on swivels and hooks I use either a locked half blood knot or a 4 turn uni knot..never have failures with either..rick
-
a small tip that I use is short ;5/6mm of plastic tube that is used in fly screens and run a piece between sinkers and swivels and the float and swivel..i also use tube with running sinkers to a swivel as lead sinkers hitting your knot will wear it and cause breakage..the tube stops this...rick

just bought a pair of talisman sandals..copy of kaydees..on ebay size 10 ....freaky after just discussing them and trying to find them on my dumbputer a pair popped up on fleabay of all places...rick

some of my spots I fish 14ft deep so a running rig is necessary..i use a small bead above my float and use two small lengths of nylon tied on as stopper knots..you can slide one easily but the two together are very hard to move.just wet them and slide one at a time

hi raiders ..does anybody know if there are fish in the upper reaches of capertee river...google shows large volumes of water but ive never heard it mentioned..??????

could be a bit difficult if you have rollers like 95 percent of boats have..you only need two inches of hull with st/edge or level....Stephan lower or raise motor till cav plate on motor sits parallel with said st/edge..measure height above or below if badly wrong...then a resolution to your problem can be sorted..rick

Trolling for Marlin advice
rickmarlin62 replied to Jordant's topic in Gamefishing Tackle and Techniques
if you want to send a bait deep attach with a 64 rubber band and a snapper lead to the trace side of your swivel -
lower the motor so the cav plate is levl with hull
-
engines normaly need to be raised 25mm for every 30cm back from normal i notice yours is half pod so your cav plate should be 25/30 mm above hull level
-
lower your engine to running height and lay a level or straight edge from under the bottom of hull to your engine..me thinks your cav plate is slighty lower or dead level with your hull if lower you can raise...the water leaves the hull and rises slightly as it flows back towards your motor..engines on pods have a large prob with this as they need to raise their motor higher than normal..check your height then let us know

Finally got away with my best mate chasin cod..we tried some slow water for a change..we fished from yaks for a few hrs but only had two missed strikes.. me thinks we were spookin the fish in the yaks..after a swim and a feed a couple of coldies we went for a fish walkin the banks.as the light faded we wernt dissapointed we ended up with a dozen nice fish on a mixture of diving and surface walkers..cod were only small with biggest just 60 cm but had a great time and cant wait to get back
