The probe needs to be IN the water to activate it

The stern planers are a lot in principle like jug rigs are in thermoclining (Seth green rigs). The same thing can be done with balloon rigs as well and they have been used for years by some of us long before these things were developed. Basically they are just something to keep your long lines way back and above the other stuff such as side planers and riggers etc. These stern planers are just more hydrodynamic.....another tool in the arsenal

Sounds as though you have the right attitude coach and sometimes the best part of fishing isn't necessarily catching a whole bunch of fish -
And that compliment comes from a very good fisherman too

Fishnut and I had about the same reaction -
Nice going and interesting report. I think you are a good example of something that I've said repeatedly on here being the dinosaur that I am. There is a very high reliance on fancy electronics, the best rods and reels, temp sensing devices, autopilots and all the other paraphenalia that goes with it, but at the end of the day the stuff is helpful but not as totally necessary as folks may believe or assume. You can still catch nice fish without all the expensive fancy stuff when either forced to improvise or going "old school".

Maybe use a garden hose pointed from the rear of the impeller to test?(someone else holding it)

Keuka Fishing suggestions for Keauka Lake
Sk8man replied to Murphy's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Murphy - Take fishy's suggestion he always has his finger on the pulse of the lake and best of all...he is right up the road the park is on so very handy. -
Man...do those look familiar.... exactly like my first set in the mid seventies. They work -
I agree with fisherdude's concern. Some folks may not realize it but there is a huge market in California and other states already with people assembling guns from parts that can be bought over the Internet. apparently there are gunsmiths involved as well as other people that have just watched videos on the Internet and they are making their own guns that are much harder to trace and they are being bought by gangs and cartels for big bucks.

Congratulations on a great catch and great day Dylan! Sounds as though you "smoked" it and those guys are some of the best in the Finger Lakes. -
Very cool Justin Those fish are truly interesting snd beautiful. Great to see they are doing so well there. -

I know it depends on a bunch of different factors but my "rule of thumb" on the Deeper diver at least the 124 mm (largest) sometimes referred to as #5 I figure2 to 1 at normal speed e.g 2.2 mph. I've hit bottom at 155 ft with 300 ft of wire out (30 lb 7 strand) -
Thanks John.

Try checking at a carwash for rug cleaner that has citrus or lemon scent. Do the carpets with it...I think it could help a lot.

Nice going Tom. Until very recently I have thought the flea infestation was something the was totally warm water temp related and with us for the duration until Fall but after the intense concentration of fishook fleas noted recently, and now folks now reporting light to none out there I'm wondering if the lake flip and cold water being pushed inshore either breaks up the concentrations or maybe kills them off somehow, or whether it somehow changes their reproduction cycle somehow. Really interesting. Thanks for the report.
