  1. Congratulations Brian. đź‘Ť See you in Olcott!
  2. Anyone else notice high flying geese flying/migrating westbound? Not sure if this is a pattern/route change from traditional pathways?

  4. Any of you that purchased these after my post and then tried them, quickly realized that with the swivels present on these units cause them to unwind the twists placed in the fishing line prior to placing the line in the release. I think I solved the problem with a little cheap reengineering with binding wire.
  5. I noticed that since Gibbs bought Michigan Stinger, they are not contracting with Protroll. They seem lighter and there is no echip.

    Board releases

    I use Weldon’s pad releases. They may be under a different name now. Put them on a metal dog snap and they shoot down the line no matter the wind speed
  7. It is not as simple as you make it out to be. During the spring derby, the predators are super concentrated in Niagara County. If you polled the rest of the lake at that time you might hear that there are no fish in the lake. Compare Lake Michigan stocking figures to Lake Ontario. Lake Michigan has always outpaced Ontario in stocked salmon and trout.
  8. Two single masts will reach up high and make your boards perform better.
  9. 2012 was the last time I caught a fish over 30 lbs.
  10. 2018 was when we had that incredible 2 year old bite. 2016 was a mild winter and record hatch of alewives
  11. I think the smelt are loving the mud plume. I think you will see an uptick in smelt. I think you will see a great looking class of two year old kings that have been able to feed up all winter on YOY. Surface temps that I believe are recorded 30’ down are showing 39 degrees offshore. Kings actively feeding all winter might balance out any gains in alewife stocks.
  12. Wow! That is spring-like. Smallies don’t bite in the winter.
  13. The first wave of starlings showed up in my yard this weekend. Today I saw a Robin.
  14. PM sent
  15. First visit to Rattlesnake WMA Sunday. Two birds flushed in about three hours. Great day to be out but the same theme of low bird numbers continues
  16. Zach, how does someone sign up for the event and what is the cut off date? Thanks.
  17. It is a tough business! What I am hearing…… -Bayrat lures are shutting down (maybe they will sell to another?). Can anyone confirm this? -Northport Nailer. Best paint job in the business IMO. The owner says they are selling down the rest of their stock as they are heading towards retirement. -luhr Jensen J-plugs….forget about it. -Silver Horde plugs….good luck finding them in the color you want -R&R …..has there been any Dave Wilczak sightings?
  18. Any rules on what port you must leave from?
  19. I will add this one to the lists
  20. Crap!!!! I loved big Dave!
  21. If it is super muddy, fish can’t see your bait. You may have to slide East to find good water color.
  22. It’s been a muddy mess all winter since 70 mph wind and 30’ wave event before Christmas. I hope it clears by spring.
