  1. Another thing I did to my cannons was change from the stock cannon two prong terminus to a Minn Kota receptacle termination. Better connection, heavier gauge wire.

    Thanks all. We will give it a go. Always like exploring new frontiers. We will flex to what ever is biting.
  3. yes it can get downright confusing when you hear someone on the radio talking about some dirty white boy flasher with small meat package.
  4. This year was awesome. Every marina was loaded up until last weekend. Hopefully signs of recovery.
  5. Recent research important to WNY corridor. https://www.investigativepost.org/2018/09/12/a-looming-threat-to-the-niagara-river/
  6. Sahlens on a toasted bun.
  7. I like hot dogs cooked on the grill.

    Might be heading to Otisco for weekend. How has the walleye and tiger fishing been?
  10. Next up are arrows. So what do Matthews bows like to eat? I am a fan of Easton Axis 5mm arrows.
  11. So in setting up my bow I realized my old style of pins and the hindsight system that had served me so well does not work on the new riser designs. I picked up a HHA Optimizer single pin sight and got her dialed in. So cool the algorithm system that has you shoot at 20 yards then 60 yards to figure out the coinciding sticker to place on sight which then allows you to shoot out to 80 yards by dialing in the site to the known target distance was an epiphany! I have never shot past 40 yards and with the new technology, I was placing 5” groups at 60 yards with junk waste arrows and a crosswind. My eyes have been opened.
  12. Could someone post the tournament results for us slugs stuck at home? Thanks.
  13. Tournament tomorrow so follow the boats.....but not too closely.
  14. I will start. After 18 years I decided it was time for new bow.
  15. Agree, trebles mangle but singles kill (at least my experience with kings).
  16. Probably carp fishermen.
  17. You cleaned the bilge area out. Perfect!
  18. Nobody is issuing tickets right now due to COVID-19.
  19. Or buy spoons with heavy bend. Discontinued Hookster spoons can be found in consignment tackle stores or eBay. R&R tackle Kodiak Wobblers and Northport Nailer wild thing spoons are two spoon products available to purchase on line. R&R tackle -email Dave at mytackle box.com and tell him you are interested in Kodiak wobbler blanks. He can paint up whatever you want or go on Northportnailer.com for northportnailers. The extra bend gives tremendous side to side action at slow speeds. A good tool to have in arsenal.
  20. Despite etech’s excellent track record on reliability and safety towards the environment, there have been rumors that states were considering the banning of non-four strokes for water quality. I think those rumors spooked potential buyers.
  21. This time of year chase the green water. Look at satellite images on modis Great Lakes site. Case in point, there is a report of someone catching kings offshore near Devil’s Nose. If you look at the satellite image from that day, you can see a detached piece of green water that made it offshore. That water might be gone in 24 hours.
  22. Can’t you turn off the bottom track feature?
  23. Shorten leads and when lowering, have rigger rod in hand placing directional pressure on rigger weight away from nearest line ie pull to the starboard for starboard rigger, pull straight out back from middle rigger and pull to the port for port rigger weight. The number one reason you are getting tangles is make sure lines are running straight out the back when lowering. For this reason I usually figure out which way the down current is running and try to head straight into it. If your gear is angling back across the transom you will have more tangles. The other reason is small fish pulling line lateral but not popping the release.
  24. “Wife wants them”.......funny, sounds like deer attractant to me.
