Help! How do I either stop further conversation on a topic I was the originator or, delete the entire post? thanks! Ksc4488 [email protected]

That other leader sent you a ship and built a hospital in Central Park. He was praised daily by your governor (I watched it every day!) and yet he sent only 21 patients to the ship while sending those known with COVID to nursing homes...we didn’t do that in Ohio. So please, let’s do talk about ignorance.... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks...I’m good for everything but copper, I’ve never used it. I’m currently reading Dan Keating’s book on Great Lakes Salmon & Trout strategies and I’m guessing he’ll be addressing copper in there somewhere. Given that, and knowing me, I’ll be ready for it by May. Anyway, thanks for the info! Have a great winter! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks, Charlie! I’ll try to stay at Lakeview in Tonawanda as I’ve stayed there before and know the proprietors...nice people! Anyway, when you suggested May, is there a temp, water or air, that you’d suggest I look for before heading up. If not, perhaps you could drop me a line, or better yet, I’ll pm you with my number, and maybe a couple/ three weeks ahead you can tell me to get my butt up there! Many thanks!

You are so correct! Oh well, if we’re lucky and the vaccine for this plague is found to be effective, I’ll see you all next May. Tight lines and hopefully, the happiest of holidays to you all! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I’ve never seen Lake Erie produce more walleyes than it has this year. Incredible fisheries! Now, if only the perch would return to the numbers of the past.... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Hey Gill-t, thanks for the reply. I understand your feelings on the matter but must also disagree a bit with you. We’ve been under mask orders for months here, one can’t go into a store without one. Our governor implemented a color chart for the counties of the state, red the worst, orange for less affected, yellow for even less then clear. Each color indicated different levels of protection required. Frankly, I thought your governor could have done same thing based on a conversation with a friend in Niagara County. Major metro areas red or orange, which basically is the way it is here and the less metro areas likely would have lower ratings as my friend indicated they hadn’t had a lot of cases there. Anyway, after Charlie, in one of posts in the south shore reports, suggested I come to Wilson in the spring, I think I’ll follow his recommendation. Tight Lines!

I’ve looked everywhere on here to figure out how to shut down comments or even delete my post, can anyone tell me how to do that? I simply wanted to express regret at not being able to come to NY to spend my money, catch a few fish and escape the issues caused by this plague. It was not meant to be fodder for political discussion nor to provide a forum for those who don’t agree with others about the issues of today.

I made a reservation at Four Mile Creek State Park. I’m a simple guy who sleeps in my truck but enjoys little things like showers and electricity. [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks for letting me know... I’m convinced! I made my reservations today. Going up the 13th and heading back to Cleveland on the 17th. Installed my Fish Hawk today, now to start making my lists! I’m excited! Thanks PA223! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks Vic! That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear. Based on your thoughts, sounds like to me I want to work the inside instead of going deep. I’ve never gone up this late as I usually try to get up there before the end of August so this should be fun! Many thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks so much...we were a couple of weeks behind in Lake Erie as well. I’m hoping I get a couple more replies before cementing my plans. Tight Lines! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I’m trying to make some escape plans and thought you all might share your thoughts. Now that Ohio citizens can come to NY, I’m thinking of coming up to Wilson/Olcott in mid September and wondered what I might expect in terms of fishing. Many Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to make some escape plans and thought you all might share your thoughts. Now that Ohio citizens can come to NY, I’m thinking of coming up to Wilson/Olcott in mid September. Would that be a good time to come up...too early/too late??? Many Thanks!

Ok, I thought I had it all figured out...I like the sound of 19 strand wire and the fact I don’t have to put new tips on the rods...question, what kind of “knot?” Does one use for that? Ok, on to the Downriggers...I went to Amazon shopping 40# PowerPro and SpyderWire...there were a lot of folks saying break strength was far less than advertised...anyone have any thoughts on those complaints? Thanks Again!

Ok, another question...when you set up a wire plan, do you change the tips on your rods or just use regular troll/diver rods?

Thanks everyone for your thoughts...your answers have led me to ask a few more questions...I hope you have time to respond. I wondered about the copper...I've never used wire...apparently the 30# Bloodline 7 strand is the preferred wire for dipseys...is that true about the thicker braid being better than a thinner one true re: Fleas?...50# Power Pro? I recall the last time I was up 30# Fireline was often favored by the Fleas. What knot do you use to tie the fluorocarbon to the wire? I think methods have changed a lot and I like to think I'm never too old to learn a new (to me) trick!

I'm going to reline my trolling reels this spring...what's your advice as to line for Downriggers and for Dipsey Divers. I've been using 30# Mono for the Riggers and 30# Fireline on the Dipseys but am thinking I may need to update my thinking. What to you all recommend for both scenarios? Thanks in advance for any advice for brands and weights!
