I got the wire in today it sure seams like nice stuff.It seams like it is going to be more forgiving than uncoated wire.I have used wire for a few years now. I have good luck with it but by the end of the season it looks like a slinky.It got much better when I put the twilly tips on my rods,but I still get kinks aka a-holes and looks like a giant spring by seasons end.I have tried a couple of different brands always have used good swivels and every spring it whines up in my garbage can.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe you could use the inexpensive pedestal risers mount one in each of the back corners.With 2x6 over the motor.With riggers and rod holders on it.Eye bolts threw your oar locks .Run cables from your eye bolts using snap hooks to the 2x6 going up the sides of the boat.Cable will steady the board and help keep you in the boat while setting lines and fighting fish.Use large c shaped vise grip claps to attach pedestal base to corners.Can take off easy when not in use or trailering. Overtons has 13 " risers for $19.99 each.

Nice burbot.

I agree I have a Cutco fillet knife by far the best knife I have ever owned.A lot sharper than that Wizard character LOL .I use to work with Scott good guy haven't seen him in a while.

http://www.overstockbait.com/SevenStran ... -27wnf.htm For $78.95 for 5000ft. I will take my chances.Sorry I got the last spool.They still have some good deals on Stren fishing line.

Glad you found something in your budget. Hope it works out for you and your family.My first boat wasn't exactly a fishing boat. But I caught a lot of fish out of it.

I was wondering if anyone has tried this for wire dipsy set up ? Sevenstrand by sevalon. This braided 27lb. wire features 7 strands wrapped tightly together and coated with nylon making it durable and extremely flexible.Was thinking of trying it with a roller rod.Any thoughts or experiences with this would be helpful. Thinner than mono of the same lb. test.

I ordered the 798c SI is on its way .With the price of gas. I might be doing more Walleye fishing On the small lakes. I thought the side imaging may work well for running planer boards.Does anyone know what the Navionics Bundle that it comes with consists of.Thanks Sean

Thanks Billy I talked to you a little bit about this at the lotsa show.I can get a thru-hull transducer for a aluminum hull correct ? I kind of figured it didn't have enough power for the big lake.Do the HD units you mentioned have better base maps?

Nice fish SteelieBum

I have the 595c combo. I haven't really decided if I like it or not.Last year I put in a 101 Terrova bow mount and put the 3 batteries towards the front of the boat.I had the transducer on the corner of the boat,to keep it away from the motors.Know I have been losing bottom when it gets choppy out, from the transducer coming out of the water. Then my friend that fishes with me sometimes is always playing with the settings.Last time out a couple of weeks ago I reset the defaults and it seamed better.I was fishing the Niagara and it didn't show the border on the base map.I found that disappointing.Even my handheld Garmin GPS. I use to use had that on it.I plan on getting a chip for it but you would think they would have an international border on it.I remember reading posts on here a year or two ago about other people having trouble losing bottom with there Humminbirds.Maybe you can do a search and find those post.Sorry I couldn't be more help.I need to do some adjusting to my setup if it doesn't come around I will be looking for something else.But I am not ready to say it's a bad unit.

http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/fish_marine_ ... elkmap.pdf Not the best contour map.

Thanks windburn I just looked at it sitting next to the computer and thought maybe it's coated rigger cable.Looked and saw your response.Never used the coated rigger cable so I really didn't think about it.Looks like good stuff.I will have to give it to my friend he runs a Moor speed and temp and was having coated cable issues last year.

My guess is planner board line.Was in a lot of tackle I purchased.200ft. 120lbs. Weller premium steelcore. Stainless steel cable nylon plastic coated. Thanks Sean

I have these gauges that came with fishing tackle that I bought.I have no use for them.They all are new.I will describe the best I can.Any other questions PM me.1 quicksilver Tac 3.25in. tag on back says 12 pole alternator input only.1 Quicksilver temp gauge 2in.1 Teleflex temp gauge 2in. Any reasonable offers or trades welcome.Just PM me.

I alway use the clinchers they are so easy even a caveman like me can use them.Bass pro $6.99

Its not with the DEC but they are usually looking for help with the Pen Rearing projects and all of the contact info. is right hear on this page.What better way to help out. If I lived closer I know I would help.

I Gave it a try today out of third creek after reading your report yesterday .First time fishing out Sodus in a couple of years.Fished in 31ft. with a small glow pimple.Switched between spikes and fatheads.Had to pick through the dinks but managed 15 keepers 9 to 12.5 inches. Caught more fish on the spikes,but better quality on the fathead.Fished from 12 to 5 .Marked fish the whole time. Thanks for the report Mike

Well done Landshark ! Nice fish ,great people ,wonderful memories.

Great report thanks for sharing.

Is that location x,y,or z for Burbot I take it.lol

You guys can not go under ground with your posts.You have some great reports and info.There are so few reports of fishing on here in the winter months.You guys are one of the few on here that share in the winter,that make it worth while reading and posting.I haven't been setting any fishing records this winter, but when I have a little success I have been trying to share it.Whether it has been ice fishing or Niagara river fishing.With the price of gas it sure helps to have a little info.It is to costly to go somewhere new and get skunked.I do not fish the Finger Lakes for Trout and Salmon but I do love to read your reports. I would like to try Seneca for perch though. but with the tight lip about that fishing I am reluctant .I do not have the time or money to go there 3 or 4 times to learn how to be successful.Please keep up with the great reports,and I will share what little I have.That is what makes this the great site it is.

Tough Day on the river but got a couple nice Lakers.Had to try out some of the new goodies from the Lotsa show.Great show !

AS dremarquis said no permit required.I have fished Canadice like 6 times I have been batting about 50% have caught 3 and have had 3 or 4 swings and misses.I have marked fish every time.I have had best luck in the later part of the day 2:30 to 4:00.Caught 2 jigging 1 on tip-ups.I haven't been there real early. Usually don't get there till about 10 am.
