  1. It's all about the wind direction as we all know. We fished Mon with SSW breeze and water cleared up just past Shipbuilders. River water was getting pushed offshore. IBay has a muddy plume but nothing like the river. I believe the wind has been NW since Tues. keeping the mud nearshore.
  2. Thanks Reel Time. Just being nosy. Local tackle shop here has em for $7.99
  3. Very real looking presentation. Love those smallies. I had this 6.2 lb done 8-9 yrs ago by a guy in Holland NY. I don't have a lot of wall space for a king or big brown so this worked fine.
  4. Well isn't that special. And $4.99 to boot. Heh Landshark, I saw your post about Fat Nancys buy 4 get a Bay Rat free. How much $$ were they
  5. I got one you can have. Where are you located?
  6. I bought 2nd keels at the Niagara Fishing/Outdoor Expo in 2015 from a charter captain out of Wilson. Nice price and made well. After installing I found at rest that they sunk slowly. I took weight off the 2nd set and have had no problems since. I was told you really don't need the xtra weight unless pulling multiple long coppers. I do like spoon-fed's idea of 1/2 weights though.
  7. Nice work Rick. That shoreline looks familiar
  8. X2
  9. $15 a year for associate members. GCBA.com. Piece of cake. Just do it!!
  10. X2 on 10000 ft Blood Run bulk spools. Very cost efficient way to load up your, and friends reels. I found a spool for $200 early last year.
  11. The mono Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. Good point. Wish I could do that Les. Gotta break down my Taloras for the cuddy Kevin
  13. 40 or 50 lb. Big Game is tough stuff. Change out only when you have any doubts.
  14. Not to say you'll never tangle on a turn, but my bet is you're catching it while letting out the copper and don't know it. Letting a 450 copper out too fast can grab the belly of the wire, especially if it's out 250-300. We send out copper to a board right over the top of a deployed dipsey but the key is keep it straight and let it out SLOW
  15. We've been using 40lb mono on our wire rods for 2 years now. 25-30 ft. With an allbright knot. Change it out as needed. No more curly cues. A charter captain I know uses 50lb Spros heavy swivels on the wire. But it's a PITA to do yourself. Got my LOU stickers Luke. Thanks for the quick delivery.
  16. TunasReelTroubles.com will have those
  17. You're being too nice when you said hydraulic info is vague. They su-k. Check your PM's. Kevin
  18. Just did a EV-100 install in Sept./Oct. on 25ft Pursuit w/ 250HP Yammie. Got the commissioning done and a shakedown run before pulling the plug. Did the install myself, but had help on the hydraulic line bleeding. Can't wait to get back in the water. I fished with a buddy last summer who put one on an older 27ft Pursuit with twin inboards and it handled it fine. Good luck with your decision
  19. Yup, that's the place. I bet you haven't done much of that this year.
  20. Is that an octopus?? That is a great day of fishing
  21. If you're in the Rochester area try S&R Bait/Tackle in Sea Breeze. The owner tries to stock as much trout/salmon stuff as he can, with very good prices. If he doesn't have what you want he can order it. Stop in after 4 PM weekdays or all weekend when the owner is there.
  22. For spring browns our go-to plug is an old Rebel naturalized brown trout 3 1/2 in out on the board with a rubber core sinker if needed. I've got 2 left. When they go In muddy,stained water same size Bombers or Challengers, anything bright. You can probably tell my age by those selections. Gonna give some new bay Rats a run this year
