  1. If anyone has a set of planer reels laying around I might be interested if the price is right.
  2. They are nice when you are running different sections of core or snap weights. For Brown Trout fishing we're seeing more tangles than we'd like. Gonna try to tweak some things this week to try to avoid tangles. FOr snap weights I love them.
  3. I prefer the Genesee launch, but both will get the job done. The Irondequoit launch dock is filled with bird ****, and you have to pull your top down to go under the bridge.
  4. The question for today was.....Where'd the big ones go!?!?!? Fished Rochester today. Good water came and went. Action wasn't lacking, but size was. Today's program consisted of Bay Rat Lures Short Shallow and S3 run 75' behind Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 inline boards. Best colors were My Secret, Emerald Shiner, Ayu, Coho Crusher, and BT Candy. Our Cannon Downriggers and Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers were pulling Team Dreamweaver Super Slim spoons in Crazy ****, Coyote, Caramel Dolphin, and Glow Frog.

  5. Today started with plan A and plan B being a bust. It was too rough to run over from the Genesee River, and there wasn't enough water in the bay to fish. We snuck out onto the lake and had a half mile stretch that was "fishable." In an hour and a half we took 8 Brown Trout. Most of them were very nice fish too! Behind our Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 in-line planer boards we ran Bay Rat Lures S3 sand Short Shallow sticks. Coho Crusher and My Secret being the studs! Behind the Fishing - Chinook Diver-Stainless Steel Troll Fishing Divers we ran Team Dreamweaver Super Slims in Crazy **** and Chilly Willy. All fish were returned to fight another day!
  6. No problem. Wish we had more time to get into the rest of our stuff.
  7. It felt great to get out yesterday. Fishing was good, and water color was perfect. Rob from Legacy Sportfishing and Casey from Dirty Goose Sportfishing joined my brother and I on our new to us 21' Lund. Here was our program: 70-90' behind Offshore OR12 in-line boards we ran Bay Rat Lures in black/silver, Ayu, Yankee Troller, Ridin' Dirty, Black Flash, and Firetiger. #2 Chinook Divers set back 5-10' pulling Team Dreamweaver Super Slims in Glow Frog, Crazy ****, and Chilly Willy. Cannon Downriggers down 5' back 30-40 pulling Team Dreamweaver Super Slims mentioned above.
  8. Original Poster.....It's not news that I am a Cannon representative for Lake Ontario. One of your concerns was about Cannon warranty/customer service. I had to call them yesterday to get some parts for a swivel base I messed up. It was easy, quick, and they actually had to school me on how the part I needed worked. I was VERY impressed. I have run one on my boat at times to see the difference between my DT10's and the Mag10STX. They are a solid rigger. Less than 1% of them come back for warranty repairs.
  9. This is tomorrow. You can register in the morning if you haven't already. Cost - $60 and includes lunch, goody bag, and raffle Location - The Firemen's Field Pavilion at 3666 Latta Rd Rochester, NY 14612 When - February 17th doors open at 8:00am and seminar begins at 9:00am
  10. #6 is what I run on my sticks. If those are suspending jerks you may have to play with different hooks to get them to suspend correctly.
  11. Bass Pro does not carry Bay Rat Lures. Cabela's does. Most shops around Lake Ontario and Lake Erie sell them. If you want to shop at FishUSA you can use my coupon code to save 10%.
  12. Expenses get split evenly among teammates. In the event you win money split the winnings evenly among teammates with the boat acting as a share. IF you win over $600 you will most likely get 1099'd from the tournament entity. What I do is give everyone their share, and at the same time issue them a 1099 for that amount. This lowers your taxable income and lets everyone share the tax burden equally (although the captain will pay on two shares). My advice to the captain is to discuss this prior to practice with them team so everyone is on the same page.
  13. Bay Rat Lures are 100% made in the USA. Quality is top notch, and you can get a wide array of colors. If they don't make a color you want you can order it. They are located right in Erie, PA, and they are fisherman. I run their Short Shallow and S3 for Spring Brown Trout. Short Shallow will run to 8' on a troll, and the S3 will dive to 4'.
  14. I'd like to thank everyone who attended. Wish we could have gotten through everything we had. Also, thank you for being patient with the snafu from our Canadian friend.
