Yankee Troller

Cool, check them out. I have to believe any Wally world has to have them. I would go with the biggest Depp Cycle you can get. The ones I was talking about are 29's.

Bass and Walleye boats magazine did an write up about bateries towards the end of last year. They had the specs and prices on every battery available. After closley observing this I realized I was alreadys buying the biggest bang for my buck at Wally world. Everstart Maxx series 29. Cold cranking amps, longevity, and every other category this battery was in the top 5%. I have used them for years as my Trolling motor batteriues and never had a problem with them. I dont think you specified what you were using the batteries for thoguh? Are they going to be deep cycles or cranking? The ones mentioned above are deep cycles, although they do make a cranking battery too. The Everstarts are also priced resonablly.

Mick.....if your gonna drive to Golden Hill you mise wellmake a day of it and drive the extra 30 minutes to the bar. Sometimes during the spring there is a fine line of water where those kings stop. Last year anything East of the powerplant wasnt very good.

Bump.....Make offer

Bump.......Make offer!

Definately! I even got Billy V to switch over to the tandom hook set-up. Look at it this way.......Can it hurt?

I cant be tied down! Im following the Salmon migragtion from Canada to Oswego. With the price of gas going up I have to make my trips well worth it . Actually, I think it is fun to fish different ports throughout the year. You meat a lot of nice guys and learn new color patterns.

Im using a 5/0 Gammy Octopus as the top hook 2-3 beads and then a VMC treble on the bottom. <- the ones that come on NK's. I have a ton of them so it was convienient.

Fished from sun up to sun down again this Sunday and had an average day. We iced 7 pike ranging from 24" to 34". The guys next to us iced a 38" 13.8oz SLOB. All on shiners in 2-10' of water. Missed 7-8 because of the crunchy ice on top. All the drops were the shallow rigs around the crunchy ice.

Thanks guys!

I had 15 on three rigger rods and 25 on another 3 rigger rods. Since I ran Spinnies most of the season I used the 25lb test. I honestly cant say whether the 15 was better, but I dont remember it being a problem at all. I will remember to try this year though.

I ran the 25lb test last year and had very good success with it keeping the fleas off. This was during days where your wire dipsey would come back with a foot of them after being out for only 30 minutes. Jax is one of my witnesses to that. I think they have a new website that you can order off of. The least you can do is buy a mini bulk spool and try it on one or two rods. Good luck and if you have any questions give me a hollar!

I just need to match it up with the same pattern that is on there now. It is a raised diamond pattern.

Thanks guys!

Im looking to purchase this stuff, but everyone wants an arm and half a leg for it. Ranger wanted $84 for a 42x37 sheet of it. Do any of you guys have a better source for aquiring this stuff cheap?

I have never put that feature on. But more detail never hurt anyone unless it is a smaller GPS screen.

Yeah, I like the trail too. Sometimes when a fish hits no one hits a waypoint on the GPS. So by looking at the trail you can see where the fish it becasue you usually start to make funny turns with a fish on. I used it exclusivley last fall in Oswego. It was the only way to tell you were getting close to the peir. It was so foggy out you couldnt see 100yds in front of you.

SWEET!

Slide over Redneck!

I have run 25lb test on my mono dipsey and slide divers for years. Not a problem with that test and I dont use snubbers, especially with mono. It has enough stretch.

Mike, I would love to try thta stream fishing gig you guys do over there. If you ever have a weekend without trips let me know.

I havent seen that article as of yet, but I know who the kid is. He kicked everyones butt on the federation trail for the two years he competed in it. He is a very good bass fisherman, and i wish him good luck! Lets hope he puts NY on the map when it comes to bass fishing. He should do well when they swing up here for a tournament on Lake Erie and Champlain lake.

Set up in the dark and packed up at dark. Iced our first pike at sunset. Had 12 more flage the rest of the day and all the fish ran and dropped the bait. Very aggrivating! But, on the other hand, it was better than sitting at home. Goin back next week. I have a feeling the weather had them turned off pretty good. It blew hard all day. Thanks god for shanties!

Had one guy back out so there are reels and rods still left.

Gottcha!
