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.

OK here ya go.... The one that got astray was b/c me and a buddy tried to shoot at the same time to see whos arrow got there first. 60yards and that white dot is 3inches round.
-
I dont know what your talking about Billy!
-
Just dont run me over like you did themboys over near Braddocks! Bythe way your buddy in the pic below docks next to them....LOL

Typically flutter spoons work best at slow speeds. Most spoon manufacturers spoons now a days can troll down nicely. I think your best bet would be NK lites, Stingers, and evil eyes.

Hey, thanks for the stats. Why is alleghany still down? Let me guess could it be money....LOL? Something interesting I found out about the other night at our meeting was for every dollar the State invests into sportfishing it recieves 8 back. Thats a pretty good return dont ya think? Oh, I forgot in my earlier post that collectvley a bunch of organizations funded a pump for the Salmon rover hatchery b/c the one they had was broken or about to break. WE got them a nice brand new pump and its been a year and it still isnt in use. You know why? Becasue it isnt as efficient as the state wanted it to be by less than a couple percent! And ther isnt even a law or regualtion that states how efficient it must be! Not to mention the pump we all chipped in to buy was a heck of a lot more efficient than what they had!

OK guys.......have you had enough of NYS DEC bull crap? A few years ago we lost our stocking numbers for Lake Trout (Gamble and Jax I know you guys were very very upset about this). We still arent stocking the numbers we were before VHS.....why? Now we are short Salmon eggs! Which means that all our pen projects are at jepordy. We have pretty good data that shows the impact of these pens over normal stocking (from what I am told, but I have never seen it). Instead of the DEC coming up with a contingency plan if we didnt make our quota they told us not to worry it will rain. Im no rocket scientist, but when a meteoroligst goes to school for X amount of years and cant get it right how does a DEC employee know its going to rain. Who knows whats next, but Im not willing to wait. Someone needs to hear about this, and the best way is to write to our supposed leaders. The only way they are going to listen is when we start talking money. As in how much the state will loose if the fishery goes down the drain. I appologize for my rant, but we cant sit back and let this stuff happen. So, I am asking anyone out there that enjoys what we have to fight for it. Join an association that can help you fight for what you want. LOTSA is a great one and the Genesee Charter Boat Association is another. I personally am drafting up a letter with figures from the LOC newspaper on how much the fishery brings to NYS. I encourage you to do the same. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
