  1. I don't care for the Great Lakes stuff either. It is rugged and over built just not sexy and stream lined. For a guy who needs to move there rod holders it is a good design. And from the sounds of it there customer service sounds good. More then I can say about traxstech...I ordered a rod storage rack in early April that I haven't received. I have given up calling at least I hadn't paid for it. To bad too, as I really wanted all matching gear on my boat but I was warned about Traxstech and it looks like there customer service blows as I was told. It was one excuse after another.
  2. I maybe interested in something similar as well KilliansRed. My boat is in Olcott in April and May.
  3. We have already been told this is the case. From the sounds of things if a pen site wants to increase there pen numbers for every 1 pen fish they add they will deduct 2 from the direct stock at that site. Jerry please correct me if I am wrong but I believe that is what was said on our last call. For the record I am in favor of this cut as long as it is analyzed every year and increased when it is needed.
  4. It should still be decent as this blow will put up a wall of warm water. I don't think a lot of fish will hit the river. If it was a hard east wind instead of west then it might be questionable. Good Luck!
  5. We pay $12 an acre for our 240 acre lease. It is mostly hardwoods and the land owner has it to use as an income property using the logs. We have planted a few kill plots on the logging roads. Yea we will lose them when they log but the roads need to planted anyway for proper erosion control so it works for both of us.
  6. Call Tim at Krenzer Marine. He has a 33 in the yard they are parting out. He maybe able to help you.
  7. I heard Great things about this event. Marlene enjoyed it thoroughly as part of the Fish n Chicks team! I know she cant wait for next year all ready.
  8. Slippery Sinker in Olcott usually has it on his shelf.
  9. Explanation as to why a cut maybe coming. It is a very good power point presentation. There will be more public meetings after they have determined a course of action.
  10. Paul, Have you read the Lake Ontario Management Plan? They are required to manage the lake for King Salmon. Do you REALLY think anybody wants to cut salmon stocking?? Nobody said we were looking at this years fish. They are trying to think ahead to 2019. Whether you want to believe it or not there are 2 year classes of bait missing. No one is going to argue with you about the amount of bait were seeing. The 3 to 7yr old alewives look great. But as you know an Alewife does not contribute that much to the spawn after they are 5yrs of age. So what s the plan in 2yrs?? If we do nothing we are looking at a scenario like Huron and now Michigan. How about being a little pro active. Don't get me wrong I still have not decided if I personally agree with all the data yet or not however having a scientific back round and being in the professional world were we use this kind of data sets everyday with our Clients it is hard to argue. To me we need closer monitoring of the DEC activities and FOR SURE HOLD THEM ACOUNTABLE! If we get this TEMPORARY CUT they cant miss on the BT or Steelhead stocking targets and we should be asking for more. Although there have been papers written on how destructive Steelhead are on young of the year Alewives... From what we are told another part of plan is to decrease laker stocking as well. But since the entire plan has not been made public lets all do our part to not spread rumors especially on public forums were we spout off without having all the pieces of the puzzle.
  11. I don't have an exact number as of yet but it is going to be very small. Maybe 200 to 300k. Doesn't amount to much. The negative impact with publicity will hurt more then that amount of kings..... The Lake Ontario management plans require them to manage the Lake for kings. This is more then likely a temporary measure. A big year with Natural spawn and it easily makes up for that number. You want to be pro active stay out of the upper fly zone of the salmon river and let those kings do there thing!
  12. That is what you should be asking for!! And domestic rainbows. Both are homebodies....
  13. So if they stock more salmon in Mexico there will be more salmon to catch in Mexico? Is that your theory? You do know Salmon River stocked fish spend there summer on the North Shore off Toronto.. It has been proven. A king salmon can swim 60 miles in a 24hr period if they so desire.. It has nothing to do with stocking levels and everything to do with the water they want to live in....
  14. Add Lake Trout back. We need to harvest all we can at this point. It is a matter of fishery management at this point.
  15. Those 12 to 14s are Small Kings. That area was loaded with them this weekend. I drove away so we wouldn't hook them. Best thing you can do.
  16. Bump for a mint boat!
  17. It was a pleasure having you guys aboard.
  18. It would be perfect for you. Jim is one of my mates and teammates on the tourney team. This boat is mint.
  19. This boat will make a perfect weekend setup. Jim is very meticulous with his gear. The boat is spotless. Good Luck with the sale Jim!
  20. Thanks Guys! We fished on her last week for 5 days and it was a dream. Boat is simple to drive. Easiest boat I have ever driven, boat control in tight spaces is easy. As far as fuel goes I put edelbrock carbs in her. 1 gallon per hour trolling so its very efficient there. Running I have not found her sweet spot yet. 1 gallon per mile, per motor but I think I can get it a little better with a little carb adjust a maybe a prop change. The only thing I am waiting on are Arch rod holders. Once those arrive the rigging will be complete.

  23. This is a good idea. To bad it should have been done from the beginning south shore wide.. We will do our part.
