Tall Tails

If it were me and I was shore fishing the hotel side of the Oswego should still be holding fish.....

Left actually about 12 miles to the left. It is 4 mile east of the niagara river. I would imagine with the HEAVY norhwest wind we are going to recieve the next 2 days the fish maybe spread out to Wilson or beyond!

Lets see the pic!! I was in Olcott all weekend and didnt hear anything about it.....

From what I heard this weekend in Mexico Bay the south wind Friday night took all the color away. I had heard they smoked them friday, and it was everyyhing they could do to generate a bite on Saturday. With the lake blowing northwest this week hopefully it will set back up again with some color. In that case where the water is clear dont hesitate to move out to some depper water maybe 30 to 40 and put your rigs on the bottom. A lot of times BT's will slide out a bit when the shore water is Gin Clear. Brian

I had Roy in the boat as well!! LMAO!! Pete if the "Princess" is Happy Everybody on Board is Happy!!!! She was excited to catch all the fish on Saturday!!

Seriously you Red dock guys gotta put a am team together for the Pro-Am! I have no doubt you could get Crown Royal or Labatts to sponsor you!!!! Heck you could save your emptys up from the month of may and the deposit money would more than cover you expenses The Red Dock Rockers!!! HHMMM that may sound more like a Rock band than a fishing team! Your reputation precedies you guys!!

That sucks!!!

Well we ran the boat down on Friday morning, it ran fantastic. We got into Olcott went and had some lunch, then we went out with Dave B and the always charming Andrea!! Dave and I needed to work the bugs out and stop feeling like we had 2 left hands in the back of the boat! Sorry no pics of the first trip. We ended up running to 4 mile and getting set up. The 3rd rod down went off and it was the first king of the year!!! Feeling like we were getting it together we finished setting up and we took 2 more kings in an hour and a half. We dropped one on the copper all the rest came on the riggers. All spoons, the fish didnt hit same thing twice. Saturday morning- We rolled out of the Marina in the new Tall Tails boats first spring trip of 2010. Again feeling good about the previous evenings trip we ran to 4 mile and set up. The East wind was coming and we knew it would change things, and it did!! It took us an hour to get our first bite. It was a Coho, then we took a few lakers. We changed the program up a bit and took the attractors out of the water, no sooner did I do that the kings started coming!! This was our first clipped king of the year! Notice no adipose fin. He came 55 down over 65 on a Warrior Carmel dolphin. Got set back up and we doubled on 300 coppers king on one side laker on the other. We dropped the king The water was changing fast with East wind as it always does. The fish were on there way back to Canada. We trolled a bit more caught some more lakers and coho's then we took this guy. An 18pd King. All our bites were 55 and 60 down over 75 to 85 ft of water. All Warrior mag spoons. Huge Bait in the stomachs of the Coho's and NOTHING in the kings at all. Gonna be a MAG spoon kinda year!!!!!!!! It was getting snotty and we had a 14 mile run home so we left and went and got lunch. It was nice to work the bugs out and put some kings in the boat! We will be there for 10 days starting Sat for the LOC, Pay Every Day Derby and the Scotty if you are in Olcott stop over and say hello!!

Shade, How was your trip? I came down friday, it was a little lumpy when I pulled out of Sodus the first 25 miles was a little bumpy but all in all a great trip. I got some great fuel numbers on my boat. I burned 70 gallons in 76 miles or 20 gallons an hour with both engines at 3350. That works out to 10 gallons an hour per motor at 24 miles an hour. Not bad for a pair of Holly Carb 305 Volvo's. I was very impressed at the lack of Debris!! I passed maybe 3 things that could hurt a boat. The best was a 55 gallon drum floating just under the surface! It made a nice bird perch! I would say there is hardly anything out there right now!!! Brian

Nice fish! Who the heck showed you how to hold them for a picture!

I dont know the numbers off the top of my head. I have a map on my GPS and my Olcott way point preset. Sorry!

