Thanks HM. I should draw similar to him and lake has come up some. Thanks Ess for the input. I know it could be better. I just talked to the town and they said they are putting the docks in today. Dick

Anyone used Bear Creek launch in the last few days? I need to launch my 27' Sea Ray somewhere to get it to my dock in Pultneyville. I draw about 2.5'. I wonder if I could get it in there and into the lake w/o problem. Thanks for any info, Dick

As YT said the end caps are an issue like other brands. I need to glue mine (4) as suggested above. Currently, I just have them wrapped & overlapped w/black electrical tape. I did manage to pinch my finger in a tight spot on them once last year, but I don't really know how it happened. All in all, they are very nice.

Not really so much as to how we named it but the evolution of the boat logo on the transom. My first Landing zone was a 24.5 Sea Ray Amberjack and the letters were a variation of a stock script. My second was a 31 Ft Baha and since one of my sons is a graphic designer he created the first logo below (note the characteristic Baha top). For various reasons, I downsized next to a 24' Lund Genmar Sportcabin. The next image shows how the logo was modified to represent tthe Lund. Lastly, I went larger again to a 27" Sea Ray Amberjack and my son modified the logo again to reflect that change. Thought someone might appreciate the sequence.

Clipper Planer Board Releases?
landingzone replied to Primetime Pete's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I use the half hitched rubber band to the backer when pulling 350'+ copper from the big boards. It smooths surges in the heavy pull keeping the "line" in the clipper. Mkes sure you adjust the clipper so that a streched rubber band will pull through on a hit. You will also have to remove/break the rubber band before it enters the reel, unless your line guide will accept it. -
I got a response from Senator Mike Nozzolio stating that he will support the new bill when it comes up.

Dipsy Setting Question
landingzone replied to Guppy35's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I'm still struggling a little with numbers for setting 2 dipsys per side. All say to run the deeper diver (say #1 setting) closest to the boat. Then most advise letting out 10-100' more out on the outside diver (say setting #3) to maintain separation. Looking at "Precision Trolling", that would usually put the outside diver at or below the depth of of the inner diver. I thought, the outside line was supposed to be higher? Help? -
great lake planners
landingzone replied to Petesdraggon's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I also own the captain deluxe system and have had it for 2yrs. now. Originally, I was also concerned about the scratching so I cut off short sections of brass slugs from rod and placed them between the set screws and the tube. It works fine but I don't think it is necessary. In reality, once you figure where you want things, they don't move much, or at most they are rotated on their axis and you can't see any mark anyway. I have been very satisfied with my system and found Tony to be easy to work with for any customization, etc. I designed a cleaning table mount and he made it for me perfectly. -
I was not aware, but It was mentioned at the LOTSA seminar that the "3 Rod Rule" expires at the end of this year. That is what is in the original legislation. http://m.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/s2462b-2011 I don't know what, if any, activity has started to get this renewed or made permanent. I sent an email to Senator Nozzolio, who supported the original bill, asking him to advocate getting it made permanent.

If you choose a 4 cycle kicker then the best option imho is to connect it to the main tank. I did this on my last boat (24' Lund) and connected the 6 cycl. I/O to a Yamaha T8 via an EZ Steer. I had a fixed welded aluminum bracket mount for the kicker. I have some pictures somplace. PM me if you want more info.

Non coated downrigger cable for use with your speed/temp
landingzone replied to cuseroller's topic in Tackle and Techniques
How do you think this compares to the original Moor coated cable? -
Anyone tried one of these? I saw them yesterday at the Syracuse Sportsman's Show and they looked pretty interesting. http://ped-products.com/index.php

Snell or Palomar knot on treble for fly leaders?
landingzone replied to Chas0218's topic in Tackle and Techniques
I've done that (bend the eye) to get a straight pull. Don't know if it helped, but it looks good. One problem is that some trebles are so hard that you can break the shank in the process. -
Have a good one, Jim!
