Yankee Troller

I just had a buddy go with Table Mountain Outtfitters. He went for Pronghorn and Mulies, and got two that made the books! He said they run a 1st class operation! You see them on hunting shows running around with some of the big guns in the sport. They do Elk hunts, which is my buddies next adventure with them. Also, check with Phil Race from Indian Mountain Archery if your in the Rochester area. He spends a lot of money on hunts every year and he could definitely put you in touch with the right personnel.

Sweet job! I had the opportunity to do some trips this year with kids and they definitely enjoyed the heck out of it. We take for granted some of these fish out there, but for them its the greatest thing in the world and they don't stop talking about it. Good thing for you is now your boys are hooked! This means the balls in your court. So when the wife says you cant go you gotta play the "kids wanna go fishing" card.

DW has a fatter bottom to the spoon and the one in the pic doesnt look like a DW....either way it is a good color.

I hear it has gotten bad with the garbage. I try to stay away from there since there isn't much room. That is sad though. Your the second person who stated this to me this week.

I might give it a try tonight. Depends on weather and how lazy I am. Its tough to talk myself into walking out there for a few strikes.

Nice job Anthony! That is a blue dolphin, but it looks to me like a NK 28 from the honeycomb pattern. I have been wrong before though. Another great pattern with tat spoon is an orange ladderback instead of the glow tape. That is called a coyote and a very HOT spoon for me.

Gene, I didn't see this post. The person who you've been talkin to holds the NYS Federation heaviest 5 bass sack from Lake Erie, so he knows his stuff. Anyway, I would have given you a couple of GPS coordinates if I did read this earlier. It should be that hard to catch fish there this time of year, but its a HUGE body of water and it can be tough to locate some good schools.

All the good lakes are out of your range. Out west is Chautauqua, and its SLAMMIN for big fish. Most all the Finger lakes have their good days and bad days, but Honeoye and Conesus are the more popular lakes. They are smaller so you don't have to worry about weather and wind.

Fish are worse than women! If your gonna be offshore running them late summer without rattles is fine, but if your combat trolling in muddy or stained river water I would go with the rattles. JMHO

Maybe

I run a few different style weights. When fishing 75' or above I'm running Ridgeback Rattlers in a 13lb weight. These have a cool cross drilled hole pattern to let water through and crate bubbles. When I go below that its 15lb sharks. I don't know of any other weights that track as good as a shark down deep, or else Id have them.

I have the 582 and its a great unit. It was around for quit some time. A lot of boats wee equipped with this unit. I am having interference problems with mine right now. I'm trying to fix that. However, I know of other guys with the same unit that can mark a penny if flipped over the side of the boat and I can vouch for witnessing this. It all depends on the set-up of the boat your on. On to my next point.....that 113hd is a SWEET unit! I love those large screen Lowrance units.

One of mine took 500 pics in the last month and a half and it had 30% battery life. All pics were high res.

These were taken in Cameron, NY down near Bath, NY.

Now thats an awesome buck!

Um..yeah! Im not a trophy hunter yet!

What could this be?????? Coon or Bear?

We did our fair share of them out of Wilson this spring. Maybe not the numbers we did last year, but they were there. After that I didn't see much of them. In talking with a few guys they seemed to of experienced the same thing.

If you wan them to gain weight while sitting in the cooler come on my boat! And NO I don't put anything down their throat!

A buddy of mine had a Rochester Bass tourney last weekend. They were smoking big smallies. First place went to a bag of Largemouth on both days, but 2nd-5th were all smallie bags in the 15-17lb range. All of them fished west of Sodus. Drop-shot and deep diving jerkbaits were key.

Coming! Thanks for reminding me! The next time I update it....which should be the next few days....Ill get you your props! Sorry Buddy!

That's the sweat Pea....but the one I was using was the glow sweet pea. Im outta wigglers for the year! They were AWESOME behind a Kelly Green Spinny.

This was when me and my bro were very young! So we didnt take up too much room.

We had a 21' Penn Yan with the same motor. We would fish 6 guys out of there at times and there was plenty of power.

Yup
