NEW Fish Hawk Equipment - Live Release Show 11/29

Prior to the fleas I used to use 12 lb. Big Game with a 10 lb Seguar fluoro leader on both the Fingers and Lake O. After the fleas it has been 30 lb SeaFlee with 10 lb leader on Fingers and 20 lb fluoro on Lake O. During the early Spring and late Fall I use the former setups on the Fingers when the fleas aren't a problem.

It appears to be largely related to warm water temps and when the water gets about 50 or so they seem to disappear but I have read that they definitely winter over.

Several friends and neighbors have had knee and/or hip replacement procedures. Each of them has mentioned that it has been life changing. The rehabilitative therapy (PT) is not easy but as stated above it is totally necessary and can drastically affect to final outcome of the surgery according to them. If it were me I would also check to the degree I could (e.g. online or with people that have had a particular surgeon do it, maybe talk with your primary care physician if you respect his/her judgement). Sometimes reviews can be helpful. Not all surgeons are equal and you should have confidence in the one selected, but also the procedures themselves (multiple ways of doing the surgeries with different re-cooperation times) have improved greatly in recent times.

Keuka - suggestions on jigging for lake trout
Sk8man replied to BigBoreBrian's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Your tips came from very knowledgeable guys so you can rely on the info, but also know it can be a rather difficult lake to fish sometimes too nowadays but I think the fish are also pretty desperate for food there which can be a plus . Best of luck with it -

for sale : usa Trolling gear $1000
Sk8man replied to slow rollin's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
Ditto. Everyone's financial situation is different and many folks have spent thousand after thousand slowly over time but here is a chance for someone to get into the trolling game in one bundle and for a very reasonable amount of money considering the selection of things included. When you contrast this with what it would cost new it becomes very clear that it is a good deal though maybe not be possible for everyone but that is true of many things in life. Best of luck with the sale! -

Will do thanks Ted. Anthony. The leaders have spring clips (homemade) at the end which snap to the bead chains so it is just a matter of setting the rod in the holder while I hand line the leaders in. It can be a bit hectic when either 2 fish are on one rig or there are fish on two rigs at once Usually I run three rigs even solo. I use 40 ounce weights that I get from Troutman87 (Harvey) and they work great. I coat them with Plastidip to minimize lead contact and prevent boat scratches.
