  1. I know...that's why we use it.
  2. Slippery Sinker usually carries it. 200 or 250lb Power Pro
  3. Thanks guys. I thought about braid Brian, but the small diameter would cost me a ton spooling up that many wires.
  4. For the guys who do use a backing on their wire reels are you using Mono or Dacron? I'm re-spooling up all our wires and I'd like to take advantage of the full retrieve rate as well as an accurate line counter. Both of which you lose just putting your 1000' of wire on the reel and leaving 1/3 of the spool empty. Not that it's a huge deal, but just something I want to do. Bulk Dacron is hard to find and/or expensive. I can get by with Mono much cheaper.
  5. I'm asking that no one bother me right now. I'm watching Finding Bigfoot, and it sounds like they may find one on this episode.....

  6. Most Pro teams I know do pay their observers. Although, if you can get one for free all the more better. We pay $75/day for 2 day events, and $100 during shootout events.
  7. Re-setting the bow rail, adding 2 more bilge pumps, possibly more lights, and upkeep on the teak are all in the works on the Yank. She will see the light of day next Monday.

  8. Don't make it harder than it needs to be. Start off with 150/140/130 and just keep shortening them by 10' each time you get a release. When you get to 60 or 70' clear the side and start again. I buy sticks in 3's. If a stick gets hot you load up a side. So, in your scenario if that stick is hot load it up and then you'll have one at each position (inside/middle/outside) Listen to Gambler about the PP too.
  9. Who was the DJ when we were younger at Club Snappers, and the Shore Club? Was it DJ Miami, and does anyone still have his mixes?

  10. We run the DT10s. Yes we do use it on occasion, but not enough to warrant buying a rigger that does it. You can do it manually if you want to save a few bucks. However, bottom tracking, short stop with braided lines, and a programming depths to send your lure to is great on them.
  11. Either will work. I don't think you'll get much use out of the side scan on Lake O, but if it's a lund and if you are using it for multi-species the side imaging might come in handy for Bass or Walleye.
  12. Use the clippers mentioned above! You can adjust them enough to use for anything. Even your coppers if you have some. One release will do it all. Not saying there isn't better out there, but to get you rolling they will work.
  13. Stop by a tourney and check out all of the models mentioned above. You will get supporters of each brand on here for one reason or another. WHht matters is what YOU like. We run Cannons, and I can get you on a boat with the exact model you are looking at if you want to play with them. Tall Tails has the new Scotty's, and for Big Johns they haven't changed much other than a newer motor than our used to. Decide what looks better to you and roll with it. They all work great, and they all go up and down.
  14. You can imitate The Garbage Plate but Nick Tahoes is still the best.

  15. Sitting at work after beating up on some Lake O fish this weekend sure bites the big one!

  16. Your gonna have to stop down to the boat this Summer! Probably wont be there until late June.
  17. Yea, there is still a lot of sheet ice in Irondequoit. The Genny, Sandy, and the Oak should be fine.
  18. Anyone know a good place for embroidering in the ROC?

  19. That's great! No better way to scratch an itch than Spring BT.
  20. 3/10-3/11 Lake Ontario Well, with the nice weather we took advantage of owning a smaller aluminum boat and got out on the Lake for some early season Brown Trout fishing. Most of the Brown Trout this time of year are in the 3-7lb range, but if you find the right water the numbers can be astounding. Each day we took a TANK! On Saturday the official weight was just under 15lbs (second picture), and on Sunday the biggest fish pushed 12lbs (first picture). Sundays fish had to be one of the more picture perfect Brown Trout I have ever caught. The colors and the markings on that fish were just amazing. We fished the shoreline and found a pocket of water, which we worked hard. Our best colors were naturals. The Rapala F11 Yellow Perch might have been the MVP, but a Storm Thin Fin in the Crappie color was a steady producer on Sunday. F9 Black and Gold Rapala’s were also very good. Our leads ranged from 100-150’ back behind our Otter Boats.
