I have experienced a small one on the south end of Cayuga when an intense storm blew through, always attributed it to a seiche. Maybe it was, it's not clear where the difference lies- maybe the meteotsunamis are from a quick push and the seiches from a sustained wind. Anyway whatever it's called, it was pretty cool watching Fall Creek flow upstream for a few minutes, it repeated a few times too as the wave bounced back and forth across the lake.

It's great to hear from people who use and enjoy the jigs so thanks guys! I'm really hoping to put some real time into growing things later this year but I've also thought that for the last few years; hopefully things are in place this time. Time will tell. But a quick update- the soft plastics inventory is now up to date and I have an order to fill the missing (and most popular) items, so within a week or so everything should be back.

Hey guys thanks for the kind thoughts and words, it's good to hear people are still finding that useful and I'm very humbled by it. It's one thought process and approach among many. catmandu if you're looking at my site, There is a slight possibility that I'm actually out of one color of the plastics that the site says I have and I need to figure that out. I had an inventory issue I haven't checked yet and I will be doing that in the next few days. If you email I can check anything. There are of course many places to buy both the plastics and jig heads. I know not painting the heads is a deal breaker for some but I can't do that anymore without actual shop space. My personal favorites are the shakers- a good length and I really like the paddle tails. Other brands work great too. I usually fish the fluke style in deep water only because it drops faster but that's just me. Anyway I hope you find the tutorial useful and have fun out there! As far as colors, I like white, crystal ice, limetruese, and seafoam shad, and the glow/chartreuse tail, not necessarily in that order. Occasionally something like purple or dark green.

Sounds good! And tell Doug congratulations!

Well tournament bass guys are a different animal, of course they'd refer to it as cheating. Look at them and their boats, you can't make much money selling bait or plastering "SAWBELLY" all over your boat

Nice doubles are fun and it was a beautiful morning!

Exactly! How can it be unfair if everyone is allowed to use it? And bait doesn't always outproduce anyway. Anyone that thinks bait is a magic answer needs to fish more and find out it isn't true.

I really like my Coleman Marine, it's lasted a good 10 years (still going strong) and the only thing wrong is the lid hinges broke but I kind of like it that way. Seems to be sturdier than their regular coolers and it's all white which helps in the sun. I don't know if they were better made back then but it's a great cooler. On the flip side I just bought a smaller Coleman for food and it's definitely lower quality, but it's probably at least worth looking into and they aren't too expensive.

Great info, I go through there a few times a year on the way to London. Thanks

And laker! Someone had a good morning, congrats!

Thanks for the tips guys I just looked into it, it'll cost me $250 from Jamestown but it might be worth it to not have to worry about it again.

Hey guys my wooden transom in my 16' aluminum is getting old. Getting a few cracks on the aluminum parts (stringers?) that come up and meet it in the center. Anyway, the question is what should I use? This one appears to be a single slab of pine, untreated. It also lasted 20 years, pretty surprisingly. Use more pine but seal it, including drilled holes? Make something out of marine plywood? That sounds heavy to me. Get a slab of redwood? If plain wood lasts 20 years that sounds pretty good to be honest but I'm wondering if there's something else out there.

Oops realized I never mentioned the bait I tried, plain old alewives

Ed thanks for posting, hope you're getting some fishing in too!
