GAMBLER

I'm in for this Saturday. I would be nice to see some results from these tournies when they are over.

There are some big goldfish in Conesus. I have seen them in the summer and under the ice on the camera. The rudd look red in the water.

Tom, How big was that laker? It is a shame to see any fish going to waste like that.

I put 6' of 50 lb. floro between my copper and backing on all my set ups. It holds to the floro awesome. Do not put the line in the release too far.

Spoonfed, I'm running the Scotty downrigger releases for my 300' - 500' coppers. I cut the lead short to about 2" and add a shower curtain hook. They hold great. I also run the smaller Scotty plainner board releases on my 100' and 200' coppers. You can just use 2 rubberbands if you do not want to spend the money. Half hitch them around the line and then put them, in a shower curtain style hook.

Sorry Tom let me rephrase that. Momay4000, the last one he had was not hooked to a rigger! Is that better Tom!

Momay4000, His last one did not have cable hooked to it either!!! :shock:

They also have a one day pass for $10.00.

Are you going to share the video or what?

Fished from 50' out to 300' and it was really slow. Good temp was down 55'. Ended up with 3 steelies and one brown by 08:30. After that it really slowed and the screen dried up. Dumped 5 fish after 08:30. One was a nice steelie and another a nice king. Slide in for browns at the end and nothing. The bait was there but the browns were not. Took fish from 40 - 80 down. 225 - 250 was the best area.

Correct. Grand prize is $4000.00 4 divisions - Salmon, Browns, Lakers,and Steelhead. It pays out $500.00 for 1st, $300.00 for 2nd, $200.00 for 3rd, 100.00 for 4th and $50.00 for 5th.

Nope. 3-11 M-F this week. I have the next 2 weekends off and the following Saturday. I will see you bright and early Saturday am.

Scott, I will see you out there Saturday. What time are you getting to the boat?

Good luck in the GOSD Skeiner. Have fun on your days off. Hopefully the weather cooperates for you.

Gill-T, Here is a link to more info http://www.orleanscountytourism.com/fis ... .htm#derby. You can also go to Narby's or Captains Cove in Point Breeze or East Fork marina in Hamlin.

Skeiner, Do you ever work? It seems like you fish every day.

Run 2 dispies off of one side. Run one on a 1 and the other on a 3. You could also invest in a copper set up.

Everytime I get an order, my wife complains. Her favorite line is "Here is the package for this week". I just reply isn't that a new outfit you are wearing. That ends the conversation real quick.

I'm up for that Jerry. I know Jay would also.

Who is fishing the Orleans County Derby? I went and signed up today at East Fork Marina.

Gotta Bite, I know some guys do it with slide divers. Me, I like the chute clear because my boat does not have a 10' beam.

Tbarb, I run mine on a 1 and a 3. I usually put them out 50' of distance from each other or the same. I put the shallow rod flat and the inside rod up on an angle. I usually let the shallow rod out first then the deep rod. Come August, this set up is killer.

Nice pic Skeiner. That hammer fly looks like it has seen the inside of a couple kings mouths.

How was it Mark? I know some of the river charter captains have been doing ok out there.

I think with all the wind it has the lake really screwed up. The thermalcline is changing depth drastically every day. A lot of the big kings are probally out in the blue zone in the more stable water. When I had my boat in Irondequoit, we would be fishing out in 500 fow around this time and doing really good on Kings and Steelhead.
