GAMBLER

Who ended up winning?

Stinger NBK in the Stingray size.

Pike Hunter, I run them until they stop catching fish. The At-Tom-Mik flies are good for a long time. I have a couple that are a couple of years old and are really beat up but still produce. Always keep your hooks razor sharp. I will hit them with a file if they are not super sharp.

Kaz, Meet me on the North end of Conesus in late January and I will drop my under water camera in every hole in the North end of that lake and show you tons of bluegills, and some crappies.

It is the bottom picture on the link Muskbob showed you above.

Man flees police on Lake Ontario?????? Read this. What a bonehead. http://www.rnews.com/Story_2004.cfm?ID= ... ategory=10

I will repeat - Green Hammer or Green Crinkle. At-Tom-Mik (Tom) caught his 1st place LOC king on Green Crinkle. If the man him self runs it, it must be a good one.

I have to work this weekend and can't get out of it. Hopefully I can get August 16th off. Paul, Are the deadlines for the sign up the day before each tourney?

I would go with the Green Hammer or the Green Crinkle.

Tom, Mitchells on Lake Ave, West Marine on E. Ridge Rd. or order it from Cabelas.

I run the Diawa Heartland Medium Heavy 9 1/2' dipsey rods. They are around $40.00 each and work great.

Nice report Tom. At least you came in with your probe this time!

The Magda series reels have had drag problems in the past. A 45 will work but it is a little big.

Wire will not wear out the guides if you use a twillie tip.

Kaziemierz, Conesus is still a great fishery. VHS is present but the fishing is still great. This lake can be tough at certain times of the year (ask the bass fisherman about the period after the spawn about this lake). The panfish fishing on Conesus is poor for Perch but there are tons of gills. The gills run a little on the small side. Pike, walleye, and bass fishing can be the best around at times. Put in some time, and you will find the fish.

Capt, Here is what I run: Downrigger set ups -Diawa Sealine sg47lca's w/ 30 lb Ande pink on Diawa Heartland 8 1/2' rods. Dipsey set ups - Diawa Sealine SG47lca's w/1000' 30 lb. Malin SS wire on 9 1/2' Diawa Heartland dipsey rods with a twillie tip. Roller rods are nice but not worth the extra cash. You can get the Heartland dipsey rods at Gander Mountain for $39.99 and the rigger rods for $29.99. Good luck.

Boatino, Do you break down your wire rods after each trip? I find breaking them down causes a lot of waves in my wire. I just cut it back a couple of feet after a couple of trips.

Don't buy the Sport pilot. They are discontinued and no longer have parts to fix them. I installed a Simrad ap14 on Jax's boat and it is a great unit.

I think the bass population is down in the lake from 1) gobies eating bass fry 2) the big bass die offs 2 - 3 years ago (probally VHS but the DEC will never admit that).

Sorry guys, these have been sold.

Took my 7 year old nephew, my dad, and the neighbor out for a trip on Tuesday. Fished from the creek to the nose for less than 2 hours because my nephew blew chunks all over the gunnel of the boat. Boated 3 kings, and 2 steelies in 110 - 130. The fish came down 70 -90 on riggers, wires and coppers. The LOC fish was a 11 lb. 10 oz. steelie that took a Live Wire Spin Doctor and the At-Tom-Mik Green Hammer out 210' on a wire. Had to run the fish to Oak Orchard to weigh in the fish because the guy at East Fork decided to open at noon instead of 9am.

I have 2 dipsy set ups for sale. The reels are Diawa Great Lakes 47lcs on 10 1/2' Ugly stick medium heavy diver rods with a twillie tip. They are coming ready to fish spooled with 30 lb Malin SS wire. The rod and reels are in great condition. I do not want to ship these rods. You can pick them up or meet me somewhere around Rochester. They are $75.00 each.

Congrats alloutdoorsman! What was the biggest king weighed in? Was it the 29 lb. 7 oz. king that is the leader for the salmon division in the LOC?

Who won the 1st annual At-Tom-Mik / Fat Nancy's shootout?

How do you guys tell your what rod is your 400', 500', and 600' coppers? I have all of my coppers on the same exact kind of rods. I can tell the 100', 200' and 300' apart because they are all different sized reels. I'm going to pick up 2 more and want to see what ideas guys have for telling which one is which.
