Thank you!

Water color from run off will not matter much at this time of the year. A lot of the kings are too far out by now.

Trying to plan a trip up inthe next day or so and just saw major flooding report on Albany news. Did that storm cause muddy creeks to dump in lake O etc? I'm a Sodus port fisherman, just wondered if the color etc changed because of storms Thanks

30lb flouro for Kings on wire divers 20lb flouro for browns/early kings on braid divers

I should be out Saturday morning I will pm you my #

20lb spoons, 30lb flashers

Ditto to what Finsntins said except I use 50lb mono leaders from diver to paddle.

Thank you, I will call them.

I called them today, waiting for a reply. Are they expensive?

Samsons in Red Creek did my stringers and transom. Did a nice job.

15lb fluoro for shallow browns 20lb fluoro for deep water browns and kings spoons 40 or 50lb fluoro for paddles

I run 20lb fluorocarbon leaders.

There is a 27 foot Pen Yan at my marina with a bad transom. The owner of the marina used to do stringers and transoms in the winter. I asked him what it would cost in today’s world to repair it and his answer shocked me. I hope your repair goes smoothly and isn’t crazy money.

Also looking to have a transom replaced in the next year or two, any other places out there besides BW Customs?

BW Customs in Sodus. He does excellent work therefore he is always busy. You will probably have to wait a while. I had a swim platform rebuilt and had to wait 6 months just to get it in.

For your Dipsy leader, which mono or fluoro test weight do you prefer, with paddle or spoon?

Trust me - Ive spent many hours untangling the messes I've created. I got a 400 steel (both the steel and the braid backer) wrapped up in my wire dipsey and meat rig two weeks ago...braid is a special beast with the ability to wrap itself tightly around anything it comes in contact with...after about two hours of trying to sort it out I ended up with ~125' steel and most of the dipsey wire saved. Ive found that having a few key backups (I have doubles of each rod/reel set-up down below) helps to avoid frustration and lost time on the water - I just toss the tangled mess down below to deal with onshore and pull up something clean that I can get back in the water. I fish like **** when I am all pissed off trying to untangle my messes... If you'd like to come out with me sometime for Id love the help DM me if interested - I get out quite a bit!

Will be out Saturday morning Pm sent with #
