  1. Intake temp is tumbling after yesterday's NE wind. Here they come!
  2. Big pike in Conesus are there you just have to put a ton of time in to get them. Like stated above, there are very few over 40". I have personally caught two over 40" out of Conesus. One was through the ice in 2005 and the other was open water trolling in 2016.
  3. I own a Penn Yan 245 Contender and love it. I bought the boat 4 years ago. Like others have stated, have a survey done. All three brands you mentioned have stringer and transom rot issues. If you look long enough, you can find one that has had stringers and transom rebuilds done. Mine was rebuilt in 2008. IF the rebuild was done by a reputable company, you shouldn't have an issue moving forward.
  4. Records? Without it, we will never see a record king out of Lake Ontario again. Bring on the steroid Era!
  5. A lot of Stagers were caught off the Oak and Sandy this weekend in 50-70' laying on the bottom.
  6. If we want some big kings in the mix, why not throw some Triploid kings in the mix. Big sterile kings that do not spawn and will get BIG. They can continue their methods and appease the guys that want some giant kings every once and a while. What would it hurt? It wouldn't screw with the Lake O genetics they already have. IN the past, they didn't want to add fresh genetics to disrupt the kings that have adapted to Lake O. Sounds like a win win to me!
  7. Funny you bring up pen rearing. The Pen project with the best growth rate year in and year out got pulled a bunch of years ago......
  8. You don't pick a 5'6" 140 lb kid as a lineman or basketball player. You pick the 240 6'10" 240lb guy for your basketball team or the 6' 0" 300lb guy for your line. If you pick the 5'6" 140lb kid, you will not be successful.
  9. Next year, I will be bringing my boat up a couple times!
  10. Fished the Catt with pequod1 and my nephew yesterday. We did a North troll and found 75-80 to be the most productive water. 60-65' down was the best depth with riggers. Spoons and harnesses were the ticket. We limited by 12:30 and lost 10 fish. Jim blamed the lost fish on Jeremy and I being trout and salmon guys! . The highlight of the day was a 29.75" beast that Jim reeled in on a diver.
  11. Brandon White was selling one. Let me check with him
  12. IF your boat is more than 25', you can still win this. You will just have to pay the difference.
  13. I was on the fence until they added everyone will need a bow class. Will crossbow hunting all of bow change much? I don't really think so.
  14. I am raffling off a $1000.00 gift card for East Fork Pro Marine in Hamlin NY for free winterization, shrink wrap and storage for a boat up to 25’. Check out the link below for details! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ACnXmra9m/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  15. Driver? Buy that lady an autopilot!
  16. Reese redid my camper beds for me this spring. Great work and great lady to deal with!
  17. Gator Glow.
  18. Congrats Zach! Sitting in some pretty good company right there!
  19. I would like to thank everyone that came out last night! Stay tuned, East Fork Pro Marine came up big and gave me a $1000 gift card to raffle off for winterization, wrap and storage for a boat up to 25' to raffle off!

  21. How much for the bottom two spools?
  22. What colors do you have in 4" rolls?
  23. I'm not saying the same thing Keith. Some years are different and the kings are not on schedule due to weather. Just because everyone goes to the bar or the salmon river, it doesn't mean they are on the mother load of kings. Leave Sandy every trip and look around. If you see a congregation of boats, does that mean that is where all the fish are? Most of the time, No. How many springs has the Rochester basin been on fire for kings yet everyone flocks to the Niagara? Heavy ice years on Erie, the Rochester basin warms faster and the king fishing heats up quick. Everyone flocks to the Niagara because that is usually the place to be in the Spring yet the Rochester fleet has great fishing and not many boats around.
  24. The majority of fished weighed in is directly related to the number of boats fishing a certain port. Not necessarily the higher concentration of fish.
