    Side of boat, rod?

    We noticed an interesting pattern this year. We fish different rods, mine 9ft, but use the same flashers and same teaser heads. My rod would outfish others easily. Would even change sides to test, no kidding the rod would still out catch. Could it be how one person baits anchovy over another...

    Rod length, 9 vs 10.5?

    Been using an old 9 ft rod for last couple of years. Just like it, works for me and makes netting easier. What are others thoughts? Most of the rods I see on other boats are 10.5. Am I missing something? Longer rods better overall? Opinions?

    Great season! Teaser heads and flashers?

    I am done for season, caught plenty of springs mostly in upper teens and low twenties. Was wondering what combinations people use for anchovies. Myself I have used bloody nose and gold Betsy only for last three years. Works fantastic. Never change. Share your setups!

    Banana Jinx!

    Ok, I have heard a lot about the no bananas rule in boats and how it could lead to BAD luck. I know that many people feel very strongly about this and I kind of half heartedly accepted it. But, these last two days have made me a strong believer. Starting yesterday, lost several fish to lines...

    Manners on the water!

    Fishing the beach in Renfrew, catching has been slow, but no lack of idiots around who lack etiquette! Several boats have done the same thing, rushing through a crowded area to get to spot and then stopping in the middle of a run to put gear down and get the kicker going. One guy took over ten...
