Any still available? RR

I need an old style mag 10 motor. One crapped out on me. Thanks. RR

Well I won't keep any lakers under 8 to 9 lbs. The salmon and browns i filet up, smoke a few and give a few to my neighbors. This is the only time I kill fish. So no biggie and they won't get wasted. I just don't want you guys following me around! Follow Zeke around, he's a better fisherman than I am anyway. I'll get a pic of his boat in a week or 2 and I'll post it up for you guys. RR

Its just a trophy not 10 grand! So i won't cry if i don't win. You guys better have good limits cause if you don't have a limit, your not going to win. You can bet I will have a limit. I will have my limit by 8:00 am and then culling the rest of the day. Bank on it. Last year I caught about 50 fish during the LOU. I'm not kidding either. RR

Ha its not going to help! lol I was out fishing when they were maping it last summer. It was really interesting to watch, They had 3 boats running back and forth all day. At first I thought they were draggin for a body. RR

What do you think, i want you guys to follow me around Cayuga?! Ok OK here it is.

That equals staying home. General rule is West or East you can fish either shore. S, SW, N, NW 20 or over, its gonna be rough. Even in my big boat its not fun at 20mph out of the NW. RR

Ok rigging my new boat. I put in a second battery and hooked up the electronics to it. The main starting battery has the riggers and motor only. I need to install a switch (perko). How the heck do I wire it? Where do I get the wire and terminals? Motor is a 4.3 mercrusier IO. My understanding is to only run it on the main (1) on the way out and then on the way back in switch it to 2 to charge the electronics battery. Can you switch the battery from 1 to 2 while the motor is running? Never run it on both unless you can't start motor. Never switch it to off when the motor is running or you will blow the alternator. any other info please. Thanks guys. RR

:shock: :shock: ...rusty,...without you knowing it a transponder has been attached to your boat. Chaos is now in Colorado establishing an up-link to my GPS. You cannot hide your boat. My want to think about leaving it at the dock for the LOU-All But if i leave it at the dock, you won't be able to find my secret spot! Ha ha good one Stinger. I laughed hard on that one. RR

I have my weekend spots and then there are my tournment spots which i won't fish until the event! No secret here, I'll be out in front of my house all of July! RR

Get an 8 ft antenna. You wnot pick up didley with the 36 inch one. Its line of site. The higher the better. RR

My wife just polished it on sat.

I dunno Zeke I wasn't fishing in my spot last year. It was really weeded up. So I know a spot that is usually weed free. I fished there and the fish were there too. Allthough it won't be hard to spot me in the shiney new boat! AND today is a great day as I'm picking it up this afternoon! I hope the wind dies down for this evening as I plan to have happy hour on it! In the driveway! RR

ha ha! You won't find those same fish in August! August is my best month on the lake. RR

As of right now, I am still the king of the lake and you new guys are gonna have a heck of a time beating me. so you better bring your A game and do your homework. RR

You got that right Split! RR

Me weld? Thats a good one. I'm just going to have a fabricator make me a sleeve for a standard rail mount. No biggie. Thanks for the help guys. RR

Little trick I learned from Captain Ernie L. Replace the front hook with one size bigger than the one thats there, leave the back one the same size. If there are 3 trebs, take the front off and replace the back 2 like above. Big difference! I use gammy's or owners. RR

Didn't quite know where to post this. I am having a tough time finding a rail mount for this antenna. I have been round and round with raymarine to no avail and the wrong mount sent twice. It does not fit the regular VHF mount. It appears to be a half inch screw. I don't want to mount it on the top of the cuddy. I'm looking for a rail mount. Appreciate all help. Thanks RR

Don't do it! The rules plainly state no fishing at all on off times during the pro am. Even from docks etc. No kidding either. Hate to see you guys get DQ'd.

All of the creeks around Ithaca will have trout in them. Spinning gear with egg sacs or worms will catch fish. Mepps spinners work too. There will be a crap load of people fishing so just watch them. Except the snaggers of course! I've caught them up till the end of May. Usually when the suckers show up it slows down though. You can bank fish the lake year round if ya want to. I'm sure its pretty decent off shore over at Esty. Fish with slip sinker rigs and big shinners or 8 ft down under a bobber. Roostertails in white work too. Catch browns and lakers, why wait! RR

Isn't it like 20 bucks to register your trailer in NY? Geeze! :roll: RR

You would have to ask spoonfed about that one. They do work in certain circumstances. I run them once in a while first thing in the morning. RR

I'm getting 18 to 19 city and 25 to 26 highway in my 2007 pilot. RR

Thanks a lot! RR
