I like to keep the chute clear. If you happen to hit multiple fish with that core down the chute chances are that core will get tangled. This is especially important in low light conditions when it tough to see just what is going on as a fish makes a run.
I'm curious how you do this. It seems to me that it would be an extremely long slide before the fish on a slider could reach the end and be into the rod. My other concern was the slide down the core and possible damage to it. If anything special needs to be done let us know. I learn something new every day. Thanks
GJ on the bay and a warm welcome to the GLF site. I'm not sure I want to party with ya after that post. Maybe it's because I have big feet.
GL in Frankfort. It's my second favorite Lake MI port.
Jerry, Thanks for the report. I have been out of the action due to an injury. There are still good numbers of fish being taken shallow and deep. This time of year the in between water usually is sparse picking. If you hit the shallows do it early.
Paul, A warm welcome to the GLF site. If you get a chance go to the welcome forum and introduce yourself. You will like it here. I fish the bay mostly out of AuGres.
A hole could develop in the bunk carpeting and the wet wood come in contact with the bottom of the aluminum boat. I wouldn't chance it. It would probably be OK with a FG boat. Regular wood will last 10 years.
