Public Service Announcement
Prior to heading to the Derby, calibrate all measuring instruments and be advised that old cloth tape measures can shrink that all important 1/4" over time. My teammate, Renegade6 may wish to elaborate.
On a somewhat related note, setting your drag for albie fishing as if you are trying to muscle a cow out of a boulder field is a recipe for disaster.
Lastly, air mattresses, no matter how new, do not play well with crippled herring.
I should write a book........

We could collaborate on a book of Vineyard and Block trip miscues.

I often shake my head and think "Did that really just happen??"
Some people claim that there's an Albie to blame, but I know, it's my own damn fault..... |

Rick,
Had a similar problem a few years back. I generally back off my drag knob after each outing so as not to compress the washers. This is fine as long as you remember to reset/tighten drag washers before next use - well I forgot. My first take casting live eels and I set hard enough to cross the basses eyes - about half my line came off my spool in the worst backlash I ever had with a spinning reel.

lol, good stuff DZ. A lot of my friends who don't fish think I'm a "wicked good fisher". I just shake my head and think "If you only knew..." |

Dennis- your drag issue resulted in a missed take. The bonehead move Rick describes me making this weekend resulted in the opposite: after not backing off from bass-level drag, I had a solid hookup on an albie, then zzzzzzzzzzzz-PING!

And later that day he lost what was certainly a derby winning Bone when some knucklehead who will remain nameless cast over his line.
