Went out of Depoe on sunday and had a great day, flat water lots of fish and good crew.

I was running 7 stand ups and 2 hand lines and somthing went wrong all nine lines got tangeled but then it was all worth it when a long fined friend got him self cought in the huge birds nest not one hook in this fish, so in the boat he went :smash: and it was one more for the box.

Puffin was fishing with someone that called me on a good bite and I dont recall your name but thanks for the #s.

If that sweater is a siz XXL, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. :jester: That's incredible!! At least you had something to show for the untangling effort. :applause:

The fish wont take the hood so then you weave your own net. :cheers: creativity at it's best.

Spoonplugger was the guy that posted those numbers. We were going to run up there but it was a 12 mile run and we only had an hour of time left so we decided we had enough fish already.

OMG! :bigshock:I run the deck with 4-7 stand ups and two handlines (more or less depending on conditions) and I hope I never ever EVER have that happen. :help: I'd probably just fill my pockets with lead and jump overboard. :jester:

Is there a lesson here that you'd care to share?

Anytime we had tangles, it's usually attributed to one of the following things:
-Lines not deployed at the proper stagger/pattern, running over each other in turns.
-Lines not cleared when fighting a fish
-Boat not left in gear to keep lines orderly behind the boat, and drifting back into/across lines.
-Too many lines out in rough, windy conditions
-letting out the shorter gear first, then tangling in them while deploying the longer gear.
-crazy hot fish swimming back and forth behind the boat knitting sweaters before you can clear the gear.
And finally,
-skipper too busy casting iron (while crew is fighting/gaffing fish) and driving in circles over the gear :laugh:

 

[50 out]

:smash:How do you do that?? seven stand up rods and two handlines?? You Da Man. Not only can you shuffle seven stand ups, you can catch um without a hook:cheers::cheers: nicely done:smash:
50 out

Two hand lines on cleats and four rods on the boat with three more on the tower. Two people fishing and one wheel man. this can get out of hand.

That's a whole new meaning to KNOT!:bigshock:

Trolling 9 knots is pretty fast.

 

[Maverick Maxcat]

My normal spread is 5 rods and 3 handlines. When we get bored I add 2 divers, 2 handlines with boats, and 2-3 more rods in the rocket launchers. # rigs is the worst tangle so far.....ray:
