Trust your intuition......buy American if not local

Many if not most of the things mentioned here relate to a central problem that is societal in nature and also related to a bunch of other things that are currently going on and that is the lack of respect for others and it isn't just prevalent in sports like hunting and fishing nor is it just characteristic of inexperienced youth and it is good reason for concern in terms of the future of our society. -

WTB Diawa sealine 27, 47
Sk8man replied to slamminsam's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
There are no 37's The 47's are a good choice for flexibility and line capacity if you fish for trout salmon and walleyes but if just for walleyes probaby the smaller lighter 27's would fit the bill better.They are both well made sturdy and reliable reels. I have a dozen of the 47's some of which I've had for 30 years without servicing of any kind and they work perfectly still. -
This situation is a very good example of why law enforcement and the DEC conservation guys need and deserve our full support and not undeserved criticism. The unfortunate part of it is that our legal system (e.g. local judges) often does not seem to consider this type of thing a "priority" or important and merely dismisses the cases without adequate action (e.g. massive fines, incarceration, seizure of property etc.) to serve as a disincentive for these people who continue doing "business as usual" when they merely get a slap on the hand or nothing as a penalty. Many of these folks coming from authoritarian countries like the eastern block countries are used to severe penalties in their own countries for such misbehavior and thus they think we have a weak system of monitoring and disposition once caught so there is no disincentive when they are reaping financial profits from their actions. -
Take Ricks advice and you'll be a "happy camper"

I hear you Jim. I share your concern for the trend

Nice rig Joe -
For those of you with a "short fuse" you may wish to avoid perch fishing at the north end of Canandaigua....as happened last year as well there are some of the most inconsiderate guys possible fishing there mixed among the better fishermen. Several times this season and many times last season as well boats will cruise sometimes at nearly full speed either right near you, come right in to where you have been fishing with their motor running and spook the fish and then drive off OR more commonly they drive full tilt between you and the shoreline when you are in shallow water so that there is no hope of continuing fishing there. Some of this stuff is purposeful not "accidental" as they look right at you while doing it and they are not just young kids just joy riding - they are experienced but highly discourteous other perch fishermen. I guess I need to leave my flare gun at home next time out.....too tempting (just kidding.....but very frustrating)

I didn't actually see them but I assume so as they are in a number of non-transparent boxes behind the counter on a shelf and the lady got the 44's I asked for out of them. I'd give a call and ask (585) 374-2628 before traveling there.

Brian when I recently got my new 4 stroke 9.8 I was going to hook up to my main tank for convenience as well but then I happened to think about one of the reasons Ihave the kicker as added insurance in case my big motor fails. I then decided to keep the new kicker on its own 3 gal separate tank in case either something goes wrong with the main fuel line or the main fuel gets corrupted in some way. Just something to think about and factor in. Most of my friends use just the main fuel line though.

JJ Bat - Thanks for the info. I just returned from there with a few 44's and the plating looks real good as well as the polishing. I've gone there since the 60's (it opened in 1947) and it looks the same as it did then as well. The prices on the 44's were $5.50 and $5.75 depending on which and they have the different weight spoons as well as a bunch of other spoon sizes. I previously lost my silver/copper ones iin the past so I replaced a couple .

Joe you have a PM

Update for the Elite HDI, CHIRP and the Hook series
Sk8man replied to Andre wallyandre's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Thanks Wally. I would have missed that one as I just checked the other day and the last one was from 2015 -
Excellent info based on real experience and much appreciated Rick. As with any relatively new device it may take a while to fully explore the advantages in numerous situations and compare with your other "known" device results (e.g. Moor) or sort out minor bugs but it sounds pretty good so far.

Good old Hop....that's the generous buddy I know -
Wow you are really dialed in. I know these trips are expensive but the memories from them are priceless. -
Geez Sean that is surely the trip of a lifetime for each of you
-
:lol: Pap - Yeah Mike but I don't think it would be worth diving for the others...they were in exactly 500 ft of water
-
I think Nick's rods were taped that way (and he's not even a "girly man") -
Nice going Sean and Sierra I guess it sure puts to rest anyone who might have doubted about last years shot being "lucky"
-
It seems rather humorous to me after using nearly all of them in every weight and type all these years that people treat the 44's as if they are "magical" The 22, 31, and 38's work just as well....the secret to them seems to be the lightness of the spoon coupled with the real silver finish which shows up for greater distances under water than chrome or nickel etc. My favorite for rainbows is the tiny #8.

I think the hatching rate is really excellent as I believe it ranges something like 40-60 percent in nature.
