    500' from the genny is a lot further. i never paid attention to the actual distance but it has to be at least 10 miles

    july 30th sandy creek shootout we fished out of rochester today for the shootout.left the launch at 5 am and motored out to 140' and set up.i told my team we would try there for an hour and then run deep if we weren't getting any bites.when we hit 165 fow our 400 copper pulling a 11" pro troll and a minion meat rig took off screaming. when the battle was over we put a 23+ pound king in the box. trolled out to 200 fow and i said spin it around and hit that spot again.second pass took a 22+ king on the same copper setup.so we worked the water all day and ended up boating many kings and had 4 nice fish to weigh. we weighed in at over 82 pounds and and were fortunate enough to have the biggest box and win the shootout against many great teams.thanks to Rob Matt and Brian for a great event.thanks to the sponsors.thanks to my team.my cousin ryan did a great job at the helm so i could tend lines.my friend brandon did a hell of a job on the reel and with the net. we will be back next year for sure.

    i always run seaguar fluro. a bit more stealth and more abrasion resistant in case it hits bottom

    monroe county offshore classic when the guys announced that they were bringing a tournament back to Rochester i wanted to support it. i got 2 of my cousins to commit so i entered.i wasn't feeling overly confident on saturday morning because we never had a chance to pre fish and my team mates were lacking in trolling experience. we waited for 5;30 am and dropped lines down in 150' of water straight out from port and hooked a 12+ pound coho on a free sliding cheater before i could get all the rods out. i reeled tight on it and fought it to the boat and the net man got the main spoon caught in the net and i watch the fish swim away. the disappointment didn't last long as the divers started firing and we started putting fish in the box.had another mishap on the rod later in the day and lost a mid teens king at the back of the boat with the prop cutting the line. we ended the day with 30+ bites and everyone had a great time and gained some valuable experience.we weighed in 2 mid teens kings, a mid teen laker, a small brown and a small king and finished 14th. less then 1 point out of the money. thank you to the organizers.Rick, Matt, Lucas, Larry. thanks to Chris from Minion trolling flies. the custom flies he tied me and his meat rigs were firing all day. team net breaker will back next year.

    can't help you with that.i have never put a 400 copper on a seagate.i use the okuma 55 for 400
  19. shawn393
    a 60 seagate will take 300 yards of 40# pp and 300' of 45#copper.i'm not sure if it will take a full 300 yards of 50#.i would put about 280 yards to be safe

    last i knew mitchell's bait and tackle on lake ave had it.the # is 585 663 4564
  21. shawn393
    the bite has been off more than it's been on lately but we have had some good days with the silver fish thanks to coppers and minion meat rigs.i can't buy a king bite on the riggers.the fish are there though
  22. shawn393
    no you have 3.every cyl has it's own
  23. shawn393
    my guess would be one of the ignition coils went bad

    my old man's neighbor at his cottage started feeding the mink out of his hand when he was cleaning fish and next thing you know there was 50 of them around getting in everyone's boats and chewing wires and making a mess.everyone was pissed and got a trapper to come in and get rid of them.never had a problem with them before or since that summer

    i think skipper is right about 650' of 40# being tight on that reel.i set up a second 45# 400 copper on a convector 55 over the winter and was only able to fit 550' of 50# pp while getting is as tight as possible with my spooling machine.i think the 55 is a bit bigger than the squal 30.you're not going to want the reel overfilled especially if you let people that aren't experienced with copper deploy it.
