Eyecrazy,I did see picture of you new boat and it looks really nice.You have the enclosed cabin that really helps to keep you warm in the cold.Capt Sam has that same type of enclosed cabin on his boat.Whatever you are doing fishing seams be be working from what I have read on your reports.But having flexibility to change your approach when the bite gets tough can really help.Enjoy your new boat.
Thanks Bob! I gave up trying to get inlines to hold with braid. We’ve been fishing with braid and wrapping the boards since I started trolling inlines. I just like the longevity of the braid and the quick hookups are a plus when we are trolling super low speeds. I misunderstood your post and thought you switched from braid to mono and was interested in how it worked out for you. I’m always learning and you’ve given a lot of good information over the years.
