I had the same problem on my old Sportcraft. A call to Scotty revealed they are not designed for dipsey diver rod holders as there is too much torque on the teeth of the holder. I would suggest Big Jon's Heavy duty rod holders or Bert's wratchet-type. Lou

I am interested in changing my wire line dipsey rods over to roller rods. Anyone have a recommendation as to brand, length, action, etc. I want to avoid buying the wrong rod! Thanks for any help you can offer. Lou

I have had the paint come off quite a few Stinger spoons. I took the hooks off them and sent them back to Advance Tackle in Michigan. Within a few weeks they were replaced at no charge. Try this and I think you will be happier. Lou

Sundays sound like a good day. Sorry, but Tuesday is not possible. Email me your phone # and the best time to reach you to me at [email protected] Lou

So far, between the PM's I have received and the posted replies, I have not gotton any consistent people. Reply to this post if you are SERIOUS about going fishing with me on Lake Ontario on a REGULAR basis. I am still looking!

Paul H. aka Dances the Tides weighed in a 12# 6 oz Steelie today. Beautiful fish caught off Nine Mile Point. This formitable opponent took an NK spoon fished off a side planer board... 200' back over 170 fow. Congrats to a dedicated Lake Ontario Fisherman! Dr. Lou

Still looking for 1-2 people that want to enjoy all Lake Ontario has to offer! Lou

I need a transducer for a Fish Hawk 840. New or used, working condition. Email me at [email protected] Lou

I would prefer a one day course...maybe 6 - 8 hours or so. If Breakfast and Lunch were included I would be willing to pay $75-95 all inclusive. Hope this helps. Lou

Try searching on ebay. I have seen them for sale periodically. As a matter of fact, I thought I saw a pair up for auction this week. Lou

Hi! I am looking for one or more folks that want to join me on a fairly regular basis to fish the east end of Lake Ontario for Salmon & Trout. I own a 26' Penn Yan equipped to fish the big lake. I fish out of the Little Salmon River near Mexico, NY. I will provide the boat and all the tackle and lures necessary to make a days outing as close to successful as possible. You need to provide whatever you need to eat and drink, proper clothing and gas for the boat. I usually fish every Wednesday and Sunday...weather permitting. You can send me a PM or email me at [email protected] Lou

No wonder these eels are rampant! Except for Musky Bob all I see posted here is negative...for shame! Help the grad student out and give him some feedback. Maybe then something constructive will be accomplished.

I much prefer the acronym: P: People E: Eating T: Tasty A: Animals

So what's your point Ray? In my opinion, bad results don't equal bad management. Input from all of us fisherman can do nothing but help the problem get better for all. Lou

I found this survey on The Steelhead Site and thought it should be posted here so all of us Lake Ontario fishermen can have a chance to help out this grad student doing the survey. Maybe it will help our fishery if we voice our opinion. It only takes a few minutes to fill out and it MIGHT make a difference!

Iceman, Last summer I sent a fist full of Michigan Stinger spoons back to the manufacturer Advance Tackle. The paint was worn, chewed and peeled off of these spoons and they replaced every one of them at no charge. Try that move and see how you feel about Michigan Stinger spoons!
