  1. With these fishing commercials I wonder if the fish they show were even hooked. Or if they had them in a tank and just hung the lure from their mouth when they presented them. Theyre always hooked perfectly right in the corner. Something tells me otherwise. Haha
  2. In regards to King Davy's post on page 3 I also agree that Steelhead are much more respected than say the Kings and Browns. Ive fished these tribs for close to 5 years now and I cant remember more than 2 times Ive seen the steelhead abused opposed to the kings and Browns which as we all know occurs everytime we go out in those early fall months. In my experience obviously the kings are snagged the most but the browns come in second I believe is obviously due to the closeness of the runs. As a tributary fish however steelhead are obviously the crown jewel but when it comes to boat fishing everyone wants their hands on a screaming dispsy rod. Now i would like to see a comeback of the Atlantics but not at the expense of the Kings. Besides many charter captains lean on the kings to fill their boats with clients and with this being a future dream of mine I dont want to see them take a backseat either. They are simply the most powerful bully on the lake and the 300+ foot runs are mind boggling to new fisherman. But as a taxpayer if this is a lost cause and truly dead money i say its not worth it to make a giant deal out of it. Just keep it where its at now and dont expand.
  3. This is true. My buddy's father had his boat out cruising around and hung up on a boulder. Luckily he was just doing about 5 mph watching the bald eagles in the trees.
  4. You can get out but with a wnw wind 10 to 20 mph on Saturday night through Sunday there's going to be some good sized waves.
  5. Brackets in. Lets see if i can do better than previous years.

    20lb Rainbow

    holy steelhead.
  7. How much and how many left?
  8. That is bad a$$. I sense a new project on the horizon.
  9. Where are u located?
  10. That's it. I've seen enough. Bringing the small boat up this weekend. I can't wait for the docks to go in to get out!
  11. i used to stack. hated it. Lower rig fires and gotta start all over. Perhaps try running 3 riggers with one either ran down the middle or angled towards the middle.
  12. 75-85 overcast, 2 footers, nw wind. and i second the blondes but must add a cooler full of cold brews and iced down 30 lb kings in the fish boxes.
  13. Haven't stopped since September. Great winter run
  14. Banana shaped rigger weights. What will they think of next.
  15. Anybody know if its open or not?
  16. I also fish Canadice and Hemlock and let me tell you be sure you have a driver if you do decide to run dipsys. The size one dipsy will spin your boat around as soon as it hits the water. Last year i began using them on the fingerlakes (always run on big boat) out of my 14 footer at canadice. I had my riggers about 3 foot up from me because the ebam wasnt wide enopugh to run them off the back. No my boat tracks pretty good if I climb up front. Now i attached the rod holder i was going to use for the wire rods about 3/4 of the way up the boat and as soon as the dipsy hit the water it spun me right around. After some practice i got pretty good at deploying them out at the exact same time but i moved my rod holders to behind the riggers right by where I drive. Now sturdy rod holders are a must but metal ones arent a necessity like they are on Lake O. The fish simply dont get as big. The plastic cannons you can get at dicks i run. Hope this helps and good luck. Maybe I'll see you out there some day.
  17. How much for that boat? Or tree? Or tree boat? Haha
