  1. Scott - if your fishing the first weekend of the derby, and practicing for the WHI, why not fill up your 7 slots? That gives you 3-4 days worth of fishing.
  2. It is very similar to that Chas. The format seems to work over there, so we brought it over here. Even if you aren't fishing all week long you have the first weekend to fill your slots.

  4. OK, I'll PM you Sent from my Droid Maxx using the Lake Ontario United App.
  5. Straight from Cannon - CannonLink was discontinued last year. If you find one it is compatible with 700 series Humminbirds and up.

  7. This safe would make someone a great Christmas present! The sticker below on the boxed up safe will explain the specifics. Pick up in Rochester only. $700
  8. I couldn't find it on the website. i will get in touch with those guys today and see what's up.
  9. Reel was rebuilt and has about 5-6 uses on it, and is in great shape. $40 picked up in Rochester or the surrounding area.
  10. Two brand new never used 10'6" Daiwa Heartland Dipsey Diver rods. $80 for the pair picked up in Rochester, or it's surrounding area. (FishUSA list them for $49.95ea plus shipping) Model: HLD-DD1062H H R 10'6" 2 12 - 30 — 11
  11. Used only 6 or 8 times over the last few years. It's practically brand new! Comes with a good name brand paddle (Can't think of the name at the moment) and cockpit cover. The identical model is pictured below. $400 for everything! Over $800 invested. Kayak Descption: This kayak is almost identical to the Pungo 120 (best selling kayak) and it feels the same in the water. It tracks great with the slight "V" hull as the Pungo. It is more of a hybrid in that you can use it in lakes for greater ease in paddling, and rivers up to class II rapids. I did catch on some shallow rocks twice on the river, but did not flip! The slight V hull does mean it will give into turning better, on rocks as well with the river current! But I wanted more of a hybrid for the versatility. If you want the same out of your kayak, I would highly recommend this Stingray 12.
  12. I hear ya, but the 1 man isn't wide enough to run two rods.
  13. I have 1 of these for sale. It has two seasons use on it. Covered when not in use. Already spooled up with coated cable. Comes with everything. $850 + Shipping or pick up in Rochester. I'm always somewhere between Niagara and Pulaski on the weekends if you wanted to arrange pick up.

  14. Check out Krenzers! When you get off the boat everything is walking distance! Captain Jacks and Abe's are two great bar/restaurants. Tim @ Krenzers has good mechanics, and great facilities if you spend the weekend.
  15. It's very easy to run your riggers off the Humminbird. If you want to cycle them then having the bird is key, and it's easy to set-up. That's about the only time we use the Humminbird to control our riggers. Otherwise it's easier to just walk back and move them manually.
  16. This was our first fish at the 2013 Wilson Harbor Invitational. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUTRtl_M8hY Here is a small fish from the Summer Tightline event in 2012. Work them riggers and chase the marks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T9V0oezsdA Here was our 29lb King from two years ago @ the Sandy Creek Shootout. 300 Copper fish, so I fast forwarded it a little. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3JfPThSjqk A screamer a few years back that took some line! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U7ZawayIrc
  17. Noting yet, but I want a light/small 2 man. I'm a big guy with a lot of gear. Need more room. I'm thinking of the Nanook and removing a seat. Sent from my Droid Maxx using the Lake Ontario United App.
  18. Don't start with the fuel consumption excuse! I don't know too many guys putting more fuel through their motors than us. So I don;t want to hear it! LOL Run some trips and recoup your expenses up West. Enjoy fishing the bar for the best King bite on the South shore. Bring it down for the month of May like other guys do. Fish the events as they move back East. Not many Salmon to target out of Sodus during May anyway. Yes, the Yankee is in Sodus. Went straight to Great Lakes to get it's annual "up-keep" work, and now I think it's sitting outside it's barn. Headed down next weekend to put in some new toys, do some engine work, and winterize her.
  19. Tim - I'll have to break my Rocket's out! I went to Bay of Quinte last Winter and stopped by Mike's place. He produces all his Rockets in his apartment! I didn't give them much seat time this Summer, but I'd really like to do a side by side comparison between the fake and the real stuff. The real stuff was insane this year, and I bet we went through 50 packs of Familiar Bite. I know we did 8 in one weekends worth of trips (4). When they got on the meat bite hard in August it was a joke how good it produced. It also helped us on our deep rigs during the Niagara County Pro Am to grab some big boys. When it comes to meat rigs guys.....keep it simple. Begin by pretending that the only colors out there are white and green. Find a leader length that works with whatever paddle your running. Sometimes teasers work on your leaders, and other times they want it clean. The Familiar Bite stuff is getting better, but it still only lasts for one fish. I felt the Eerie Deerie held up better a few years ago when we tried it, but the color of the strip was brown and I wasn't impressed by that. They could have changed their product since then, but I haven't looked.
  20. The DT10's also come with the pre-set depth options which is really nice. You can store 5 pre-set depths in the rigger, and once your clipped into your release you loosen the drag on the reel and hit run. You can walk away and do something else while it goes down for you. Also, when running the heavier weights the DT allows you to adjust the speed of the rigger. We slow them down to the 2 or 3 speed when going down with 20lb weights. My other favorite feature is an actual depth readout on the rigger display. Not having to look forward at the FF to see how deep you are is nice. I PM'd you BTW John explained the set-up above with what you'd need.
  21. Absolutely not Wayne. Salmon Slam is a great name, and one that's widely used. We used it first back in 2007 at Wilson during the Niagara Pro Am for an additional event for anyone fishing out of Wilson Harbor. Our Salmon Slam is a new concept/event we want to bring to Lake Ontario this year, and I think anyone fishing the Spring derby up West is going to love this additional event. Oops...did I just leak a little something something there? Here are links to other Salmon Slam events throughout the Great Lakes: http://www.hoosiercohoclub.org/Salmon%20Slam.html http://www.slamnsalmon.com/ http://www.sooeveningnews.com/article/20130827/NEWS/130829521/1001/NEWS We were unaware, or just plain ignorant, that you guys named your new event that name. So, what we are going to do is make a donation to your event from the Wilson Harbor Invitational and Salmon Slam. We think what you guys are doing over in Sodus is a great event for a good cause. We will contact Nick or see him when he's up at Wilson for his Spring trip.
  22. These are two places that were reccomended to me for parts: Marine Parts Source Ebasicpower
