SWEET!!!!!!

[likwid]

Its pumping offshore still, pigs and devils bridge have some heavy swells.

likwid is right...yesterday it was blowin 25-30 again and the swells were pretty big. It was weird...70 deg at my house in the sunshine, went down to the boat it it was 48 and frezzing cold blow your hat off kind of day...so I went back to the house.

I may have to try one of these "bliz-krieg" rigs. GB...did it tangle or twist up up much?

[likwid]

Wed it hit about 75 at the house but on BB and Vineyard Sound it never got above about 45-50. Was just plain miserable out there if you weren't in full foul weather gear.

Never switched the instruments over to water temp, was too cold to care.

One boat fishing quicks and nobody out on pigs or the bridge yet.

Jim never got a tangle and I don't think it can twist its made with real good snaps/swivels so it seems to ride true at all times. You asked about a down rigger do you have one and use it? I have a Scotty that I have had for years but only used a few times but would like to learn how to put it to good use this season so any help would be great.

If you could only surfcast them

Not sure if I'm letting the cat out of the bag early but I am putting a website together for Don (initially started by Monique) - there is some more info on the site and a lot of info to come: http://gagslures.com/ . He is in the process of making the text he wants and gathering the materials for me to incorporate in the site.

Some of the daisey chain info is up there.

Capt Don's shop was experimenting with some daiseychain stuff a little while back and was apparently hammering bass and tuna on them. My only caution is make sure you have good strong line .

Saw a rig like that last year at J&B Tackle sold as an offshore trolling lure. If I remember correctly there a little pricier than a 9er,somewhere around $150 for the chain with many colors to choose from. I might spend that on a tuna lure but to drag something in that price range around some rockpiles could a get a little pricey. Nice rigs all in all.
my $.02

I agree about the line John... as I believe that there will be some very LARGE fish taken on these rigs.

I am not exactly sure how to classify this product due to the uniqueness of it's design which by the way Jim... is virtually tangle free.

I wouldn't call it a daisy chain because of the way the baits are set up to actually change position within the school while the rig is moving through the water... the spring loaded pivoting droppers were designed to swing freely around the main harness and the baits swim independently as opposed to the linear pattern that you typically see on a daisy chain setup.

There are many advantages to the design of this product due to the unique features of the Slammer, this offers the boater a totally different experience when trolling.

Umbrella Rig Trolling is more excercise than sport when the rod tips and you have a fish on... every bass is a 50 lb'er until you get it to the boat.

This new concept lets the angler enjoy the fight and weight of the fish as opposed to fighting the tackle. Plus you can use more than one of these if you're trolling by yourself...

In addition,

There are many more other features to this rig that offer an advantage over trolling softbaits.

This rig will raise more fish than softbaits due to it's ability to create more vibration in the water.

Combine that with a healthy visual presentation, and you have a winning combination when trolling.

I hope to see many bass & tuna caught this year on this product.

I took Capt Don out today and he let me drag one of those rigs around through Upper Bay. WWWOOOWW does that thing swim sweet through the water. Looks just like a little school of bait fish. Even dragged up a couple stripers around the channel infront of Barrington. Unbelievable watching that thing in the water. I'll definately be trying around the dump this year from some Tuna with one of those Don. keep up the good Work pal.
