You got some "purdy" lakes out there stan. Is that a bull or Mac? (My eyes shot) Tom B. (LongLine)

Ive been using a $10 LED windup flashlight called the "illuminator." Works great. Tom B. (LongLine)

Boards are the last thing I setup. With the port side board out where I want it, I count out my line for the drop back, then I put that rod in a port side rod holder & make sure the boat is going straight. (I use Laurick release.) I then make a slight curve to port so the board drops back towards the wake just a little. IE going slower than the boat. I attach the line/release & the drag of the lure pulls the release right down to the board where I want it. Line from the rod is let out with no tension from the reel & not allowed to touch the water, with rod held high. I don’t use a mast. My board line is the standard stuff and is attached to my window frame. I only go out 40-45 ft though as I don't want any "combat" type problems. Tom B. (LongLine)

Stopped in after work. Bought a few of the SS. Mentioned that RELJERKS sent me & he gave me a freebie. Thanx Mark. Tom B. (LongLine)

Choo – On Photobucket, move your cursor over the picture & a pull-down should appear under the pic. Click on the box labeled IMG Code. (move quickly) This will highlight whatever the address is for that pic. Copy that address. (right click then "copy.") Go back to the topic reply on LOU & paste it in. When I have a couple pics, I copy the addresses into "Word," then copy the entire document into LOU. Like this… Tom B. (LongLine) Just playing...

Choo - Your welcome. That's what it's all about & glad I could help. Now if I'd only follow my own advice.... Tom B. (LongLine) p.s. pics?

Welcome to the "old f@rts" club. Can't say video was "COOL" as on the internet that now means "Constipated Overweight Outofstyle Louser" or "Call on other Line", depending on context. However I still nominate Mark for the first Oscar (fish) award of the 09 fishing season. Tom B. (LongLine)

WTG Dave. Nice Small mouth. You did better than a lot of guys on their first time out. Tom B. (LongLine)

Dave, I wish there was a really dependable weather predicition site. I generally look at a bunch of different sites then "the best out of three wins". I don't fish your area but if I did I would look at this site. http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/wfo/se ... neWeek.php Click on "more" then look at wind speed & direction. You can figure that SW winds will make that area pretty bumpy. I'd also suggest getting out real early as that's the time for the calmest water. Also you may want to do a search: "Henderson Harbor weather." I think abc has an hour by hour update. Good luck, Tom B. (LongLine)

Mark - WTG. I thought about heading out a little but CG convinced me not to, so I circled the other way, toward the dredge. Kind of bumpy out there huh? How late were you out? Tom B. (LongLine)

Thanx, 3 to 5 ft'rs tomorrow. Guess I'll sleep in then go look for a new camera. Good luck. Tom B. (LongLine)

Jim, Definitely slow ride when you're heading into white water coming from I-Bay direction. What did water temps look like out there? Tom B. (LongLine)

Launched early. Straight off the river. Heavy clouds. Strong ESE wind. Decent thermal change at 75-90FOW. (51F to 46F) Anyways, 1 Laker (13#) then 1 King (15#). Both 30 down over 90FOW. Both on Purple spooks. (NK) roughly 40 ft back. Laker clean, Salmon scarred. Sorry, no pics. Camera shot. Called it quits shortly after CG put up wind advisory. (9:30 or so) Wanted to get boat out & covered before rain hit. Poured right after I backed into diveway & got soaked anyway. Bright & sunny right now...figure There were a few boats out but guess they went deep fairly early. One guy at launch said he got 1 towards Bradocks. No details. County has an attendant on duty at launch now. No more freebies. $8.00 fee or $100 for the season. Luck to all, Tom B. (LongLine)

Happy Birthday Chad, Tom B. (LongLine)

Nice fish. It always a great feeling to catch something on gear you made. Tom B. (LongLine)

JayVee's on Norton street should be able to handle it. If you want to tackle (pun) it yourself, this guy does an excellent job of explaining repair of the 320, with photos. http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/ ... p?t=626165 Tom B. (LongLine)

...Genny going to get dredged. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/art ... bor+begins Tom B. (LongLine)

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong (probably am) but that looks like about 150 Yds east of summerville and only runs 2/3 the way to Russell, from the shore out to about 22 FOW. Maybe I need new reading glasses. Tom B. (LongLine) p.s. where they going to put 100k people?

Ditto what FX said. Nice to know there are some "adult" fish out there. Tom B. (LongLine) just playing stan.

Here's a 21 gun salute for the city & county: I'll never understand why the city & county want to use the port for everything other than fishing. Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome to the site. Please do some research on those clarkspoons. There are regulations about hooks on Lake Ontario. Hooks, attaced to lures, except on flies & jigs, have to be free-swinging. I'm not sure how or if it applies on the Finger Lakes though. Tom B. (LongLine)
