Legacy

These meeting are open to anyone who would like to attend. Dont feel that you have to attend the meetings to be involved. Most pen rearing programs are especially in need of volunteers to sign up for scheduled feeding times. After we recieve the fish, these are time slots throughout the day (for a few weeks), that the fish need to be fed and cared for.

FYI- The first meeting of the year will be held on Saturday March 7, 2009 at 1:00pm in the Gymnasium at the Hamlin Town Hall . This years pen rearing program will be the same as years past with two pens raising a total of 7500 Steelhead. The Sandy Creek pen rearing program is looking forward to adding 2 pens of chinook to the program in 2010.

I have always wanted to troll in fall with musky killers. No doubt they would put fish in the boat. How many, who knows?

its a misprint. they just reversed feet down and feet back. The numbers on the actual depths have created some controversy.

Happy Bday jeff

RUN Toto Run!

raider44, I run alot of cheaters and ive always been a big fan of running the liberators. Unlike the rubberband method, Liberators are fully adjustable. I have found that you can adjust whether or not you want the roemer to slide down the line by simply reversing the way you attach it to the line. Some days when i notice hook ups arent that great on my cheaters i turn the liberators upside down and lock them in tighter and they seem to stay pinned while i fight the fish. Most of the time the rod tip hitting the liberator will make it break free, allowing you to fight and reel in the fish on the lower spoon.

I installed berts tracks and ratcheting rod holders last year and so far i couldnt be happier. Lots of adjustment, easy to use, and very easy to install. i shopped around for a good price and bought mine from here... http://www.buyfishingstuff.com/berts.html

now thats funny Tom!

See guys, you can teach an old dog new tricks!

shade, This book is a big help and it will take alot of the guess work out of what your doing. It shows the dive curve for leadcore, dipseys, etc. http://www.precisionangling.com/bigwater.html

wondering how many of you guys are replacing your dull hooks or stock hooks with something alittle more to your liking. Im just looking for a couple of places online to buy bulk quanities (50+) of replacement treble and octopus hooks.

something about this post seems familiar...

When i had my bass boat "we" (me and some other crazy person) spent alot of time trolling the mouth of sandy creek and the oak orchard break wall early in the year (march-april) before the docks were in. we mostly ran 3 rods and used the church "walleye boards" to help with separation . Chinook gave you some good ideas on baits, the only thing id would add is we sometimes added splitshot to get our lines deeper, especially with spoons.

Sweet Boat!

pretty incredible (or scary) to see some of the figures on this stuff. 340 propossed projects at a cost of $22,093,054,016 for Puerto Rico? http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/by_state/PR this has to be the best one i saw on the list. Makes everything else look like chump change. $17,500,000,000.00 for an energy project in the 51st state of puerto rico? http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/3349

i have a stainless clamp on rod holder mounted to the rail on either side of the boat. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ... sNum=12451 or another option... http://www.legendaryproduct.com/Net_Bracket_1.asp

maybe this will help... viewtopic.php?f=2&t=869
