  1. I just bend the points closed (down to the main hook shaft). Sometimes certain sticks will not run right if you take the treble off.
  2. Jerry was all over it!
  3. Depending on how deep I am fishing, it varies. If the browns are coming in tight and really high, I run a 1/4 ounce split shot 6' from the stick bait. If I'm running 20-30 and the browns are coming down a little bit, I run 1 ounce 50' back, clip on the weight and put it out another 50' - 75'.
  4. NE winds the next couple days might push it back West and melt it off before the boom comes out.
  5. I use a Cannon Retro ease. You can lock the line into the clip and hold it in place until you have the release clipped.
  6. Yes. Some perch and bullhead were being caught this weekend on Long Pond. Cranberry was still dead according to the guys I talked with. It should pick up any day now.
  7. The fishery is constantly changing. Those that change with it excel. Those that don't change with it, struggle. In my 37 seasons on Lake O, I have enjoyed the challenges of the fishery changing. Learning new tactics and perfecting them is a challenge but can be extremely rewarding. Never be afraid to try something different. You may stumble onto the next big thing!
  8. The my were brought back for a short time and they were called Rosco shiners. They work awesome for spring browns and spring kings. I still have a bunch of the non jointed versions. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. They work but not as well as regular bells. A lot of Champlain guys run them for landlocks.
  10. They are awesome for Lake O browns when the bite slows down! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. Seagate or Saltist 50 will work.
  12. You can see how bad it is in this photo. Another thing I noticed this winter that I have not seen in a long time was an ice wall all the way across the bay. The channel even had a high wall of ice that formed across. Sounds silted in to me! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. Braddocks is a complete mess. The point is 60 yds longer than it used to be. The sand pushed between the point and the wall filling in the bay along the point. It
  14. Drove by today and here is what I found: Cranberry - 20% open Long Pond - 25% open but a lot along edgemere Drive and a lot of guys fishing Buck - 50% open
  15. The iceboom camera shows the condition of what is left. It looks thin and ready for the boom to be pulled!
  16. Double Spin N glos with skirts are better. More action with double spin n glos and the skirt. Add smelly jelly and lakers commit suicide!
  17. Last season I had a lot more luck running 8" flashers over bigger stuff. For example, the morning of the Sandy Creek Shootout, we ran 6 cutbait rigs and the fish quickly showed they were in the mood for smaller paddles and the big paddles never got deployed for the rest of the day. I run a lot of echips, kingfisher and Dream Weaver paddles in 8", 10" and 13". Somedays one is better than others. I put a variety of stuff out and let the fish tell me what they want.
  18. I run a sure flow. It has been on the boat since 2005 with zero issues.
  19. I am a shift work Distribution Operator in the water treatment plant. We rotate a different shift every week. Nights suck!
  20. Here are my popular Cayuga colors in my product lines: Gambler Rigs - most guys use regulars or singles Lemon Lime Alien Pink Dot Green Monster Bull Frog Death Traps - I sell a lot of both regular and magnum sized traps to Cayuga guys. Yellow Dew Crushed Ice UV Antifreeze I have 2 new colored Death traps for 2021 in Carbon 14 and Seneca Special. My new Gambler Rig color for 2021 is Glow UV 2 face. It comes in Regular, Magnum and single. I am waiting for a shipment of Spin n glos to come in for the Glow UV 2 Face Gambler Rigs in Magnum (3 left) and singles (currently out of stock. Regulars I have over 100 in inventory. Here are the new products.
  21. Gambler Rigs will be emailing you about sending some product to give away!
  22. You are really showing your age with this post Jimski2!
  23. Yes. It sucks!
  24. It will rise. Be patient. We will not see huge flooding but she will get to normal easily. The higher Erie is, the inflow of water into Lake O is higher. They now have plenty of room to hold back water if we get any flooding spring rains and they are in jeopardy of flooding out Montreal.
  25. The upper lakes are still way above average. They will fill her back up. Don't worry!
