    I made some 1.5x12" they did have less blow back but I saw a lot of turbulence coming off/ behind them on my sonar the entire length of the weight which I figured might spook the fish. They weigh 11# ea. Check out u-tube video. "How to stack two rods on your Downrigger" by Kokanee kid fishing. He shows a pipe wt.

    Check out the 19 strand Torpedo wire. It works very well, kink resistant, also can use easy knots with it. I have been using it for a few years now & with regular rod guides & tips.

    Stone, it sure didn't take you long to get the foot disease! lol I waited 2yrs before I got it. started with a 16ft., then got an 18, then a 20 & now staying at a 22 footer. But I also have another 16 ft. You jumped right to a 25 footer. Congrats, now you have a real hole in the water to throw your $$$$ into! lol Good luck with her.

    Caught 14 lakers yesterday & released all but 1 for the smoker! We either unhooked them in the water never netting them or we did the boga grip thing & it worked perfect held the fish along side the boat & let them go when they were ready. Thanks for the info, guys! BTW all where caught on Gambler rigs.

    C&R fish What is the best way to return fish (kings ,lakers & steelies) to the lake? We don't want to keep fish many times. We get them off the hook as fast as we can. We have tried reviving them next to the boat, thrusting them in head first & just putting them back in & nothing seems to work. It really ticks me off when they float belly up then we try to go back to get them. What are we doing wrong? Any ideas? Thanks

    I believe you can get a slip at Chadwicks marina right across from the Dunkirk launch.

    We had a guy at Dunkirk the other day put his boat in the water , tied to the only dock that wasn't covered with goose crap. Then he went to park his car/trailer took his time walking back then decides to go to the john, comes out 10 mins. later in shorts & tee shirt after he went in with long pants & long sleeve shirt! All the while his boat tied up the dock & no one else could launch! And to top it off the 2 guys working the launch sat in the building doing nothing to clean the dock covered with crap. I did let my feelings be known before I left!

    We call them soup strips, dip in boiling water! lol

    The guys that park just their trucks/cars in spots that are for trucks/cars WITH trailers are the one s that PO me. They should park in the spots just for cars! Park on the edges of the lot or grass don't use the trailer spots. I have also had guys back their trailer in front of my boat at the dock while I went to get my trailer, I get back & I can't back in to get my boat out of the water because they are in the way, come on really!! Another time a guy asked if he could go ahead of me while I was getting my boat ready to launch, I said yes nly to get to the launch & find him in the launch just putting in his skis, coolers, lines, bumpers etc. I ended up waiting 5 min. for him. never happened again!

    Has anyone ever tried the dryer fabric softener sheets? I heard if you rub them on your skin they should work.

    Wash fish slim/smell off the floor/carpet & gunnels once in awhile using a soap, no flies!
  20. lineman49
    Great smiles & pics.
  21. lineman49
    Congrats, they are hooked now!
  22. lineman49

  23. lineman49

    Ray4852, Then small boat is not run by the NFTA. anymore. It was taken over by the state a few years back which made it a state park, & they are the one's that put in the new launch . It is their design along with the Army corp. of engineers. & it was their way or nothing! People can't figure out why they just didn't make the new launches like the old ones that worked great for years.?
