  1. I have an 86 StarCraft Blue water which is just like that boat with a soft top. My stringers were rotted really bad and I replaced them 6 years ago.
  2. Size 2 Spin n glows I run a size 2 hook and a size 4 spin n glow, I run a size 4 hook.
  3. On Lake Ontario, there is no better method than the spin n glow / cowbell combo. Running spoons, flashers and flies and Dodgers and spin n glows works. I have found I catch more fish per hour and bigger fish on the cowbell / spin n glow rigs. Take a look at the summer LOC leaderboard year after year and see which method is on there the most.
  4. I have had luck with Kwikfish, spoons, peanuts, spin n glows, swim baits, and mr twister curly tailed grubs. Spin n glows and peanuts are my best two producers. Kwikfish work but I end up with picking up zebra muscles with them now and then. I have only caught lakers, a steelhead and an Atlantic on cowbells and spin n glows.
  5. I have had robins in my yard for three weeks...... Hopefully soon!
  6. IMO the past three seasons have been abnormal as far as king fishing. This winter is following the 2011-2012 pattern. 2012 was the best season I had in 31 years of fishing Lake Ontario. Let's hope 2016 is like 2012!
  7. Looks like my back yard Bill. The deer were walking by just inside the woods last night while I was grilling!
  8. Never saw that before. Interesting.
  9. No such a thing. Buy the retro ease. No need to tip up.
  10. I knew this comment was coming! You are too predictable Rick.
  11. I'm in!
  12. This drama can be seen at East Fork Marina every week this season. Our boat slips are right next to each other.
  13. I want to see the Lake promoted not myself Rick........ See what you started Scott!!!
  14. Are you kidding me Weaves? This fishery is small compared to what it was in the 80's. It could use more attention. If the fishermen do not fish the lake, the fishery will not be here.
  15. I totally agree. IMO, the Salmon Showdown is a great show but I would love to see more promotion of Lake Ontario tournaments too.
  16. And hauling bass out of weeds with a heavy rod and 80lb braid is exciting? Ever watch a walleye fishing show? The Great Lakes market is tiny because it lacks exposure. I have bumped into people that live right near the lake and they had no idea it had trout and salmon in it!
  17. It looks like they would have a better show if they came to Lake Ontario. The first show only showed a couple fish being caught and small ones at that!
  18. After watching a couple episodes, I can't believe that this has not been done more on Lake Ontario. I know they did the Wilson Harbor Invitational a couple years ago. Why not the Pro Am, Oak Orchard open, Atommik Invitational, or other tournaments on the lake?
  19. Some icefishermen are scum. Have you ever seen how much trash some leave on the ice? Not all are but there are a few that ruin it for everyone else.
  20. They only "eat" black sponge in the tribs!
  21. Stay away from trackers. Look down in the "this old boat section" and read the story there about a tracker. It is a common issue with them.
