Hey Wally - I think the connection URL above merely returns you to this address rather than going to the Navionics site

ifishy - When fishing the water that is also inhabited by big pike a short titanium leader (smaller diameter and stronger than others) can prevent snap-offs and it may also give some additional action to some lures (stiffness).

I use Tilex shower cleaner for the non skid fiberglass floor via scrub brush wiped up with old towels, and Tuff Stuff for the fiberglass interior. It comes out pristine.

one of the things that works well (for the lakers) in the winter along that line is running a Seth Green with a set of cowbells and peanut or Spin N Glow at the bottom with a 40 oz weight and a 25 or 30 ft leader about 3 ft above with a spoon or crank bait etc. Run it right near the bottom out deep and/or through the bait balls.

Longspurs - i have fished Honeoye through the ice since the late 1960's and it has always been an "on and off" bite there and although somewhat better fishing in the distant past it remains a tough place to consistently hit the bite and especially so with the Eyes and Crappies.

Justin has hit the nail on the head and the responsibility even goes beyond the sports. Frequently I see fast food bags and soda containers strewn about the roadways and it is obvious that they didn't just blow out of someones trash container waiting for the trash guys to retrieve.

Good one John....still laughing.

Wow! You've really come a long way with the painting Jason. I'm assuming you'll be at the Watkins show at the end of March right?

Thanks Chuck

I can run 4 if I want to and Whaler hardware as you know is top notch so the recessed built in holders are very sturdy. I do have swivel bases on the Cannons and that is real convenient

Bill I have been using the gimbals set up that way for 16 years and never a problem and I have the extendable booms etc.. They are really the way to go ....easy removal if you want to safe guard riggers or just go cruising without them.

It was lucky but I was fishing for them and perch. 14 ft small tungsten jig with spikes

Yesterday when my son and I were were walking out on the ice at Conesus I stared at a spot on the ice in disbelief. It was littered with dead shiners, dead gills, a pile of charcoal briquettes, a garbage bag with trash, an empty propane tank, and an empty full sized brandy bottle all embedded in the ice. It was the most disgusting example of why some people spoil things for the rest of us whether hunting or fishing. Unfortunately, trying to retrieve the stuff was impossible as it had frozen right into the ice. Several other fishermen I spoke with had seen it and were enraged....really sad. When we came back in I noticed that someone had been able to free and collect the garbage bag and propane cylinder at least.

Thanks Mike. It came from Conesus Good luck longspurs.

Thankfully I forgot most of it by the time we got there today Thanks for the help at the edge of the hole

Slow day but had some luck 5 pounder.

Good to see some decent perch from there instead of the dinks

Definitely one for the wall....beautiful fish.
