Thats what I use..the jacket bags have problems with the zippers and are too $$$$ for my taste.

I had used the taco premium kits line last year but I am replacing this year with JB braid. However, as I said, a lot of guys swear by mono. I did see that the Momoi outrigger line was around $15 for a setup. As far as lines tangling during transport I simply collapse my poles and wrap the lines aro...

You can put all your tuna gear on my boat Adrian...no charge

Here's another cod question. My brother-in-law and I took our sons to Alaska last summer for some Halibut fishing. We also caught a fair number of cod. The captain kept a few for bait but wouldn't eat them because they had worms in their flesh. Is this true of all cod and if so what do you do to ge...

A lot of guys use mono and swear by it. Momoi sells "Outrigger Line" which looks like 400lb mono to me (of course they charge more for it because of the name :wink: I use Halllocks and could not fish without them. I also use Knockout clips which I clean, lubricate and properly tension befo...

The one that has inhaled my jig

I could have used that last summer on Stellwagen when the fleet decided to converge on us while trying we were hooked up on charlie.

I hope to if I can get someone to cover my last two classes. I think it is important that this hearing has a very large turnout of concerned fisherman. The NMFS has to be shown that we are not going to stand aside while they give our rights to fish for tuna to another foreign country. I dont plan on...

I do believe that many people know what is going on here. But throw their hands up with the endless letter writing, showing up at meetings or electronic messages to area rep's.

Thats exactly what NOAA/NMFS hopes we do.

If we do not catch our quota in 2009,2010 the US could see a 50% reduction in allowance which will effect both commercial and recreational fisherman. While we are working under regulations that hinder us from meeting the quota the rest of the ICCAT countries are meeting their quotas by not having to...

The ICCAT is requesting that the United States give up a percentage of its tuna quota to other member countries because we have not met the quota in past seasons. Of course one of the reasons we have not met the quota is the restrictions the NMFS has placed on our fisherman which are greater than an...

Use "Liquid Rollers" on your bunks and she will slide off and on like a greased pig. Be sure to keep the bow eyed hooked when backing down the ramp until you are ready to launch. Personally I wouldn't own anything but a bunk trailer.

AGMS are the way to go.

I bought Sears Marine Platinum Die Hards....good price and the best warranty (3 years free replacement)of any others I looked at.

I think we should have a caption contest for the photo of Jay assisting those young ladies come aboard.

I'll start......"Boy do I love my job"

I couldn't take it so I sent them a message on the thread. Bunch of fools.

Closed for commerical or recreational ? Does this include Stellwagen ? I was planning on going in the water next week ?! :sad: Can you post a link ? Framework 42 instituted a close season for cod in the GOM above the 42 line from Nov 1 until April 1. While you can fish for other species in this are...

Picts are up on THT in the Miami Show thread.

The THT crowd is tough to please. Some guys just dont get it.
I was going to respond but then I considered the sources.

for a little while. :mrgreen: The federal district court judge reinstated Framework 42 yesterday which means the Gulf of Maine cod season is now closed again until April 1, 2009. No cod may be landed on any boat fishing north of the 42 line in federal waters. If boarded and cod are found you will be...

I use to mate for a guy that owned a 38' Holland. Great boat but after waxing that beast every spring I developed my motto:

"Id rather fish than wax"

Sorry to hear about your injury Jetty...under the circumstances we will give you a pass :mrgreen: I did see one shot on THT of the RS from a distance...looks like Jay ended up in the high rent district near Yellowfin. If he brings here north I will be sure to take plenty of photos for you as I fill ...

Capt G I looked at your web site and saw that on your boat you have a holder for your anchor. Could you post a picture of it as I would like to get one for my boat, 23 pacific w/hardtop. Any info will help, thank you, Clambo Cambo it's just a standard anchor roller...you can purchase them at any of...

Lets see those PHOTOS!!!!

Jetty....Look on the hardtop...1 conventional 1 spin
