I'm not fishing the Finger Lakes Stan as far as lures my two hot ones are already posted above. Glen

DITTO Glen

Thanks for the update Bill. Glen

46 in our local lakes and those rainbows don't want to chase anything fast. Banged them again this weekend. glen

No nothing wrong with that. Just a little unusual is all. In my experience when something is a little unusual about an internet deal it's a warning flag. Good luck with your purchase. Looks like a nice rig. Glen

And he left a phone #. Hummm. Glen

Rick, Very sorry to hear about your Dad. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Glen and Kelly.

Stan What are your water temps during this period? Glen

Sweeeeet looking Landlocks. Glen

No way I voted for this snake oil salesmen. In fact during the campain I blew out my back and was out of work for 8 weeks so I got to watch him change his story every inch of the way. Watch Fox news for some accurate and honest reporting. Sure there is a journalist or two who are far right but most are conservatives and give an acurate assesment of what this guy is doing. AND IT IS SCARY. Glen

MANY THANKS To all the men and women who have and do now protect our freedom. Glen and Kelly

My wife and I fished from 8:00 am to 11:00 am this morning Stan. Water temp was 46 deg. Did 6 Bows, lost 2 and they wouldn't touch anything over 2.1 sog. This morning we hit um good on flat lined copper spoons and small silver and red flat fish just below the surface. Glen

Beautiful country Stan. What kind of fish are in those nice clean looking lakes? Thanks for posting.

Well Iceman there are alot of good hard working American familys that are eating because they are employed by Toyota. My truck was built in California. None of them are on the unemployment line during this time of layoffs and no jobs. Now the only comment I got for your World war two rant is I wasn't around then. My father fought in that war and god rest his sole is long passed. That seems like a real friggin stretch to me. You really have a strong argument with the cash for clunkers program. Far as I'm concerned I'd like to keep some of my paycheck instead of having the government spread it around to the companys that have been ripping us off blind and living high off the hog for years. I can't see them hurting now if they built a quality product at a resonable price. Would we even be talking about Toyota now if they did? But thanks for the insight. Glen

Iceman I have heard about this and I do know it's all speculation at this point. Have to wait and see what comes of this. I also know that my tax dollars are not being used to bail out Toyota/ Lexus and I find that FACT to be pretty interesting at this point. I also find the timing of this story to a bit coincidental with the government take over of GM. Seems like this type of story telling is quite common place with our current administration. Anyway I'm sure we will learn the truth and hope it's done quickly to prevent any further injuries or losses. In the meantime I'm pretty happy with my Toyota. And Scottys too. On a side note when people ask for opinions on these message boards you will never see me comment on a product I don't have any experience with. Come on April. Glen

LOL. Good call Tom. 170,000 + on my 01 Tacoma. Had to replace a sensor this past summer. Only thing thats broke on it so far other than regular maintanence stuff and shes done alot of towing. As far as the Scotty belts go you are correct. Every season I check the tension on the belts and use the tension adjuster if needed. Takes about 2 minutes. Glen

Scottys are tough to beat. The belts hold up just fine. I've only had to replace one in 14 or 15 seasons and that was caused by an operater error. Pulled a plastic bag up into the front roller. Why pay more when the Scottys are very good riggers? Don't make sense. IMO. Every year I see more and more boats switching over to Scottys. Must be something to it. I can vouch that they last. Glen

Very glad to hear you made it back safe. Thank god for those other fishermen. Glen

If you want to buy the best, go with the Shimano Tekotas. 500 lc's would be fine for the Finger Lakes and Brown trout on LO. Maybe a little overkill but you asked what the best reels were. 600 lc's are what I use for riggers and wire on LO and 700 and 800's for copper and let me tell you they are sweet. If you can afford it get the best. No more upgrades after that. Glen

I have the AP12 H and it's been flawless for 4 or 5 seasons now. I couldn't be happier with mine and it gets a lot of use. Nasty seas included. Obviously theres a problem with your unit. I would take them up on their offer and send the whole unit back to them. If they get it straightened out you will end up with one nice AP. I know it's a pain in the a_ _ but once in a while you end up with a bum unit. It happens but it sounds like they are standing behind their product. If it makes it any easier I know quit a few guys that are also extremely happy with their Simrads and no issues. I"m pretty sure yours is the first problem I've heard of. Good luck and don't give up yet. Glen

Yes. Glen

Got a Garmin and have no complaints. Like the color unit. Easy to use and decent maps of Lake Ontario. Can't go wrong with a Garmin. Glen

Iceman, Why would you want to stay and share your infinate wisdom on such an unfair and biased message board as this one? Surley there are other places and people you could help that would appreciate you. Glen

Nice Scott. I'm going to try to make it out for some winter Landlocks with the little boat a couple times this year. Will be in touch. Hope your dad is doing well. tell him I said hello. Glen

We run Jplugs on our boat Stan. Never ran the others. No reason to. We do just fine on the J's. Glen
