I used the "pull and count" line out method. I have some good 5500Cs from my bass days. I have some good 6 foot poles, and that should work. I don't need to invest in a lot of aggravation. I have Brenda that fills the ticket.

I got into some catfish and drum which made a mess and didnt help my patience gauge.

I did try my 6 inch jig planer boards. They now work fine after I glued some styrofoam (Billbob recommendation and his foam too) on the backs. I did catch fish using the boards with the jigs, mostly tater chips though.

Was not happy with the touch 7 sunlight view. Sucked in fact! I switched to grayscale so I could at least see stuff.

I ain't quitting. Just aggravated.
