They are also VERY expensive. We paid over $1,000 for a regular set because our friend's kid was selling them and was in college and we wanted to help him out. They are good knives but the pricing is VERY inflated for what you get. The serrated edged ones have to be sent back to the factory tobe sharpened although I don't think this is true for the fillet knife. I think they make a 5 7/8 and a 7 7/8 inch as I recall.

Although it depends on what you are fishing for to some degree in general small to medium sized spoons but in the Spring when adult sized sawbellies inhabit the shallows for spawning larger spoons work as well so matching to the size of the bait available can be a good idea. On Seneca Sutton spoons trolled relatively slowly and slower the larger the spoons work real well but basically experiment with anything you have and change out frequently until you get a winner. The way Seneca has been lately in recent years don't expect to be filling your box in short order....you'll have to work for them....if fishing for lakers get ahold of some gambler rigs and you'll be on the right track. The most recent diary results suggest that it takes about 5 hrs. per fish average on Seneca right now and about 44 % of the trips went fishless which compares with the data from the late seventies out there when it was tough fishing while Cayuga Lake has been on fire so temper your expectations and fish hard. Don'tr be afraid to keep changing up things.Seneca is a wonderful lake and you can have a lot of fun out there regardless if you look at it as a "challenge".

I should imagine they are still running in some streams up that way because the water temps are still quite a ways behind schedule so wherever they can be taken legally is the way I'd be going just cull the smallest mixed with the spawners

Good luck bud.

You might want to try one of those Gambler Rigs Brian.....some people I know said they work good on the trout

Good to hear Tyee Lets hope things continue t rebound this season.

Great fish and certainly one for the wall

Good luck Aaron. Doesn't look like there will be much action on those new solar panels today though

Hornady no longer supplies any NYS government agency....good move.

In the old days before refrigeration that was the way fish were preserved herring included

Good thing you posted the second pic Nick as the other boat is superimposed

I think Chas has given you some real good advice. By the time you invest the money to "fix" the issue you may have just put "lipstick on a pig" The used brand name motors in decent shape would be a safer bet for your money Pete. A new impeller/water pump kit, set of new plugs, lower unit oil and most of the used brand name motors in decent shape would serve you for years.

I think it may relate to the flow of nutrients etc. along the south shore right now. Usually brings temp difference, food for the bait and the bait and the kings follow it. Kinda like the migration of the pelagic fish in the oceans.
