I just heard about the proposed stamp on the news tonight. I think it's time we started contacting our state legislators to let them know of our disapproval.
I attach a DuBro or a Black's release to the terminal end of the cable, then below that attach the shark, torpedo, or ball.
Attaching the release to the actual weight itself causes excessive blowback and affects the performance of the weight, whether it be a shark, torpedo, or a ball.
With all the invites you've been getting you won't even need a boat for at least a year. Add my name to the list and you're more than welcome if you're around the Oswego area. Best Wishes during this Christmas Season to you and your buddies over there. We stand beside you all the way.
I have the 2-piece Fladen also. I wore it today to snowblow the driveway in 19 degree weather. I couldn't wait to get back in the house & take it off because I was drenched in sweat. Extremely warm suit. I love it, but hope I never have to cold water test it's performance.
Welcome Jeff, glad to have you onboard. Lookin forward to your reports & pics.
PS: Give that chain a good yank whenever you get the chance, he deserves it.

Good morning, I understand there may be discussion on adding a 3 rod limit per person on the open waters of Lake Ontario. I also understand the 3 fish limit per person will also remain the same. As a salmonoid troller I fully support this proposal. I believe it would increase fishing license sales and further enhance the fishing experience on Lake Ontario.
Many times when I cannot find a partner to fish with I will forego the trip because I cannot set up a decent program with only two rods. With the 3 rod proposal, I would not mind fishing alone as it would give me a better spread and would be worthwhile.
I encourage you to support the 3 rod proposal for the open waters of Lake Ontario if it is presented to you.
Thanks, Bob (muskybob)

Bob,
Three rod/angler proposals have been brought forward in the past, but were not favorably received. We will include your idea in discussions with the DEC Regional Fisheries Managers (RFMs). If there is some support from the RFMs, and Albany staff, we can then advance to discussion with sportmen's groups. Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective.
Regards, Steven Lapan
Be careful what you ask for, you might get it. Granted the Tigers are a hybred, but they do reproduce at approx. 3% rates. This is considered insignificant by DEC standards, thus the misconception of them being sterile, but in a small lake it could be a big impact on other native species.
I couldn't see spending hundreds on a mast so I made my own out of a 6' piece of galvanized fence post & 2 electrical wire spools with a thru bolt for handles. One of the handles is missing because I needed it for another project. :shock: I got the small pullys at Home Depot. The post fit exactly in the bow seat mount on my 16' Starcraft. Hey, don't knock it, it worked for me.
