    NOAA offers bottom water temp readings so that could only mean one thing......an underwater buoy.

    Nick, PM sent. Team Gill-T Hooker would like to partake.

    What he said, but you will need the Blacks release with the clasp still attached so the release is fixed. Just add a downrigger swivel to attach the downrigger ball.

    Look at the picture at the top. You dip half of the clasp in the material and let it harden. Once hardened you take a razor blade and slice a slit in the material.

    Nice shooting boys.

    I don't know if they found that boat and boater that went missing out of Wilson last year or two ago.

    Those type of products can be reproduced by dipping a clasp in liquid tool rubberized and letting it harden. Make a slit in the rubber for your main line to fit into.

    I thought Cuomo banned your six shooter?

    They can get 12"-15". They exploded on the scene with the warm decade as we are on the northern edge of their range. I noticed the last two winters really knocked them down. This spring I did not see any in Olcott Harbor.

    Yes I have had multiple law enforcement officers,on this site and elsewhere, offer to help. The serial number is in the system.

    I have not been out recently, but.....a NW blow will move fish from the bar towards Olcott so you should have good fishing. Start setting lines at 50' and troll out until you hit fish. The temp break on the Niagara plume is around 220' so that is probably as deep as you want to go. Fish are anywhere in the water column right now from the surface to 80' down so put stuff everywhere. Mornings fish are usually higher playing in the 50 degree water so get your leadcore out. Start your divers out short 80-90 back and bleed them out as needed. Still mostly a spoon bite, but later in the morning start sprinkling in more flashers/flies. A good rigger depth to start is 30-50' down with cheaters.

    Look at the shift cable or shift assist switch. Also if you set your idle RPMs too high.

    Never done it. You need a specific type of caulk to reseal the motor if you take it off and I can't remember what type. Really it is less trouble to unwind it in a park or school. If you are going to Olcott just drive to Krull park and unwind it. It will take you 5 minutes to perform and no can of worms.

    I tried it. I never had a problem with breakage but I didn't like the stiffness as it coiled easier than Malin. I do use the AFW downrigger cable and like it.

    Drive down to a school soccer field after-hours and unwind the whole thing out and wind it back on towing a 5 lb weight lifting plate across the grass.

    Did you spool your wire on backwards? Don't ask me how I know .
  18. Gill-T
    Not sure why you would part with most of those? Good baits.
  19. Gill-T
    Fleas are usually never bad out of Olcott. June you should be fine. ( I just jinxed it)

    Why in the world after spending all that money on gear, trolling around waiting to do battle with a beast.......want the fight to be over sooner?
  21. Gill-T
    The walleye bite has exploded. Shine your light on your favorite bar or reef and you will see eyes everywhere. They are even chasing fish with a lure in it's mouth trying to get the bait like smallmouth do. Crazy stuff happening right now.
  22. Gill-T
    Yep. Always a good play to check the plume location before going this time of year.

    I was out this evening out of Olcott for about 1.5 hrs solo checking on some equipment repairs. Found a blank screen also. Clear water coming inside from a east current and pushing the green water west and deeper. I would not waste your time out front if anyone is going out tomorrow.
  24. Gill-T
    Or get some otter boats and stop worrying about if your board is going to dive. Fishing is not suppose to be stressful.
  25. Gill-T
    I always try to troll into a down current. Your spoons are more likely to be kicking and you save on gas.
