Yankee Troller

Most of my class upgraded, and my GF said most of hers took it also.

We tried the yacht club and were told if we didn't belong to one on the lake then we weren't allowed there. We were gonna just tie up to the dock at the launch until we found a cottage to dock at on the other side of the bridge.

Make sure you buy 45lb copper since that is what a majority of the anglers are using. I would shy away from the Opti ready-rig stuff as I have seen the backing not be as strong as it should be for the longer coppers, however they may have changed that. A-TOM-MIK copper has been around for a while, and it's tried and true. The Blood Run stuff has been around for a few years and everyone who runs it seems to like it. I have very little exposure to the Opti stuff.

No I think what he is saying is come the first weekend of june(Niagara pro am)...Good Luck!!! LMAO!!!!!

I found one at Mitchells this weekend getting Pike bait and snagged it up! However, that now leaves me with only 3!

Coastal Night Lights - This LED Spreader Light is an excellent addition to any boat with a durable case and extremely low amp draw. The Spreader light is sealed from the environment to resist corrosion of the LED circuits. They are water proof to any spray or rain you can imagine. They emit a very clean and crisp white light. There are no "hot spots" that you tend to see with halogens. We put two of these on our Trojan and it was more than enough, so the third one we bought is not needed. They sell for $85 on their website, so the first $60 will get this and that includes shipping. http://www.coastalnightlights.com/styles-LEDspreaders.html

We should do a cookout on Friday night at the marina.

Scott and gang......what are you doing about the mosquito problem? [ Post made via Android ]

Sweet! Can't wait! This was a great event last season until I hit a branch a 1/2 mile from the Oak's front door on the way back. Must of been payback for catching that Laker.

Thru hull all the way. Since you can trailer your ride look at the B60 (Brass) or SS60(Stainless Steel) Airmar.

Immediately go to a video phone with your crew and your passports.

If he wants a cheap copper combo give him the coordinates of your 600....lol [ Post made via Android ]

I know all about it, and its one reason why we aren't there now. I know the chit u took for creating this very site! [ Post made via Android ]

That's really sad!

Great news! Now, I need Sea Sick Mags!!!!!

I've heard some too and im not thrilled with them at all. Oh, and as one of the teams that fishes the most tournaments on lake o i thought my opinion would have been asked. Thet arent a definite so i hear, but it doesnt look like they are going to ask many of thier supporters. [ Post made via Android ]

LOL....right

I use a floro leader ALL the time on my rigger rods. We run McCoy Mean Green Mono and their floro. It's great stuff, but not cheap! There are a ton of great floros out there. Gamma had a good one, Seguar is great as well as Andy, and Berkley 100% floro. Just don't use the Berkley Vanish! We run 15lb leaders when running spoons and 20lb leaders when running paddles. On our rigger rods I bring the leader knot to right above the levelwind and then cut the line at the hook keeper. Reason I do this is because it gives you a 15' leader give or take a foot, and when the fleas do show up the gob of fleas that find the knot wont give you trouble trying to reel it through the levelwind when fighting a fish. Hope that helps.

We weren't at the Genny till late September well after the derby. There are 4 or 5 10 Meter Trojans out of the River you may have confused us with.

XT and XL are both mono from Berkley. They should work just fine. A lot of guys will have their opinion about their favorite fishing line. On the Finger lakes the water is very clear, so a Floro leader might be a must have. You can attach that with a blood knot or a uni to uni knot. You don't have to replace line EVERY year, but most guys will.

That's weird....it should be working. We put the copper in the Scotty release about a foot down from the knot, but that's because we don't have that mono in between. We are re-spooling all out coppers this Winter, and that is one thing we are going! When we set the line into the Scotty release we put it in so it sits near that black line. No twisting or rubber bands. The scotty has two settings. You might have to put it on the heavier setting for the 600.

The last few seasons we ran the Accudepth 27LC's matched with the 8' ML Accudepth rods. Not a bad combo. The rods were not the best craftsmanship, but the reels were great, and doubled for short core set-ups when the Coho/Steelie bite was high. I think you will be fine with the Accudepth reels, and unless you are going to use them for multiple applications the 47's might be over kill for Spring BT.
