I wish you much success. Publishing is a tough business. One of the best publishing deals out there for an independent author is ebooks. I recommend Smashwords. Smashwords is the world's largest distributor of independent authors. An ebook is out there forever. A print book can disappear if the first printing does not sell well. I published an ebook this past summer through Smashwords about pet loss/grief. It has been a great experience. The other major way to epublish is through Amazon. Amazon…

The biggest difference between Smashwords and Amazon is at Smashwords the author has full control. Many authors publish through both. hehe!

<p>Nice. That sounds like those Kontiki rigs New Zealanders use, except they drag the line out with a RC torpedo looking thing. This powerlining methods seems simpler.</p>

<p>damon- powerlining is basically taking a very long,say 60 feet,rubber band and launching it with a weight on one end as far as possible.either by hand or with a co2 cylinder.you hang on to the stretched rubber band and attach a trot line with multiple snap swivels spaced with knots and beads,you then put baited snelled droppers on these and let the rubber band pull the rig out with tension.you tie this off to a bucket weighted with water.some folks use large floats to keep the rig on the…</p>

<p>Not to forget the HIGHLY POPULAR ice fishing that is about to commence shortly in northern states, and all of Canada! Ice fishing in its basic ,original form was essentially handlining, and actually still is, except that commercialization has convinced many to go with speciality short rods,sometimes expensive reels, lines and lures!

Funny story - I had a friend who went nuts for ice fishing for bluegills, to the point that he fell through thin ice several times during warming periods; yet when I suggested we try the same fishing tactics in Spring and summer, he wouldn't even consider "wasting time on those little fish", nor vertical jigging/hand lining for them,preferring his expensive custom rods for big "game fish" !</p>
