My son and I should be on the hudson in a couple days excelent reports from their too.

yup to the fishfinder,its a pia. but thats what i have to do with old style, and eagle/lorwance products

hey rod sat we (family) are having a get togeather so for the first time in 15 years ill be missing the derby,i plan on hitting the hudson tues wed maybe thursday but would like to show you a few tricks and spots on seneca .....give me a call bring boards if ya got em

pretty warm water at the bar today lots of little fish in top 50 ft water (5 to 8 lbs) but closer to olcott (3mi west) bigger fish 120 down 275-300 dypsy over 180 to 250 fow, I did maybe 10-12 of the smaller 1/2 dozen or more shakers and 3 linerippers 15 to 20 lbs,,,white on white , and green dots on white with whitesh fly,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mostly spoon bite(all smaller fish) kinda lemon ice color spoons...

b u m p ttt

for my slide diver rig i put the slide on the power pro then tie on a swivel and then add 8 ftish of mono ya might have to customize the rubber line holder if ya get some slippage but with my 65lb pp its never slipped,,i leave this one rod set up just for this applacation for savingsetup time when i use it. that way you can let out 1 to 300 ft line set diver and let out for desired depth (remember line count or reset to "0" and let out diver... as a general rule P.P. has very close to wire dive ratio approx 3 to 1 at 2.5 mph but due to the extra drag with long leader it does effect depth ratio..i like a green dolphin with 100 ft or more line out set dypy and drop back another 80..makes for a fun steelie setup quite often youll see them clear the water after hitting spoon before dypsy trips..ya might set the hook just a"""""" tad """"""after hookup as due to long leader you dont get as good of hookset like you do with standard dypsy release or rigger release...not a top producer (slidediver) but is a good tool if huning big steelies....

hmm looks like overheating by discoloration,and something poped from inside out,Id say RUN FOREST RUN!!!

Hey "tweeter" hope you and Yankee are happy by singlehandedly decreasing the work output of 5000 members.....Great job as a Charter hey if ya got a few min. give yankee some tips on how to sharpen a hook i see he is steppin up his game against hook dulling.

i bought one of those 18" kayak sea anchors its held up for 6 years for like 11.00 online (ebay).....your other option is run more stuff 4 riggers,2 dypsys, and a copper down the chute will add enuf drag....90% of the time on my 22 ftr

this post has as many bumps as the scotty

OK From pocket savers, Mechanical pencils , and probly even has one of those little range finders for the golf course...so what do ya get a guy who has everyting ??? A GREAT BIG BIRTHDAY WISH HAVA GREAT DAY CHAD !!! THANKS FOR THE WORK YOU ALL DO FOR US FISHERPERSONS WITH THIS SITE.............................................

hey they are for W.A.F.I.'s ,,,,,,,this time of year id be a little more worried of partial sumeraged loges than a 5 ft high bright yellow bouy..Unless you were a truck driver and cant see anything smaller than a truck....

I ant no expert but have talked to 1 or 2 ....did ya think to check your temp guage ?? ive rebuild a few motors over the years and you really need to pay attention that your thermostate is working proper (guage is your best tool on boat)..Too cold and ya can get condensation ,uneaven metal temps in cyc walls(rapid or accelarted wear) ,metal fatigue(failur and cracks),,,to hot and the thin walls between cyc can overheat,excessive valve wear (hot exhaust valve) warpage ,and a ton of other issues that can find a imperfection in yer motor.....and not usually at the dock,,,,so to you and others pay attention to your temp guage at speed,and trollin and more than once during the day....make a habbit of the driver to examine all guages ive had alt.wires vib and break,a plastic bag or weeds could cost you a new 3000.00 engine or more...But to answer you manifold touching issue ??????????????????????I ant gotta clue as i have a open system and some areas of the manifold are warmer than others ....maybe hank or 350 will chime in ....get to know as much as you can about your boat IE: if your thermostate is a 120 deg it shouldnt matter if your in 40 deg water or 70 deg water your guage should be very close to 120

yes just after the crunch..........or was that before the crunch???

there is a great big wall straight out make shure you turn just past the chute>>!!!!!!!!!!!!1
