Big Dave

Happy Birthday Bob!!! and Many More!!!

The weeds are up to bushel basket size hunks floating anywhere. Pain in the A@@@@@@

The streach in the mono would make hook sets hard with the real long leads off the release. I like my chrome sharks. Some guys like black, others like bright colors like orange or green. You have to find what works for you. Read the old posts there is a ton of info. in these. The reports section has info on time of year and where and what was working. Take that last part with a grain on salt not all fisherman will give away secerets. Just listen to the vhf radio in Mex. Bay in the fall.

Can't you gorrila glue the broken pieces back on????? Well Done Ray, nice rack!!!! Canned venison sandwichs for the boat next summer

Spoon lead from weight I usually run 10 to 15' Once in awhile I will streach it back to 40 or 50' if nothing is hitting the regular leads. I use 14# line on Cayuga with spoons , 20# for the flasher & fly rods.

Snare????

Thanks Tom!! Wish they would do something down on Cayuga.

Thanks Guys!!!!! Glad for everyone that I Get.

Thats funny Ray, I thought us Lardass's had our own padding!!!!

Im in See Ya in FEB. !!!!

One that I don't have to work on when the Salmon bite is the hottest!!! I like my Islander, I can trailer it easly and it is easy on the fuel.

And with Old fingers !!!!!!

Not to big a job to put brakes on the trailer you have. If the other trailer has been sitting the mice may have make a mess of the wiring!!

You have the LOSTA weekend at the end of Feb. The Elosta club has one in March , The fingerlakes trollers has one at Watkins Glen in March . Pick your day careful so you get the best attendance. Or at least so I can get there

Top it off with some lamprey pie for dessert!!!!

Using Eagleclaw hooks??? Cool , we have one that fishes the river behind my house.

I am still learning each time I get out!!!

P.S. He had some spoons that he had shot through with a gun and the paint held up and didn't flake off .

R&R spoons at mytacklebox.com He paints spoons , flashers for Salmon and trout. And spinner blades for walleyes My new toys, like I needed more Dave is the R&R guy , the people were just fisherman around the booth Tried to get a picture of the super glow he puts on the spoons. The tape realy fires up with a UV light. The Magenta Shad is my best steelhead spoon on a freeslider in the summer. The landlocks like the razor and the superlites on Cayuga.

Had a nice chat with Dave and the guys around the R&R booth . Picked some new spoons to run over on Cayuga next week. Will try to post some pictures later. Love the UV clear coat that he uses, the tape and paint realy light up with the uv light!!

Have a good one Mark!!!
