    I used to run 17 LB monel wire on a baitcaster with bottom bouncers on trips to Nipissing in Canada. Could feel every rock and never got hung up. Might be a good application for that rock pile!

    Above and beyond the Chicago water-way barrier, I was thinking about the effects on the clean-up of Eighteen Mile Creek, the Lake Trout/Atlantic Salmon programs, the resistance to wind-power generators in Lake Ontario, the research funding for the USGS-Kaho ship, etc etc. Agreed, I hope they go to work on the 20 trillion dollar deficit. All the talk about increase in military spending and building the wall, one of the single biggest threat to our country is our inability to fund a war if needed. Pain will be felt by all.

    If you are looking for shoreline brown trout reels, then the Diawa Sealines can be had new for $60.

    Some thoughts on termination of small baits Yes, it happens every year. I show up to the pier at Olcott two weeks early because I just need to get a feel for how far away from boat season is. Yes.....too early for bait to show up. Yes.....I thought there might be a chance to pop a fish with the front coming thru. Yes......I got soaked. Yes.....I got skunked. It was not a complete loss as I was able to check my bait action pier-side. Typically I use a Duolock snap for all my spring trolling rods. I noticed at the pier that the action on my small Renosky and Junior Thunderstick baits was horrible with a duolock. Direct tie to the split ring yielded markedly better action.

    Had high hopes for Saturday but it looks like I will have to play it safe and hit the pier instead. Remember gents the water is cold this time of year. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/olcott-ny/14126/weather-warnings/2128249

    1.8 mph in spring for browns and lakers. If kings are on the graph I pump it up to 2-2.25 depending on water temp and mood of fish. Then you have to match the speed to the baits you are running. If you run an NK 28 with a treble at 1.8 mph, you will be washing lures for a long time.

    So if the pink stuff is good enough for pvc to not crack then I would think it would not crack metal engine parts either. I have been using the pink stuff for 10 years ( knock on wood)

    So perhaps the workflow for winterization should be. Warm engine ---- Drain Petcocks-----Apply antifreeze thru muffs. Thanks for posting....very informative.

    I hear you Pap. Nothing like seeing brown movement, putting the gun up only to find an idiot in full brown Carhart in your scope. Scary when it happens.

    It tells me there is not much suspended activity in a river. All bottom oriented.

    Giant mud puppy! People wonder what a worm harness looks like to predator like a walleye and I usually reply a mudpuppy. On East wind roll-overs on Erie they wash up on shore in droves.

    My guess is night hunting will go bye-bye. After the horse shooting incident in Livingston County last year, it seems like a good idea

    What?....,Olcott harbor dirty?
  22. Gill-T
    Sorry to hear about the lost rod. Any bait in the harbor?
  23. Gill-T
    Yes, down below town at yacht club. Park up top across from exit in town (slight left then right out of exit).

    Boat tarp is off. Rods rigged. Just need the winds to cooperate and the road salt to be gone for next weekend.
