  4. Just wondering, why did you chose a magdarter with 2 trebles vs a sinlge hook lure like a tin or bucktail when there were blues and your unhooking fish so often?
    Thanks

  5. I usually try to pick a plug that will catch fish. If you are very observent, you will notice that, indeed, I did start with a bucktail. This jig, however, did not produce the results that I was looking for in order to portray that one cast, one fish aspect to blitz fishin' on film. The mag darter did....

  8. Hello Paul , I love the idea of skishing and it is too bad that people feel they have the right to disrespect and give you static,
    I guess the boat guy was upset because if he did acidentally run you over, then legally he WOULD be arrested for some kindof serious charge

    but the other surf casters whop intentionally cast a lure at you and. or into you SHOULD be arrested for attempted whatever
    assholes
    ok so now to my question, I have been thinking about skishing for ten years now, since I first heard about you
    but one thing or another and here I am finally ready , so last night I purchsed the force fins form Cabellas , the ones I got however are the other model from yours, they are the ones where the foot goes through a strap
    here is the question Paul will I be able to use these as well as the other style which I see you use
    ALso any heads p about the type of screws I should use to create the 'korker ' grip on the rocks
    thanks again
    and I really enjoyed that new video, as they say
    and a video is worth even more
    ok
    also I am going to purchase the pinnacle merino elastiprene in 7mm
    , it was eithe 5 or 7 and I figured 7 would both provife greater warmth as well as boyancy
    thanks for willing to field my questions
    you are the man

  9. Jeff, the guy in the boat was not upset at all. I guess the poor sound quality didn't allow you to hear what he said. He was actually a "fan". He also asked me why there were bass floating around.

    Yes, you can use any style Force Fin. Some are easier to put on than others. Remember, when you are skishing, less=more.

    The screws I use are #10 stainless steel screws of 3/4" length. I pre-drill the holes to 1/6".

    Yes, thicker= more floatation. 7mm will be hot in the summer, but not uncomfortable at night.
