THE CISCO KID SAYS THANK YOU TO J. SPARROW A GOOD SKIPPER AND MAN WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SETTING UP DOWNRIGGERS, DIPSYS ON WIRE AND PLANER BOARDS THEN I EVER WANT TO LEARN OR COULD LEARN AS I AM A BOTTOM BOUNCER. YOU KNOW A SINKER A WORM AND I AM FISHN PURE SIMPLICITY. HE TENDED 6 RODS DROVE THE BOAT READ THE GARMIN BAITED THE HOOKS ( I WAS THE WORM HANDER OUTER.) HE MADE IT LOOK EASY. I WAS SWEATING JUST WATCHING HIM UNTIL HE PUT UP THE BIG BIMINI TOP ON HIS WELL EQUIPPED CRESTLINER 1850 COMMANDER. THERE IS SO MUCH ROOM IN THE BACK OF THE BOAT WE COULD HAVE HOSTED AMERICAN BANDSTAND. DOES THAT GIVE AWAY MY AGE HA,HA? YEP 10 SWEETMEAT EYES NO PONCHO, NO WHISKEY, NO WINE JUST A FUN DAY GOOD FISHN AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
Begging the question if the fish snapped 20 pound test with 2 head shakes do you think your drag might have been set to tight or something else? Thx for the report.
WENT TO THE CATT ON SATURDAY GOT 11 EYES, TONS OF BOATS HOT SUPER MUGGY BRUTAL FOR THIS OLD GEZER NO BITING FLIES TG!!!