I am doing the same trip tomorrow. I have done this a lot. You should expect a gallon a mile or so just keep your engines cruising so your 4 barrels are not open. At 3000 rpm you should be fine. It is a 73 mile trip give or take. So about 73 gallons of fuel. This is a great oportunity for you to figure out your fuel burn. Start full and record your hour meter. Then fill when you arrive. Most of all just relax and enjoy the Lake and how big it is. Boats are made to run you will be impressed by the time you arrive. I will run my twin 305's at 3300 or 24-26 nmph, you will pickup speed as you burn off fuel. It is 73 miles if you follow your GPS, if you follow the shoreline it will be much longer as you will want to cut off Rochester and run straight. It is also a good idea to leave a float plan with somebody, time you leave, and an ETA once you get up and running. It will take me about 3.5 hrs dock to dock. I like it better from Sodus then when I leave from Mexico Pt at 123 mile run! Good Luck and be Safe! Let us know how you made out. Brian

Great Pic!! Smiles say it all!! This year with all the Atlantics around lets not forget they have to be 25" to keep! We have a total release policy on Atlantics in our boat this year.

Us jersey guys pride ourselves on being able to peel paint off a wall with just a few choice words You havent fished with Marlene in late August enough yet! She would make even you Jersey boys blush!

I sent an email.

Awesome ride Vince! Congrads!! Paul is right its not going to be the same watching you pull out of the harbor in the morning in the blue and black rain suit, without a cloud in the sky!!

SOLD pending payment!

Jon Reimann is the lead enviromental coodinator for AES, this is very disappointing..... Wish I could say more but I can't

I didnt recieve that PM

Yes I do they are still available. They are an older sealine but they function just fine.

Give Tim a call at Krenzers marine in Sodus Pt. He has a lot of boats for sale and the service is second to none. 315 747 9942 I am sure after this coming sunday there will be more Fish reports! Keep an eye on the new tweets section that is going to start tomorrow on here as there will probably be some reports taking place...

Listing for a friend- 2 47 LC Diawa's for sale. Clickers work, drags work. 40.00 each plus shipping Or Best Offer! PM me for details Brian

Bill, I wasnt trying to slam Diawa, just will be waiting with baited breath to see them stand up to a Wire fish in May and an inexperienced charter customer. I will bet you dinner the reel will bind with the fast gear ratio and wire. (I want you to be honest with me.)Everybody is excited about the new gear ratios my concern is will there be the stopping power of a high gear ratio reel. My bet will be not enough when it comes to wire setups. Now I am being specific because I think the problem will arise on the wire. Riggers- I think they will work out just fine with mono. I know they work great with cores but again there is a lot of forgiveness in core and copper setups. I was just saying guys should talk to the people who repair all types of reels on a daily basis. From what I am hearing Diawa still has a way to go to equal Shimano. I was trying to avoid saying that earlier. And hey I was in the market for new Diver reels and I looked at all of the manufacturers and was turned off the Diawa by the guys in the business who repair them. See you at the dock this weekend!

Give Chris a call at St. Peters Outfitters in Oswego. He fixes reels on a daily basis and will give you the scoop. He sells all companys so there is no bias but interesting what he has to say about each manufacturer and the way things are built. His top sellers are Shimano and Okuma. I myself have switched to Shimano diver reels, they are absolutly the best drag system on the market without putting the compettion drags in, but if you spend the 35 bucks on the competion drags you will have the best dipsy diver reel on the planet!! And I am an big okuma fan!!! I will still run Okumas everywhere else on the boat except big coppers. I have upgraded all my 45 and 55 okuma reels to 6.1/1 ratios and all new okuma tourney drags!!! I am working on getting a very large levelwind okuma reel upgraded to a larger gear ratio. You can spool 600ft of copper on these badboys with room to spare For the money in a side by side comparison it is Shimano all over the Diawa, but now we have the old Chevy Ford discussion to each his own.
