Just watch the Genny. You'll be on the second part of the ramp & it's steep. Be careful not to go off the end. Tom B. (LongLine)

On rigg'r spoons, if you're using a heavy mono then yes use a lighter fluro leader. Heavy lines have the tendency to slow the action. Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome to the site Sea-Note. You've got some great fishing water there. Tom B. (LongLine)

FX - He's worked on mine too & does great work. Tom B. (LongLine)

In March 2008, the NYSDEC began adipose fin clipping all Chinook salmon (Kings) stocked in Lake Ontario. These 2 yr old fish will probably now be up to 12-13 Lbs and 31-32†long this year. If you catch & report Kings up to this size, please mention whether they’re clipped or not. The adipose is the fin on top of the fish, just in front of the tail. Thanx, Tom B. (LongLine)

I just voted. He's only down 7. Good Luck Tom B. (LongLine)

LongLine Beautiful day to see if the boat’s working. Man it’s been a long winter. Launched at the River. Almost didn’t, as battery needed a little help. Man that water level is low! Finally got her going & headed out: Headed over to Russell & the Ponds. The River looked like fall combat fishing around 8:00 with maybe 12 boats hugging the mouth. Clear sky. Very slight SE Wind. Quite a few birds in the 15-30 FOW range. Lot of the diving ones. (only saw 2 seagulls the whole morning) Here’s the first one of the season. Ended up 4 for 4. All Browns. Nothing huge; all kind of chunky. here’s the biggest: All on rigg’rs; all within 3 ft of the bottom; all with DW SS on long leads. (nbk & I don’t know what the other is called – was green) Ventured out to 50 FOW. Saw a couple sitting on the bottom, but not much, so came back in. A pretty good start to the season. Luck to all Tom B. (LongLine)

WTG Jax. (Maybe this weekend...) Good luck at the Scotty. Tom B. (LongLine)

Finally, an editorial in support of Restoration: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/art ... a-priority Don't know much about "earth day" but I see this as a good argument against windmills. The laws, monies, policies, etc have all been directed towards "new" run-off water & new sediments. Nothing has ever been done about the polluted sediments that are burried by just a couple inches of "cleaner" sediments. The Lake Guardian has been taking water column samples for a long time. They gave up on core samples back in 2002/03 because the degree of pollution there hadn't changed since 1987. (when the Embayment was declared an "Area of Concern." Even back then, they only went down a couple feet. Turbine foundation & transmission line construction will definitely dig into the polluted stuff. Tom B. (LongLine)

Wewlcome to the site CF. We'll help where we can. Tom B. (LongLine)

Way to go Joe Tom B. (LongLine)

My first release was a large paper clip partially straightened with an alligator clip soldered to it. Put some rubber hose over the teeth of the alligator clip. (windshield washer hose was the right size, I think) Tom B. (LongLine)

You changing tactics? Last year it was speed, speed & speed. Tom B. (LongLine)

to craa. From what i've been hearing, they've been doing a lot of good work for the Big-O fishery. I know if one gets past Ray out west & I catch it, I'll definitely report it. What other basic info do you want? Tom B. (LongLine)

They pro-rated mine on-line. Small trailer, but they knocked it down from $21.50 to $18. I submitted on a Friday after work & had it in the mail on Wed. (Guess they didn't have anything to do that day?) Tom B. (LongLine)

So the D&C runs an editorial this morning about "Wait & See": http://www.democratandchronicle.com/art ... ontroversy My responses: and Tom B. (LongLine)

On some old charts, a military drop zone/practice area is shown out there. Tom B. (Longine)

Bob - At least you won't have to worry about it not being moist enough. Tom B. (LongLine) BTW, welcome to the site.
