Fun as always! I wish i lived closer to that river. The Genny is so hit or miss....I dont know the Oak well or Burt for that matter.

Your Crazy! Those chips your selling are some HOT colors! Not to mention there are 17 flashers bro...your post says 13. If you posted this about a month from now I'd take them off your hands, but Christmas has me strapped!

You'll love them!

We, my brother and I, met Andy at Fat Nancy's around 7:30, and I got to play with my first float rod and reel set-up. I was super excited to go out and fight some of those winter steelies on it. We hit the water and its super packed with fisherman. It didn't take long for my brother, who is a first time drift boater, to hook his first fish. It also didn't take him long to kick our tails! I think we ended the day with my brother landing 5 fish (4 Steelies and 1 Brown), Andy landing 2 (One that tipped the boga at 12lbs), and me 0 for 2 on the new set-up and an ugly sucker fish landed. The trout don't get along with me on the lake, and they don't show any love on the streams! As for the pluggin method.....it didn't pan out for us today. We tried it real quick, but I was so much into getting the new rod and reel broke in that we didn't give it much of a chance. here are some pics of our fish. Andy with his brute!

Not on Christmas Eve! Im a coprporate beyotch! They give us that day off!

Thanks for callin me and askin if I wanted to go! I didnt even know the ice was safe enough down there yet.

I pretty sure there isnt any "rack storage" like you see down near the ocean. However, I think 4C's and/or Lake Breeze would store it inside and put it in when your coming up. They are located in Point Breeze where the fishing is pretty consistent all year.

I'm here to help you fisherman with your style. Looks are generally what first impressions are based upon. You don't want people to think your some redneck do you? Roll with me and I'll show all of you how to look good!

Too damn expensive! $90

I have only had one Dipsey Diver that would not stay put, so i dont think that problem is all that common. Maybe a bad batch was sent out, but I wouldnt throw ourt ur dipseys to go buy another brand. i woud run them side by side though and once your comfy with a Walker Deep Diver then slowly switch over.

Lucky! I want to kill a bear!

I have no gripe about a tax if its going for improving that certain program, but look at other things the govt. taxes us for to pay for programs not related to it. Someone mentioned the thruway tolls above to help offset canal projects. What about ATV registrations in NY? I cant find a damn place to ride around here. Closest place is over an hour away. Until very recently you paid tax on gas you put in your boat and none of that was going towards marine projects. It all went to the roads, and the people who sit on the guard rail when they fix them.

Yeah, did you hear bout that! A FAT tax! I'm screwed!

This is the first I have heard about this. What a bunch of bullchit! Damn Democrats at ti again with their taxes. This state is ridiculous, and the freebies need to stop! However, until the republicans find a way to win over NY (Which will probably never happen) this is the chit we will have to deal with. Hank, We all look forward to whatever you find!

I was supposed to hit up Conesus for some SM, but slept in. I was very pissed when I woke up and saw it was almost noon. I NEVER sleep that late even when I'm out all night. Oh well, I'll b out all winter as long as it is above 35.

LMFAO

Ya see! There ya go! Crocs or Fivefingers will help ya out in that situation and the crocs are REAL comfy. BTW....i hear ur gonna have one in the oven REAL soon. Is that true?

Sneakers get wet and then smell! With all the fish I catch there is a lot of deck washing.

Placement of the rods: The "Low Diver" should be closest to the back of the boat and the most parallel to the water. The “High Diver†should be a little bit behind the “Low Diver†and the tip of the rod should be elevated slightly above the “Low Diver.†First off it helps if you have two different length rods. On our boat we use Daiwa Heartland Rods. The "Low Diver" or "Deeper Diver" is the shorter of the two rods measuring 9'6". The "High Diver" or "Shallowest Diver" is a 10'6" rod. Both of which are spooled up with 1000' of 30lb 7 strand trolling wire. Once you get used to this set-up it is a very simple presentation to deploy. This is to place both the High and Low diver in the water at the same time. Loosen the drag on the Low diver and let it go at a fast creep. With the High diver I let it out on the clicker. Watch your counters and when they get to the amount of feet out stop them and set the drags. For the first timer? Here is how I would deploy them. Let your high diver out and set it where you want it to be. Next, take you Low diver and place it in the holder. Let it out on a slow drag.

Cant.....you need the cable for the signal. If you have a Fish hawk I would suggest the Palomar knot for any Braid.
