What I use is a double extension, (10ft) big hoop net. Like Muskie net size. That way I can reach way out and the net size makes it easy to get the fish in on the first shot.

    Default What about snubbers?

    I was reading through the last page of posts and wanted to possible add to the discussion, besides loosening up on the drag, what about the use of a snubber on a dipsy or down rigger or leas core?

    Wishin, I think I was near you I was in the grady white boat with the hard top when I picked up & left. Were you in the blk. boat with an orange shirt on ?

    lineman that be me, i saw you leave and really began to notice the rollers and whitecaps - so i left to, i was using you as a gague to get deeper beyond seneca.

    at the risk of sounding mushy maybe by the end of the season all us forum guys can mtg. at sbh for an informal meet and greet before or after heading out - kinda feel like i know you all - i have never meet a fisherman i didn't like - for pleasure boaters that a different story.n

    Wishin, Jmo. but if you buy a net I suggest instead of the heavier rubber ones get the one with the coated nylon mesh, they are lighter,the hooks don't get caught & the fish won't bounce out as they sometimes do with the heavy rubber nets. I know the older rubber ones had that problem. Just a thought.

    Walleyerick, here is another one "Wunderground.com" marine reports you can get near shore & beyond 5mi. reports. Works for Erie & Ontario lakes both. Just click on the bouy #.

    I found that wunderground isn't as accurate as http://forecast.weather.gov/ Enter a zip, get the new map, and click on the water, and wham, nice waver/wind report.
    I typically check both to see if they correlate. If they do, I know what to expect. If they don't, I tend to choose the better forcast but prepare for the worse one
