    Some boats use outriggers to move dipsys out wider using Aftco roller releases. During roll-overs when the fish are up high or trolling J-plugs off piers in the fall they can come in handy. I have no use for them.

    After handling a new model Browning A-5 and thinking what a piece of junk, I walked over to the used gun side and bought a Belgian-made Browning A-5 with a date stamp from 1957. I have always wanted an A-5 so I was stoked to find one in mint condition. So here is the problem.....I am reading that I should not shoot steel shot thru the modified barrel. The other problem....its 2 3/4" so finding non-toxic loads like hevi-shot are not easy to come by in that length shell. Questions I have are which are a better brand Hevi-shot vs Kent Tungston matrix? If I only shoot waterfowl 2 or 3 times a year, could I just shoot steel shot without worry about damage?

    I think I have the wheels turning in the brains of a few people.

    So I am sort of getting back into duck/goose hunting after a long hiatus (25 years). I have noticed ducks and more-so Geese will circle just out of range of a spread. Question....would it be legal to find a tree and use a climber to get up off the ground to close the gap?......might be fun.

    I assume the UV glow is UV over glow? Thanks for stocking tape!

    There is no fix for a soft transom other than replacement.
  8. Gill-T
    You need to have a transom plate or in the very least large fender washer support with a lock nut to hold. My guess is when you tried to go to a larger bolt, the nut fell off the bolt. DO NOT USE SCREWS TO SUPPORT ANYTHING WITH FIBERGLASS......everything should be bolted if there is any load on the item.

    Lots of geese around Iroquois refuge.

    You could find rental cottages in Hanover Bay on the Cattaurgus. It has restaurants, bars and beaches. Fishing includes bass in the shallows off the beach club, perch beds out in 40-60' out front, and walleye esp. starting in July.

    It is very easy to blow out deer on your 50 acres if wind direction/ entry and exit points are not planned correctly. There is more to attracting deer than just planting food plots as it doesn't take deer long to take a walk and visit them during nocturnal hours from neighboring areas if they know you are there. Hinge-cutting some bedding areas away from entry/exit points would help. Also, I think if you have a neighboring fruit farmer who is having trouble with deer I would be knocking on his door to gain permission.

    Hook up is better because you can use a bigger hook. As with hooking and landing kings you will find stock hooks don't hold up. To balance the bait using only one hook on the rear, you can add additional split rings or cotter pins or trebles with the hook points removed on the front hook locations.

    Right.....I am saying I am agreeing with their usage of the term "reasonable" in the spirit of the law as it pertains to the boater needs to make a reasonable effort to remove cling-ons. I do that now anyway.

    Common theme I see here...dark colors.

    There is no way to drain large ocean-going vessels ballast water completely or sanitize it. Legal wording to the effect of "reasonable" attempt to remove plant matter from the boat before transporting should be used. I am picturing my boat as it comes out of Olcott harbor coated with Duck Weed.......no way to get all that stuff off underneath the carpet bunks and boat bottom interface. A pipe dream.

    What is the protocol for hunting on the Canadian side with border patrol?
  18. Gill-T
    Unique deer! Those points on the right look like turkey feet. Lots of big deer shot outside of opening day this year.

    My Tekotas have been excellent. My Saltists have been excellent. The only reason I prefer the tekotas for wire is the lower gear ratio for bringing in those big wire kings, perhaps a little more gentle with the slower uptake. The line counters on the saltist do jab into the forearm more than other reels. Both quality made.

    Stay in Buffalo. Get a slip at Erie Basin Marina or Smallboat Harbor.

    For wire I like the slower, smoother, cheaper Shimano Tekota. I have numerous saltists also.

    Hawks have always been around. The problem in your situation is a learned pattern of easy prey. At a rod and gun club in Lewiston there are a pair of hawks that have learned how to work together to kill pheasants in their nets/pens. One bird swoops down and scares the pheasants into flight and as they flap against the overhead netting, the second hawk swoops down and cuts their heads off. Seems to me if you have a problem bear or wolf or whatever you can get a permit or warden action to kill the nuisance critter so why not hawks?

    I would say that the standard meat rig leader lengths are not as long as some would like. Perhaps offer longer three-fly meat rigs? Love the custom idea. I think you will sell plenty of tackle that weekend.
