Marty funny you should say that..last year when one of family members wanted some fillets in late april I figured the "easiest" (insert smile here) was to grab a few of those spider web covered trolling rods so..
walked over and looked behind the old spare tires and stuff and there they were...grabbbed the first four along w/ 2 green umbrellas and 2 white umbrellas...and had our 3 man limit in 50 minutes....
But it was stressful.......
How do you guys ride in circles and around and around...and eat...Jeeez
Now as far as my light tackle rods go...they are lined up on the wall in order...very neat clean and organized..I have a hard time picking which one to use each trip...see it's all the same.....
BTW that greg is such a nice guy, last time I saw him at the "not so secret spot-burner spot" he was tieing leaders for everyone on the boat....had to because every time I looked up he was re-tieing.. unless he kept breaking off..
If you want me to help tie your leaders, I certainly would help. I dont remember breaking off a lot, though I am sure i did snag up once. I do remember retying several times (and having to take a few business calls) as I believe I started with a 1oz spro bucktail with bkd, then went to a 1.5 oz and then a 2oz to try to feel bottom better. Since you were there first and wanting to show some courtesy to the the first boat there, we fished the water a little more differently than i had on the previous trips and was trying figure out the feel when casting across the outflow. Besides, the guys that were with me were better light tackle guys than I am and I was trying to follow their lead more to learn other ways to fish the area. We were glad to see you guys land a nice-sized fish just as we got there as it was the only fish over 30" we saw caught all day. Unfortuantely our largest was a little short of 30" by dave. Though it wasnt my best trip to the "secret spot" , we caught fish and had good time. 
) when we snagged something in 70' of water. I think I lost close to $50 in lures between a nice AllTackle tandem rig and an umbrella.
