    I spray on Shad scent which i think kills the human scent at least and although it washes off spoons it seems to stay better on flies and artificial meat rigs but most of the time I use actual bait (alewives or smelt) for meat. I sometimes even spray it on attractors for salmon.

    Yeah I wouldn't be thinking of it if you smoke

    One of the things that is critical when fishing bullheads in the lake is the wind direction...it should be coming toward you rahter than away from you.

    They have been getting a few in the canal at the launch and at the south end of the lake.....they are just getting started and have come in right after the crappies departed.

    Never thought I'd see the day when running 6 or 9 rods on my boat...I'd be low man on the totem pole out there

    The White Porqupine will be "out and about" this year (as contrasted with "dead in the water" last year) We won't be staying at Sampson but hope to "check in" and meet some folks etc. The motors will be all tuned up so no excuses this time....for letting Nick whip our butts

    Yeah, my 2 stroke 9.9 is being tuned upi right now and I'm wondering if I am going to have to figure it out all over again....I can tell by just the sound of the motor usually where I need to be it's been with me since 1989....older than one of my kids

    Just a thought on the rod breaking.....I don't know whether you had the graphite Ugly stick or not but I've had a couple of graphite rods break unexpectedly in the past and the only thing I could figure was that they were very brittle in the cold temp or may have had hairline cracks (undetected) from banging around in the boat or vehicle...either way it sucked

    FLX - I was at the Chamber launch at the north end on Thursday just checking things out and the water level was pretty high then.....here's what it looked like (and the wooden part of the dock is buckled up)

    Four strokes are much quieter, smoother and a lot better on fuel.....on the downside they are a little pricey too

    Yes I didn't mean eating it right now

    Yeah Ray just combs the hair on his back to make it look like he has a shirt on. Best of luck to ya Ray! It was probably the seafood that got him to ditch NY.....couldn't be the high taxes could it?

    Heck of a nice eye! Some great eating right there....WTG

    Nice going Johnny....looks like that one girl had an air hose hooked up to her belly

    There are different ways of doing it but you want it to "roll" regardless... some folks do place a stiff wire in it and bend it, but many merely tighten the line going through it "cinching it" until it achieves the desired effect.

    Good luck with things and best of luck to your wife with the retirement....pretty neat that she was able to take 20 years of it....four was enough for me

    Welcome to LOu. I hope you get lucky with your finding a new boat and with the fishing this season. It sure sounds as though you got your moneys worth out of the old boat though
  22. Sk8man
    How did you make out selling the boat? It was a great rig for someone.

    Jack, Don't be afraid of cranking the motor/speed up a notch or two even with the Sutton's. This time of year it seems most productive for me at least to troll things near the bottom and up at the top rather than concentrating on the suspended stuff. All of us are guilty sometimes of thinking every fish marked is a trout too Many times bass and other species of fish suspend and are not interested in our lures regardless of presentation. Usually if you can find pods of bait someplace that will pay off with fish if you are persistent.

    Thanks Kev. I sure remember Spence.....incredible fisherman here on Seneca and in Alaska. The great thing about the way this thread turned out is that so many great knowledgeable people contributed to it with "specifics" and solid questions. It is a learning experience for everyone and a "win win": for all and especially to newcomers to the site or to fishing. Thanks to all who contributed. Les
