    The company I work for does contract work at that plant. There's nothing like working in or near the "cake off" building on a summer day. Rather be working in the morgue coolers.

    Looks like Shipbuilders Creek.

    Thanks to both you guys. Sounds about like I expected/hoped. Now I have something to do this weekend. Four weeks to splash!

    Rotten Doghouse Repair The engine doghouse on my Thompson is completely rotted. I can push a metal rod down through the full length of the plywood like it is butter. Aside from just hogging out the rotten plywood and fitting another piece of plywood to be pushed down inside the fiberglass shell, is there anything I should know regarding adhesives, epoxies, sealants etc? What is the most effective way to repair? Thanks.

    Opinions on Penn Warfare Reels Has anyone tried the Penn Warfares out? I don't know how long these have been around, the first I heard of them was recently. Just looking for opinions from anyone who has used them. Thanks

    First weekend in April for me usually. That's when they swing the bridge at the mouth of I-Bay bay also.

    The county launch at I-Bay is $8.00 I think, but it is an absolute zoo from 11am on. The whole bay is for that matter. Always reminds me of that scene from Caddy Shack.

    Three of us were fishing I-Bay about 7 or 8 years ago and one of us went through three times on the way back to shore. The third time we thought it was all over for our friend. We took a different route back to shore than we went out on without really thinking about it. Walked our way right into some bad ice. It was like walking through a mine field. At one point I felt one of my feet start to go through and did a quick high step just in time. Just by luck we had brought two ice augers and were able to use both of them to make a two man, two auger chain on the second and third times. I haven't gone ice fishing since.

    After the dock. maintenance, repairs, gas, tackle, storage, insurance and beer, that's what I pay a pound for salmon.

    Maybe Pugsley's on 104 in Ontario or possibly the place on Empire Blvd across from South Point. I think it may actually be part of or associated with South Point Marina.

    Based on the Ademco box, the camera box and the B connector box I'm guessing we're in the same industry. Those B connector boxes are the best for tackle, especially flies.

    I believe anything that sinks must have single hooks. J-plugs and flatfish will work. Fish will start running anytime now if they haven't already started. Even if you don't have any luck, the river gorge is a great place to spend a sunny fall day.

    She is still running great and catching fish Rich. I added some LED lighting and a solar battery charging system this spring. I also removed the sponsor decals from the hull, too many people wanting to fish near me because I looked like I knew what I was doing.

    Don, I'm not sure where Ransomville is but I am still in the water until at least early October in Irondequoit Bay if you want to take a quick ride some night and get a feel for it yourself.

    Don, I have a 96 24' Fisherman HT with the 4.3l V6 and it does fine. It also has Bennett trim tabs which help a great deal getting up on plane but she will cruise 23mph at 4100 rpm with 5 guys in the boat. With two or three people she jumps out of the water pretty good, 4 or 5 and you have to work the trim tabs a little. I keep the engine tuned and maintained and it pays me back with excellent reliability. (I probably just hexed myself.) She will push 30mph if you want to run WOT but I never do. It was quite an adjustment going from an aluminum with an outboard but once I got used to it I loved it. Great on fuel too.

    Hey Guy, I'll take what you have left. I'll be at the bay having a beer on Thursday and can catch you then.

    OK Thanks.

    Are those all 28s or are some D4s? I am interested in D4s if some are.

    I did the same in April. There are some om ebay still. New.
  22. jlogger
    I work in Rochester as well. Northeast side. Is there a place we can meet? Team Rabid Weasel is in for all three.

    I got one earlier this year on ebay. There were a few more for sale.

    Good steelie action 40-50 down over 150-170fow off of Webster. If you drop below that to 80-105 down there were nice 12-15 lb lakers suspended taking a spinny and fly and an occasional spoon. Mixed in a small king also. We actually boated a steelie, king and laker within a 10 minute span at one point. Doubled up numerous times. It was kind of a flood or famine day. Riggers with sliders, divers and 300 copper. We stayed between nine mile point and the white house. Total of 3 for 4 on steelies, one king and 8 lakers. Big steelie about 9 or 10 lbs, big laker about 15 lbs. Steelies were putting on awesome aerial shows. Pretty much skipped the photo ops in lieu of quick releases. Attached photo of best spoons and fly.

    When running the "SWR" what method is used to attach the leadcore to the rigger release? I've heard that the releases directly on the leadcore will damage the leadcore, or is that not true? Is it just a matter of a preset length of lead attached to the mono with the mono in the release?
