All Activity

I heard about the evening releases. 5PM will help, but still gives those birds time to feed. I stocked up on bottle rockets in PA recently and will be ready for them.

I really wish the DEC would put more pressure on the feds to regulate their population. The Canadian side has opened a season.

We releasing 37k browns for Sandy in the evening to help minimize the time birds will have to hover immediately following the release.

Some good flocks of them in I-Bay also. Not good news for the browns with the direct stocking coming up

Would like fishing techniques for perch and trolling it for trial by canandaigua lake

I fish solo most of the time in a 17 footer. I use the s clip set up and anything over 8 feet is difficult to unclip the diver and keep the line tight

Standard rings with a twilly tip will work fine. I would be concerned that a shorter rod doesnt have enough forgiveness for a diver especially a large one. Big advantage in running a longer leader with a longer rod as well as working fish around riggers, outboards etc. A short one will work fine I'm sure but most of the rods specifically designed for wire divers are 9 or better. I think all of mine are 10 footers. Most of my shorter freshwater rods designed for trolling dont have near enough backbone for a diver. If you have some heavier ones they should work fine. If you arent sure, run your TDR. At least if something goes wrong you arent out an expensive rod.

I have no need to overcompensate . 7 foot has been fine with braid.

Way too short in my opinion.

I have some twili tips, looking for 7-7’6” foot rods for wire diver. Will the aluminum oxide rings on standard talora rods work? Or TDR with same guides? If not any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

mexico bay loaded with them as well,most ive ever seen.

Cormorants are loaded on Lake Erie in Ohio. Unreal amounts
