In Paul's s defense this guy is wreckless! A week ago we had a NE blow. Most guys cancelled their charters. I was out fishing the inside (100-140') in 3-5' waves. We got our dozen and decided to clean fish in the Creek because it was snotty out there, and getting worse. While I'm cleaning fish this guy passes me and brags about fishing the 31N line that morning. Mind you.... He was in an open bow Tracker fishing boat by himself. A week later this happens.....

Both are great options. PM me if you have any questions or need a quote on a unit.

I can get you a 7" Humminbird HELIX at Krenzer Marine. MSRP on that unit is $449. If you don't live near here I can drop ship it to you. If you do live near we can install it if you don't feel as if you can.

Where are all the 20lb Steelhead we used to see
Yankee Troller replied to Trouthunter's topic in Open Lake Discussion
You're wrong.....the state doesn't need these people and their lack of ethics. As King Davy explained there are a lot of people with money that would take their place if they were gone. I have fished a trib once each year for the last 3 seasons. Prior to that I fished them every Saturday/Sunday between Oct 1 and ice fishing season. I just can't stand to see the shyt that goes on in our tribs anymore. I personally don't care about the businesses who promote this either. Selling shark rods and 1/0 hooks in Pulaski is just adding to it. -
What size weights are you guys running
Yankee Troller replied to fishinfreak's topic in Open Lake Discussion
15lb Torpedo or Shark weights are what we use 85% of the time. We will sometimes run 20lb sharks. -

Yankee Troller replied to Trouthunter's topic in Open Lake Discussion
This stream/lake thing needs to stop. We have one hell of a fishery on both sides. If we could team up together and combat this "salmon season" that happens September/October in the tribs with more law enforcement and indictments we'd all win. I know there are a lot of small businesses, especially up East, that thrive on these two months of business. However, the truth is they are just grabbing money and allowing/encouraging unethical behaviors. -

Spot on! -
The sheriff COULD HAVE put his boat on plane and left a very small wake, but instead he "half planed" it the whole way out the channel causing a much bigger wake. I watched this and just shook my head.

Krenzer Marine on Sodus Point can accommodate you.

Yankee Troller replied to Trouthunter's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I think (and this is merely my opinion) we are still recovering from the Vitamin B deficiency die off we saw a few years back. A lot of big fish died that fall/winter. However, if you want a shot at one go fish off the North Shore. A majority of our Steelbow hang out over there in the Summer. -
It's not cheap and I think that company requires a dealer to install. My buddies are happy with the product.
-
I know Krenzer marine installs PlasDek. That brand a few of my buddies have used.

They're a great diver. We run the #2 a lot in the Spring for BT.

Is it too late to book a July charter?
Yankee Troller replied to genEus's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I appreciate the plug. Sounds as if he wants Sodus, but genEus if you change your mind and want to come West I have some weekdays available. -

A shout out to the Yankee Troller!
Yankee Troller replied to Rookie Fisherman's topic in Open Lake Discussion
No Problem! Happy to help. I run shorter leaders than what you described. Usually, 5-6' leaders. I clear the counter with the diver a foot from the tip of the rod. Then run them 10' out in 10' of water. Or 5' out in 5' of water. I match the line out to depth of water I'm in. They get a 2:1 dive curve out that short. -

Where to buy gear
Yankee Troller replied to Wrist_therapy74's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
FishUSA is almost a local place, but they run sales EVERY day! It's addicting going to their website every morning to see what is going to be on special. -
I think a lot of people mistaken Gizzard Shad for Alewife. If you're catching these Browns around bays, ponds, or rivers they are probably Gizzard Shad this time of year. I had a Brown Trout puke up a Smelt this weekend and a Goby. You can go to the Tweets page to see the pic. Most of their diet right now is Gizzard Shad and Goby though from what I've been seeing.

I run 9" form the knot to the front hole, and 11" from the knot to the back hole. If you're pulling big coppers these two tricks can help. Drill a hole 3/4" -1" under the original holes where the rope goes into the board. Add another keel with a half weight.
