More laws that don't work or won't be enforced but on people we don't like? Ain't like that hasn't happened before . Freedom of speech is just that , say what you will unless it's threatening

I installed the Kell Outdoors noise filter on my Yamaha kicker . Was a game changer .

I had a X4 and liked it . Was 800$ when I bought it . Sold it with the boat. The new model was 1200+ at the time . I got talked into a Depth Raider . 525$ new shipped to the house . I love it . Not a real fan of the coated cable but it's fine . Had a little interference problem . Got a noise filter for my kicker and it has worked flawless every since.

I use 80 or 65 power pro original on divers and 30# Big Game on riggers . Been doing this for years -
Don't reinvent the wheel . Use 30 # Big Game or something similar something . Heck ,I have even used the cheap Zebco from Walmart and it worked fine . Some of you guys just look for ways to waste your money .

Something I did with my probe rigger was I made a 4 ft lead of coated downrigger cable for my pinch pad release . I have a broom stick with a cup hook on it. I reach over and snatch the cable while the ball it at the surface and put the line in the release and deploy it that way so I don't have to pull the ball to the boat . Works great. -
I have been using pinch pad releases for 25 + years and I use to use blacks. I have used Offshore but I like the Scotty's better . Both work .

My feet get cold when it's warm and my Frogg Toggs were the best waders I have ever had and I have had like 5 pairs of Neoprene . At the price if you take decent care of them and they last 5 years you got your money's worth .

I bought some Frogg Togg Steelheaders at Fat Nancysa few years ago boot foot . Very warm and I like them . Reasonably priced 225$ I think

The solution to some of the nonsense that has been going on was taken care of Tues . At least it's a start .

What's your opinion of the current state of our fishery?
HB2 replied to Yankee Troller's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Well , the DEC has said repeatedly that it is bait related. I have my armchair quarterback theory on why but they are the guys with the most experience with this . Banner year this year they supplied . I saw the most bait I have seen in a long time out there this year . There has been a biatfish biomass rebound the last few years . We are only about 5# off the mark for bigger fish actually. Let's see what happens when we have continuous years with good bait instead of using this as an excuse to close the tribs . Let's wait and see next year if avg and top end are bigger . We had a banner year . Be happy for that and hope for the best . I met the daughter in San Antonio of a guy who fishes a lot of Lakers in lake Superior. I have been going back and forth with him. The Lakers he catches average 5 # and a 10# is a big fish . If he gets a 10 fish day , that's a lot . He is jealous of what we have . It certainly could be worse . We are not Lake Superior.
