i couple soft ones. i had one that i missed and al had a couple hits and we missed them to. we trolled from 1.4 to 2.2 mph tried everything but the kitchen sink.and if i would have had a kitchen sink i would have used that too.

Well you did better than we did. We trolled at different speeds and used the kitchen sink. Maybe next time

yeah i think i was one of the few people hooking anything today. I only saw one other person pulling in something but didn't see what it was. so al is still a wiper virgin.

Now Mike, what happened to the rest of the story? I think it had something to do with a tow rope, you getting wet, and trying to hold on to the electric motor instead of clamping it on? I'll let you fill in the blanks. But the rest of the story needs to be told.
