  2. Anybody see any fleas yet?
  3. left know out sorry!
  4. Does anyone the contact info for Reel Rage Spoons. Thank You
  5. Nice fish and thanks for the report. Are there any public boat launches in Pultneyville?
  6. is there a launch at Pultneyville? if not where is the closest one?
  7. Congratulations on the new to you boat and thanks for all the great tips and reports throughout the year.
  8. In 1946 a friend of my dads Earl Crane from Hornell caught a 21lb Rainbow in Keuka fishing alone at night with a seth green handline rig. that was the new york state record until it was broke by a fish from lake ontario in I believe 1982.
  9. 30lb test but it has to be blood run sea flee. it is treated with a substance that makes it slick. not perfect but the best I have found yet. have to use wire cable on the downriggers.
  10. trouthunter, I use 30lb test. I put about 150yrds on my reel and then tie at least a 20ft Seaguar fluorocarbon 10lb test leader connected to the sea flea with a double uni knot. For Lake Ontario I use the same setup but use a 17lb test leader. i also use a double uni knot to connect the sea flea to the line that is on my reel. I dont put the sea flee on until the first week in June. Good Luck
  11. if you aren't using blood run sea flea line give it try. it doesn't totally eliminate them but does help. best i have found yet.
  12. we used long handled nets that had fine mesh bags when we fished nights on the finger lake years ago. you still might find some around the finger lakes bait shops. fishy business on keuka lake or roys on seneca lake might still carry them.
  13. you guys that run braid on your slide divers later in the year don't you have problems with fleas?
  14. Do you have to let all of the line out when running steel line like you do when running copper.
  15. NK28's,michigan stingers,dreamweavers,silver streak spoons in greens,orange,and yellow. every day is different with the color. standard and magnum spoons are usually the best. This is what works for me.
