  4. Can a moderator combine this post with the one in the Tournament forum? I think this thread needs to be in one place for both the fisherman and for Dave to view.
  5. February 5th, 2012 we smoked them on the Lake, so I would imagine if you wanted to get out there you could get them.
  6. I'll attest to that. They did a Penn 345 for us this Summer (Bad Pawl and Worm Gear). They also do a lot of Tekota drag upgrades with Tuna Toms Dragmasters.
  7. All I'm saying is I don't care if we place 45th this year as long as Jason is 46th or worse!
  8. I agree with you Brian, but I also heard it was due to the lack of LT stockings in recent years. I think we lost all of our LTs for this upcoming year from a storm last year in VT? I think his intentions were to protect the species, although if that was the case he'd get rid of the Spring and summer too. I know Jim Piano is loving these rumors!
  9. Let's be honest....is there even a committee right now? What would be wise is to take two Pro Captains and two Amateur Captains, maybe one of each from the West and East, to head up a revitalized Pro/Am Committee! If no one is moving forward on the current series, and we all want to fish this style of event, lets just do it! Are you volunteering Rick? I don't have a problem helping! I help with the pen project in Rochester, I help with the WHI, so why not the Pro Ams! However, if they want to be narrow minded and not listen to the people or the committee members then whats the point?
  10. First off Dan this isn't Lake Erie United! LOL When we had the actual depth on our Intelli-Troll it was a nice tool. Sometimes, you were blown away by the difference. Other times it was minimal. Lots of currents in Lady O, so another useful tool in your toolbox can't hurt.
  11. Sportsman license can keep 2 and conservation license holders can keep 1. - http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/stdprodconsume ... 101636.pdf

  13. You know where we'll be in February!

  15. Is that right motoman?????? I take it your fishing with Bob Buck???
  16. I like the 2 day format also. There are enough 1 day shootouts. However, No Communication is a must, and I'd rather see Salmon only.
  17. When you go from the 10 to the 5 you lose the depth pre sets, and the ability to see your actual depth on the rigger if your using the cannonlink. There was more like displaying probe data, but that's gone now. There may be a few other differences, but those come to mind. [ Post made via Android ]
  18. Last I heard they didn't have the time to put towards it Greg. Unless it goes back to the old format it's a dead event, and even that might not help. What's proving itself are the shootout/Salmon only events. If someone would step up in Oswego, Warren's obviously is stepping up in Sodus, and we combine those with the Wilson Harbor Invitational we could have a series right there. Then the Pro Ams could just go away. Let's be honest here. No one wants to fish for Trout in these events. Imagine Sodus being Salmon only. How many boats might make the trip offshore to look for those Kings coming down the Lake? It turns it into a whole new event.
  19. I think Tom and Warren's should piggy back off each other for an East end series. Tom can grab the dates from the old Oswego Pro Am, and Warrens can take the dates from Sodus.
  20. Good for you! At least someone is stepping up to the plate. [ Post made via Android ]
  21. The retrieve rate on the 30s will blow you away. I hear ya about doubling as a Seth Green rig, but honestly the 40 is overkill for divers. We've run them for 4 seasons now. We sold our downrigger and wire combos to get new ones (we like to cycle through our gear every few years). I hear the complaints about the line counter, and for some its very uncomfortable, but how I hold the rod it lays right in the crease of my wrist. I had some buddies bring Tekota's on board when we went to Canada, and the slow retrieve drove me crazy! So, I stuck to my side where the Saltist were positioned. Once you get used to the speed you wont go back!
