Tall Tails

See everyone tomorrow! Looks like good weather to come on in see if you can find a deal!

I would use the small spro swivels. This will help stop any grass or small debris from getting to the lure.

Lets try and have these well attended! I will see everyone Wed night in Pulaski!

From what I am told the regional managers in the western fingerlakes are not prepared for a State of the Lakes. A big Thank you to Dave Lemon the region 7 manager who saw a need for this. I will be at the Groton meeting. Should be a good turnout.

As of yesterday afternoon it is a sell out! Looking forward to another great Tackle sale!

I can tell you that ELOSTA and LOTSA are working on this. I have already made the Conservation council aware and we are working on it. There will come a time where we will need you to contact your representatives. I will try and keep you guys updated as we move forward on this. Thanks, Brian

I am the First person to stand up and be heard on my second amendment rights. Those of you who know me personally have seen my facebook posts in recent weeks. However to boycott a hunting licences wont do any good you will only hurt the DEC and our wildlife budget. We have said all along the the 2nd Amendment is not about hunting, and isnt. To me if you want to not spend money or spend money it would be on a canidate for office that supports your opinion or views. I for one will be looking hard from here on out at a person running for office that supports my views and I will also ask the hard questions. It is my personal opinion that not purchasing hunting license's wont do a darn thing but hurt our wildlife. This is not the DEC'd fault.. See you on THURSDAY in Albany!!!!

I run a B 60 with my 585. It works great! No complaints other then mine is mounted a touch to far to the stern for my liking. I have a little interference while running. I can still use it while running it just is not perfect.

I am with you Rick. This is redicoulous... I see no benefit to this at all!! The surplus is there because he created it by not spending the MONEY!!! Nothing more then trying to get back into the good graces of NYS sportsmen..

I would rather leave the dock without a fishfinder then a speed and temp probe.

Larry we are on the same team. What I should have said and this is info from a recent Federation presidents meeting is that this is being done without input nor do they want any. I dont think you will see this at your local federation up for discussion. We were told this was happening without input... Again I am not up set with the propsal I am just upset with the process... Anything at all with licenses are supposed to come from the conservation council and in this case it is not.

Normally I would be all for this however they are doing this yet again without any consultation with the NYS conservation council which is our voice in Albany.... Our govenor has choose to completely ignore the conservation council during his term.. They have locked down our funding and not spent much to fund the DEC in last few years we all know that. There are many unfilled postions all throughout the DEC and no way to fill them. The other big issue is the GAG order placed on the DEC they can not talk to the press or any of us without prior authorization. I asked our reg 7 fisheries people recently to respond to the negative press on the lake and all they could do was apologize and tell me they were not allowed to... The last I heard we had 40 million dollars in the conservation fund that the govenor is not allowing to be used. To me it makes sense to lower the license fee however without any consultation and opinion it is useless. As far as the Charterboat license goes I think the numbers would need to be looked at to make sure the revenue collected from that license is the same as the revenue collected from the people who buy it themselves to go on a charter. The numbers exist within each countys tourism departments to do this. You also need to ask yourself as Captains are you ok paying a 1000.00 dollars to run 35 trips vs the guy who pays 1000.00 to run 150 trips? Just food for thought. I am not bashing the idea I am just not sure if it works. Also would you include river guides in this? That really changes things. Capt. Brian Garrett President of the ELOSTA

Team Tall Tails is in! 12 fish NO COMM is the best format! See everyone there!

I run a Depth raider. Coated cable on my center rigger. Blow back was the same. I also ran that wire on the HP scotty I think it was to fast for the cable. I do know people who had luck with it on there 1116 scottys. Maybe they will add to the discussion here. I used the same connector as the coated cable. The name of it is escaping me at the moment. The connector was not where it broke. It would just randomly snap in the cable. I wrote to torpedo and there response was we are sorry it did not work out for you... I also run a fishhawk on my port boom rigger as I like having 2 probes going all the time and I hardly notice any blowback with that new fishhawk probe.

Go see Screwy Louie's or All Seasons if you want to buy a scotty product locally, they can get you whatever you need.

I wish you luck. I lost 3 shark weights and 2 probes before I learned my lesson. Best place I found for that stuff was the trash bin.

With Scottys it is really not useful to put in a switch. It is important to get the most out of the rigger, that you have 30amps. I have a fuse block that only my riggers run through. If a scotty rigger comes up and goes past the autostop bead it will come to a stop (and may break the ball and or probe off at this point) and pop the fuse. At least mine do therefore since the only powered function of the scottys is to come up there is no draw any other time. I have 6 gauge wire from my batteries to the fuse block and 10 gauge after that running as far as 8ft, all Marine grade. This block powers all 5 of my Scotty hp's.

There is DEC camps all over the state. Kids attend usually by being sponsored by sporting clubs. I know at ELOSTA we sent 7 kids to camp last summer. These camps teach all aspects of the outdoors. I would imagine if you donated money to say trout unlimited or any sporting club in the Rochester area with a specific purpose to send these kids to camp they would accept it.
