GAMBLER

Fished if the peir yesterday for perch and killed the gobies. Caught around 100 - 150 and 5 nice perch. The seagulls ate well yesterday.

I have had my Foodsaver for 6 years now and love it. I package lots of fishand deer with it. My wife buys bulk chicken brests and steaks and we foodsave and freeze them to save $. I have not had any problems with my foodsaver.

Bruce, Thanks for the report. Did not think we would see another report from you after the last time. Keep them coming.

Ray, Fishinman told me you hit that one with your vehicle on the way back from Oak Orchard! :shock: Nice buck Ray.

Freeman77, The email I got that picture in said E-bay!!! You can buy anything on Ebay. Good for getting meat but can really screw up a nice rack.

Tom, Talk all you want, the Raiders still stink. P.S. I'm not a Bills fan.

A mark of a good team is when they can win ugly against GOOD teams not losers. Bills will make the play offs but not the big game. Mark my words.

The Bills were lucky to walk away with a win. They looked horrible the entire game. Luckily they were playing the Raiders

BillyV, Put a second coat on all your teak and it will look even better. The stain will also last a year or two longer. I put the first coat on, sand it really lightly and then apply the second coat.

Yes. Run the copper and dipsies shorter so it runs shallower. I have 5 copper setups 100', 200', 300', 400', and 500'. I switch them in and out depending on the depth of the fish at certain times of the year.

Yes. I have caught some of my biggest browns off of dipsies.

Time out, Try one of these. It gets them every time.

Try NK 28 sized and 4d sized spoons, Michigan Stinger spoons in the stingray size and the original size. Browns will hit copper. Copper is super stealthy and works great. Here are the links to the websites of the spoon manufacturers named above. http://www.northernkinglures.com/ http://www.mistinger.com/

beach, Here is a link to a site that is selling some j-plugs. http://www.google.com/products?sourceid ... 1&ct=title Run them off of plainner boards, riggers, copper, dipsies or flat lined out the back of the boat. Troll them from 2.2 - 3.2 mph. They will dive some so don't put them too deep. This time of the year, j-plugs can out produce anything else in the water.

Stan, copper is an effective set up. I don't know how deep you are fishing browns but a copper setup with Stinger spoons will get browns. Copper will get you down 22' for every 100' of copper in the water. Some of my favorite brown spoons are froggy glow, NBK, tuxedo, green dolphin and the dirty whiteboy.

Timeout, Nice buck. Hopefully you can hang that one on the wall once the season starts.

I caught a couple the other day at the pier on the Genny. One was 20 1/8". The guy next to me caught one on a cleo casting for kings. Mine were all caught on minnows.

Ramps are gone. $10.00 takes the pigeon thrower!!!

The gobies are a good food source for lots of species. Most of the perch I caught the past week were loaded with small gobies. The 14" perch I caught had 3 in it's stomach.

What Rick no custom Seasick Waddler Fly from A-tom-mik? Get him on working on it.

Ecarter, The Stinger Stingray NBK was my top producing spoon this season. The Stinger spoons paint jobs don't last but they do catch fish. Other brands like NK's work just as good and last a lot longer.

Some brands, the difference is stiffness of the leader material / line. The leader material is stiffer and the line is less stiff so it does not have as much memory so it works on a spinning reel.

My vote is for an Atlantic. I was up to the Salmon River 2 years ago and caught a bunch of small Atlantics. We also caught small browns. If the pictured showed the tail, it would be a lot easier to tell.

I have run Cannons for years and love them. I have 2 mag 15s and 2 mag 20s on my boat. If I had to buy new ones, I would stick with Cannons. They have been very reliable for me over the years.
