  1. EXACTLY, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
  2. I'm looking for information on possible boat parking rental opportunities at or around Oak Orchard. Thanks!
  3. Agree with Glen, don't you keep a sharp knife around? In all seriousness though I can run 3 or 4 per side without that much board line out. The more line you let out the harder it is to run the clips down the line anyway.
  4. A little dicey launching/hauling out without the docks. Found browns in the warmer water 43+ on bright stix @2.2 in 6-8 fow. Fish seemed scattered. Color varied from chocolate to a nice green but not much of the latter, plenty of the former! Watch the Starboard side coming back in to the chute, there's quite a build up near the wall. No discernible gut contents in fish we kept. P.S. Wife enjoyed the peace and quiet
  5. I bought the 6 with 20lb. These reels are in excellent shape, been through Tuna's, with really good line on them. This is a killer deal.
  6. Although they eat good, the eyes aren't going to test your tackle real hard. I love my $23 Eagleclaw 7'6" SF 400 ml rods for spring browns, walleyes, and Flx fishing on the riggers and planners. They work pretty decent with snap weights off the boards too. They are a little too wambly for core and inlines.
  7. An interesting read for sure. No simple answers is the take home I got.
  8. My browns/walleye rods (Eagle Claw Starfire 7' 6" Lites) have Daiwa 17 or 27s spooled with 6# Maxi. When things are really tough I'll albright to 6 FC leader but it's pretty rare. The average spring kings I run into can be handled on these rigs (if you are prudent). At the end of the flat line deal I usually run a pair of 47s spooled with 20lb Maxi on Okuma Blue Diamond ML rigger rods for my flat lines because that's when an occasional brute will be in the mix. These are my summertime spoon rigger rods as well.
  9. I thought I stumbled onto 'Salmon Crazy' for a minute...
  10. Well spring is here. Hopefully the next outing will be out of Port Bay and if not at least the lil boat is there in the capable hands of Hank at L&M.
  11. Wound up boating a few real good ones around Bear Creek but realistically I think I might have found that class of fish back where I started, hard to say I guess. Found some 43 degree water just east of Hughes that held a pile of browns. Nothing spectacular size wise but at 2 different points all the rods had fish on them. Heck of a gorgeous day on the lake.
  12. Plenty of action on the ccs but guess I'm gonna look for bigger fish. What the heck- I've got all day
  13. Nice post. I'm pumped- going out of there tomorrow.
  14. I'll be launching out of the Coast Guard lot tomorrow am. So far I'm solo, so if there's anybody looking for 1 seat let me know. I will be going out at first light.
  15. I've launched at Lewiston through a whole lot worse than that. I'd say it's game on.
  16. Anybody been on Seneca lately? I'm assuming the Village launch is accessible?
