I am starting to get the fishing itch. Does anyone have any information on the status of Rhys Davis cut bait strips? I hope they will be available this season. My supply is getting low!!!

I have used Roemers for many years on both coated and bare cable with no issues. The Roemer does not appear to damage the coated cable or affect the performance of the temp probe.

Kingfish, First of all let me say thanks for being a soldier. You are all heroes in my book. The cut bait program seems to be at a standstill due to the rules governing bait, because of the new invasive virus,VHS. I hope this all shakes out soon, cut bait is by far the best way I have found to target large Kings. Cut bait is generally pre packed and frozen herring strips cut into a pennant shape and inserted into a plastic bait head and trolled behind a large flasher to give it a rolling action. When all other lures(spoons, flies, Etc.) slow down in mid day, cut bait, in my experience continues to catch fish. All the biggest kings I have caught have come on bait. The biggest to date is a 35# pig caught last season on Mexico Bay. I hope this has helped. Mark

I use a device called the Elberta Clip'r . it is spring loaded and attaches to your line anywhere you want it. When a fish hits the spring tension releases and the clip'r slides down to your main lure. I bought them at All Season's in Pulaski. I'll never go back to a free slider again.

I just found out that it is ok to use lastyears cut bait. Check out the Oswego County Tourism web site. According to them the DEC says it is ok to use last years cut bait. www.co.oswego.ny.us/tourism/fishing/index.html and click on fishing conditions. I printed out the page just to have proof if I am stopped.

I have some cut bait(Rhys Davis) left from last season. Is it legal to use it on LO? I find that cut bait is not available from any of the tackle shops in the Watertown/Pulaski area. I really like the bait program and have a ton of Twinkie-Twinkie bait rigs, I hope that I will be able to use up the herring strips that I have.

I have some Rhys Davis cut bait left over from last season. Is it legal to use on LO?
