  1. John don't know how much the Shimano poles are but I have been using Eagle claws for 20yrs and they work great and you can't beat the price Captain Bob Sogin of Reel Excitement at the Oak told us at a seminar that he uses the E. Claws too :shock: Just y 2 cents :!:
  2. Becks, Malin 7 strain 30 or 40 lb test is what most people you will find use. get at least 1,000' spool.
  3. From the Oak site "Tranny Spoon...emerald green crystallina Pirate 55 (favorite of Capt. Chas)...color no longer available"
  4. Andre, a lot of the spoons you see mentioned on this and other sites are regular Nk's or other manufactures that are "doctored up" with tapes. You can find some of them for sale at tackle shops like Shawn's marina for the Habenaro's or I think it's Narby's in Oak Orchard for the 42nd spoon but most are taped up. Go to the tackle descriptions on this site and the www.Attheoak.com and there is a lot of pictures on there of the taped up spoons and their names.
  5. I know he loves to fish with you guys and he learns a lot from you, so I'm sure he doesn't mind the razzing he gets from you during the Pro Am
  6. Damn it YT answer my question was the "service" as good as the first time :?: Did he spill any drinks in the rough waters? Sounds like maybe it slipped a little and that could be the reason for your 3rd place finish instead of 1st . It's nice of you to blame it on the waves
  7. I AM PUMPED :!: Can't wait to meet Curtainbob opps I mean Muskeybob and I have been looking forward to meeting Fishstix for a few years now (wish Skeiner was here too ) Hope to see Billy V and Yankee throw down over the Habenaro vs Malloto Team L.O.U.S.E.R.S will have the best eats on board our boat that I can tell you. Man I can taste those grilled marinated tenderloin sandwiches with on my famous crusty ciabatta bread and herb mayonnaise now MMMMMMMM GOOD Good luck to you all, but we'll need it :roll:
  8. Skipper, you are GONNA NEED MORE THAN 300 FT! They will spool you by the time you get the rod out of the holder and with no stretch it's gonna be gonezo for all the tackle. Get yourself 7strand wire in at least 1,000 feet because there is gonna be times when it backlashes or kinks and you will lose wire (I speak from recent experiance :shock: :x :roll: ) Use the search on this site under tackle and techniques and you will find all you need to know or better yet try to get out with someone else to learn how (Ray K is always looking for someone to go out with him and just bring some bananas with you )
  9. Billy never mind the Habanero, I want to know what Rick thought of Jax AKA "The Waiter" service was in comparison to the Olcott derby CONGRATS BIG TIME TO ALL OF YOU ABOARD THE YANKEE TROLLER :!: :!:
  10. Just talked to Jax who is on Yankee's boat. They are in 5th place with 235pts. The leader has 305 and the first 4 places are within 7pts of each other. Team YT did not fill there box. Waves were really bad 4-6 fotters in the AM and there observer was a puking machine right off the bat :x That's all the info I have for now.
  11. PKhunter the white stuff on your line is the fleas? Don't know what size line you are running but move to at least 30# or get some flea flicker line. I fished at Sandy today and literally no fleas :shock: Try to check your lines every 20-30 minutes and if you see some on your line try to "whip" your line in and out of the water to get them off as you reel in your lines. Good job on the fish
  12. Scott I heard you on the radio. My wife and I ended up 6 for 7 with 4 kings all 17-22#, 1 brownie and a #@%&*# trout (Lost what I believe was another good size laker that just stayed stright down, oh wait I did feel him shake his head once :shock: :!: :x ) Fished from Sandy to about 3 miles east doing fish in both directions. Purple and silver R&R took 2 fish and green E-chip with a aqua fly on the wire back 130 - 175 took 3 fish, R&R lemon ice took the brown. Same as Scott as far as depth of water and rigger depths. I had the wire fire before I could get a second pole in the water and that was it for that for about 2 hours then it was back to back. The riggers seem to need longer leads 50' seemed to be the ticket there. No fleas except foe on the wire at the dipsey :shock: Out hopefully again this week maybe at night. Fishbandit heard you on the radio taken some brownies on every pass How'd you end up doin?
