    Put 2 part epoxy in the back of the treble and never worry about it again.

    I know a guy with a commercial cutter and a variety of WTP tape.......
  6. GAMBLER
    Stick with WTP products and you will have better luck. A lot of the off brand tapes look great but do not stick good at all.

    Monroe County Monroe County Offshore Classic recap: Friday we left the dock to fish the species challenge with brown trout as our first target. We set down East of Sandy in 50’. We had a screen loaded with bait but not any marks. We continued in until we hit our first brown in 22’ on a two color core dragging a Froggy glow Stinger Stingray. We pulled the rods and headed to the area I fished Tuesday. We set down in 150’ on a North troll. Once we hit 180’ the rods started popping. We trolled out to 300 with constant action. We boxed a decent 18.6 lb king and upgraded our brown in 275 down 90. We switched gears and put everything higher and targeted steelhead. In a short time we boated a bunch of steelhead completing 3 out of 4 species for our box. With hours left, we trolled into laker waters and started farming. We caught tons of lakers but couldn’t find a good class of fish anywhere. We settled with a 13lb laker as our 4th species. Going to weigh in, I didn’t think we would have placed as high as we did. We ended up second behind first place by .4lbs.! Saturday: We left the creek planning on fishing the 180-275 water we fished Friday on a North South troll. With a sloppy chop from the East made this fun! We caught a bunch of kings but also lost a bunch. We got a tip from a buddy that the kings were stacked in 105-125. We slid in to those waters just as the wind went South at 30mph! With the side slip, we went down to 2 riggers and 2 divers. We crushed the kings a nice coho and a 9lb steelhead again but couldn’t find that kicker big king. At weigh in, we came in at 13th place just out of the money. We did end up getting big steelhead prize by default! I would like to thank Tim Skrip, Brandon White and Mike Dahl for putting on this event! I would also like to thank my crew on Friday and Saturday! Fishing with you guys is always a great time even when we don’t place in the money! Here’s what worked for us: Stinger Stingrays in Froggy Glow, NBK and Carbon 14 UV Atommik meat rigs in Shenster and UV Grinch Rigged Cutbait Deep Rig Tackle king strips in Lances 2 Face and Mongolian Beef

    I have had more foul hooked fish this season that ever. It’s not fun trying to get them to the net when they are hooked in the side!

    Friday we fished 180-275 off Sandy and it was a blood bath. 80-120 down with meat, and spoons. A north troll was beat by far. We did take steelhead in the same water 60’ and above.

    That’s great to hear about the wild kings. A DEC rep to come of websites like this and talk about current issues / trends in the fishery would be awesome no matter what the topics. Talking to the public about what is going on and what they are doing would put a lot of the theories to rest. They do a great job coming to the Charter Association and club meetings but social media would reach more people. This site would be a great place for this interaction.
  22. GAMBLER
    You would think the DEC would have a rep to come on these boards and talk shop with us. They do a good job coming to meetings but why not do more? Lake managers would more than likely be the ones to do the job or appoint someone that would. I wouldn’t think they would want someone to just come here and give us info without running the info through them first.

    From filleting tons of lakers, I can tell you they eat gobies but only when alewife aren’t present. Their diet consonant of more alewife than gobies. Now browns, I have found about a 50/50 mix of alewife and gobies.

    Page six from the link I posted earlier in this thread. Bait condition is up compared to 20 years ago. Not assuming, reading the data.

    The bait biomass has been getting bigger in the past five years. Steelhead size is down but Brown and lakers size is not. We still see 20+ lb browns like the old days and the lakers caught in the last 10 or so years are big. We can't use the LOC leaderboards to gauge trout sizes for the most part. IF king fishing is unreal like it has been, the numbers of guys targeting trout is way down. Less people targeting trout specifically = less big trout caught. Yes there are incidentals but not as many as if they are targeted. Same goes for steelhead. If guys aren't venturing past 150' of water all summer because the kings are loaded inside, there is less chance of running into bigger and more steelhead.
