    from another thread but worth saying again : i want to extend my gratitude to everyone who helped out. It all started Thursday with a couple of us setting up and sharing some great laughs and ended Saturday afternoon with all of us tearing down and still laughing. As always Nick and Theresa did an outstanding job and this turned out to a great event. This is a special event for me as I always have my Father ride with me (who is a VET) and we also take another Vet from the group. Dad never talks much about what he has been through but when he meets all the other Vets and spends time with him he shares some stories and you can truly see the bond that these guys share. Although the waves were BIG and many stomachs were green EVERYONE had a smile on their face. I truly do not think that we could have had a better group of Captains or Vets for this event. I heard everyone single person there who not only fished but volunteered to cook, setup, teardown, and just plain help in anyway we needed say "I CANT WAIT TO NEXT YEAR". My hats off to everyone especially Nick and Theresa - God Bless the USA !!!!

    I know some craft stores like AC Moore's or Michaels carry frames and can even make a custom sizes if they don't the right one. Another place to look is Christmas Tree Shop. Just find a picture and frame the same size and just replace the picture

    Lower both weight so they are just a couple feet under water but still visible. Troll with them and see if they are tracking correctly. Even if they track a couple inches off that will be magnified times ten when you run them deeper

    Took out a friend and his buddy who has never been salmon fishing before. left the dock @ 5:30 and was setting lines just west of chute in 120 FOW a little after 6. lake had a decent 2-3 foot chop in the morning. Found 50 Degrees down 80 over 120. Ran 4 riggers and 3 wire divers. 2 inside riggers pulling spoons and all others falsher fly combos. found a good pod of fish in the 140-180 range. First pass through produced a 6 lb King off the inside rigger set 82 pulling a Die Hard spoon. Next to fire was deep rigger @ 110 pulling custom taped White/Blue Spin Dr/ Hammer fly while fighting that fish 260 dipsey rips pulling White Green Dot board Big Fin fly - DOUBLED UP. landed both fish. both 2 year old Kings 16 and 15 lbs. Fish seemed to disappear after that. I pushed out to 200+ to see where they went. found them again in 190 - 220 range. Dipsey @ 286 pulling green paddle green fly ripped out to 640 before stopping. after a good fight landed a respectable 21 lb King. pointed towards the chute and rigger down 62 pulling a SSW fires and the aerial show began. after some crazy rod movings and untanglings we landed a nice 11 lb Steelhead. back at the dock by 10:30 am ]

    concentrate in 6-12 FOW in front of all the bluffs between Sodus and Port Bay. there have been decent numbers taken daily on shad raps, bombers, rapalas, etc.

    The threaded studs go from inside the reel seat facing out. Then the clamp goes around rod handle and the nuts secure it to the threaded studs.

    Never caught a tagged fish but caught quite a few that had chips in the head. When stopped by DEC survey boat one time 5 out of the Seven kings I caught were chipped. Problem is they cut their heads off and keep them to gather the chip and data. Made for one screwed up photo

    You made it longer than me nick. Flies were so bad I had to run to store and hang fly sticky traps in cuddy and cabin because I brought them all back to the dock with me. I couldn't get rid of them. I sprayed them with water and swateed them and they just coming back

    a friend at camp just purchased this downrigger at a garage sale. it did not come with a base. we are trying to figure out what it is / who made it. it is all aluminum constructiona nd built like a tank. its is a 12v electric which works great. It appears to have a "power window" motor on it which i know was typical of Proos. there are no markings at all anywhere on it. The bottom has a spring loaded pull pin that would lock it into the base. The whole is 1" in diameter. any clue????
