  1. I talked to Jason at Big Blue today and am planning to send in my units for checkout. $25 for evaluation and estimate.
  2. I was looking for Big Blue service information for the Subtroll 900. There had been info on eBay but its not current. I wanted to get my head unit repaired. Has anyone had any recent work done by them?
  3. I just checked with someone at the yacht club and they said it is definitely a water plant issue.
  4. I have had good service from Samson Marine on several occasions.
  5. Multiple wraps are necessary because with a single wrap or just a couple, the line will slip in the release when you load the bend in your rod.
  6. I’ve been running Black’s for over 30 years and they have worked well. It takes a little experience to get the tension right for the conditions/target species, but I prefer tighter than looser. I usually use about 5 wraps.
  7. We fished out of Pultneyville from 9:00 to 1:30. Didn’t actually measure temp because I heard the water was all warm. Marked quite a few fish at 150 down over 200-300. Looked like that was the thermocline depth. Only took 2 fish, a 7# coho and a king above the same. Both came on a flasher/fly on a dipsey out 250’.
  8. and then let out another? ft. of braid to achieve added depth?
  9. So to get more depth on a 300 copper, where would you attach the Torpedo Cuda?
  10. I have just tried Blood Run tinned copper the last couple of trips on a 300. It seems very easy to use and more kink resistant. …… and it catches fish too.
  11. Never heard of this. I have twin Alpha1s. Thanks for passing along. Still have the shift bellows to change.
  12. For what it's worth, I just talked to TowBoat/US Rochester and they have a boat in Sodus Point this year.
  13. Do any local (near Rochester) tackle stores sell Clipper Releases? I know I can get them online.
  14. Thinking about launching my 14 footer into the West River from the launch south of Middlesex on 245. How far can you navigate toward the lake? ,,,, all the way? What kind of fishing is available there in the summer?
  15. Not sure if we saw you during the same time out of P’Ville in the same depths. Kinda bumpy early. We got a couple big ones and lost a few. Thanks for your report.
  16. Managed a couple biggies this morning. Lost a few others and put back some skippies. Fish came in 400-600 fow, down 60-115’. Meat and dodger/fly combos best. Kinda slow but fun. Temp break was at 70’.
  17. Fished out of P’Ville 7:00-11:30 today. Fish seemed scattered. Took a couple small kings 95/190. At 250’, had a king take a meat rig on a dipsey out 250’. That fish ran out to 702’ of wire and the spool was getting close. Over the next 20 minutes, I got it back to 65’, still straight down …,,, then “boing” it was gone. Never saw it. About 11:00, had a laker on a F/F out 300’ on a dipsey. Fish came off about halfway to the boat. Saw very little bait.
  18. Looks like some good eatin’ there!
  19. Fished 7-11. 110-140 fow. Temp was 90’. All fish taken ~95’ down. 2 lakers, 2 kings, 1 little brown, and a big rat’s nest ( no pic of rat ‘s nest)
  20. 7/4. Fished 6-11:15. Temp had gone deep mid week but was back up to 60 ft. this morning. First 3 fish were a LT, an Atl, and a shaker king, all in about 115 fow. All released. Later on took an 18# king on a diver with meat out 180 over 100. While landing that fish, had two other good fish on off riggers. Both fish broke the leaders at the swivel. (Probably nicked line and the captain getting lazy about checking). Best depth 80-100 ft.
