Well Andy,.....how did you do?

I finally got my boat out of the barn. Will be splashing him up there Sunday. I'll be working on my technique in anticipation of the new 3 rod rule.

are they the diawa reels? and what is the sg stand for? thanks.

Yeah, Arima's are really nice boats, but I think a tin can is more along the lines of what he was looking for especially if he plans on doing any winter steelhead drifting on the Lower Niagara. Glass and icebergs don't go well together

....like I said , "there is always a trade-off".

Half the fun in fishing is the wishful thinking.

There is always a trade-off with boats but here is one that may be a good place to start.

.........Seems like the state would protect a fish when it is spwaning and most vulnerable. If Bass ran up stream to spawn would we be able to kill them in May? It be nice to see a no fishing / spawning area on the creeks, It wont happen. But I bet a catch and release area could happen, and I hope it will some day. Sean

I agree.....

Killing one spawning bow in the tribs will take out more fish than the 3 rods per person on my boat will take all season.

Thats funny! If you don't put any clothes on her, I bet they wouldn't even notice you had two extra lines!

I have a few rentals available if anyone is interested.......

[edit] Funny... but just a bit too much for this family friendly site

OK,...sorry, I guess I pushed the limits again. I'll try and keep a better eye on myself.

Picked this one up over 70' bottom down 65' near the Levana shelf- Oct `09. Not sure which is bigger the fish or the dodger

This may help you with cable size> http://www.alternatorparts.com/wire_size_chart.htm

and then look for something like this > http://www.amazon.com/2-gauge-20-Jumper ... B002TLWXWQ

Heavy duty jumper cables are a easy way to run heavy wire in a nice neat bundle. Just cut off the clips and use proper connectors on each end.

Glen wanted me to thank all you guys for the trust worthy weather reports. Based on the reports and recommendations for RR he decided to stay home and fish.

He'll post a report on todays activities as soon as he filets his catch.

One of the guys posted this site not to long ago and it is as good as any.

Hey Mike ,

Are'nt those O&M spoons in yer pic......your flea market finds?

Vic

Yes, ...they are the same blank. They are also kicking around the finger lakes under a couple of names the last 20 years.

Carl Johnson, aka "old swede" had the jig for that spoon back in the `80's. By the time I met him in the early `90's he had closed up shop and sold all his stuff. He did keep 100's of blanks though and that's how I got onto them.

Good stuff, ......just like needle fish .. .... 2 7/8" spoons seem to be a good all around spoon in the fingers especially if they can run good at 2.0 to 3.0.

BTW,....do you know what the secret pattern is?

Thanks Vic.

I guess we all have a few of those blanks in our box. I just didn't know them as T-Spoons. A lot of the ones I picked up over the years were at the flea market type sportsmen shows.

The most fish catching spoons I ever had were the ones called and made by " Old Swede". He sold his jigs when he closed up shop but the spoons kept showing. They are still kicking around under other names. Vary speed tolerant. That's probably why they worked so well.

Pic of a couple I doctored up. .. blank look familiar?

Sorry Sean, didn't mean to hijack your thread......you can share your pattern with us tho'

Can anyone post a picture of a T-Spoon? Not sure what blank you are talking about.

Thanks.

Boat will be out in 5 weeks.

Could a couple sheets of plywood between the boat & shed protect the boat until the shed can be removed? You'll probably want to do something like that anyway sooner or later during the removal process.

Sorry for your delemma.

Here is one option...

Sorry Hasbeen.

Argue with someone else please.

Glen

.....sorry, I hate it when my finger hits that upload key behind my back.........

I'll have a talk with it before the mod's spank me again

You know guys,.........arguing with *** **** is like wrestling with a pig in the mud,.....sooner or later you’ll understand that he likes it.

EDIT: cmon stinger, no personal attacks please

Sorry,.....didn't realize I was a bad boy.

I'll save the fun stuff for a thread that isn't so thin skinned.

How you doing Sting?

I think Tom might be putting up this info for the benefit of new people to the site or guys that are just starting out.

This way they are not swayed by misinformation and one warped opinion

Roger that spooner

Tro.........I have a `02 Sea Ranger 19HT and went through all that hassle of trial & error with new linkage for the main engine, kickers/mounts of various types. We should probably do most of this over the phone seen as there is a lot to talk about because of the unique transom design of the Arima.

PM me your phone # and we’ll talk over the weekend.

This is my present setup with a Troll Master throttle control and this power bracket...> http://www.jrmarineproducts.com/

.........be prepared to spend some money.
