#1 if you guys want to fill the Salmon board this Spring it can be done easily. Even on a Spring like this. They are out there, but you have to go to them, and you can't be the proud owner of a felony! A lot of you guys travel from far away to get to the bar in the Spring. Whats another 20 miles West at that point?
#2 As far as the money not paid out for the Spring Derby goes......It's Dave's prerogative what he does. The derby is his business. I'm sure you wouldn't like someone telling you what to do with your business, or smashing your business on forums because they don't agree with your business model. As with all businesses if you like the way the owner runs them you support them. If you don't agree with their business model you don't support them.
Sometimes there are tweaks that make a product that much better, and here is what we do with our Amish Outfitter releases. Once you have these set up rigging lines goes fast. we run 250lb Power Pro as our tow line.
We sleeved the back hole and that's where we put our planer line through. We added a bolt and lock nut to add weight to help them slide down and stay down on windy days.
Check your facts
A-TOM-MIK Copper is not made by AFW, it was manufactured at Oswego Wire through the 70’s till the later 90’s and picked up by Tom in 2004, the same copper wire sold to the finger lake region for about 30 years and distributed from Barry’s Bait-Boat-n-Tackle on Seneca Lake. Tom had the lay re-worked in 2007 to be a tighter lay. Oswego Wire stopped making 7-Strand in the later 00’s and Tom had it made elsewhere and shipped to local plants in NY upon demand. Call AFW and ask for Shawn to verify they do not manufacture A-TOM-MIK Copper. They do however supply A-TOM-MIK with much of their stainless wire.

April 12th - Left the Genesee River around 6:30am and hooked right out of the chute. We motored down to Irondequoit Bay and set lines. Water temps were in the high 30s to low 40s.
We worked some great colored water between Ship Builders and Hedges. We had a great day! A hot set-up was a Mixed Veggies fished off a Split Shot rig, and a Glow Frog fished off our Cannon Downriggers. Hot stick bait colors were SIlver/Blue, Black/Silver, and Perch.
We ran our riggers back 50-60’, our boards from 120-175’ back, and our split shot rigs 80-100’ back.
April 13th - We had the same crew out again, and instead of changing up the scenery we went right again out of the chute. We left the Genesee River around 6:30am, and motored down to Irondequoit Bay. When we set lines we noticed the water temps were up a few degrees.
We worked the area between the Irondequoit Bay and Webster Park. The bite was just as good as the day before. Our HOT Split shot rigs from Saturday were DEAD! Hot rigs today were our planer board lines with bright colored sticks. Firetiger, Orange, Chartreuse, and Froggy all took several shots. We ran them from 125-175’ back. The lines fished off our Cannon Downriggers also produced well with Glow Froggy, Sea Sick Waddler, and Gator spoons fished 50-60’ back.
Hold your horses! You wont be able to target them specifically for at least another month on the US side. Then again stranger things have happened.....
Hahahaha....yea, that wouldn't help the kids case.
Nice fish, and I'm sure he'll remember skipping school and banging some nice fish for the rest of his life.

Pulled out of the slip around 7:00am, took the easy troll down the Genesee River, and hooked Left out of the chute. Boy did that feel good! Figured the water East was beat up from the strong West winds on Saturday. Although, some guys pulled some good numbers out of there as the day wore on. Our day was great, and we had plenty of action. We set-up in front of Russel Station, and trolled her to Braddock point trying to hang in 8-15' of water depending on where the mud line was. Action came in spurts, which we figured it would as we passed the ponds. Water temps ranged from 37-40 degrees. Most fish seemed to be in that 10-16" range, but we did get a couple of nice ones. It's good to see that class of fish. Last Spring everything was just HUGE, but we caught very little skippies. No one lure was hot. Black and silver Smithwicks, Stinger Glow Frog, Dreamweaver Firefly SS, Stinger UV Wonderbread, Challenger Lady Bug, and a Smithwick Firetiger all took their fair share of fish. Back at it again next weekend!
Enjoy the fish p**n now!
