Checkout Cabelas they are having a sale on all fishing gear right now... Their depthmaster rods are great and can't beat the price when they are on sale. They have a 8'6" ML rod that fits what your looking for, for $32!

Gander is now offering an additional "10% off sale" on everything left (still a good amount of stuff left too). Just FYI the 10% is in addition to the 20% off sale but don't get confused and think its now 30% off! Its 20% off then 10% off the discounted price... so technically 28% off lol.

No need for a backup... I'll cya at 530!

Chaumont Bay opening of walleye, not many other places in NY your gonna find a higher concentration of trophy size walleye.

As far as I know only the one in New Hartford is closing for NY stores. There's a list of the ones they announced were closing if you google search. 32 stores nationwide I believe, all "underperforming" stores. Lot competition in the Utica area honestly... 3 Walmarts, Bass Pro, Runnings, Dicks, 2 Herb Philipsons, multiple local bait/tackle shops. Honestly the Gander in new Hartford was terrible anyways, prices were outrageous. The 20% off closing sale barely made it worth shopping there.

Wow yeah Cummings carries just about every type/size net there is it looks like! I'll measure my hoop and hopefully it's a standard size. Pretty reasonable prices also thanks!

$75 for a gal of flex seal I might as well sell this net and buy a new one lol. I know Beckman is out of business so I was unsure if it was possible to get a replacement net. I suppose I could measure the hoop and try and find something else close in size.

Landing net coating So I picked up a really nice Beckman landing net from a buddy and tried it out over the weekend. Obviously worked great my only issue is the netting is uncoated and caused me some serious headaches with trebles getting tangled and caught inside the the actual webbing. Has anyone coated an uncoated net before? I was thinking maybe trying plasti dip that's meant for handles of tools. Stuff in almost $10 a can and I figure I need 2-3 cans of it to cover the whole net. Just wanted to see if anyone has tried this before I throw money away and possible ruin a really nice net.

If anyone is looking for something specific I plan on heading to mexico next weekend (weather permitting) to fish again and only live 10 mins from the Utica Gander Mt. Will prolly be heading there for myself later this week anyway. I have no problems picking up stuff and bringing it with me next weekend (Just FYI everything at this is Gander is no returns/refunds due to them closing). PM me

Mexico launch is fine, 6 boats outta there today from what I was told... heading up in the am!

Do you have the clamps to install them too?

WTB: Cannon downrigger rod holders Looking for a pair of single tube rod holders for a cannon mag 10 downrigger. Would also be interested in dual rod holders instead. Pm me

NY State Park Camping Been to a few of the campgrounds on Lake O and looking to do some more camping/fishing this year. My only complaint is some of the campgrounds open late in terms of spring fishing (some not until mid-May) My question is can you camp at these places during their "closed" seasons? Most campgrounds with boat launches are technically closed but you can obviously enter them and launch your boat, hike, X-country ski, etc. I had someone tell me they used to go a certain state park in their RV and camp for free until the park officially opened for the season. Specifically I'm looking at Long Point state park in Chaumont Bay which doesn't open until May 18. I wanted to do a trip for browns and possibly another for opening weekend of walleye.
