  1. Nice picture Les............thanks for sharing !!!
  2. Give Iron Duke a yell or lakebound88 I think both those guys may beable to help you out.....
  3. WTG..... landlocks have been hard for me the past two years... thanks for info for a tackle junky now I need a fix...LOL
  4. Andy also some days are just like that........one other thing to do is leave the rod in the holder and REEL like heck to get a bend in the rod ASAP.....
  5. Hook file , if you been getting them on the smae spoon a couple of passes with the file will work wonders...... the lead deal is dead on but some time you have to run long ones...... I've seen a landlock jumping behind the boat my leads were in the 75' to 100' range and could not tell which rod it was one because he ran at the boat....... anyway so far this year on the east side it's been a bit murky 35' to 45' been ok I had it shorter one day but water was to clear so I dropped them back......just eyeball it Andy...........I have LOTS of misses on lead core......
  6. Well now after all the run around the check will be in the mail covering cost + shipping charges............
  7. I replied to there e-mail told them what I thought and would be post this ( as I have ) on the 6 fishing sites I belong to...............called me at home .........I was at the lake.........home now and they called told me sorry but it broke so no claim....... told them it broke because it got to tight and it was the only way to get it off.............don't care what you do already order parts.............I hung up..................they called back .....long story short the word BROKE is what red-flagged the claim............asked me to send copy of the order I sent in ( I did ) and the will reinburse me ( we see )..................anywho the riggers are GREAT fast and work well just the new bases suck !!!!!
  8. I have bases Mike but they changed them to a NEW POS design , if I can tap the broken bolt out I can jerry-rig it to work till the parts show up if not I'll remove the base and replace with the old style mag 10 and put one of my spares on..........Thanks a ton thinking about helping makes me feel guilty doing all this fishing while you have to work man............... OK I'm over it .....
  9. On May 8 2012 I bought 2 Mag 10 STX downrigger and also got the 3 Year Extended Warranty thru : www.cpscentral.com ( 1-800-905-0443) ....after fishing today I was going to cover boat with the bad weather coming and go home...............tacking off the first rigger no problem , second one was stuck , then just kept turning nothing happening , could see the plastic knob turn but the shaft with the bolt was not.....gessshhh...... and steering with the auto pilot is like it was last fall before I replaced the steering cable but lets not go there now........... so long story short to get it off I broke the knob and the bolt broke off inside the down rigger....what a cheesy set up had OLD mag 10s and 10a for year and NEVER had this issue..............any way went online to chat with these folk and some place along the line he didn't get back to me........then called the 800 # gave ALL the info again talked a bit to this lady she told me to hold and would get someone that knew about these............start over with the info get thru to this guy that had NO IDEA what a downrigger was ............ then he want a HARD copy of my recite I said " dude that's what I did when I put all the info on your site besides I bought it online...........OK............set my claim up............just a while ago got a e-mail back it NOT covered .............. I contacted Cannon after that we'll see what they do..........then got thinking how long will this take and with the cheesy way it made it will happen again.........so I went out to fish307 and order 2 sets of parts one to fix it now and one for later when the other one ****s to bed.................OK have a good day everyone I off the soap box.......gggeeessshhh.....wish I had the BIG words like someone else on here............
  10. Seneca 6/12/2013 Up at 5:30 but just could not get in gear this morning had three rods in the water at 6:30 am . First fish to hit just wiggled the rod tip nothing home just thinking about changing lures out and the 27’ rigger acts like a limb or plastic bag is hung up on the cable then the rod pops ???? Just heavy so now I think it was on the line , then it’s fin breaks the surface sees the boat and now I’m along for the ride reels screaming OH-BOY !!!!!! I eyeball Kingerboy and he’s looking the other way…….. Finally get him in the net hooked bad bleeding like a stuck laker…….. 24.5†brown 8.5 or better on the bogo grip……..get squared away and run back thru nothing but on the return trip same rigger 16†or so laker I lose at the boat….. start putting back down and the 21’ rigger goes off with a 18†brown…….. getting ready to run back thru and check the 27’ rigger and DUH it was at 17’ ………wonder how that happen…Kingerboy is giving me that Mutly laugh….. anywho ….. lost a salmon on the 21’ rigger…… pulled a Dave M. (sodbuster) on the dead middle rigger was only picking fish up on the north troll so I dropped it down on the south troll and popped it free when I went over a baitpod jigging reeling it back to the boat….bam 19†brown…………. Picked a 17†bow up later got it back in the water after a quick tape check pretty skinny…….. It was a fun time out there I had taped up 4 spoons and three of them took fish one hooked up three time….. big brown was on a store bought spoon ….can’t have it all I guess LOL/././………………….

Thanks Mike...... see the big differnce in the color with a hammer blank and a smoth blank...... that's the one that was working so great last year......didn't get it wet yet this year was afraid of losing it before Bobby could make some more for me...... Just kidding before would have liked to BS with you some.....
  12. Well with all the rain coming down I figured I'd make a run over to HILLSVALLEY and take a look around.........called over to see if Iron Duke was working , they said he would start at 3. So I hurried up and got over there and was back here before 3.......
  13. I wimped the other day , same deal I had the boat covered didn't want to get her all wet on the inside........wimping some today looking at one more rain cloud to pass then I hope to get Kingerboy in gear and head out...........
  14. They are open to try new water , that's why I posted what they want to target..... been fishing Lake George and Lake C. , I told him if got in the middle of Seneca and Cayuga some place they could hit them and be a hour + travel to other lakes in the area....what do you think ???
