I use OR8 pad release's and I don't like them flopping around when not in use, so this year I came up with an Idea and it's working so far:thumb: I took a 6" pc. black electrical tap and put around the down rigger arm where it will serve as a release hanger, trim to lenght w/sissors and clip the release on the tap end that hangs about 2" below the arm, NO more damaged release pads:cool:

First site for me too:thumb: Thanks Mike:cool:

Look-en Good Tony, Hey by the way I've got the riggers on the King Chaser I think I'am going to like them We'll find out Sunday if the weather will hold up Thanks:thumb:.

Yep it was tougher then friday night, I most likley seen ya but didn't ya either:( but I got fliped off by the guy going the wrong way by the wall I said something on the radio about it, and when our boards about crashed I went to the back and said don't see the rotation everyone going CCW and you going CW he looked at me and fliped me off JUST don't know sometimes:D

OK Tony:thumb:

Jason you may hit the nail right on the head the water is warming up fast I had 44 to 46.6 out to 35fow, and there is talk of some kings on the other side of pond to the east, they should go south to the blue bridge then come North up the east side, I'am thinking 2 to 3 weeks are going to be good:thumb:
