just passing along, i had a tough time finding Herring last year, this year didn't start off any better
i ran across an add on facebook, and glad i did, I picked up 5 trays of blue label, and this is some great looking bait

i'm 1 1/2 hrs from ontario, with these prices, my truck is gonna burn more than 50$ just to get there and back
when ethanol free breaks 5$ gallon, regular is over 4$ gal, my gas bill will break couple hundred week
thanks for all these tips,
one thing i struggle with when going this slow, what do you do on your other rigger
and what would you put on dipsys, can you run flashers that slow?
I'm sure you had a good laugh watching us get the boat ready in the pooring rain haha
the weather did turn out nice, we did a beatiful 7lb brown and a few 7lb lakers
just couldn't break the 7lb mark, had a great time though, congrats on a beautiful brown
i'm a big fan of the Okuma blue diamond rods, they're Inexpensive and really built well for the money

i like the stealth core for my bigger reals
however i had a few 20 size reals i wanted to try as short cores
2 colors, 3 colors of suffix 832 micro 18lb on a okuma coldwater 20 size real, has been amazing on the browns
the plan is to launch at Lodi state park, i'm just not sure about where's closest place to weigh in fish
i'd hate to have to pay at sampson just to weigh in, maybe watkins
hey guys, quick question
where's the best place to weigh in fish, samsen or drive to geneva?
this is our first year in, and i've never fished seneca before so i just don't know where the most room is, i'll have my boat with me
my cannon retrieve kits came with like 8 foot cords, i have 5' booms and still cut a couple feet off, maybe someone cut yours to fit
might be easier to just buy new kits, you can find them on sale for 10$
i fish out of a 19foot alumacraft, i know exactly what you're talking about
it is scary some days, with my double battery system, and 9.9 merc, mine sits really low, and when you're setting riggers hangin over the back, will make you think
it will limit your trolling direction more than anything else, if you troll into the waves, it's harder to control, however it's really your only option some days
I love my boat, and it's perfect for the finger lakes, however the next one will have a higher transom for sporty days
