hey
congrats on a good trip. we are up at geneva ohio fishing right now. we,ve only got to fish a couple of days so far. one day we (me) just needed a rest after the 1st day. now its been raining and windy the last couple of days, but tomorrow is sopposed to be very good.

i started using the chamberlain release also. we havent got them adjusted just right yet but were really getting close. they released on everything but a couple of small white perch, so cant really complain about that. and we only had one false release, and im not sure we didnt get hit on that one. but i plan to loosen them up about another half turn when we go back out.

i also use the lite bite slide diver. it has 2 adjustments on them. we didnt have any falce releases and every hit tripped the diver, even the white perch tripped them. now you might call this a falce releace but i dont. we would have a release and reel it in and no fish, but the worm would be gone. this happened a couple of times. but i want them to release if something gets my worm.

now i dont use the slide part of the diver. i just tie it like a regular diver, then tie my leader to an o ring and then lace my leader through the back and over the lite bite arm. then i adjust the lite bite arm so lose the arm falls down if the diver is tripped. so i have to hold the lite bite arn in its slot and set the diver arm. and i just keep the main arm set tight like im fishing rough water.
