Yankee Troller

If Bob doesnt take them I will Let you know.

If Bill catches a Brown Trout I'm all done with the trip!

When we get some ice give me a shout. I would be glad to take you.

I would have reccomended Irondequoit bay for Perch, but the weather isnt looking very friendly lately.

If she does give the better looking one tome and the other one can go to LandShark!

Maniac - Time and Date? You tell me and I will be there! Lets make plans?

Does it get rough with the current? Is that why you talked about the low freeboard? I've taken many a wave over the bow but the water is generally warmner when i do that. I got a 36volt 101 thrust trolling motor......do you thinkthat will work?

TOO MANY BUTTON BUCKS are killed each year! 3 of them were killed this past weekend on the farm. If Im shooting a doea and its belly doesnt sink down then im not pulling the trigger! All of the 8 pt's taken off the farm were 2.5yr old bucks.

We never traveled to the bar after the the first weekend of the Spring Derby. There were kings in front of Wilson the whole month.

I have seen better! The deer I shot with the bow I saw pushing a does opening weekend of archery. I saw that all season long, but nothing crazy like 3 bucks chasing a doe.

How do you hold up there in the river? Do you anchor or back troll? Think my bass boat will work up there? Are there things you have to watch out for when you running like a shoal or underwater island? I wanna go bad!

I just picked up 2 of them, and I hope they work like a Lowrance. Other than that I cant help, sorry!

This monday? Sure! I would be careful of the ice after yesterdays rain......but Im sure you already know that.

I stayed in Clarksville at the motel right on the lake. It wasnt bad, but the cabins sound nice. That runand gun technique works well on Lake Oneida when chasing down active Smallmouth. When I was in Kerr i saw guys floating downthe middle of the res. with 4 HUGE bobbers behind the boat. I thought they were stripper fishing......

I have took two trips there withthe bass boat in March/April. Neat place when your used to the round puddles we have in NY. We caugt some nice bass and some MONSTER crappie.

Set up at 6am and pulled em' at 10:30. Landed 5 pike, all hammer handles, and filled up half a bucket with some real nice perch. Lost a few pike who had the droppsies and some flags where the perch were playin with us. It was a good day to be out and the ice was safe at 3". Perch took big fatheads off tipdowns. Pike were eating up our creek chubs. Headed for the southern tier to end the day and filled my last DMP! So it was a good day.

I got lazy and didnt post......maybe I'll head there now and do so.

Damn Steve, ya beat me to it! Whats your s/n on archerytalk?

Only problem with those rods are they are a graphite blank. With the wire and the no stretch I would rather have a glass blank. Its more forgiving. Thats what the Heartland is.

I wouldnt bother with a twilly tip for a few years. The ceramic eye on the hertland will hold up just fine. It cant hurt, but not necessary right away.

Usually in May the Kings will show up off Rochester. Its different every year. I remember 3-4 years back where the King fishing iff Rochester was almost as good as the bar action, but that was onlt for a week or so. When I used to fish Rochester exclusively May would be when the Kings started to show up some. But, we wouldnt catch them pounding the shore. You had to look deeper for them. One Spring ESLO (the last ESLO spring derby when they switched the spring from 4 days to two weekends) We took a pair of 22lb fish in front of the Genny. If it would have stayed a 4 day derby we would have had grand prize and first place. If I remember correctly a captain from the Genny was leading the Spring LOC this past year for quite some time.

Good stuff man! Thanks

I know a lot of guys, including myself, using the 9' Daiwa Dipsey Diver rods and they are working very good. Retail on them is 29.99, so it does t hurt the pocketbook as bad as the reels and copper. I also reccopmend ATOMIK for the reels and copper. Definatley make sure he marks it for you. I hear a lot of guys saying they want a couple of set-ups.....if you dont plan on running them outside your spread with boards you can get by with 1 600' reel. If marked every 50' you can run it down the cute and put it right in the strike zone.
