Hope to see you there Ed

would love to have you Ed! Hopefully the stars align.

Hello All,
I have a couple question about the tournament.
So what is considered a "Slider"? Ive looked it up and I don't think it's the right thing.
The rules also state 2 baits per line? Is this running a splitter or a cheater off the main line?
Thanks for the help

Slider would refer to either a free sliding or fixed extra lure attached to the main line on your down rigger rods.  Cannot be more than 6 foot long.  I usually run free sliders on my down rigger rods.  So set down rigger like normal, then clip on another spoon on to the main line via a snap swivel attached with a 6 foot length of line attached to another spoon (normally a super slim), then toss it in the water.  That spoon will slide down to where the line bows between the rod tip and the down rigger release (in a perfect world, half the depth of the down rigger ball). 

Here's a good video demo.

 

Thank you for the info and the vidieo.
That cleared it up for me.

If you have any more questions, or anyone that does for that matter just ask.  Pretty big group here to help out

We are two weeks away from tournament day!

Is the Cleaning station @ Marina Shores by the yacht club? I've not been there and I don't see it on the map.
Thanks
