Nope. Take a 24 to 36 inch length of 10 lb test, put a snap swivel on 1 end and just a snap on the other. Put a small spoon on the snap only side, put your rigger rod down but don't tighten it all the way. Take the snapswivel and attach it to the rigger rod line and toss it in the water. Tighten up the rod to the rigger ball. The spoon will travel to the bow in the line and stop. Works great. I don't like to stack rods. I run 3 riggers with cheaters on them all the time on cayuga. When you hook up, you have to reel like crazy to catch up tight to the line. Then fish on. Plant is about 3 miles up. Actually you might want to run right up to the plant and work that area first. Start at the plant and go north to about Don's marina. Then work that area back and forth. RR

Launch at myers, put the rods down and head north. Keep fishing till about 2 miles past the plant. Turn around and do it again. Wire dipsys out 200 to 280 and shallow riggers 30 to 50 ft with cheaters. Work from 100 fow to 300 fow. Don't be afraid to fish the 250 to 300. The fish are there. RR

Atwaters is just north of the power plant. And Yea, thats where i fish. RR

Here Chris. I really like mine so far. http://www.tandlproducts.com/products.html#ef

I had to play a gig at the Glen for NASCAR, so that pretty much kills my weekend. My neighbor got some nice ones sat and sun fishing around my area. RR

In other words, Take it a boat mechanic! Good luck. RR

Sounds like the distributor (not the cap) to me. Happened to me 2 years ago. I had to have mine replaced with electronic ignition. Ran a lot better after that for sure. Are all the wires correctly hooked up to the battery? RR

Yup, definately. RR

To me the domestic bows are short and fat like the browns are. But I could be way off. I've only caught 2 football bows. RR

Actually Mike, I think Barney forgot to add in my salmon. Like I said no biggie! Hows Chaos taking it? lol!!!!!! RR

Um Cayuga! Not much further than owasco. Much better fishing. RR

Well I had a great morning. Fishing was fantastic for me. I actually think there is a mistake on my weight as I come up with 38 lbs or so. Either Mike Typo'd it or Barney added up my score worng. We had Laker 9lbs Laker 8lbs Laher 6.5 lbs Salmon 5.1 lbs Brown 9.6 lbs No matter though! We had a great time and always enjoy meeting new members. My wife is thrilled to have to dust and polish the cup for one more year. Actually Tracy, my first mate will have it for 6 months. He is very intregal to the success of the team. He runs a mean back of the boat. (with my oversite of course ) During the wicked T storm that hit at 5:00 am, We were sitting in the boat, in the lift waiting for it to pass, when my cell rings. Its my wife looking out the window. The first thing she says, is what are you Morons doing out in the boat? Many thanks to Split for organizing the tourny. He does a great job. RR

While carp fishing in fast water using 1 oz slip sinkers, my buddy had on a 20lb carp and was landing it. Rod bent right over. The hook came out and the sinker hit him right in the forehead almost knocking him out. Left quite a mark! RR

The miami dolphin I used looked like the serial killer. good spoon for browns. RR

My condolences to you and your family Stan. RR

We all run wire on the fL's. Just so you know. Works better than riggers in the summer. RR

Ha! RR

Na mine was a soft top, However I just had a new glass windshield part made for me for my wifes sea ray. IMG glass in ithaca can custom make any thing you need , tempered too. Cost me 50 bucks. You will need the dementions or a trace though. RR

My house Chaos, we are having a power dinner. Black angus delmonicos and beer. RR

Well my buddy did mine, but that was on my other boat. I am about to install it on the new one next week. Its not too bad. Depending on the size of your steering shaft you might have to get a sleeve for it. I have the part number if you need it as I needed it and they are in stock at Raymarine. You have to go thru west marine to get it though unless you want to pay 35 bucks for shippin for a 7 dollar part.

Thanks Ray, thanks a lot. Now see if I give you thet extra big fish I have left over. RR

Where are you guys buying them? Thanks RR

if the sport pilot is in good working order its a good deal. A bunch of us have the sport pilot, mine works fine and so does my friends. about 1400 for the simrad. RR

The flies are called stable flies and they are nasty. Yes switch to 30lb. Much better. RR

Yea Split and your fishing in my honey hole. But thats not where i fished last year. I have a couple of private spots after you guys put them down with all the boat traffic. lol I know you were gettin em. I have a good set of binocs! lol Should be a good fun tourney. To be totally honest, my wife hopes i lose so she won't have to dust the trophy anymore. lol!!!!! We also can't forget about Zeke, I make him the sleeper favorite. RR
