yup, Can't beat um. I keep a 12" and 10" on the boat. use the 12 to take the fillets off the carcus and the 10 to take the skin off the fillets and trimming. That way it's a good long time before I need to sharpen them. Good to touch them up with a fine steel every so often also and keep um like a razor. Glen

Thanks guys. glen

Has been do you even know how your head of the dept of fisheries got the job? Or what his qualifications are? Or the fact that the majority of NY sportsmen were not at all happy with his appointment? Do some research. There are new guys on the site that might put some credence into your ramblings. Thats not a good thing. Take into consideration the guys that are out there fishing day in and day out and what they have to say. They just might have a little something to share thats worth something. I believe these guys are the real experts. And definatley NOT, as you state greedy for wanting to run a more productive spread and catch the fish they are out there for. Glen

Anybody get that fricken online registration to work? First time I tried it kept telling me I didn't have anything in my cart. Thats after I selected 2 western tourneys and the lake cup. They were in the cart. I just tried again and it acknowleged they were in the cart and I filled out all fields. When I went to make purchase the dam thing keeps kicken me back and says to review my order. Anybody else have any luck? Thanks Glen

Sure. Chime in. Glen

Nice technique Eskimo Joe... Good job Hank. Glen

I ran my Tite loks for 5 years and many fish and they where still going when I upgraded last year. They are now on my little boat. A lock washer will prevent the loosening problem and without the loosening problem the studed washers will last as well. There are better rod holders out there but as mentioned, very pricey. Glen

I got a set of the small ones and am pretty happy with them so far. Had to tune one of them up just a little bit to get it to stop diving but know it's perfect. I run mine per instructions. Hell I ran them last Sunday in 16 to 18 mph winds with a nasty little chop just to see if they would handle it and they did to my suprise. I'm going to pick up another set. Let us know how the big ones run after you try them. Glen

Nice job Andy.... Glen

Thanks guys. Glen

Nice Randy. Thats the direction I wanted to go on Sunday but the wind said west. Glad to hear things are picking up and you did well. Any big ones on the Browns? Glen

Hows the Brown fishing? Thanks Glen

I Like to keep it simple and it seems to work OK for me. White on white. Green on green and secret variations of flies on Chrome. LOL Good starting place for ya. Glen

Thanks guys. Rodney, See you in a couple. Nick I got the check. Thanks. PJ I'll be looking for your boat. Fish were really healthy but had to work for um. No easy ones or big numbers.... YET. Good fishing everybody. Glen

The levels were extremely low but have been slowly coming up the last 2 weeks. Probably only a foot below normal as of this past weekend. Stay way from the far north launch like Todd mentioned and you'll be fine. Glen

Finally got the wife up to the Lake this weekend. Saturday the Bay was crankin and I couldn't fish with just the wife in the boat so we took the day off and relaxed around the camper. Well at least one of us relaxed and the other one split and stacked firewood, worked on the boat for 3 hours and cleaned up the campsight for the rest of the season.....Shes a good women. LOL. Sunday morning finally got out on the lake and fished for about 4 hours. Fished the only area the WNW wind would allow with just the wife and I on the boat. Her first fish of 2010 was a nice spunky rainbow about 7 lbs. In the next few hours we did a Coho, three Browns and dropped 2 more Browns ending the morning 5/7. All fish were healthy and starting to battle a little bit with the water temps climbing into the upper 40's. Sticks off the boards took all but 2 shots today spoons off the riggers took the other two. Fished 8 to 18 fow. From what little I saw the numbers of Browns are just not here yet but there are enough to keep busy with. It will only get better. Glen

Nice fish Split....

Way to hit um Jax. Glen

Nice Lakers Todd... Glen

9" from the front to the knot 14 " from the back to the knot according to Big John. You drill your holes 3/4 of an inch from center to center lower on the board (towards the bottom) straight down from the originals. Sean this is for the tow line holes They will pull like hell. Glen

Can't help you with those launches but Mexico is open about 4 miles away incase their not. Glen

Stick with your Cannon terminators. They don't cause any spots that create week spots in the cable to fail. Can't get a much stronger connection as I've been running them for probably 10 years and never had one fail. On my probe rigger I use thimble and crimps to insure a good contact but check it often for signs of ware. Seems like I always end up trimming and reconnecting because of frayed coating before I ever have problems around the crimps. I don't know what kind of releases you plan on using but I use Scotty pinch pads off Atomic Torpedo weights and this system works good for me. Might be completey different if your going to use inline releases. Glen

You will need backing on a Convector 30 to fill the spool to that 1/8 mark. I like to fill my reels to that mark so I use backing. Problem being it's been so long since I put wire on an Okuma I don't remeber how much you'll need. Come to think about it I don't even remeber if it was 30 lb or 20 lb wire I put on there. You can always put your wire on one reel, then the backing to fill her up, then transfere the whole thing from one reel to another. Keep track of how much backing goes onto the 2nd reel before you hit the wire and you'll be good to go for any future reels you do. Glen

In my opinion the end of April beggining of May you will be better off at the Bar. The Oak is an outstanding port also but usually the Niagara area is better that early in the season. Glen

Very nice. Thanks. Glen
