  1. snowed all day here,everything is white,actually have a couple inches on the deck.
  2. lots of good reading here on lou,lotsa salmon school in niagra falls in the end of january,and dan keatings books are also good.you can find them on amazon.
  3. fished yesterday around the salmon river from 30 to 70 fow and was suprised when we pulled the wire lines the amount of fleas on them.not real thick,like in the summer,but they were more then a foot up from the swivel.
  4. fished today from 11 to 3 and never moved a rod,from noon on we were the only boat out there,so you wont have to worry about traffic.water is COLD!!!!44 degrees top to bottom from 25 fow out to 70 fow.
  5. i believe running with any light on(spot light or docking lights) other then your nav.lights at night is illegal????
  6. i hear ya,im not into it either and it will be the end for us also soon,time to start getting ready for winter,but there havent been many boats out there,last sunday there wasnt a dozen boats and it was a beautiful day,im not complaining!!!
  7. nice fish!why aren't you still out there???????
  8. i have a portable xm head unit,then you can buy the docking stations and put one in your truck,car,boat,house and then when you get to the dock,take the head unit out of your truck and plug it into the docking unit in your boat and you are good to go.if you are going to replace the stereo in your boat,get one with a rca jack in the front,then all you need is a rca cable to connect docking station to stereo.i bought the complete kits that come with the docking station and antenna on ebay for about 15 bucks a piece.
  9. we use to launch at the light house marina right in the salmon river,just inside from the lake,not sure if it is still open.i think it was 7 bucks and you just put it in an envelope and slid it in the door of the marina is nobody was around.
  10. We went Saturday to the open house,the first part of the ladder where the gate is to let fish in was full,the next section had some fish and the rest of them to the stream had a fish or two in them.we watched the fish jumping up the ladders and noticed a lot of small fish,there were some monsters in there,but saw a lot of small ones.
  11. Pretty good bite last two days from Selkirk to the big river from 5 pm through dark,everything and anything took fish,spoons,paddles,meat,2 color,5 color,riggers and dipsies.2 for 5 sAturday and that came from 3 to 5,and today we went 9 for 13,10 of the 13 bites came between 6 and 8.40 to 50 fow wa best.
  12. thanks for the info!!!
  13. we run diawa accudepths for riggers,lead core,and flat lines.
  14. We ran over to the plant,trying to avoid the crowd,went 1 for 5.most action we have had all season.fished from green building to alcan.70 fow out 120 fow.110 to 120 was best.just could not keep them locked up.landed 1 brown.kings we hooked up on ripped out,but then came unbuttoned.green paddles with meat or green flies took all the bites.nothing on j's or spoons.
  15. fish or no fish,4 to 7 footers today and 3 to 6 tomorrow.
  16. thats pretty much been the going rate this year,you will probably get more help and replies if you post in the south shore reports if you are looking for info. for the trench.

    is this boat still for sale,have a friend looking for one.
  19. all it takes is one!!!!
  20. Nice job rod,you had more action today by yourself then we have had in a month!!!!
  21. same here,coppers out on otter boats and scotty 1174 releases with shower curtain clips to the backing.
  22. hey pap,i believe green point marina or the other one,cant remember the name on sandy pond is an e-z steer dealer,they may have one in stock.
  23. i feel your pain as far as it being an expensive hobby!!!! we also love every minute we get to spend on the lake.i have spent many hours trolling for lakers also in the fulton chain and raquette,the big difference between adk lakes and the great lake o is current.the adk lakes dont have much if any,so you can get away with using sog on your gps,but like i stated above,i have seen gps speed and down speed be as much as 2 mph difference.i think that is why you are having a tough time.you have the right gear,you are in the right areas,just think your speed is off,just my 2 cents.1 thing you can try this year to get your speed right is a thumper rod i believe its called,i have never tried one,but i have read thats what they did before probes and i think some guys still use them.you will have to do some research as i am not familiar with them,but i think its just a lead weight with a metal dodger on it and what it does is when your speed is right,you will see your rod tip"thumping"if you go to fast or to slow,you will not see your rod tip"thumping",just something to try this year.i bought my fish hawk through bass pro,every so often they run a special where you get 6 months,with no interest to pay it off,takes the sting out of it a little.did it over the winter and was paid for by the time fishing season arrived or you can look on e-bay for an older fish hawk 840,can probably find one for 100 bucks or so.
  24. gps speed and down speed can sometimes be 2 mph different.i know they are expensive,but worth every penny,i would invest in a probe.
  25. down speed under 2.0 ????
