For Sale : USA walker manual down riggers
Sk8man replied to stripinline's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
Are you sure they are walkers? They look like the old Rivieras -

To me a boat is just a fishing platform to get me on the water (instead of shorebound) and as long as you can get out there and do the things you want to do it is all that really matters. I had my 13 ft. Whaler for 22 years and it got me out into the middle of Lake O many times (thanks to the dodger I had on the front of it )and I had so much equipment on that little boat that folks used to drive me nuts during derbies coming up too close to take pics of it etc. and I could manuever it in and out of traffic and turn around on a dime in the launches and head out while other folks were still jockeying around their bigger boats. It isn't what you have it is really how you use it and basically having fun while you're doing it. -
They are great brown spoons.....I had a second place brown with one in the Seneca Trout Derby one year.

Tiny jigs and spikes or (2 or 3)very small #12 gold Mustad Aberdeen hooks spaced about 10 inches apart with spikes and a small sinker below them
-
I believe that they have to have the person who is physically present name/address on them. -
Sneaky - Gator has given you some great info. Just make sure that when you put your names on the tip-ups you specify your daughters name on her 5 and not run the 10 with your name and address....it may not have been fully clear. I also believe that you need to be within watchful distance of them at all times (at one time I believe it was 50 ft. of nearest one). I once saw a guy get ticketed for leaving them unattended because he left his out while he walked back to his car about 3/4 mile away to get something and the DEC guy just happened to stop by then.

WTG Zack. We've been sticking with the gills etc. on Honeoye but I'm hoping to get out here on Canandaigua after the perch. Thanks for the "heads up" I'll let my son know as he fishes it at night sometimes there (smelt etc.). Les
-
Great . Thanks again for the report and info and best of luck to you finding those little guys Les

:smile: "I flipped up the clam wearing just a tee shirt and jeans" You're lucky she didn't have a straight jacket with her I always keep my mousies and waxies and spikes in my inner jacket pockets so they stay warm then lift up the bottom of the outer one to access them. Glad you avoided the push button problem. lately I have left my Clam Pro in the car or at home and used my "old school" ice fishing tent from the 70's it is much lighter to drag and more mobile but the strong wind raises hell with it. I used to use super large screw eyes for tie downs in the past....I'd just make a "starter hole" for the screw part and screw them in as far as I could and pack ice chips from my holes around thescrew eyes and they hardened up in the cold. Wasn't great on a warmer day though
-
Thanks for the report. I've been wondering how far the ice went etc. How much ice is out there at the 20 ft. mark?
-
I'm hoping to get to Keuka soon too. I haven't heard anything but I know there have been a lot of folks out on the ice lately but the south wind can really cut back that ice quickly at the north end. I also heard that they have been ice fishing at the Hammondsport end.... -
I think they may be over on the east side off the pull off area out fairly deep (about 26-30) if you can get out that far. It was open water and the edge of the shelf about there when I checked a couple days ago.
-
Cool! Man...what a difference a couple days makes with this temp...it was all broken up with open water day before yesterday. Was the bubbler operating?
-
Where did you go onto the ice at?
-
I had a reminder the other night why my clam isn't so great at 7 PM in the dark on Honeoye in the super cold with the wind blowing.. those damned tiny buttons on the frame.. ..Trying to push them in with frozen hands in the extreme cold is a real pain as they are so hard to depress so you can fold down the frame. I sure wish they had made them bigger or something

Wanted Bulk ice fishing jigs
Sk8man replied to Sean Youngblood's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
Check here....they have some great ones. My son turned me on to them http://www.jamminjigs.com/ice-pan-fishing-jigs/ Les -
I fished Honeoye yesterday so I haven't been back to check. There were guys launching their ice boats from the north end pier (where you tie up boats across from the ice cream place) yesterday before I left for Honeoye and I saw one guy in his hut out about 4 hundred yards out and to the left of that channel (the one to Sagers).
-
Yeah Bob even parted with a few of those dust ridden greenbacks from his wallet....I don't know why the people around him were surprised when he opened his wallet and the bat flew out
-
Sweet Chas! You could even "velcro" just a face cover on it without having to deal with a full cover if the seams of the housing itself are sealed.
-
You might want to call John and ask if it is possible to ship the canvas you have to him if it fits correctly "as is" and have a new one made from it. I know the preferred way is to actually fit it to the boat but see what he thinks....He is top notch in his work.

I just checked out the west side from Wyffels Road north and I couldn't see any places for access right now because the areas near shore are pretty much broken up ice and open water ( a lot from bubblers) so you can't get to good ice from there (e.g. Butler Road ). I could see where someone had been out from Butler fairly recently but now the near shore ice is broken up there. This south wind is breaking up the southern edge of the ice shelf and who knows what things will look like after days of this. There were three huts out from the Yacht Club but I couldn't see where they launched from and there was open water along the shore there. There were also three ice boats cruising the north end in front of Kershaw out quite a ways. On the east side at the pull-off area a few miles up the lake the ice was pretty "sketchy" and the end of the southern edge of the shelf was right out in front in about 15 or20 ft of water with open water there. I could see water moving within a crack in the ice near shore so it doesn't look "ready" yet anyway
-
Yeah if this was a website exclusively for chicks we'd be arguing about recipes I guess -
Thanks FLX. I heard there were about 100 huts out there today when my buddy drove by there. Just wonder what this prolonged south wind will do despite the thickness of it (i.e.undercutting)

3feathers - I did not use the word communism ...the word "Nazi" did come to mind but didn't use it either. I served 4 years in the military during the Vietnam era....how about you? I get kinda tired of hearing all the stuff from the liberal "freeloaders" and from my vantage point it does look like we are going down the hatch as a society because of the types of views folks like you seem to hold "sheeple" does seem to capture the essence of it.

3 feathers you are quite the "agitator" which is something that is common in small minded folks who pretend to have all the answers.
