    Towing Sailfish 272 with a D-max

    When I pulled my gulfstream with my 02' 2500 (6-speed manual Cummings) I NEVER got less than 14 MPG (65-70mph). I am now pulling a 282 with a bigger trailer and so far I have not got less than 12 (60-65). I would be shocked if I started getting 8 or 9...

    Upgraded Lowrance Unit

    Thats looking really nice Bill. Are you shooting through with the M260? I have seen your previous post and know your happy with it, but can you speak more to the performance? At what depth do you loose bottom offshore? Do you have any problems seeing bait or thermoclinces? I am debating...

    Trailering Sailfish and Gulfstream

    I trailered my Gulfstream all over from Md to NY and Md to Key West. I got the permits for the long hauls but was never stopped or checked. I very frequently trailered from Annapolis area to Ocean City (over the rt 50 bridge), all over southern Md and never had a problem. - As far as the...

    Downrigger Tuna Tactics

    :lol: There are a few chains out there. The trouble has been how they are rigged to the main line. We took the trouble of making our own swivel. It took about a year to get it right. It was designed specifically for rigging our rubber Hoos, but it also works well rigging shads in a daisy...

    Downrigger Tuna Tactics

    There are a few offshore setups that just have to go out every trip. They don't always produce but they have saved many slow days. Often they are the only lines hit. What are they? The deep line and the WAY WAY Back lines. This thread is dedicated to the deep lines. There are lots of ways...

    Avets & Tuna Fishing

    I didn't want to hijack the "show your boat" thread, so I'll start a new thread. Gradyfish22: The Blue on the Avets has held up VERY well, showing no signs of wear. I really like the 30's but the 4/0 2-speeds have worked out so well, I am reluctant to get a larger reel. For the fishing we...
