good point teacher guy ,, tom if you hav a plotter on your gps and do some zig zagen 250 ft cable might be findable for 200 bucks id invest some time heck drag a spoon around down and you might pick a laker or two also

jeff your right on the newer tips the roller recesses behind the sides ,a lot of my stuff was hand me downs from the 50 and60's solid brass with replaceable bronze bushings but with a small gap to the sides that ate my first wire attempt with rollers i have 5 or 6 replacement rollers ,screws,and bushings if anyone needs to rebuild the old style ....

Siggs Riggs Green Apple.. tom

hmmm lamphrey side contest at the derby weigh ins might wake someone up or get some attention in the local press and the NY newspaper Outdoors News 50 or 60 of those puppys hanging on a board Will get some attention,,,,Lamphrey Calcutta ,at capt meetings.

olcott spring then aok orchard then mexico bay, one of those islands in sodus might spurr me into doing some homework that way...

there must be two Yankee Trollers i see some guy under the same name posting under the bass Yes Bass section,,, now if you want a bass go to the hudson with me next year in the spawn and hook into 12 to 25lb strippers for a day or 4 but ya gotta use light line and tackle ........

i think you ment out in the stuff or sh%# kids do read this, tho we all slip now and then with our boat language, specially me ,if you go midlake N/S and in the middleE/W the only thing other than weeds that will bother you will be those pesty fish

the first ,second ,or third time your wire jumps or gets to the side of the roller ...remember these words ...twill tip....

couple things to help ,make shure your fish ID is off with eagle and bottomline this makes your ability to mark "hooks" and lines (fish) much better,make shure your ASP is off or as low as you can set it and still show good screen,,,,,SENSATIVITY as high as you can without dotting up the screen,,,,, the last setting i can think of this early i just dicoverd last week on another boat is go to black background (nightscreen) now this last one you might want to wait till you get used to the (hook) screen,,,,, most units will advertise HIGH speed well if you ant shooting through the hull(fiberglass only) it usually is pretty hard to see fish at speeds above 10mph some people with smooth bottoms (the boats bottom tom)can get a decent picture above that its 7 mphish on my boat alum. with rivets.. also if your not interested in the high speed stuf keep your transducer flat or 1 click back towards the balls with 200kh and you might see a follower ior the hookup ,,,niow thats fun .. thats where a 50kh (wider cone)payes for itsself...................................theres that guy waving again in the last photo above ,,fancy sunblocker (towel) Mark ,try a strip of "S" clete dblside taped to the top of your unit and slip in a pice of thin cardboard (ceral box)trimmed for screen or use duct tape (if you can find some)

heres one of my spoons i picked out west gives ya a idea of the crystalaina's color .......do i hear 20.00 waddoya think of that stix first the john deere now this, a observent fisherman might see a little FROG,5DIMONDS,ANTIFREEZE,GR DOLPHIN ,sunny day 40 to 70 ft down thermo,sorta clear water this pattern and color WILL catch fish hmmm seems like i got a bunch of this pattern in my boat ,sometimes when your on a trip near water ya gotta slow down and smell the bait shops and the roses.they both will get you..hope this helps.........

congrats from the LOUSERS too ,and to everyone after sundays bumps , boy my 20/20 hindsite has been kicken in ,wooda, shoulda ,coulda,maybe next year Lord willing, we will get in a few more .hope are luck holds out again. trying to get a crew for the salmon river derby guess i better start with headquarters (WIFE ) .after that its downhill. RAY K."PEGASUS"

seems like my antennas picked up on this somewhere but i cant find any info...thanks Ray K.

Chris i purchased some shirts and stuff sunday,came to 15.00 i gave some one a 20 and they gave me back a 10 so after many hours of calculating i figured i owe you 5.00....Ray K.

Mark "Reeljerks"

dont use em as much as i should but some of the old timers still run em on seneca they call em mesquitos,the real name was (WOODCHUCKS) invented by walter allen of corning i have a few might stick one behind a dodger again or skip em on the surface next spring in the olcott area..

Bob,that was only two,or were you talking about getting sick in a derby,or running over those 2 racoons ,or driving into the morning sun going west,or running outa gas at the dock , or getting lost and bothering everyone on the lake asking where am i,or having to coast downhill to get to a gas station in the middle of nowhere..............gotta love his cooking though...mmmm ,,mmmm,

i kinda like my ugly stick broom handle 29.oo bucks at dicks 9.5 ft fished with a 230.00 dollar loomis custom dypsy rod and it suc#ed looked nice but ya wont find one on my boat the heavier rod really comes into play when its bumpy absorbing the heavy pull of the waves and returning a little giving the dypsy that extra kick , the lighter loomis just stayed at a 90deg bend ,flat ,bumpy or fighting fish the rod never flexed much ,,,,but it shure was pretty,,,,might of cost me a big derby fish prefishing the pro/am friday as the only give was the drag no backbone to absorb that sudden pull ,,, go for the stick,,

LIQUID PLUMMER to loosen the bowels ,and drank beer like a IRISH 56.ray started to get a ITCHYBOTTOM, as he was thinking about CHASING TAIL,concerned he might get a SCREAMER he took TIME OUTand pulled pulled on the BIG WEENIE trolling rig much like a HERMIT would do.as they looked at the BLUEWATERS there face got WINDBURN,they looked at eack other saying AREYOUNUTS aimed the LANDINGCRAFT saying to the SLIPBOB, DRAGGINBALLZ all the way in going FLATOUT thats when they realized they were FISHING FOR FUN .. THE END ...........or is it ?

bob probly shouldnt say anything oh what the heck maybe others will learn from his mistakes he doesnt seem to ,as you know tom doesnt keep his salmon he releases them ,you know the guy who hit a curb 2 weeks ago and slid his axel back 12".well today he set free 250' of cable that ugly 10lb weight and his 210.00 dollar down probe boy PETA has to be happy with him.I think i heard him quoting Homer Simpson HOW COME THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO STUPID PEOPLE KEEP HAPPENING TO ME ? dont wanna mention Toms name or FISHERMAN cause it might embare ass him .. So everyone drive with Two eyes open ,and secure your balls before you run..........

sometimes the best shots on a fishing trip arnt on the water there are 2 under her,fri. storm heading our way, some strange boat after i hollard wave if your gay

Nice to meet you too sir, take this bit of advise from some one who has had 3 close calls with death and am goinging over the hill aug 6 th and has seen many of his friends put in the ground well before there time.."Life is short everyday IS a blessing " some people think of nothing of peeing out $15.00 of beer or more at bar prices but get upset over a $15.00 spinny,fly lost.I dont like loosing my stuff specially the last hot spinny on the boat no more than the next guy. had a swivel fail on a new hoochie mama forcing me to change to a diff. spinnie that put us into a double mode to save our butt in the last 45 min saturday.One can be competive and have fun too,dont wait for your close call to realize this everything happens for a reason be optamistic and hope for a good reason....it will be..........Ray K.

that is a common occurance on lamoka and waneta lakes too,(small and shallow also) the locals refer to it as the lake cleaning its self you already know the bad news the fishing stinks too, the good news it dont last long and the bite will get agressive as the lake settels out..congrats on your finish.
