Anyone Fishing?

[Joe H]

Great fishing Larry, nothing like a mess of fish with some good friends, nothing but hard water here already.

Peter, that just makes me hungry, looks good!

Good Friend's and a life time memory.

That looks like a lot of fun.

Oh yeah. But we have fun even when the fish don't bite

One thing you'll like to hear Rogerdog, yesterday is the first time I've fished with Raymond since he installed his Minn Kota iPilot trolling motor, just like yours. It is amazing Makes anchors almost obsolete, makes Power poles and stake out sticks almost obsolete too. We were fishing in about 15 feet of water, too deep for the Power pole. The wind was blowing 25 kts in one direction and the current running about 4 kts directly opposite and there was a good chop on the water. Not good anchoring conditions. The iPilot held us exactly where we wanted to be all day, could easily reposition the boat at will with the touch of a button, then tell it to stay there and it stays in that spot like a rock. Beats the heck out of an anchor for fishing

Anyone experience with this rod/reel ?

Not me, I don't know squat about deep drop fishing in 1,200' of water. We catch red snapper in 100 feet, not 1,000 That sounds like more work than fun to me. Diawa makes good stuff though.

Dang Joe I told you hard water only belongs in drinks and covering fish in the cooler

I'd have to go electric at those depths too I don't have any experience with it myself. Derrick (dborecky) has a good bit, and so does Joel I think.

That looks like a great day on the water Captain Great catch!
I'm on vacation for 2 weeks, as soon as this crappy wind blows out I'm going. It's supposed to lay down this weekend...
Hey Peter, how ya doing? Check out these reels. http://www.deepdroptackle.com/kristalelectricreels.htm. I'll get the model number you need from Derrick if any of them interest you.

Hi Richard I'm doing fine and you? we are in the states again in Dec, here you find the dates and places if you like to meet again

Thanks for the link I'm familiar with Kristal reels, I found them very bulky and to be honest I don't see much changes and innovations in them over the past years, that's why I'm hanging to Daiwa
I know don't chance a winning team, but still

[Aripeka Angler]

Peter, great you are doing well
I'm not far from Orlando, maybe we can meet for dinner one night?

Wow, that was a great day of catching Larry

Hey peter, I have a little experience in deep dropping for snappers over in Bahamas. We use my big electric swordfish rod and a smaller Diawa electric, one up one down. Its normally 500 to 750 feet. The little Diawa is very fast and perfect for that kind of fishing. We are after mostly yellow eye snapper, which look very similar to red snapper.
