooked dinner and went swimming at your local pool. You people are funny.
