  1. What an amazing thing to come across. I saw a 6 pointer out in Mexico Bay once but he wasn't trying to get on anyones boat that's for sure. Total Chaos
  2. I run 15lb sharks. one is black and the other is chrome which I painted black. The chrome has it's moments but sometimes I think it turns fish away and black always works. One thing I do see is as the black wears off and the chrome shows thru it actually looks good. The best of both worlds I guess. Total Chaos
  3. I run them all the time with flasher/fly and it works just fine. I run the Spin Doctors as close as 6ft with good results. Don't hesitate to buy them they work well. Total Chaos
  4. I agree it's possibly an R&R spoon. Dave changed spoon blanks many times over the years. He also did prototype stuff that he would give to charter Capt's to run. That red tag on the hook end of the spoon is something he did all the time. Just because you don't see it on the website now doesn't mean he didn't make them. I would send a pic to him and see if it is one of his spoons. Total Chaos
  5. There's better bullets on the market. I used the power belts for a few seasons and here's what I found. They load easy, they're fairly accurate but they don't expand. I shot 2 deer, 1 with 2 pyrodex pellets and 1 with 3 pyrodex pellets. I got both deer with short trails but neither bled and the hole coming out was the same as the one going in. The size of the bullet. I was able to recover one of the bullets from the ground and it was intact including the aero tip and it was hardly deformed. That didn't really concern me. What did was on a real cold day of hunting with my father who also used the pb's noticed something green at the end of his barrel at the end of the hunt. After inspecting we found the the pb had come loose from the plastic and the bullet slid out to the end of the barrel. That could have been devistating had he shot at something. At the time we were both using knight rifles. I now have an Encore and I've been using it for about 10yrs now. I find the 200gr shockwave with 110 gr of Blackhorn 209 to be the ultimate for NY deer. It's flat, low recoil and knocks the crap out of a deer. There's almost always blood at the impact and the trails are easy to follow. However I haven't had a deer go more than 30 yrds. If I were you I'd be looking for something other than the pb's. Total Chaos
  6. Tamiron lure co. Honeybee spoons Total Chaos
  7. I run a single hook with a 3 bearing bead chain in front of the hook. Pull the chain up to where the line goes into the body and put the rubber band around the bead chain. That holds it tight to the body and the hook stays free behind the bait. I never had a problem with hook ups. There are some youtube videos on how to do it. That's where I found it. Total Chaos I added a pic.
  8. I have a bunch of them hardly used that I'll sell you. 2 different sizes and good colors. When I get a chance I'll post a pic and a price. Total Chaos
  9. Thanks guys. Took a guy from work and it was his first time ever on the lake and it was the first fish of the day. I don't think he will beat that one for a while. He's hooked now and came back up and fished Monday. That day was more like reality with 6 mid 20's Kings. It was quite stressful watching the board every day to see if we would get bumped out. Glad we didn't. It is hard to believe we finally won it. It's been a great experience to say the least. Choo-Choo I'm glad you wished the win on me. Brian
  10. I'm selling my Trophy, here's the details: 2006 Trophy 2302 2006 Mercury 225 Verado with Smart gauges 2006 Karavan trailer, tandem axel, tandem brakes Garmin 498 graph (color) Garmin GPS FishHawk X-4 Jensen am/fm/cd-awesome sound has remote VHF 4 rocket launchers on the hard top. The 8 launchers aren't there anymore because it was to hard to reach them. However there's 4 on each side of the hardtop that aren't in these pics. That makes 12 holders on the roof. 2 rodholders for copper on the transom 2 clamp on rodholders on each bow rail for planer board fishing Sink Fridge Portapotty with pump out Shower on the transom Raw water washdown Cockpit lights Wipers Full enclosure Shorepower Battery charger Trim tabs Has 2 Cannon Mag 10 HS 2 Big Jon Quads 2 Big Jon Planer reels Motor still under warrantee until June of 2014 I think. It's sometime next year. This motor sips gas. Some examples are; last trip out I ran 12 miles north, trolled 7 hours and then ran 12 miles back on 12 gals of gas. For a normal spring BT trip I run to Catfish troll 6 hours and back to the Little Salmon river on 8 gals. It has a fuel management system so this is accurate. If you are familar with smart gauges you know that it has troll mode and you can change the rpm's by 10 at a time from either your tach or speedo. excellent speed control for trolling. Smart gauges monitor every mechanicall asspect. This is an awesome boat and I'm only selling because I'm moving up. $26000 with everything or $25000 without the riggers and quad holders. I would really like the riggers and holders but understand you might want the boat fully rigged. This is turn key and in a slip on the Little Salmon river right now and will be there until the 2nd week of Sept. I will winterize it for free if you buy it at the end of the season. Actually the dealer will. This boat has been dealer maintained from day 1. It has 421hrs on it. I also have a full canvas cover for trailering or storage. It covers the whole boat, hardtop, motor everything. I wouldn't run it faster than 55mph though. Any questions let me know. Brian Total Chaos
