Mine was pretty beat up too, and it worked down to the 150 depths without any problems.

ABSOLUTLEY NOT! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS! THATS MY BABY!

I am by no means an expert on the raising of fish, but why put all your eggs into one basket? What if something were to go wrong and the whole pen/s got wiped out? It's like putting your life savings into a single companies stock. Too risky in my opinion. Great point Steve, and this was the concern on teh DEC too, but the track record that we have had is the best on the lake per the DEC biologist. We feel we want to make sure our salmon have the best start and survial rate this year with the lack of fish available.

Also, this problem was seen across the great lakes with collection and survival rate. Runs were late everywhere! They wont bring in eggs from other lakes or the West becasue of the worry about bringing in other diseases like VHS. The state of the lake is a month away and if you can make it there will be this info and a lot more, and you can answer questions.

You got it all wrong or I may have wrote it wrong Gambler........that was 15% lower than the shortage they already predicted. So, say if they predicted us to get 65% of our normal stocking becasue of the egg shortage......now we are getting 50%. To answer your other question about stocking more of other species and that answer is no. I asked that question. On another BAD note the coho stocking program will fare worse than the chinook program due to a worse collection and even worse survival rate.

Here is an e-mail I received: Since our stakeholders meeting last December, we have experienced some additional mortality of chinook salmon at the Salmon River Fish Hatchery. We now anticipate about 850,000 fish will be available for stocking in spring 2008 which is about 15% less than our projection (this wasnt normal stocking numbers due to the lack of eggs). We expect to allocate the fish in approximately the same ratio that we had discussed earlier. The additional mortality occurred between the eyed egg stage (called eye up by biologist) and hatch, which is another indication that last fall's warmer temperatures and subsequent stress simply left the fish in relatively poor condition. Ontario also experienced additional mortality in their chinook as well. Fortunately, the fish are now doing very well, and barring any unforseen diseases, we should be in good shape through the spring. We will provide specific details for each stocking when we get closer to the stocking date. OK, so here is what I know...The Salmon river is going to get 100% of what they always get. The rest of the salmon will be pro-rated to each of the other stocking locations. The Genesee Charter Boat Association, the organization that puts on the pen rearing in Rochester, has decided to raise the entire allotment of Kings in the pens this year. Usually there is a split between DEC regular stocking and pen rearing. These meeting are help the first Tuesday of each month at the Irondequoit Fish and Game club. Anyone can join (you dont have to be a captain).

TTT......Come on fellas ya gotta know someone in the market! Help a brother get a new ride!

25lb McCoy Mean Green! Hands Down! I have used them all and this stuff is by far the strongest most abrasion resistant mono on the market. Not to mention it wont collect fleas. I use this for my downrigger rods for kings. For brown trout rods i run the same stuff just a smaller diameter like 8lb test.

You cant go wrong with either Scotty's or Cannons. Both have great reputations. I have ran both and I think if I were to buy again I would stick with the Scotty's. There are some great features on them and if you talk to any repair shop in the area they get less Scotty's in for repair.

No problem! It is up for sale, but the boat i thought I wanted isn't what I expected.

Check out my lodging section on my website. There are all the local lodging areas for Wilson up there, and one for the river if I remember correctly.

Jax, That one is in May. You need to contact Warren Welch, who is running it. I found out they are looking to add a few boats this year. Capt. Warren Welch (585) 586-2499 [email protected]

$50 for the pair. They work great! At the least they could use a touch up paint job.

To make a long story short I held these for the gentleman that messaged me. They werent for him and the guy he thought "might" want them wasnt at our meeting. If you want these still they are still available.

What r u gonna do? Next time Im gonna pull some of my own tricks out of the bag. I was stubborn in sticking with the drop shot.

Ditto!

How come I dont ever get a phone call asking if I wanna go fish the Niagara?

I was on your page, but dont seem to remember the video.....I will check tonight! Ray Ray! MySpace is fun! Your right though it is geared towards a younger generation, but there are pleanty of people in your age bracket on there. I think the site gets a bad rap, but i think its fun. It is basically a display of who and what you are. I use it for free advertising, and to getting in touch with old friends that have moved away.

Fished for about 4 hours with only a few jack perch. The smallies were on the camera again, but we couldnt turn one. I am going to make it my mission to learn how to catch these things in the middle of winter! They have to eat sometime.

Yes, Dave has the info but he has to post ads on the boats for sale section of his site. AS for what I am looking for or at.......I have one particular boat in mind, but ya never know. Just want to go a little bigger is all. AND NO ITS NOT A TROJAN! Im not following that suit! LOL

Price is negotiable! We have out grown this boat and we have some larger ones in our eyesight. This is a great fishing boat and a wonderful family boat. The price is negotiable depending on what equipment you want. The price listed will be for the boat as it sits ready to fish Lake Ontario! Boat amenities: Full enclosed head with shower Stove Refrigerator Sink with hot water heater Sleeps 4 singles or 3 couples C shaped dinette Dual commands Dual batteries w/ perko switch Battery charger Shore power Maserator Swim platform with ladder Trim tabs Fishing equipment: Furuno 582 w/CRT screen and dual freq. transducer 2 - Lowrance globalmap 3200 Raymarine DSX500 w/ dual freq. transducer Depth raider 3 - Scotty Pro Packs 1116 Big John Planner reels All the rod holders you would ever need VHF radio at both commands As you will see she comes on a shorelander trailer, which is in a great condition.

This was a problem when they first came out, but I am almost positive they fixed it. I cant remember mine getting fogged up and it stays on the fly bridge all year long.
