dunno.  not much can be done about that one. 

[MolBasser]

guys are even using plain lead 16 ounce torpedo weights. 

That's hilarious.  All the youtube channels are saying it has to be "insert esoteric color pattern here" or you won't get bit.....

I caught a nice one last season on a purple spray painted 16oz weight with two 7/0 assist hooks. Only reason it was purple was because that was the only color I had at the time, "borrowed it" from my wifes craft box.

If you're dropping it to 400' at 2AM how much color could they actually see?

[Keta]

My last 2 cow BFT saw a grey 16 ounce sinker but did not see the 2 12/0 hooks.

A little over a month to go..... who's started to inspect, inventory, replace and organize gear?

[Crab Pot]

Due to family medical emergency my parents will be moving in with my wife and I, so I have to back out of the trip.

If someone on the waiting list want's my spot, we can work out the details. I'll follow the sequence of the list to be fair. If folks on the list don't want my spot, I'll open it up to everyone.

Please PM me if interested.

Getting old sucks.

Thanks,

Steve

James, Sam, Ray,

All-ya-all are on the waiting list, so I thought I'd reach out before going to a potential Plan B.

Please let me know one way or the other if you'd like to join this trip ASAP please.

Thanks,

Steve
