Thanks RT, I am a Wassie but, I'm thinking the Oreo setup mentioned in your post will produce much better results. RT- I also have a drift boat with 9.9 kicker(no sled,dammit) would this be more suitable for the waters being fished? I hear Columbia R. and automatically think big water, big boat. If it is not necessary to drag the beast(6500 lbs.) down there I would just as soon not. The drift boat does not have the luxuries as my walkaround but, I always think along the safety first rules. Thanks again,Sid
