Headhunter

As long as they have their seat belts on Lew, they should be ok! LOL I hear yah... a lot of passionate folks here and I bet none of this would have gotten to this point, should the folks involved be sitting by a fire, enjoying their beverage of choice and respecting each other's opinions. Something about typing on a key board that changes a person's perspective... IMHO HH

Actually Lew, the OP started the thread about seat belts... it just became a gufuffal after a few pages! HH

Amen! HH

CCMT is not going to take pics eh! LMAO Looks like you guys had fun, some spotted carp, a whistle trout and the lead solo in Brown Eyed Girl, all in one report! Well done lads! HH

Ok... breaking out my big spoon here.... How many of you guys running braid can say this about your outing at Quinte... "we went 8 for 14"? I read reports from guys fishing Quinte and they are landing 60% of hook ups at best... and they are all running braid. Run mono and your 8/14 will be 13/14. The only difference between what I'm doing and what guys running braid are doing is the line. It's virtually impossible to rip a lure out of a fishes mouth with 200ft on mono between you and the fish... with braid, there is no give. So, next time you are out there running braid, why not keep ole Headhunters words in the back of your mind... do the count! HH

I run a 50ft mono leader on my lead core... but I don't use a knott to attach them... I use super glue. I makes for an almost seamless transition from leader to core. Lead core is very much speed dependant, so the slower you go, the more opportunity for the lead to sink. Given that most folks troll between .5 mph and 2.5 mph, it really is dependant. Also, Offshore boards will run lead core, at the core no problem. I use the core for non deep diving baits as well as spoons. HH

Well, I'm definately in the minority here, but I will only run mono off my inlines... 20lb test. No leader required, just a snap, not a snap swivel. Mono is elastic as has been described above and personally, that's what I like about it. Hook sets are not a problem, the bait moving through the water will set the hook. But, should I hook into a rather large wet sock, mono affords me the elasticity to not rip the hooks out, as no stretch is want to do. The boards like mono and in rough water, mono acts just like an elastic and will change the lures speed all the while I am sitting back waiting for the rod to go off. I fill my spools, I use Diawa Sealines and it is not un-heard off to have 450ft+ of total line out. Actually, this is my preferred method, especially when the bay gets busy and the fish are spooked. I also really like running lead core. I have five colours on that rod and another 200ft (roughly) of backing on that spool. I will run all five colours in the water and use the backing to connect to the board. The lead core really helps me dial in a depth and repeat it. HH

I wouldn't listen to him Mike... dude don't know squat! HH

Walnuts work well too... I'm just sayin... HH

Ok... here's me stepping out of my usual political correctness around here.... Here's what you need Roy; -one cat -one vinyl floor -two chestnuts, split in two, seed removed Place 1/2 piece of walnut shell on each foot. They should easily slip right on. Place now "nutted" cat on the vinyl floor. Open a beer Laugh till it hurts! *****no cats have ever been hurt doing this.... their owners have however complained about sore belly's and having problems obtaining and maintaining their breathe! HH

Bah ha ha ha... Cliff is leaving the camera at home... bah ha ha ha ... That's the funniest thing I have read here in a while! HH

Gottcha! HH

Oh sure Terry, use my own words against me... like that's fair! LMAO Is it the usual cast of characters you will be going out with Terry... perhaps a visit to Perfect Vue to see the sights!? HH

Terry, I thought you guys were going to be there the week before us? Did yo guys change your plans? HH

Don't forget the "DR." Fil! HH

We are a month out from our trip... thanks to Spiel for pinning this! So, who's in?! HH

It's a well know fact that the major north american builders have been the innovators in this industry... and the N/A builder's top of the line vehicles (Caddie, Lincoln) always brought new technology to the market... the off-shore builders simply copied them. Funny, but it seems that recently, we've seen more and more recalls from the off-shore builders so they to, are being bit by the cheap parts makers as well. HH

Well, a dozen of them just walked by my office, surrounded by 8 police and a bunch of media... and most who saw them, couldn't tell you what they were protesting about! HH

I'm pretty sure that I could easily source a 2000 Caddie! HH

We are definately, IMHO, moving backwards when you consider that most if not all parts used to make cars these days are sourced from off-shore. Also, consider how long our vehicles are expected to "live" today, compared to yester year. I bet I could buy a 1980 Caddie with little or no trouble...try and find a 80 Toyota or Honda! HH

But then he's gonna have to try and figure out how to get the boat down there Chris! Plus, CCMT will never leave! No more pics taken at the Fns household, he doesn't want anyone stealing his spot! HH

Dredge with flour, fry in butter with some salt and garlic... yummy. HH

Your fishing posts don't pay Cliff! Fil... I know that song... for a good time, for a good time call! HH

I couldn't even get you to play the 5 gallon bucket! LOL HH

Cliff, we could bring guitars and entertain the workers.... HH
