    How do you prove which shipping company is liable? Perhaps an imposed international tarif to compensate states for programs to combat invasive species.

    I don't think it is that simple that the Feds want lakers. They want Atlantics and yet we stock very little on our side. I think it may speak to a bigger issue of getting federal dollars to run our hatchery programs that stock in all our waterways. If NY wanted to reduce laker stocking and favor kings they could but federal dollars would be left on the table. I am sure all lake trout stocked in NY benefit from federal funds so not just a Lake Ontario issue. One issue is they are bound by making decisions based on the scientific data they collect. There is no foresight as to looking at future weather patterns. With alewife survival in Lake Ontario water temps are one of the biggest determiner of survival and size of the hatch of YOY. For every sixteen degrees in water temp the productivity of the plankton community doubles. I would like to see the DEC use weather projections as part of the formula determining stocking numbers.

    Throw out some jointed J-13 firetiger Rapalas on leadcore. Sutton spoons will troll down to slow speeds also.

    We are not going to have an alewife deficiency. We are more likely in the coming years to go back to too many alewives

    There is only one way to reach 30 lbs in three years and that is to eat nonstop anything and everything

    A couple of years ago I started running 6" Tomic spoons to reduce shaker catch and injury. To date I have not caught any shakers on them although I did take a 18" coho this spring on one shop.tomiclure.com

    Ya but you only catch small fish Jason

    i keep mine together but if you have to break th rod down you separate the rod and put the tip end against the butt end while keeping tension on the wire. Secure the rod pieces with wraps or rubber bands

    The majority of baitfish in the system right now are made up of adult alewives and they are beginning to flood the inshore waters. If I had to pick a bait that best mimics what is happening out there for the king bite I would pick a magnum sized spoon.

    Attach new cable to the old with duct or electrical tape and pull the old cable. The new cable will go with it unless you have zip ties bundling everything.

    Strip off enough coating off cable. Complete wire-line knot (same one you use for dipsys) onto a blacks release. Cover connection with electrical tape. I use a 3' section of cable below the probe down to the cannonball so when I stop the release while bringing up the rig, the cannonball stays under water lessening the chances it bounce-snaps off in waves. As others have stated you may have to bite the bullet and unspool all the wire to make sure where it enters the spool the coating is off that small section. Take the rigger down to a school playground and walk off all the wire, strip some coating off and reinstall. Your cable will want to loop off the spool causing major headaches so keep cable under tension coming off and going on. Either get someone to help you or attach end swivel to a fence or tree.

    Yep the long thicker cable transmits the signal. They come in a two pack so you get a back up cable also. The sending cable and smaller cable with spiral antenna lose continuance over time and stop transmitting.

    Rick I noticed the wet wrap on cable. I was doing similar "fixes" then went to radio shack and bought a new RCA cable and solved the reception problem. Cheap fix

    I would gladly invite myself on your boat. Nice rig!

    This may contain more micromanagement than you wanted but I use 19 strand torpedo wire on my high divers because it is thicker increasing resistance therefore separation from my low divers which has 7 strand wire. I have tried all brands out there and the softest wire I have found is Malin but the differences are minut.

    Hehehe. 10 color refers to using 10 colors of leadcore weighted line to get your bait down about 40'. 7 colors about 28' down. They do not refer to colors of lures. Our evolved fishing lingo is like a second language. Chicken wing is a black and orange pattern usually on a gold blank spoon. You are at the right place to ask questions. Oops I see someone beat me to it.

    Those deep marks could be lakers but just as likely kings coming out of their deep winter pattern. They can be maddening trying to get deep kings to bite as they feed in spurts. You could troll over them 10 times with nothing to show for it but on the 11th time some rods go off

    Wow I thought I have boat projects! Nice work Rod

    A peeping-Tom with binoculars......Yankee with the gf at the back door while fishing around the humps?? I thought this was a family-friendly site!

    Full moon I sleep in and target 10:00 am - 2:00 pm same as hunting whitetail bucks

    It is easy to drive over fish to find fish. There is a lot of bait already shallow in 30-50'.
