Those pics are photoshop'd ;D

Nice catch MJ! Kenny got any good stories?

Re: Fluke 6/21/07 W/Pic's!!
 

Thanks all!!

And the rod I use is a ST.Croix, saltwater # F70M-BK 3/4 to 3 oz Line wt 10 to 20 and 7' long


thats the blank, I built the rod myself.

The reel as always been a Narrow Penn 146, very beefy reel to take a beating all year commercial and never fail me! I have 4 such reels.

But as CB said he was able to find a few reels for a deal, and we got to talking and he let me have the Penn Mag 10 Level wind, as soon as you hold this reel you know it means business!!

I have always hated Levels, why?? I am not sure, but after I got past the not having to thumb the line, I am hooked on this reel!
NO BIRD NESTS!! The magnets in this reel stop it as soon as it hits bottom!
The 146's stop also buy you have to adjust things first.

Question MJ - does a guest (Kenny in this case) have to have a commercial license in order to fish with you when you are fishing your commercial size and creel limits?

Re: Fluke 6/21/07 W/Pic's!!
 

Mac there is nothing special about it, but I will get you some pic's, All I did was to get to adjustable poles and mount to were they lined up on the dash.
Right now I have the top mounted backwards *:-/ so it folds back and not front. So I have to take it all apart and fix it.
Trying to get it done this week end since I no fish weekends, But I have stuff to do? *I just go go go *>:(

When you buy a boat Lic no! *You can take anyone with you but have to follow all the rules.
One lic per boat!

Use to be that you could buy individual lic and everyone needed one, then you had option to get boat lic were the lic covered all on the boat, But this year is new now, if you buy the individual lic you can only fish from shore, and need a boat lic for anything caught on a boat.

Lic for 1, *

$35 then $30 for each endorsement, Striper, Fluke, Sea Bass, Scup, ect ect.. the more you buy the more you pay! *Covers fish from shore only!!

Boat Lic

$130, Then $30 for each endorsement, same as above. *Covers fish from shore or boat.
But only the name on lic is covered on shore, and all on the boat.

You can no longer get a Fluke Lic in Ma. Been that way now for 6 or 7 years now. *So even if your not fishing this year you better get it, cause once you lose it your not getting it back!!

So I can take anyone that shows up at the ramp!! I go Tue, Wed, Thur ;)

Re: Fluke 6/21/07 W/Pic's!!
 

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS HERE IN MS. IF YOUR GOING TO FISH COMMERCIALLY YA HAVE TO HAVE A COMMERCIAL LICENSE FOR THE BOAT AND ONE FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL ON THE BOAT. WELL, NOW YA KNOW!

Re: Fluke 6/21/07 W/Pic's!!
 

I don't need a lic for everyone just the boat and everyone is covered.

Re: Fluke 6/21/07 W/Pic's!!

Re: Fluke 6/21/07 W/Pic's!!
 

When you say 3# is that 3 pounds? If not what does 3# and 5 mean in size?
