  1. Past hour
  2. Found good fishing out deeper yesterday off sandy, meat took the best 3 fish in 350'-425'. Chinook divers back 180-220' and riggers 90-110'. Found smaller fish and warmer water inside of 170'. Finished 9 for 11 solo.
  3. When it comes to silver plating why would Hinkley be using a plating different from Sutton, when there are Govt. imposed standards? I have new Sutton's purchased a week ago, I will see how they hold up. Also for some of the old ones I purchased some Rust-oleum metallic finish, "rich shiny finish fast drying", and I am going to try spraying several spoons, with three coats and see how it works on the upper water column. For the deep water 60-150 I use Stingers silver on one side, green on the other--usually works. Not all Stingers are silver plated, watch the packaging. I also use glow in the dark tape on one side, for deep water. I only fish Seneca Lake. You can tell if a spoon is silver plated by putting small dot of clorox on it, and it immediately tarnishes. You can remove the tarnish with a silver polish.
  4. Today
  5. I got of work early and took advantage of nice evening tonight. Fished til 8:30 trying a new piece of rock. We went 4-6 on walleye, a bunch of sheep, a bass and a football brown trout. Bandit electric zebra took all the fish on my brother’s side of the boat back 55-65’. On my side it was a Livingston Deep Diver back 115’-65’ that took the most fish. Word has it that Barcelona has tons of fish.
  6. I took my kids out of sandy this morning. The bite was fast and furious till about 9:00 in 150 to 200 fow. Then it was a grind till about 11:00 when we got back into them east of sandy in 180 fow. Northeast troll was best for us all day.
  7. Went out from Sandy today, lines in at 9:30 out at 2:30 We really struggled fished in 150 to 180 fow had one release on the rigger with nothing there. At 12:30 we were still getting skunked so headed in for lakers getting 6 of them and a brown. doubled on the rigger rod with a laker and a brown on the cheater which was cool. Anyone else have any luck today?
  8. So far I have restored 4 aluminum boats. My first rebuild was a boat that was a sixteen foot boat like the ones used in the Bay of pigs fiasco. The rest all Starcraft, a Holiday and 2 Islanders. I may be able to help you out dependent on what you need done.
  9. Yesterday
  10. I am interested if these are available
  11. I am looking for referral in the Rochester to Canandaigua area of someone that restores/rebuilds aluminum boats. Thank you.
  12. Rounded over threaded stud came out of tang and mashed all the threads. Now my boat has rod knock.... Not very happy
  13. The Suttons are good spoons and I have used them for over 50 years and my grandfather used them just after they came out around 1900. I have hundreds of them in various sizes and weights and finishes. A problem with them is that there have been plating problems with them for the past few years and the finish on them doesn't hold up like the older versions. That is why I suggested you try the Elmer Hinckleys gold and silver finishes as they are superb.
  14. Forgot to mention the boat has hydraulic steering
