  1. There is a special rig and brace that you almost sit in to hold you and the reel. Almost all the reels used are a 2 speed and special line and leader material. I've never actually been out where the cows were being caught. I caught a 45lb. yellowfin on 12lb test mono and it took me almost an hour to get it gaffed and in the boat. Seriously kicked my butt and I was a lot younger then. :D But the guys using heavier line weren't getting many bites cause the fish get shy of taking bait when they can see the line. Mostly used 4-6 inch anchovy or sardines for bait.

     

    On the trips that go way south into Mexico; the cost can go well over $1500 depending on the amount of days you are out and whether you travel with the boat or fly down and meet them.

  2. Rumor has it back in 1968, when my parents moved from Lincoln to Waverly(all while I was working a ranch in Stuart,Ne;hmmm) that a person of color could not rent/buy a house in Waverly. Don't think it was true as there were several families of Hispanic descent living there. Probably just a mean spirited rumor.

     

    One thing Knapp, the Fremont law seems to spotlight "illegal aliens". Considering the eleventy billion laws congress has instituted, don't you think there are or should be laws about illegal immigration. I know there are laws that supposedly prohibit the hiring of said population but is not enforced much.
