Hey guys, For his high school senior engineering class project, my son is proposing designing and building a device that mounts to your swin platform to hold your cooler in place without the use of bungee cords. Part of the project is to conduct a survey to collect level of interest and desire on features. Would you mind helping him out? Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/a/ga.hiltoncsd.net/forms/d/1VC6rIcs86Fr95CBeZHJrmYIOvG8upsLadSMMM2pUWcU/viewform Thanks! JAM

Ditto for Braddocks today. 63 deg water all the way to the bottom out to 175. This season certainly has been tough! JAM Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

SOLD.

Good job. Same story Sunday morning (early before the NE wind started around 11). Also got a couple steelies in the next larger class 11-12 lbs. They're there! JAM

I have two perfect Mag 10 riggers with rotating bases and single rear rods holders for sale. One is spooled with coated wire for your Moor Subtroll or Depth Raider. First $500 takes them. 585-705-3556.

Call Todd at Ranse's Canvas - 585-739-8730.

Don't forget the classics for steelies: Orange Crush and Greasy Chicken Wing in standard (28) size... JAM

Hi Vetting, What you're experienceing with your Convectors sounds like what I've only had with the Coldwater. I've never had ANY drag issues with the Convectors or Clarions. Go figure... JAM

I like the F-11 in Gold and Silver, and the J-9 in Gold/Flouro Red. JAM

Hey Brian, Yeah, that's the thing about Okuma... guys either love em or hate em. I have had great success with the Convertor 30-D for wire dispys and 45-D for leadcores. Never ever had an issue, and feel they are smooth, nice loud clickers and great handles. The big Clarions (553-LS) are awesome for 500 coppers too. Big, smooth, and fast. The Coldwaters are a different story. I ran a 303-D as a wire dipsy last season and will not buy another. I can't ever seem to get the drag set just at the edge of holding. I hear there is a 'free' upgrade to fix that, but I haven't looked into it. Anyone know the details? JAM

Save yourself a hundred bucks and use an Okuma CV45-L. Perfect 10 color leadcore reel. $62.99 at northwoodsoutlet.net. JAM

Kevin, I think braid would not be a good choice for a couple reasons: 1. fleas 2. Cannon short stop would not work I'll probably just use the Scotty bright silver cable. JAM

Haha! WWGD? Kevin, you're right! Donate it to the lake!!!

Here's one for the "thinking about way too much detail" crowd... I'm replacing the coated cable on my probe rigger since I have an X4 on the Christams list this year. I noticed Scotty cable is bright silver and Cannon cable is camo brown. Do any of you think there is a difference in which might spook fish, attract fish, etc. My corner riggers are Cannons and have the brown camo. I have a spool of the Scotty bright silver but thought I'd ask opinions before I use it. thanks, JAM

Fill it with 30 lb mono which is fat enough to keep most of the fleas off. I use Big Game. Then add a 20 lb fluorocarbon leader. JAM

Here's a schedule. http://www.seatechmarinetraining.com/schedule.html There is one starting in Rochester this weekend. JAM
