  1. Caught in Maine. Fresh or saltwater or estuary?
  2. Definitely not an Emerald
  3. If you haven’t already, introduce yourself to Tim Nelson of ECK Intimidator Sports. He has the Baha named Intimidator. He owns a gun store and can hook you up if needed.
  4. Good luck 👍. God save any grumpy charter captains that try to claim “their” turf by crossing over your lines. Just wear your muscle shirt around deck and people will leave you alone lol.
  5. Cool 😎. Looks like the weather next week will set up the start of my season. I noticed overnight the robins have come back. Great to hear birds again.
  6. I ordered mine and will report the results
  7. Hell I even change the oil myself!
  8. Cohos show up in the spring when the emerald shiners move in. Two things to look for : one, look for a school of bait that looks like a bunch of little dots on your fishfinder. These usually present in the upper 1/3 of the water column towards the end of March in 30-70’ fow in Niagara County. Those are emeralds and there will be cohos around them. Second, look for diving Terns. Terns can only feed on small bait. Where there are terns, there is small bait and potentially cohos. This scenario can take place anywhere but usually near the shoreline. Cohos don’t really need anything special. Your spring brown spread will have plenty of coho catching capability. If I sense cohos are around, I will add a orange z-dodger and fly to my shoreline spread off a rigger or add a mini spin doc and fly for the deeper bite.
  9. The upper engine goes early. Something about the valve lifters and increase in oil consumption. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/12/general-motors-v8-engine-valve-lifter-lawsuit-claims-recall-is-needed/amp/
  10. Made in the USA now, my next truck will be a Toyota! I was told we will soon see suburbans reaching $$ six figures in cost. So many stupid sensors that end up failing on theses vehicles. Belts and bulbs that lasted forever and were cheap to replace, now have integrated circuits and motherboards. Truck design engineers should all get fired at GM for crimes against the wallet. I actually have a sensor on my Yukon that alerts me that it id raining. Rant over.
  11. For any of you fellow GM truck owners that can’t stand your engine cutting from V8 to V4, and the late engine damage that will rear its head, there is a slick little aftermarket plug in device that will keep your engine in constant V8 mode. https://www.rangetechnology.com
  12. Query modislakeontario and you should get it

  14. After taking a close look at all my guides on my wire rods in good light and magnifying glasses, I was shocked at the deep grooves present. I have not lost any gear due to wire failure but it looked like it could easily could happen at any time. For most of the grooves in the guides I was able use a dremmel tool and a pointed stone attachment to smooth out most of the grooves but some of the inserts did not survive the deep cuts present and the vibration from the grinding. Looks like I am getting into rod repair.
  15. Sheeple have many forms. When those on this site post verbatim the lies promoted by Fox News, I would say there is cool-aid being consumed by both sides. People believe what they want to believe. Keep this site about fishing please.
  16. With north wind came pack ice into Olcott Harbor. With last weeks thaw, the black invaders came back. It won’t be long now boys!
  17. One of the Fuji inserts punched out of the first rod guide on my ugly stick wire dipsy rod. Does anyone have a recommendation on a replacement guide that will handle wire well?
  18. I think if you made the stretch artificials-only there would not be the mess on the banks.
  19. Anyone wanting a starter kit to start trolling would be well served to buy the lot.
  20. A nice strategic plan! I remember when the fence went up on the Oak. It was a sad day.
  21. I like seeing a weather radar loop that a cell phone can give in real time. Getting off the water when a storm cell pops up over the water in July can save your life. The answer with anything safety on the water is redundancy. More than one bilge pump, boat batteries, fire extinguishers etc etc. With that in mind, everyone needs both their cell and a VHF radio.
  22. Will this event be recorded?
  23. Yes and you can see the water isn’t open until you get to the brown of the Catt. The Catt mouth is open
  24. It’s going to be a quick warm up again. Very little ice on Erie.
