    15lb Torpedo or Shark weights are what we use 85% of the time. We will sometimes run 20lb sharks.

    This stream/lake thing needs to stop. We have one hell of a fishery on both sides. If we could team up together and combat this "salmon season" that happens September/October in the tribs with more law enforcement and indictments we'd all win. I know there are a lot of small businesses, especially up East, that thrive on these two months of business. However, the truth is they are just grabbing money and allowing/encouraging unethical behaviors.

    The sheriff COULD HAVE put his boat on plane and left a very small wake, but instead he "half planed" it the whole way out the channel causing a much bigger wake. I watched this and just shook my head.

    Krenzer Marine on Sodus Point can accommodate you.

    I think (and this is merely my opinion) we are still recovering from the Vitamin B deficiency die off we saw a few years back. A lot of big fish died that fall/winter. However, if you want a shot at one go fish off the North Shore. A majority of our Steelbow hang out over there in the Summer.

    It's not cheap and I think that company requires a dealer to install. My buddies are happy with the product.

    I know Krenzer marine installs PlasDek. That brand a few of my buddies have used.

    They're a great diver. We run the #2 a lot in the Spring for BT.

    I appreciate the plug. Sounds as if he wants Sodus, but genEus if you change your mind and want to come West I have some weekdays available.

    No Problem! Happy to help. I run shorter leaders than what you described. Usually, 5-6' leaders. I clear the counter with the diver a foot from the tip of the rod. Then run them 10' out in 10' of water. Or 5' out in 5' of water. I match the line out to depth of water I'm in. They get a 2:1 dive curve out that short.

    Jordan Harbor to Grimsby is loaded if you're mobile.

    FishUSA is almost a local place, but they run sales EVERY day! It's addicting going to their website every morning to see what is going to be on special.

    Awesome!

    I think a lot of people mistaken Gizzard Shad for Alewife. If you're catching these Browns around bays, ponds, or rivers they are probably Gizzard Shad this time of year. I had a Brown Trout puke up a Smelt this weekend and a Goby. You can go to the Tweets page to see the pic. Most of their diet right now is Gizzard Shad and Goby though from what I've been seeing.

    I run 9" form the knot to the front hole, and 11" from the knot to the back hole. If you're pulling big coppers these two tricks can help. Drill a hole 3/4" -1" under the original holes where the rope goes into the board. Add another keel with a half weight.

    37 degrees, so this was totally unexpected.

    Days don't get much better than today when you're Brown Trout fishing on Lake Ontario! Many Browns came to the net today, and we went 1/2 on King Salmon. We took our biggest Brown Trout of the season today at 12.5lbs and the Salmon we landed was 15lbs. These guys from West Virginia were floored by the fishery they were shown today! Once we had our share of Brown Trout in 10' of water we slid out to 15-30' of water and found a bigger class of Brown Trout. That was cool enough for me, but when we hooked two Salmon in that water we weren't leaving it! Today's program was Bay Rat Lures Short Shallows back 100' in Can't Afford It, My Secret, BT Candy, Ayu, Yankee Troller, Citric Shad, and Ridin Dirty. Our Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers were going out 10-20' back with Mulloto, Yellow Tail, Glow Frog, and Green Shorts. Our Cannon downriggers took both King bites down 20-25' fishing a Sea Sick Waddler and a Green Shorts spoon fished 50' back.

    The Genesee Charter Boat Association is responsible for the Salmon/Steelhead pen project in Rochester. The fish are currently in the pens and we are in need of people to help feed them. We have weekdays covered for the most part, but we are in need of weekend volunteers. If you can help please contact Randy Calus @ 585-739-0569

    I don't see the problem here? This is a bad thing?

    We took 2 steelbow on that day.
