Unhooking

When the fish is in the net, do most of you reach down with the pliers and try to "snap" the hooks free, or grab the fish with one hand first? Personally, I use my 11" needle nose to grab the embedded hook, then sometimes grab the line with my free hand and move the lure where it needs to be to ease...

My best piece of advice would be to outbid Ed and get Steve as a guide for a day on Hudson! Steve will take you to all the hotspots in the lake, and make it so you are comfortable going there with your own rig. You don't even have to bring your boat on this trip! Sounds like a great deal, and you on...

Thanks for the tips. I'm actually asking for a friend of mine. He's taking a week vacation to Tippy Dam. He's going to set up camp on some island there. They rent out boats locally there, but only on a day to day basis.

No, there aren't any older couples around me who go to Florida. There are 4 upper 20's to mid 30's couples all around.

I'm sorry to hear that, Chris. I live in Kentwood, and I'll be willing to trade you straight up, if that's any closer to your wife's work. 2 stall attached garage, 1/2 finished basement, corner lot, cul-de-sac, fireplace, and even throw in all the stainless-steel appliances! [smilie=brows.gif]
