  1. i heard someone say recently (with regard to the hydrilla in cayuga) that the hydrilla could ruin the bass fishery there. that seems pretty unlikely to me because i grew up bass fishing in texas and the best bass fisheries there were FULL of hydrilla - i mean thick with it (30 fow and you could nearly walk on it). We would not only fish the edges, but use plastic worms with 1 oz weights - drop it right in the stuff and pull out LOTS of 6-9# largemouths (40# line and NO drag) perhaps things are different in a colder climate? i doubt it. I think it's the home owners who don't want it around their docks and water skiers etc who don't like it. I'm not saying they don't have a point, but i do not think hydrilla hurts bass - i think it helps. andre
  2. thank you VERY MUCH!!!
  3. does anyone have the dive curve for Rapala Taildancers (especially the 30' taildancers, but also 20' & 15')? i have the 6th edition of Precision Trolling, but i think that was published before Rapala came out with the Taildancer. if you could post or email me a PDF of any of those dive curves (the 30' is what i want the most), i would really appreciate it! thanks, andre

  5. So i took the laker with the lesions to the region 8 DEC and Pete (forgot his last name) talked to me. I am very disappointed with the whole thing. He said he didn't think it was anything serious, probably a virus with a secondary infection (which manifested as the 3 lesions). I asked him if he'd take the fish to do pathology work on it and he said he wouldn't because they don't have a lab there! I am surprised they wouldn't send it to a lab to determine whether or not it was something serious or not. Let's hope he was correct and it wasn't anything too serious. Gambler - where did you catch the 34# laker? dre
  6. I was fishing Canadice yesterday and caught a 3-4# laker that had 3 nickel-quarter size lesions on it. I fish Seneca a lot, so i know what lamprey marks look like, and i am quite sure these were not from lamprey. I don't have time to post pics at the moment, but i put the fish on ice and am taking it to DEC in a few minutes. 2 sick fish from hemlock and canadice in a few days has me a bit concerned.... dre
  7. why can't they use the old docks? i launch out of woodville a lot and the docks seemed fine to me. I'm glad they extended the ramp, but what was wrong with the docks? dre marquis
  8. which fingerlakes will be involved with the salvation army derby?
  9. Hi all, Last march i purchased Carlisle F78-14ST tires for my 19' Crestliner. They are load range C (up to 1760#). With my kicker, 2 batteries, trolling motor and other gear, i'm sure i'm either pushing or exceeding the load range and my tires show it - major cupping on the insides, and my trailer is in excellent condition (i measured from the tongue to the center of each hub and and difference was 1/8"). my question is what tires have you had good experience with? (i'm quite sure my next set will be load range D, but i have not been able to locate any 14" tires that are D rated). i may be able to switch to 15" tires but i'm not sure. thanks, andre
  10. i am excited about the National Lake Trout Derby, but would also love to fish the Red Cross Derby again. Does anyone know if it will be held this year? andre
  11. thanks for the input. does Hank work at Port Bay Marina and Campground? (that's all i could find on the web) can anyone give me his phone# thanks, andre
  12. I need some work done on my yamaha. Can you recommend a mechanic who is competent with yamaha 4 strokes? thanks, andre

  14. it needs a dredging for sure - i ruined a prop last summer going about 2 mph - hit a pile of rocks
  15. I just spoke with a DEC rep and he told me that the woodville lauch won't be open til April 1 (DEC website originally said it would be done around mid-January). When i asked him why it wasn't finished on time, he said - and i quote: "the cold weather has really set them back." WOW - i moved here from texas 8 years ago and it didn't take me that long to realize it's gets cold here in the winter. As someone who lives near hemlock, woodville is a lot closer than watkins or taughannock. I know the N ramp is open on Canandaigua, but last Feb i caught a lot of lakers in the south end and was hoping to replicate that. Does anyone do well in the N. end of Canandaigua this time of year? andre
  16. no problem Les - thanks for any info you can provide! andre
  17. i suspected that it would be frozen right now - i was more curious about the status of the construction. does anyone know about that? thanks, andre

  19. Has anyone been by the woodville launch recently? Do you know when we'll be able to launch there? thanks, andre
  20. jerktroller - thanks very much for the info HPORT - it never occurred to me that they WEREN"T making the ramp longer. If they do a construction project there and don't do that, it would blow my mind. On the other hand, i guess you never know.... best, andre
  21. Hi all, according to the DEC website the woodville launch closed November 19 (for construction) and will "remain closed for approximately two months." Has anyone been by there recently or know if they are on schedule? thanks, andre
  22. i was hoping to launch out of woodville later this week but drove past there today and it is under some kind of construction. does anyone know 1) what they're doing there and 2) when the ramp is supposed to be ready for use? thanks, andre
  23. i don't have a biomedical background, but i think i would have let that deer pass on by (i shoot only what i know i'll eat). It is likely perfectly safe to eat but nonetheless, i doubt i would have shot that freak! (i prefer my deer with 4 legs) dre
  24. I am interested in your downriggers. Please call me at 319 6570. thanks, andre
