if they let you use braid you'd get away with 1/2 the weight and catch twice the fish

before they "banned" it on headboats i used it a few times. i figure i have intermediate headboat skills and i destroyed the regulars out catching them 2 or 3 to 1.

much more feel at 300 or 400 ft of water. especiallt when fishing bait for haddock.

i've never been on a party boat that gave me a hard time about braid. just put on a 20' topshot of mono for the inevitable tangles and you are good to go

mad...i was fishing w/ 30 lb braid.. everyone on the boat had braid .....i still needed a 21oz to 26 oz jig to hit the bottom ,the current was ripping and with the 10 to 20 mph winds pushing the boat. i had 10 to 30 sec bumping the bottom. also i was tossing the jig 50 ft up tide ..its not my first time cod fishing

I drove by Buckman's house at about 515pm. There were like 6 pickup trucks in the driveway.
Must have been a meeting of the John Birch Society or something.
One of the damn things was sticking out into the street. traffic was backed up either way because only one lane could get by at a time

That was mine....Drive around it, that's why God gave you a steering wheel

I thought it was another GOP action to slow things down.
