    The method is using either a blacks release with the braid thru the clip but not twisted or an aftco roller release. Place diver in water next to boat, clip line in release, send release to end of outrigger, reset your linecounter and send it back.

    The DEC does do investigations of public markets. They bust a lot of people around NYC selling Striped Bass. Call it in. They have 2-4 officers per area that encompasses many counties, they need everyone's tips.

    Middle of the lake is still 47 degrees. https://www.glerl.noaa.gov//res/glcfs/glcfs.php?lake=o&ext=vwt&type=N&hr=00

    Probably Gizzard Shad. Place a call to the DEC to report die-off and they will investigate. Hopefully not chemical. Typically, Gizzard Shad fall prey to disease from stress of cold water conditions. We are at the northern extent of their range. They are also carriers of VHS virus and with the stress of the cold, the virus takes over and overwhelms their bodies.

    I believe they are being made in china now. Their legendary value is now in question. Taloras are made with the same process but with better components.

    Dennis, the fleas on Lake O are never bad where I fish in Niagara County waters because the water coming down the Niagara from Erie is relatively flea-poor, however, I have fished Oswego area during the height of flea-season and I can understand fleas may be a concern. There are plenty of charter captains using braid out of Oswego.

    I have read that Best Chance Too crew uses the 00 size quite a bit but there is very little internet info on them. I am not afraid to use big baits for Lakers, in fact my spoon size in the early spring is 5.5"-6", but the spin-and-glow or peanut bait is more of a small morsel pattern......the 00 size is a BIG morsel. If they don't hit well I can always put them in the middle of a fly leader as an added "mesmerizer".

    Hemlocks take more energy to digest than energy gained by consuming the material.

    I recently purchased some 00 size spin-and-glows (2"). I generally like to support local tackle shops but some stuff you need to go looking online for. The benefit of seeing the tackle in your hand helps in the selection process. Seeing a 00 size two inch spin-and-glow in my hand I have to wonder if they are too big? Anyone have any experience with the bigger size for Lake Ontario lakers?

    If you are skilled at slide divers you are all set. Don't over think it. Now with the mag weight kit you can reach the same fish as dipsys.

    Yes and to a lesser degree so do southern tier deer. They need browse and will go wherever that browse is.

    Based on your avatar, you definitely don't look like Tiffany.

    Mine is off 10' with 100' out

    Good and bad. The good......Wilson will enjoy better staging and pier fishing. The bad....we take 10,000 fish out of Niagara county waters, black salmon swimming around Wilson Harbor, and less fish in the Olcott and Niagara runs.

    AFW green. Shaped like flea flicker line so it doesn't collect as many spiny critters

    That is what I call a bully cull buck. Shoot 'em!

    I would direct you to previous discussions on this thread topic as you may find the info you seek. Some thoughts... Yes fleas will stick to it but braid is soft on hands so during flea outbreaks you run the braid thru your fingers while raising the weight and as it wads up you pause the rigger and give it a twang to flick them off the cable. Not too much of a hassle IMO. You need to use a fishhawk probe system if you are going entirely to braid otherwise you will hybridize your rigger spread with coated cable on speed and temp and braid on everything else. There is zero point to only putting braid on one rigger and normal steel cable on everything else as the main reason for going to braid is stealth noise reduction. Coated cable does not seem to hum like straight steel cable. Worry about lost probes with braid cable is unfounded. IMO probes are lost mainly because people weaken their systems with crimps and due to the lack of stretch in steel cable will precipitate momentum accidents. You have more give with braid cable and the knots tied in termination.

    Les, your perch are probably feeding deep on the invasive shrimp species that are in the lakes now.

    Jimski, you are behind by about 10 years. Lake Huron is not news. Lake Ontario is not the same lake nutrient-wise compared to Huron. Also, the mussels have maxed out and are on a slight decline. Lake Ontario has weathered the storm.