  11. The fish you ask about was a tagged Laker. The tag is in the nose and the DEC guys cut the nose off to keep.
  12. I was also out Sun. Great day for us. 9 for 13 with 6 Kings to 24lbs and 3 Lakers to 18lbs. Thru back the biggest Laker and a shaker King. Flasher/fly off the riggers and dipsys were the best. 135-200fow. 60-120 down. Most everything I put down took fish. I also went thru the creel check and as of about 12:45 they had checked 29 boats and the most anyone brought in was 3 fish and most of those were Lakers. They did check a 26lb King. They also checked 2 charters and the best had 8 fish. Here's a few pics.
  13. I don't know where they're being made but they are Baha Cruisers and www.happydaysboating.com is selling them. Total Chaos
  14. Baha is not closed. They had a fire and had to rebuild but they are infact in business and producing some nice rigs for 2013. Total Chaos
  15. I heard the same thing for 2012 and they still made boats for 2012. Maybe this time it's true. Total Chaos
  16. Try napa, they have an extensive marine catalog. That's pretty old but it wouldn't surprise me if they could get it. Total Chaos
  17. I saw a lot of open docks last year down there. Total Chaos
  18. Chrome dipsy w/green dots and DW green oversize ring, UV green w/ same DW ring on sunny days. Black or watermelon sometimes. Early or overcast I use black w/ glow dots, black DW ring, glow dipsy w/green dots glow DW ring or the same UV green as above. Total Chaos
  19. I also bought a motor that was in salt water. a 225 Merc Verado. I've had it 3 years and no problems. Looks like new. Not only did it come from salt, it was moored in salt. It all depends how how well it was taken care of. Total Chaos
  20. Let's see now, you replied at 6:52pm on the day I posted the add(the 28th). At 2:00pm the day I posted the add(the 28th) I got a private message thru LOU from a member saying he would take the flies. So if I'm correct 2:00pm beat 6:52pm. I'm sorry. I sell my stuff as fairly as possible. As in this case first come first serve. I'd be happy to post the private message if you don't believe me. Total Chaos
  21. I have 25 Atommik Fly's for sale. 5 white hammer, 5 that look like green hammers with white in them, 4 fish-on fly's, 3 blue crown, 1 hammer live, 2 vision quest live, 1 watermelon, 3 no namers and 1 powder blue/flat chart.. Only 7 have seen water. $35 shipped. Total Chaos
  22. That's good for there. We usually go with 5 or more guys/gals, and if 2 of us pull a legal Laker that's a good day. Biggest we ever caught was a 24" Laker and a 25" Salmon. Maybe the lake is starting to come back. Total Chaos
  23. I run 30lb power pro backing with my 2 color core on a Okuma Convetor cv20. Works great for Browns on an Ugly Stik ultra light 7ft casting rod. Total Chaos
  24. I haven't been there in a few years because the icefishing really dropped off. You'll be lucky if you pull a legal Laker out of there and the Salmon are just about non-existing. Fishing pressure is intense as well. To me it's not worth the effort and the drive. However the Lakers will cooperate. Try hunt baits or smelt if you can get them. Light leaders and size 10 trebles worked good. You can jig them up as well. Salmon, if there's any in there, will be just under the ice to about 15ft down. Same rigs and bait will take them. Good luck Total Chaos
  25. 180ccf, I also have a Trophy Pro 2302. Probably why I can get down to 1.4mph with 25hp less than you. I think my boat is slow on top end. What speed do you get at 5000rpms. My WOT is 5800 rpms and 29mph. My mechanic thinks I should run a 17p prop but I don't want to sacrifice the low end power and the trollability. I'm just trying to find out what other Trophy owners get for performance. Thanks Total Chaos
