Meat rigs/cutbait:What's your take? (Discussion)
Kevin J Legg replied to Sk8man's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Thanks for starting this thread Sk8man. It brings back memories of dragging the cowbell rigs with a sawbelly off a victrola on Seneca for lakers about 50 years ago. I was fishing with Spence DeVito, a guy that taught for my dad in Phelps, and a legendary fisherman at that time. He later moved to Alaska where he guided. -
Cisco T mount brackets appear to be $67 each while Traxtech offers some for $35 a pair.

I have an 18' Lund Alaskan with two Cannon electric riggers with dual rod holders and a Planning Board Mast (in front pedestal seat). It has two rail mount adjustable Lund style rod holders (Ram) on each side for a total of four rod holders per side. I usually run three lines off boards and two off riggers for browns and a couple dipseys, riggers and maybe a copper or lead core for salmon. I'm not happy with the Lund mounts as I lost a rod and rod holder to a salmon a few years back so I'm leary using them for dipsy or even salmon fishing. I have heard that I can use stainless carriage bolts in the rail and aluiminum plate bent to 45 degree angle to make a strudy base. I also have an old cannon track plate from another boat) I'm thinking of putting either a bird tree or dipsey 2 or 3 rod holder on each side ( Great Lakes Planner or other). I fish Lake Ontario for trout and salmon but also use the boat for bass, walleye, panfish and duck hunting so need to be able to remove them easily to convert to a duck blind and keep versatility. Anyone have any suggestions on what would be the most economical and efficent way to do this rigging?

Nice to see what you've done with it. Looks like a fishing machine. I have a 18' Alaskan and I love it. I have a 9.9 kicker with Minn Kota electric on the bow, electric riggers and planing board mast. Thinking of mounting a set of bird tree rod holders as I'm not super happy with standard rail mount puck system of rod holders. I also have a duck blind I can easily mount in a few minutes when I'm after waterfowl. Love it's versatility, dry ride.

Scouting and getting permission to hunt are really the hardest part of goose hunting. If you're where they want to be you don't need sophisticated sets. That said, I hunt with a friend that has fully flocked full bodies and with good calling they can really bring the birds in even on sunny days.

I think Rossie will be another week or so. Creeks are beginning to open up. As usual everything will happen at once. Hope to brown fish next week.

John, Still lots of ice at Chippewa. I fished there this morning for about an hour and didn't catch much at all. Decided to quit and get some things done at home. Kring's is pretty bad and staring to open at the gaps so next time I try it will probably be by boat. I'd be hitting the Lake for browns this weekend if I wasn't going to the funeral. Hopefully next week!

I fished Chipepwa and only got a few. Seems to still be spotty but still lots of ice.I got my Lund ready to roll for Lake Ontario browns and my Gheenoe ready to slide in at Kring's. Unfortunately my sister-in -law passed away last night so I won't be getting a boat in this weekend. I may try Chippewa again tomorrow. There is still a couple feet of good ice there but shorelines are starting to deterioratein some spots. .

Wednesday weather
Kevin J Legg replied to smaltcody's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Good advice from everyone. I personally don't enjoy fishing in 4 footers. My Lund Alaskan can handle them but it just makes everything more difficult and it's not a relaxing day on the water as your body is constantly tense. I also have a kicker and electic motor for back up which I think is wise on the big lake. -

Checked out Kring's Point this afternoon and there was one guy on the ice. Lots of open spots along the shore and some bigger spots in the gaps. The next time I fish there it will be from a boat. I then check Chippewa Bay and it looked much better. You still need to watch near shore but I'm going to fish it tomorrow. Lots of jam ice moving down the river and with warmer weather and rain in the forecast the ice fshing is nearing an end.

I've made a bunch of post on waterfowl, small game, deer, and turkey and never had an issue. On the other had I have had individuals complain about me keeping fish even though I release many and tend to keep pan fish and smaller fish to eat from a wide variety of locals. I know the areas I fish and hunt and certainly try to selectively harvest and not abuse a resource. That said, I'll never sugar coat or feel the need to justify the fact that I love eating the fish and game that I harvest, never waste any and follow the laws.
