Well; now that you actually bought some true reels (330 gti's) for those umbrellas, they will be easier to get to the boat.

Ask to see Marty's AARP card, it gets him 10% off at Denny's on Tuesdays before 5:00, and no reeling in the WWB rod.

That is funny, my son wanted to know what I was laughing at.

On Alan's boat, if I grab the WWB rod, it's no problem. I just make him put the boat in neutral, let all the lures fall in the mud, and make Alan net my fish.
I still think Alan's boat (proline 23 express with 250 verado) is one of the sweetest boats on the bay.

I tell him $hit like that so he keeps asking me to fish with him.

Without a doubt my most productive boat rod is a large chartruese umbrella.......(20 inch) with 2 (2 oz) white parachutes with 9" chartruese shads on opposing arms back 200 feet with no additional weight.......Mark

I'll make sure that I do not grab that rod if it gets hit.....or double hit

Holy Crap;
How about I cut everything in half: I use a small umbrella, with one 2 oz weight, with 6 inch shads, back 100 ft. Think I'll catch half as many fish.

Oh, Oh, Wait; I'll put two small umbrellas out (one on each corner of the transom), and still catch as many fish as Mark.

Seriously, thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to decide what to run off the 46 Markley as boat lines. I don't have to reel in any of the above suggestions.

Last question, do you think a big deisel motor and large prop would affect Greg's short (55/75 ft) umbrella's?

I'll have to pick Steve's brain on the Stormy Petral for idea's as well.
