RE: friday morn. Det. river report
well i'll try to explain what i was told. - rig your shank as you do with a reel-use the same weight/leads etc. instead of wire use 130lb surf/trolling line(braided).use a 15 inch piece of 2 inch dowel(wood).cut a notch 1 1/2 inches deep at each end(v shape).tie line to it and wrap line end over end. when ready to fish let out enough line to hit bottom and then unwrapabout 10 ft extra and just wrap this around the round dowel. hold the dowel line set up over the side and bounce the weight just like you would bottom bouncing. if you get hung up just relax your hand and let the line freespool off the dowel(spin in your hand) until you get stopped. also i have tried the heavy short rod with the big penn reel-it works but most of the time at night im alone and those set ups need two hands.
