Hi all, i need more of the type of crimp you see in the attached photo. Does anyone know where i can get them? (preferably by order; i'd rather not drive far for them). Or, does anyone have a few extra they would sell and ship to me? thanks, andre

Chuck, i have a pair of Walkers (i think they are trollmasters) spooled with wire. I'll sell the pair for $100 andre

you might want to check out the attached article; those may be tumors. According to the article, tumors of the lateral line/lateral line syndrome were common (21% of mature and 8% of immature lake trout) in 4 fingerlakes (owasco, seneca, canandaigua, cayuga) between 1985-1994. dre cancer in fingerlakes trout.pdf

Hey Alec! glad you had such an awesome day and that things are looking up this year! best, dre

Absolutely fantastic - Congratulations!!! dre

hey Les, looks like a golden shiner to me too, but i had no idea they could get that large. You probably threw back a world record! dre

Hi all, My buddy and i made our first trip of the year sunday. Due to the cold weather and it being our first time out this year, we didn't get lines out til 9a (which allowed a few other boats to have broken the ice for us - literally). Surface temps never exceeded 34.5 (we didn't go too far N. of the salt plant) and the bite was slow. Boxed a 21" laker at 12:30 and landed a few undersize LLs (one was down 240"). Boxed an 18" laker at 5:30 and my buddy suggested calling it a day. i had pulled in all but my downrigger rod and had just said "5 more minutes" when this 9# brown hit my cheater (ball was down about 160, so about 80' down). A great way to end my first trip of the year! dre

what were the surface water temps around the plant (out of watkins)? thanks, dre

in particular, the spots on the body are spread out so differently on these 2 fish...

Hi all, this pic just came up on my screen saver and it doesn't look like the other King pics i have (compare it to the second photo). It doesn't really look like a landlocked to me, but it also looks different than a lot of the kings i've caught. thanks for your input, dre

Good luck out there tomorrow! I'd really appreciate a report, dre

I'm hoping to fish from my boat for the first time in 2015! Any updates are appreciated, dre

i know a guy who actually sits in his boat watching his fishfinder in simulation mode!!! Now that's needing a fix in a bad way! dre

Hey Les, That's a beautiful mixed catch. I am jonesin for some fresh fish! Way to stick it out...glad you got rewarded for it! dre

With the warmer weekend, i was thinking about hitting Canandaigua out of Onanda. Then it occurred to me that, like last year, it may be frozen. Can anyone confirm or refute that? thanks, dre

speaking of soft plastics and other weird things in lake trouts' stomachs, my buddy and i fished canadaigua out of woodville about 2 weeks ago. Marked ZERO bait and only a few fish, but managed to boat 4 lakers. This salamander and large front body of a soft plastic were in a 6 lb laker's stomach. Caught the fish down 180 - are those salamanders that deep? Can anyone tell me anything more about the salamader? dre

Thanks everyone! dre

oops, i thought the pic was attached. it is now thanks, dre
