Lake Champlain United - Forums

Being new knowing what the "right" gear is, is a challenge. I spend a hours perusing the web, and have gained just enough knowledge to be dangerous. I have an understanding of how things work in theory, but in practice setting a down rigger out takes me 10 minutes and I trip the release ha...
