got me excited i'll be getting the boat and gear ready this week and weather permitting heading out next saturday my favorite time of year to fish now till the lake trout derby

thats funny right there “El Apetito de Muerte†sounds like a teenager

split it 7 and 3 but on the 7 put in a leangth of mono at 1 color on the short one and 4 colors on the long one that way you can run a rod at 1 color 3 colors 4 colors or 7 colors off a board great way to get a lot of range on a limited number of rigs espicially in a smaller boat. you can than use either off a rigger as well or even attach a torpedo weight at the mono section. I love my short cores and hated my 10 color though i did not have the right reel for it. I am probably the minority but i run a very short leader usually 8-10 feet only works very well for me started longer but didnt get the hits leadcore pulses and waves up and down with waves speed changes and turns longer leaders mute this that erractic action can trigger a lot of striks especially on seneca in the sprig or in the mornings or if you find fish over open water. real common to find bait up high and the short cores can catch fish

short lead cores are my favorite rods i use them for browns in the spring and they catch most of my fish running spoons. i fish seneca the rest of the year and the short cores produce fish year round you can also run them as a SWR on a rigger if fish are real deep but i have better luck running them near the surface

ive used them off of docks for panfish in summer lots of catches lots of tangles though. might be better using them vertical through the ice though might have to try one this weekend if i do i'll let you know if it works

fantastic idea just gotta make sure the wife doesnt see the video and find out what it all really costs she always conviently forgets about the collected over a lifetime part. might be fun to start a thread here to post the vidoes to compare collections help pass the time till sping

18 1/2 is no youngster for a cat at that kind of age just like people the chance for problems gets more and more. I say feed them the fish get the taste for wild game in them so they keep the mice down unless there like my last one who just got fat and lazy but that was because he ate everything. Only cat i know who would steal french fries from people and eat eggs in the morning if he could get his paws on them

i used to give my cats fish everytime i kept some for the table they loved it. never had thyroid problems i will say though i used to work in a vet hospital and cats with thyroid issues are more common than you would think. the meds work pretty well and at least with animal meds they are much cheaper than the ones for humans even though its the exact same medicine

the kicker is worth its weight in gas alone. I have a 4 stroke nissan i can troll all day on less than 2 gallons i have a 6 gallon tank and top it off everyother trip at most and have never needed more than 2.5 gallons. gonna fish infront of the genny today hoping for some big lake O trout. good luck out there today is prime winter fishing weather.

best advice i can give is get a pair of leadcores. they are the most productive rods i own. i have a 4 color and a 6 color that i love on the 4 color i have a piece of mono splieced in at one color and and the 6 color i have one spliece in at two colors. run a search on this site for how to set them up thats how i learned. the mono means you can run them off a board at that leangth or the full leangth. get good flurocarbon i like P-line and go the fingerlakestackle.com and pick some lures. i only have a handheld gps so for speed fish anywhare from 2.2 to 3.0 vary untill you get a hit that repeat that speed each day is different. I like big boards but inlines will work i have a homemade mast PM me if you wants some pics did the whole thing for under 50 bucks. spring and fall are my favorit times fish are up high and inclose so with good weather i can fish lake O if not seneca has several launches so i can run from the wind (small boat). If you dont want to do boards to start you can flatline the cores of the back while still using riggers also good in a crowd. get a kicker its quieter and as a result the boards are less important i started catching more fish when i went from an old 40 hp to a newerish 7.5hp I lost a lot of range but have better speed controll and better gas mileage i caught a lot more fish this year. for your rigger rods on the fingers you can use any backing you want but if your gonna fish summer the fleas can be a pain many on hear mention 30lb mono for that and it works like a charm get a spool of your prefered brand and fill the reel than go light with your leaders. I use 10lb in the fingers but keep one rod with a 20lb leader for the spin dr I like the heavier line for the twist. check your leaders often and dont be afraid to change them. with the finger lakes you want light releases on your riggers or something on a teather because you will at somepoint hit a small fish and drag it around for a while. winter on seneca is a good place to learn just keep an eye on the weather winter can turn quick. best part of the small boat mine was only winterized for like 6 weeks last year. I had it out in dec and feb. this is a good site to learn ask any questions you can. most of what i know i learned from the people on this site so i try to pass on what I can but there are many here who know a whole lot more than I do

zimm this time of year drive to watkins glen and launch out of clute. set up right out of the shoot and troll the south end. typically the warm water attacts good numbers. DW super slims work or the FLT spoons last year i did real well in the top 50 feet of water off boards and riggers I usually run sliders as well and had more than one single pole doubles. lot of LLs in the 18-20 inch class but they should be a year bigger now plus there is a good chance at a rainbow. I here there are lots of browns to but i never got into any. If you want you can drag a dipsey or run deep and catch some lakers as well. I will be out in am ut with the wind down i may try to fish out of the genny in lake O or out of naples on canandaguia just because i wanna try a new lake but seneca has been good to me the last 12 months or so but it took a couple years for me to learn to catch anything consistenly there though i have limited fishing time. this site helped a ton
