  1. She looks loaded with eggs
  2. almost the size of a paddle, see if you can get your hands on some 6.5" Big 'Ern spoons next time you are up in Canada. Bright colors like a fire tiger will work. Short wave tackle in Port Credit has some. Closest spoon to those are the Tomic 6" spoon and the Northport nailer super mag 5.5"
  3. Hell no not complaining. I hate using the stinky stuff that costs an arm and a leg
  4. I have yet to catch a fish on cut bait this year. Sushi flies I can get them on but bait heads.......notta
  5. Take them off and don't look back
  6. 2013 was last of clipping according to DEC website so 4 year olds next year will be last
  7. Finally seeing the rare clipped pen fish
  8. Nice work. Were you on the drop off or between Wilson?
  9. A lot of what you are seeing there on that graph is thermocline/plankton blooms.
  10. Sorry buddy, wife got wind of me not fishing and decided a new agenda for my time tomorrow. Keep an eye on those storms to the West.
  11. My crew crapped out on me also
  12. 290' out on a standard dipsy you are about 75' down. Mag dipsy will put you to almost 100'. I would say that does not qualify as super deep in the world of salmon
  13. It's the derby leader on LOC. 33 + lbs. kudos for posting details of catch and good luck on the payday
  14. Twice this year upon boating a King on Ontario and recheck my fluoro fly leader, I noticed my cinch knot had slipped to the point I was lucky I didn't loose the fish. The tag end of knot was pulled flush to the main knot. I think the stiffer nature of fluoro causes relaxation in the cinching over time where mono really cranks down on itself comparatively. Now these were knots that may have been tied two years ago so it might be good practice to either retie over time/usage or at least grab a pair of pliers, wet the knot and pull the tag end to retighten fluoro periodically.
  15. Sorry for your loss. Prayers sent.
  16. Buying new is a HORRIBLE investment regarding what you will receive back when you sell it. Worse than cars. Buy at the bottom of the value curve, put a little sweat equity into her and you can sell to a new owner similar to what you payed for it.
  17. Take a look at the Penn Yan 245 for sale in classified section.
  18. Combat trolling = Downriggers, mag dipsys, thumper rigs. Keep it close.
  19. Nice restoration job. Looks great. I have same boat ( I think 23' ?)and have redoing everything over the years.
  20. You ever wonder why you don't catch shakers inshore in Niagara County in the spring despite warmer temps starting mid-April? They don't dare swim in the Laker zone!
  21. Show off!! Hey Brian do you have that picture of the 16" King in the stomach of a laker from Keating you could post?
  22. I gave you the info you need. Give the guy a call. Tonawanda is outside of Buffalo.
  23. Esgdirect is supplying parts and servicing subtrolls. The guy is local in Tonawanda. I picked up cable from his house yesterday.
  24. Jerry are you thinking the fish are not there because of conditions (which seems optimal given hard bottom) or because of where they are stocked? If they are not dispersing lakewide as you would think then perhaps we should be talking less about Lake Trout cuts and more about moving stocking locations to other side of the pond to take predation pressure off our pen fish? Why would they choose sand bottom over rock when everything we have been told is they like hard bottom structure? To me it is a bait distribution issue as to why they are on our shore. If the even distribution issue can't be remedied them I am for cutting lake trout stocking.
