  1. Sorry to hear this Pap. rest and heal up bud.
  2. They used to. I have a bunch of them from years of first mating for Sam Datillo.
  3. Thanks. I will check it out.
  4. Can you post a picture of the Rod holder? I only need a single. If I can take one of the Rod holder off and use it for what I need, I might be interested.
  5. Is that a threat or a promise?
  6. I am looking for one used silver Big Jon Multiset rod holder.
  7. Does your fuel system have a water separator on it? I had an issue like this last year and it was due to the water separator filter being full of water. When I got the RPM's up, it was sucking water out of the water separator into the carbs stalling out the motor.
  8. That takes the price down to $35,100.00 US dollars. Still a little steep but a nice rig.
  9. Don't worry Chad. I will catch up. Hopefully mother nature is getting all of this east wind out of its system early!
  10. Sounds like a fuel issue. Is it a built in tank? Is your fuel tank vent clogged?
  11. I ran out of fingers and toes to count on so you are correct Dan!
  12. Started the morning off east of the creek in close for browns. Crystal clear 42 degree water and no browns. Slide out to 90-130 and put a beat down on the lakers. Confusion Hammerheads towing a UV Chartreuse Dot regular sized Gambler Rig was the ticket. 1.3 - 1.6 at the ball kept the rods popping. The lakers ranged from 6 -18 and change. The lakers were scattered and in pods. There was good green water in 80 -140 that was 47 on top and 45 down to 80'. Marked two big schools of bait and some hooks that did not look like laker marks up high (3 good marks). Nothing on boards on the surface. I was hoping for a coho or nice steelhead for the grill.
  13. Get it out of the system now! Early in the season, we get a lot of mid day lake breeze from the east/north east. The end of April and the beginning of May are focus for east winds.
  14. When there are alewives around higher in the water column, lakers feed on them heavily in low light hours. First light laker fishing is slow and you do not mark as many. Magically late morning, tons appear on the bottom. They are not finding gobies up in the water column. The Summer LOC winner we caught last summer, we marked up high and it streaked to the bottom and followed the rigger for a minute before hitting the rod. If alewives are no where to be found, they will eat gobies. I have found perch, stocker Browns, alewives, smelt, shad and emeralds in lakers. They do have a very diverse diet.
  15. People want them as a back up plan. Most will not admit it but by the number of people buying my lake trout rigs, I would say there is a lot more interest than you know.
  16. It gets really creepy when he asks other guys in the boat to do it for him.
  17. I fish lakers all summer and only gobies in them early in the season before the alewives show up....
  18. They did it to boost natural reproduction. Either way, they tell us things are not good with bait numbers yet they stock more lakers. If things were as bad as they say with the bait, wouldn't stocking more fish be the last thing on your agenda?
  19. There were videos on spoonpullers a couple years ago and honestly, the kings were the laziest hits out of all the species. They followed forever before hitting. Steelhead just bombed in an slammed the lure without hesitation.
  20. Even on good years, they make things sound horrible. Some issues bother me but some is the same old gloom and doom they have been spewing for decades. If the lake was on a collision coarse with a crash, why would they dump 300,000 more long living lake trout into the system?
  21. I just got done doing all of my teak and I sanded it then recoated with seikkens. Came out great.
  22. When it gets tough like that, down size your cowbells and spin n glows. Longer leads on the spin n glow rigs works too.
  23. If you are worried about eating fish from Lake Ontario, don't eat anything from the grocery store. Farm raised fish is worse for you than Lake Ontario fish.
  24. Removing the dark meat off the back of the filet and grilling them in a fish basket is the best way to get rid of the fishy taste. If you do them in foil, the filet just sits in the oils that come out of the filet. Bleeding them out makes a huge difference too.
  25. Nice work Matt.
