I've been running Shakespear Ugly Sticks for quite a few years and they work great for Browns and should be good for Walleye as well. You can still enjoy the battle of a smaller Brown but have taken a few Kings by accident on them. Too light for the Kings but they held up. Model # BWD 1101 8" 3" light action. Line weight 6-20 lbs. At $50.00 a rod I am very pleased with them. Glen

Good question Shade. I was wondering the same thing. Glen

You can fish the mouth of the Salmon in a small boat BUT anything coming out of the west will build and you'll be taking them broadside running parallel to the shoreline. Oswego like Musky said is a better bet if theres any wind. Glen

Congratulations there young man. Thats a fine looking boat and you'll have alot of fun with her. Glen

Happy birthday Rodney. Glen

DITTO. Would LOVE to fish that one. Glen

Sorry that picture is to small to see. I'll try it again. This picture was a double that me and Chris (Traveling Man) got one day. My wife insited on taking a picture while she was laughing her a_ _ off. Remeber those monsters Chris? "I think I got one" "I think I got one too" Glen

You are correct to a point Sean. Heres a couple small Brown tails. Heres the Seneca Mystery fish tails. Combined with the pictures of the short jaws they are landlocks. Glen

OK thanks Lakebound88. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Glen

Ya I know. Towed the boat home to many times in snow and ice from out there. Makes for a longggg slowwww ride. Is the launch at Taugonock still iced in? Keep me posted if you can. Thanks Glen

Cowder did you go out today? Also you guys that went out on Seneca yesterday, did you hit any big landlocks? I'm thinking about taking a long ride out for next weekend. Thanks Glen

You gave yourself the accurate answere with the shots of the tails and the jaws relative to the eye. Glen

Tuna....

Check this boat out. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14854. Reel recomendations would depend on what you want to spend and what type of fish you are looking to catch. Glen

Happy Birhtday Stan. Keep those pictures comming. Glen

Happy Birthday Shark. Glen

The jaw stops short of the back of the eye and the tails are forked. Both landlocks. Look at how the jaw runs past the back of the eye on the Browns in your picture Sting. Glen

Nice job Split... Thanks Glen

Lost my head there for a second Jeff.

but i'm sure that most of the time spoons are the better option Not necessarily. There have been plenty of days that I watched Browns on the FF swim up to the spoons and not hit um and had that stickbait running behind take most of the fish for the day. Especially after the bite is over and the fish are shut down late in the morning on sunny days. I like Rapala floaters in size 11 for this type of situation. They will run about 3 to 4 feet below the ball at 40 -60 ft lead. Glen

Sticks off the riggers will take fish. Next time you get an idea just try it. I 've saved many days just trying stuff thats off the wall. Glen

Can't comment on those sticks as I don't run them. Mostly Rapalas for me and I can usually get something going by changing models for different actions. As far as colors it all depends on the conditions that day or even that hour. Black and silver, black and gold, firetiger, perch, chartuse , orange or red. They all take fish. I will usually run a spread that I have had success with under the current conditions but usually have one rod with something different out there and see what happens. Then make adjustments accordingly. Glen

Scotty booms are VERY strong. Anything lighter than a truck you should be OK. LOL I believe Scottys are rated for 20 Lbs. Glen

Happy birthday Tom. Hope it is a good one. Glen