  13. Thanks Brian for leaving those AWESOME FIGHTING LAKERS FOR ME :shock: :roll: . I am going out Saturday (week off with the wife has me all confused as to what day it is ) I'll post afterwards.
  14. I hate those "Dennis Conner" wanna be guys as much as the next guy if not more, but it's not always just the sail boats :shock: :!: When I was out a couple of weeks ago I had a regular old pleasure boat come cruisin by me within 75yds of us while we were fighting a king. I screamed, yelled and waved all sorts of things at this jerk and he just went right on by never turning one inch. He wasn't going top speed but was cruisin at like 25mph. These guys just don't care or understand :shock: :x
  15. Brian only 1 laker :shock: :? . Nice job :!: I am gonna get out tomorrow at Sandy I hope.
  16. I had the paint come right off a NKDL after just a few fish. I think the R&R paints seem hold up well.
  17. I GOT A DECIMAL POINT, I GOT A DECIMAL POINT, I GOT A DECIMAL POINT Jason it ended up being a ground issue. Discovered it by mistake when I put the unit on the metal on the back of my glove compartment it touched the metal plug for the probe cable and it appeared :shock: . Called Duane at Moor and he said to check the ground wire and I found a bad connection where the wire runs along the inside of the boat wall. So it's up and running. JD if I hadn't sunk $$$ into the sub troll over the past couple of years I would have gone for a new unit. Ray shaaaaaad app with your perminent marker idea :roll: . I never go 7 mph
  18. I have a problem with my sub troll as I don't have a decimal point showing up despite having power (checked with a test light) all the way to within 1 inch from where the wire disapears into the back of the unit :? Any help would be great. Moor tested it when I had it up there too :shock: :? :?
  19. Here's a the pictures of my son in-laws first king and my bosses sons first brown trout/anyfish on a boat in Lake Ontario, also the bass he caught on the dock at Sandy while we were launching. [/img] This ones going on his wall [/img]
  20. Emptynet do you live in Rochester?
  21. Mark, being busy at work is a good thing. Didn't realize you stayed up at Wilson the whole month. Hope to catch up with you guys to say hey down at the Pro Am in Sodus. I'm fishing my first Pro Am with Muskybob and Ray which I am sure will be a fun time no matter how we do.
  22. I agree with the whole name thing what difference does it make to them and really how much more work is it really? As far as Al aka Fishshack I think if you catch a fish no matter what catagory then you should be able to enter it :!: What's the difference if you get 2 checks or they give out 2 seperate checks to two different individuals? If you entered in the derby and are able to be talented enough or like me lucky enough to catch more than one fish that qualifies , then why the heck shouldn't you be able to cash in on all of them? WHY WHY WHY!!! Just think then Gambler could cash on 1st - 10th places in the laker division
  23. WOW A KING ME AND REELJERKS SITING IN THE SAME WEEK :shock: :!: :!: Great to hear from you Steve and glad to see your on the fish down there, even without me scaring all the fish towards you Hope your son does well in Holland I know you were excited for him when I spoke to you last. Good luck and let us know how he makes out.
  24. Blah Blah Blah about the lakers. Not worth a cent as far as I'm concerned LOC or not. I would rather catch a 5# brown in the spring than a 20# cement block any time of the year. They don't fight for crap, period! The 7 or 8 lb brown we took on Tuesady was a way way way better fight than the 12# laker my buddy caught the week before that literally sat there straight down and just reeled staright up, don't even think it splashed :shock: :roll: They suck and should be eliminated from the lake. Best part about the derby's are that people catch them, keep them and then they don't go back in the lake Jax's told me about your 7 fish on :shock: That must have been a real fire drill. I agree totally with everything you said about Sandy. Great fishing but miss some of the boys from I-Bay
