i've delt with import of various things as part of my job. I cannot emphasize enough how valuable a good broker is, the above posts are right hire one and be done with it. the paperwork is painful at best and often the two countries cant agree on whats needed and what isnt.

i've been vacationing on that lake for 25+ years always in late july. there are pike just about everywhere and they will eat just about anything so pick the technique you like to fish and work it till you find the area it works in. for the bigger non snot rocket pike in summer deep(er) water access is a must. main lake or channel points and bay. deep grass flats. and cliffs all have good potential.. the best pike fishing I have ever found is if you can find golden shiners (in the lake). get a sabaki and some spikes. catch the shiners put the right out on a bobber. great fun. if you cant find shiners small perch work well to but they are everywhare. where as schools of shiners are slightly harder to find but always have pike and other predators around them. for artificials I have caught just as many on twister tails fishing for pan fish as on spoons and spinner baits and soft plastics fishing for pike or bass. If you have a good drift or slow troll going throw a live bait out on a circle hook and fluro leader 10-30 foot behind the boat as you cast all sorts of fun things will eat it. and by live bait I mean anything shiner perch sunfish, as long as you count it towards your limit and its legal size you can use it for bait.

good to here we are already looking forward to next year

thats how my brother drives except i dont have any form of auto pilot he wonders why I always end up yelling at him at least once while setting lines

mid summer canandagiua boat traffic sucks if she is not into the morning thing than that is a tough lake for fishermen mid summer. seneca is just as close but I dont know the panfish there very well. cross lake is closer than it looks about 45 mins. I bay is real close as well as the genny but to be honest from that area for panfish honeyoe and conesus are probably the best bet. throw a shiner out on a bobber on conesus while fishing and she might hit a big bass pike or tiger. your close to the canal is well but in that area i have never found much for size though i havent fished it much as I got the boat right around the same time i moved to the area and got into trout and salmon trolling

it lives on the creek very near my cottage I have been keeping a close eye out for signs of it in the shed or camp itself. havent seen any yet hopefully it stays that way. guess i'll tell the wife no. shes terrified of it anyway last time it popped out of a rock 20 feet from here and she dropped the fishing rod and took off running. I couldnt get off the ground i was laughing so hard

i showed it to the wife now she wants to train the mink at camp lord knows there are pleanty of gobies there as well

i like the format of the derby as is and this is the derby that got me back into trolling. my brother and I look forward to it all year. that said I am looking to try a team event or two in the coming years and wonder if it would be possible to have a team event imbeded with in the derby for those interested. that may be to complicated to pull off but it could be done for those who want that different competition yet leave the derby as a whole open to everyone. Just a thought. as long as this derby is going we will likly continue to fish it

i always like to have the deeper set with the longer lead that way if a fish hits and goes straight up its still clear of the shallow rod. deep rod is always on the outside pointed straight out the side and the shallor rod is inside pointed to the center of the boat. I have gotten minimal tangles this way and have gotten more with free sliders. but if there are fish up high I prefer the free slider as its easier to reset a rigger with only one rod and easier to fight a fish with one less rod to worry about or clear. i've only tried fixed cheaters a couple times and have not found the set up I like for them yet.

a shot for the boat a shot for the water and a shot for the owner. Say thanks for the chance give it the new name and refill your cup. a little bit of sacrifice to the superstitions goes a long way and I'm always for having a drink

finally have the chance to get back out tomarrow the weather looks decent but i'll likely be fishing with only a newbie. this makes launching a little harder. does anyone know if the docks are in yet at I-bay or bear creek? I have seen rumors about the genny being closed and dredging in hughs does anyone have any confirmations? i did bear creek last time and it was tough with just the sea wall and no dock and an incoming surge not sure I could do it with the new guy Thanks in advance for any help.

i'd like to volunteer to help collect some data
