    As always an awesome video. Keep up the good work!

    I may have a small investment in selling cowbells but they are not my product. I’m speaking from 38 years of experience trolling Lake Ontario and way more hours of trolling lake trout than I’d like to admit! I just did a seminar in Erie PA on fishing lake trout. Cowbells are not my product but death traps are. I was honest and told them cowbells were the better option over Death Traps for lake trout as long as they could get their boats slow enough. I am honest with customers and push them toward what works.

    Can I send you a prize pack to give to the winner?

    I hope everyone made it to shore safe! One of my biggest fears on the water!

    My buddy has a camp in Almond and releases pheasants. By the long tail feathers, it looks like a pheasant to me.

    When the season opens, I will have my buddy send photos. Not huge numbers of the 90's but worth doing it. He had some good days on Wautoma and Lewis shoals last summer.

    I know a ton of bass guys and I don't know any of them that target smallmouth in Lake Ontario during the spawn. Now, dropping the creel limit down from five might be a better idea. With a struggling population, the DEC has failed to drop the creel limit. I asked at the state of the lake meeting years ago and was told they haven't dropped it because of bass tournaments.

    If you see fish like this consistently, drop a cowbell and Gambler Rigs down and get your speed under 1.8 at the ball. When they are grouped like this, they are as easy as it gets!

    The amount of giant smallmouth coming in Sandy ever spring has increased over the last couple of years. Ten or so years ago, there were barely any that came in during the spring spawning runs. The fish patterns in the lake have changed and they are not in the same spots they were in back in the 90's. Bass guys that are successful are fishing way deeper than the traditional 90's patterns. The population is still low but they are there in fishable numbers. Before gobies, they had to hunt for food. Now the lake bottom is littered with gobies.

    Try 120’ and deeper. I find them as deep as 220’ on the bottom at this time of year. Make sure your fish finder is zoomed on the bottom too. There are days they are tight to the bottom and will not show up good.

    If Lakers don't want bells, you are running the wrong color that day, trolling too fast or slow or you are trolling the wrong direction. I have never seen a day I couldn’t crush Lakers on cowbells.

    A lot of times that error comes in when the probes on the front of the probe have been hit against the side of the boat while on the water. I had it happen before. I purchased the rubber boot that goes on the front of the probe to keep it from happening again. No issues since I added them.

    It has been tried before and failed. Hopefully it fails again.

    I'm selling a trolling motor for a buddy. It is a Minn Kota Edge 70 lb thrust 24 volt trolling motor with a 45" shaft. It also has a TH Marine handle and cable release. $300.00 and pick up in Hilton NY.
  16. GAMBLER
    Let me know.
  17. GAMBLER
    The pic shows 8 releases.
  18. GAMBLER
    How much for the releases?

    I sold my 22’ Starcraft blue water in the fall and was searching for a bigger boat. The plan was to buy a 27’ tiara open. That didn’t happen. I ended up buying a 24’ Penn Yan contender that needed some TLC. After 8 weeks of working on it, she’s ready to go! Here are some photos of what she looked like and now looks like. I upgraded all the electrical, riggers, rod holders, kicker bracket wood, new bolsters, all new vinyl and I added LED lighting under the gunnels.

    Congrats!

    The entire pond. You just worked around the pond looking for them. We used fly rods with no weight. Chum with bread and make flies out of white glow bug yarn. You will also need dry fly floatant to make them float.
  22. GAMBLER
    Yes. My buddy still goes there and does it. There is only a handful of grass carp in there. Chum with bread and you will see them. They are usually schooled together.
  23. GAMBLER
    You have to park in the lot adjacent to the pond. If you park along the road, they will boot you out. There is a parking lot to the South of the pond.

    At unity, I'm talking about the pond out front. There are tons of carp both common carp and a handful of grass carp in the front pond. When the cotton wood flies, the grass carp sip the cottonwood off the surface. We made cottonwood flies out of white glow bug yarn and used fly floatant gel to make them float. You could spot the grass carp sipping off the surface and cast 6' in front of them and they would suck it in. We also chummed with bread and did the same thing to imitate floating bread. It worked great and was a blast on a fly rod. There used to be a lot of bass in there but now the carp have killed off all the vegetation and I havent seen a bass in there in years.

    If you look at the photo here, you will clearly see the island that is in the background of the grass carp photo. The second photo you will see the sign that is in the background of the carp photo…
