  1. Money needs to be in before the 12th. See ya there!
  2. 1.8-2.2 have been working for us. However, if that's not working slow it down or speed it up.
  3. 4C's has great accommodations, and I know my customers that have stayed there really enjoyed it. The nice thing is that your boat can be slipped right there. Captains Cove has a nice motel that I have had my customers use too.
  4. Top dogs? Not even close! Trust me when I say I wont be there long! We are just having Tim at Krenzers do some work on the ol' lady. My dad was the mechanic! I never worried when he was on board. It's going to be a weird year without him. Tim is also putting in my new electronics. He was able to get a special thru hull transducer custom made for us that wont get damaged or ripped off from our trailer rollers. That was COOL!
  5. I wonder where they get those simulator screen shots from?
  6. Sorry for the delayed report boyz! You know how things in my life are going right now. Anyway, We were the first boat at the ramp, and the first boat in the water on Saturday morning and it was COLD! The mud from the Genesee River was running right down the shore. We motored to Shipbuilders and the water started to clear up, so we started to set lines. I went straight to the bright colored stickbaits. Rappy GFR's on the furthest and closest board lines and a Rebel Fastrak chartreuse with green diamonds between them. I just got done setting the rebel and FISH ON. It was a little BT and we thought that it was going to be a GREAT day! Well, we set the rest of the lines and we waited, and waited, and waited. The fish weren't cooperating and the water was cold. Most of what we found was 39 degrees. After an hour or so of nothing I started changing. I went to chartreuse on the furthest and closest board line and a silver black and orange on the middle. The silver/black too a short strike, and on the troll back West the chartreuse crystal minnow and the Rappy F9 in chartreuse took two more fish. 10 minutes before we picked up the inside Rappy F9 in chartreuse took another fish. Nothing was big (unlike last week). We boated 4 and lost one, and we were off the water by 11:30am. Best water we found was East of shipbuilders hitting 41 degrees. That dirty Genny water is probably why chartreuse was so good. The fish could actually see it. Here are some pics:
  7. Those are some great Atlantics! How did they fight?
  8. Took u long enough to respond! What do you do all day work? [ Post made via Mobile Device ]
  9. 2 (one for each side) $40 for the pair pick up in Rochester or buyer pays shipping. Used one year.
  10. That color looks SICK! Definitely a King Killer! Gonna have to stop buy and pick some up. Did you send them rigged only or are there 4 packs of bodies?
  11. Yeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssss! 6 less Browns for Jerry to catch in the East end Pro-Ams!
  12. We all have this problem in one way or another! I feel your pain Rod! See you in May.
  13. Rod, Nice idea, but I think your going to flatten those flies out. I had some from Tom in small Zip-Locks that ended up flattening. I like to keep mine stored the opposite of how they are run, so they are nice and puffy when i take them out. I think fly bodies are the hardest thing to keep organized and to store. I applaud your idea, but just tossing out what I can see happening. Tom likes to send bodies in rolled up post it notes and that seems to work nicely. You can toss them into a 3700 plano. The only issue there is you can max out each box at 12 colors. That means it would be easy to have 3-5 of these loose 3700 planos floating around. I'd be interested in seeing how your way works out for you. keep us posted.
  14. Yeah, I may be headed that direction this year! Billy seems to love them.
  15. I have updated the Lowrance model #. To everyone who has PM'd me - As I mentioned above I wanted to generate some interest, but I wont have prices until I know I have everything for each unit off the boat. Should be Friday night
  16. Must of missed this message Chris. Yeah, it was with the clear ones only. Not sure why. The bottom plastic piece would crack right in half.
  17. I am not putting prices on these until I get everything (power cables and transducers) off the boat this weekend, and make sure everything is in great shape. Here are the electronics we are selling: (1) - Furuno FCV 582 CRT with a transom mount transducer and power cables. Mount and Manual is also included. SOLD Pending Payment (2) - Eagle Intellimap 500c no GPS receivers are included. Mount and power cables included (1) - Raymarine DS500x with both the transducer and power cable. Mount is also included Unlisted due to the unit not reading the transducer (1) - Lowrance 525c DF Color FF and GPS with power cord and Transom mount transducer. Not sure of the model#. I can get that later tonight. SOLD Pending Payment Just putting these out there for anyone who might be interested. Please PM me if so.
  18. Definitely some pigs out there!
  19. No docks as of today, but there had to be 20-25 boats out.
  20. The mud coming out of the Genesee River made fishing from Irondequoit Bay to Ship Builders Creek almost impossible. We didn't hook up with our first fish till we passed Ship Builders. We tried to keep the boat between 8-11' of water, although later in the day it was bumpy and this became almost impossible. We ran a mix of stickbaits (J7 and J9 Rapalas, Smithwicks, Kabooms, and Matzuo) in both natural and bright colors off the planer boards. We also had two downriggers in the mix pulling a variety of light spoons down 2-5'. Water clarity varied from mud to gin clear, and we had temps from 39 degrees up to 44 degrees. Mostly a Brown Trout bite with a drop back Rainbow Trout and an Atlantic in the mix. Our two best fish happened to be Brown Trout. One was 8 pounds and the other was 9 pounds on the boga. Here are some pictures of our catch:
  21. I heard the same from a buddy who is running them out of Oswego. He is very impressed with them.
  22. Nope......Jax's
  23. Irondequoit most likely.
  24. Your probably right. However, I will have fresh PP on the new riggers. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]
