  1. Here is what I have set up with full 300 yd spools of 30lb Power pro backing, FISHUSA Stealth Core and a 30' leader. 10 color - Saltist 50 7 color - Saltist 40 5 color - Saltist 40 3 color - Saltist 30 2 color - Saltist 20 1 color - Saltist 20
  2. Last season on the one trip, I had my riggers go quiet. I started pulling rods to make sure we weren't dragging a skip. I popped the port rigger and hit the rigger coming up. The rigger sounded like it was under a heavier load than normal. As the rigger was coming up, I could see a green 11" paddle coming up that was wrapped around the cable. When the rigger stopped at the surface, there was that green 11" paddle with an Atommik meat rig and a 15lb king on it. Someone had broke this fish off and it happened to swim into the downrigger cable and got wrapped up enough to get hauled to the surface. To this day, that paddle has been a producer on my boat!
  3. I put a loop in the wire with crimps and tied the braid on with a Uni knot.
  4. Fishing is tough but you at least got two good ones!
  5. It’s already naturally occurring.
  6. Are browns naturally reproducing in the lake? Lakers are around 1%. What is the coho natural reproduction rate? Steelhead? Atlantic salmon? It's not about reproducing; it's about providing a sportfishery.
  7. I guess they raise them at the Rome hatchery. A lot of the browns for Lake Ontario come from the Rome Hatchery. I think it would be a really cool addition to the fishery.
  8. Seeing that Captain Matt French of Class A Sportfishing caught one out of Rochester last weekend, it got me thinking. Why doesn't the DEC start stocking them in Lake Ontario? Promote them as a trophy fishery on Lake Ontario and its tributaries!
  9. The retaining clip is worn. It is the only part you will have to replace.
  10. My buddy sent me this from Marketplace. Could this be stolen stuff? $150.00 was the price.
  11. The bait is gone due to over population of lake trout and the two back to back winters from 2014-2016. SCHREKSTOFF can tell you what happens to alewife populations when we have hard winters.
  12. I have 3 lots of spin do it it’s for sale. Most are in like new condition.

  13. I have caught pike in the summer off piers. Last summer at Hamlin Beach State Park, I caught a 32" northern off the end of the small pier in Area 1. I have also caught them off the Summerville and Charlotte piers in the summertime.
  14. Tim Skrip is making these and selling them.
  15. Just don't eat the single chips he tries to get you to eat! Ask Colin!
  16. August weather is horrible!
  17. You can thank the great brown and steelhead fishery on great king fishing. Browns have been left alone. A lot of kings have been in the inside waters all season. Boats haven’t needed to venture offshore to the steelhead rich waters. If you want them, they are there but no one is burning the fuel with the current prices when you don’t have to!
