  1. Welcome to the site. Blk/Silver or Fluroscent orange Jointed or sinking Rapalas or try some Bomber Long-A's. Tom B. (LongLine)
  2. WTG Matt Saw the launch was all buggered up with big logs yesterday so didn't even attempt it today. Tom B. (LongLine)
  3. Look at it this way: The season is going to only get better. At least you got out. Saw Genny launch blocked real bad yesterday with driftwood (big stuff) so ended up walking the dogs today & catching up on projects. Tom B. (LongLine)
  4. I'm not going to try to talk you out of outriggers but I probably only see 3 or 4 boats a year with them on Lake Ontario. Just about everyone on Big-O runs planner boards of some kind now days. Tom B. (LongLine)
  5. See the difference in surface texture ( waves vs calm) in this picture? It's a big time late april temperature change. Colder water is a little denser than warmer water thus wind effect is slightly different. This partricular one was about 4 degrees and I was playing around the outside of it. When you find it, you want to go through it and beyond for a couple hundred yards. It generally does not go straight to the bottom. Tom B. (LongLine)
  6. +1 with Chris. "Weather" the water expands or not, I'd worry about it & I'd much rather miss a couple weekends of fishing than have to sit out a couple months & the expense of a major overhaul. Tom B. (LongLine)

  10. I believe JayVee's on Norton St. still repairs reels. (Note they moved a couple/few years ago east down past Portland. If you're interested in doing it yourself check out alantani.com. He has great tutorials with all kinds of pictures for many many reels. Tom B. (LongLine)
  11. IMO, the secret is drag. Light line - you have to let them run & tire themselves out. Tom B. (LongLine)
  12. None of the Salmon or Trout in the bays this time of year care about structure. All they care about is food & their survival. i.e. You'll run into them almost anywhere. Tom B. (LongLine)
  13. Just south of the channel markers it drops off real quick. Amazing what fish hold up there. East side of bay just north of bridge is very steep. Watch out for that "finger that juts out about 1/4 mi south of the markers. Tom B. (LongLine)
  14. RS - definitely buy a bulk spool if you can spring for it. Tom B. (LongLine)
  15. How about one of those herring gizmos with the dill pickle & onion? Tom B. (LongLine)
  16. Don't know how busy he is right now but Hank is the go-to guy. Tom B. (LongLine)
  17. Telll us something about: yourself, kids, interests, job, etc. Tom B. (LongLine)
  18. Glad they're ok. Many thanx to the Coast Guard & Lweiston F.D. Tom B. (LongLine)
  19. Hostess chocolate cupcakes. Looks like I have to find a new one this year. Tom B. (LongLine)
  20. So cute. Must have been a shock. Tom B. (LongLine)
  21. I'd get someone to hold the rod while i wind off about 25 ft and let the line run between my finger & thumb. If you get any whitish color residue then throw that line out. It's the plastizier comming out. Other wise go ahead & use it. Not so much cold temps, but hot temps can destroy the line. Mono will dry out. One trick some guys use is to wind that line onto a 3rd reel and use the 3rd reel. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Tom B. (LongLine)
  22. yep, yep, yep.... Tom B. (LongLine)
