Glad the guy made it. Too bad he didn't pay attention to the sections on safety & landing a fish in this article. http://www.lakeontariounited.com/blog/a ... oloist.php Tom B. (LongLine)

Mr Benson was pregnant??????? Only in Britian, i guess.... Tom B. (LongLine)

Thanx Yank Tom B. (LongLine)

GB - That's the purpose of the fin clipping that the DEC has been doing. I.E. To get a handle on the degreee of Natural Repo. I'm afraid we're going to have to wait until they have more data. What is known is that since it was discovered on the SR, there have been some good yrs for Nat Repro & some bad. We all want to know for sure. Tom B. (LongLine)

WTG Lady B. I like the way you say "nothing over 25 Lbs." (There are guys that would kill for a 20 Lb'r) Tom B. (LongLine)

Ak-1 Take it to Hank. You're not that far from him & you'll be glad you did. Lot of good info on Iboats, as rolmops said. Can buy a lot of parts there too. Tom B. (LongLine)

Tell them REELJERKS sent you. (worked for me at a couple places) Tom B. (LongLine)

I ran 15 Lb this last Saturday & had an issue only once. But I pull & check them every 20 minutes. Tom B. (LongLine)

Do an internet search for tackle or lure making supplies. Places like jannsnetcraft have online catalogs. Just browse the catalog & if you don't like the prices then just do searches with the name of the brand or item that interests you. Tom B. (LongLine)

Nice fish. He'll remember that one for a long time. Tom B. (LongLine)

I run mine in auto mode. Sometimes I run the dual freq, sometimes not. Depends on depth & what I'm seeing. Jack - Speed is not accurate nor is odometer at slow speeds. This is due to the drag of the boat at slow speed. Watch the water line at your transom. I'm sure you'll see it swirling towards the transom. Sometimes you'll see seaweed or small sticks stuck in that swirl & "hitch-hiking" a ride with you. Tom B. (LongLine)

WTG Stan. I don't think I've ever had a King jump. Swirl yes, jump no. They generally go for the bottom on me. What kind of down temp does Shasta have? Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome to the site. Wind direction all depends upon where you're going to fish. A west wind gets the east end of the lake rolling. South wind is great all along the south shore. At the Genny, directly out of the N or NE can be a killer yet S, W & E usually not that bad till you get past 120 FOW. Keep an eye on the weather sites, especially those with wave heights. Good Luck.

Take your cable with you & try Radio shack. Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome LP. You'll get back just as much as put into it & then some. Tom B. (LongLine)

Thanx guys. Yup, It's an Atlantic. Tom B. (LongLine)

I'm often out on the water well before the sun comes up. My stern light is quite bright & lights up the stern. Everything has a place & is kept in its place. I have the world's largest tacklebox (mostly for my spoons) that is the size of a small engine/dog house. It’s also in the stern & ALWAYS closed & latched unless I’m getting a lure out. Here it is before I cleaned it out & restocked: I don't worry about alcohol/drugs on my boat because they're not there. I worry about the other boat. Be especially alert at night as someone may be out there without proper running lights. You also have to realize that if you're fishing around the pierheads that any boat approaching the harbor will have a tough time seeing your lights due to all the lights along the shore. As for lures, I like the dark lures w/white cups more than the silvers or gold’s. Also that early, I generally fish in the upper portion of the water column with a fairly long lead. Tom B.

Welcome to the site Chris. Let us know what's happening around B-Bay. Tom B. (LongLine)

Hans - Saw a nice Grady White out there. Wondered if it was you. Thought I heard a shout. Oh well next time. Tom B. (LongLine)

LongLine Report Date(s): 8-8-09 Location: Genny At the launch by 5. Nice South wind & clear sky with a bright moon. Putted straight out to 95 FOW then stayed over this for about an hour & 1/2. (heck of a lot of bait. FF picked it up at 82 over 100 – This screen stretched E-W for a good 10 minutes) After the sun came up: (Don’t know who you are but nice rig) Ran into this guy down 75 over 115FOW (8 ½ Lbs, DW SS Bloody Death) Worked the 115-140FOW area N-S Troll & picked up two small Kings. 1 shaker (Clipped & clean) other about 7 Lb. Same lure same depth. Had one screamer that decided to take that lure to Canada. (Good thing I got a bunch of them.) Ventured out to 170FOW but didn’t see anything on the screen. Came back in & had two more releases but no one home. Guess 3 out of 6 isn’t too bad. Maybe 8-10 boats in the area, but then most moved out. Temp change down at 85-90 FT. South wind moving the cold water in. Pull up at 11:00. Guy at the ramp said he released a 26 Lb’r. All in all, great morning to be on the water Why do the rag boats have to set up their race course right in front of the River? Tom B. (LongLine)

Here’s the deal: Take & post a decent side-shot picture of my boat - the “LongLine†on Saturday 8/8/09, fishing on Big-O and I’ll send the first successful photographer this: And the second, this: The rules: 1. I’ll be launching at the Genny & fishing the morning. (Good Lord willing) Not sure if I’ll have a crew with me or not. Not sure if I’ll head east towards Shipbuilders, west towards Braddock’s or straight out. 2. Boat must be individual & recognizable. (I.e. not 1 of 25, or “way out on the horizonâ€) 3. No Photoshop allowed. 4. Pic’s must be posted by 8:30 PM 8/8/09. 5. Don’t come within 150 ft of me. (spud gun range) Tom B. (LongLine) p.s I’m not telling you what my boat looks like. If you know – Please don’t tell.

WTG William., a 16 inch'r is a nice bucketmouth. Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome to the board. Nice fish. Possibly a rainbow. Next time check mouth. White mouth equals trout. Dark mouth equals salmon. Black mouth equals King Salmon. "Down speed" is speed at the downrigger ball. (Measured with a probe) Tom B. (LongLine)
