My boat does about 40 so if the top takes it on the water no reason it won't on the trailer. Just use a little common sense. Glen

If your subtroll is reading +1 all the time you should adjust the speed on it. Don't have time to post the precedure but it's in the directions for the unit. Glen

Nice..... I got sick of getting pounded 2 weeks in a row so I stayed home and fished a local pond out of my little boat Got pounded anyway. Back up next weekend. Glen

THe Browns will move deeper as the water warms. Their prefered temp range is 50 -60 but bait a more important factor to these crazy LO browns. I've caught them in water that was in the uper 60's more than once. Glen

Changed the name on mine. No bad luck and it catches a fish or two now and then. Glen

I have owned both and perfere the rollers hands down. Glen

Just love my outboards Glen

Saturday morning I woke up to a freight train coming towards my camper. Opps just the wind. Stuck my head out the door to try and establish a direction. Didn't work to well as the camper is down in a gulley and the wind usually swirls. Knew she was blowing good but got dressed and drove over to the lake anyway. Man was she crankin. Turned around and drove back to the camper. Needed a new gas grill so I made that my days project. Assembled the grill,cooked steaks, grill worked good. Sunday morning the wind wasn't as bad so I got ready and headed over to the lake. She was choppy but given the direction, WNW I knew I could get to a spot were I found a few fish last weekend and have a small area to troll with some protection. Running out sucked and I took a beating but sure enough there was an area calm enough to maintain a slow troll. Unfortunatley the water was like chocolate milk out to about 40 fow I trolled the break for awhile but it was to bumpy to hold a slow troll so I headed into 8 ft of calm water with 0 visability and trolled for an hour and a half or so. Picked up 2 small fish which given the conditions wasn't to bad I guess. One off a Chatruse and silver spoon, one of a flatlined black and gold stickbait. Felt good to be out. Glen

There are fish in that area. Whether or not they are catching them off the pier I can only guess they are. Jim, ya we will be out for the LOC. Keep a spot open for Jeff. You been able to get a hold of Petroy yet? I keep getting an answereing machine. Glen

Well, sure was nice getting out this early. About a week earlier than normal. Saturday morning got all the maintanance done on the boat and got her in the water. Was 2:30 pm before I hit the lake. Was solo so I ran 2 rods. Spoon on one stick on the other. Went west and it took me about an hour and a half to find a few. Once I found em i did 4 decent fish between 4:00 and 5:00. Had to quit early as I still had some things to do to get the camper ready while it was still daylight. Felt great hooking a few even as sluggish as they are in this cold water. Sunday morning decided to go north. Had a couple buddys up so I ran a good six rod spread. Mix of sticks and spoons. Again it took me a while to get on them but once we did we hit them pretty good going 9 or 10 for about 12 or 13 in a couple hours. Couple nice fish to boot. Biggest maybe 8. Regular Brown stuff. Water was 38 - 40 on top and the fish were sluggish but fun anyway. It's been a long winter. Glen

NIce fish Stan. Good work. Glen

Don, We run pink and clear Ande and theres no difference as far as the fleas go. Glen

Thoughts and prayer go out to Shirley and family. That websight was a great thing they did for the fishermen of LO. Glen

Erin, I got an 8 day conservation (25.25) and an 8 day sport fishing.(43.50) With the 2 9.00 charges everything came to about $83.00. conservation you can keep 2 fish a day and sport fishing you can keep 5 a day. We head out for the spring LOC. Glen

We ordered our Can. licence last week and they came in the mail today. In addition to the licence fee there was 2 $9.00 charges for an outdoor card. The card is a pink piece of paper that you MUST carry with your licence. It says before years end a plastic card will be sent to you. I guess from what I read it's good for three years. Just a heads up on what to expect. Glen

Hi Stan, Overcoming the tripping problem won't be much of an issue with the S. D. lite bite. What you want to consider is that it won't be much fun reeling in small fish with the gear required to run it as well as the tripped diver itself. Just my opinion. Glen

Maasuchusetts ain't much better. This fricken Governer wants to raise the gas tax by 29 cents a gal. making us the higest in the nation. I just heard today he wants to put a gps chip in the state inspection stickers and tax you on how far you drive. By the way his first week in office he went out to buy the Governers car. A Ford Crown Vic. He came home with a Cadillac. The following week he gave his wife a part time job as a scheduler for a measly $87,000 a year. Nice huh? Oh did I mention he's a democrat? I got alot of friends up in NY and I know you guys got it real bad also. Want to creat jobs and they drive industry from the state with their taxes. Oh man I got to get out on the water soon. Glen

Yup. got mine. glen

Big Easy.... Good one. Increased taxes and fees on the working man are bringing us down the pooper. Everything is going up but the paychecks. Alot of guys don't even have those now a days. Glen

2009 dates are up but no rules or fees yet. Should be soon. Heres their website: http://www.lakeontarioproam.net/home.html Should be posted there first. Glen

We run 30 lb clr to 20lb floro for our spoonn and plug rods and 40 lb pink on our attractor rods. Makes it easy when I got to run down in the cabin and grab another rod and the 40 lb gives me good control of the fish when in boat traffic. Glen

Sounds good. Scott, I'll keep an eye on the weather and get in touch if you want to get out. Got to be a little bit fussy with the air temp cause it is an open boat. No more 20 deg or under like we did with the 18 ft. way back when. LOL Glen

Scott, Think my new 16 1/2 ft aluminum might get out on the lake at Tauganock? Starting to get the urge. Thinking about those nice landlocks you were taking last season. Those Browns too. We can leave the lakers for somebody else. Glen

Jerry, Thats good news. Previous years had to pay 15% Fed. on anything over a grand so I didn't deduct taxes on the team split. Glen

The ones with NK stamped by the split ring on the narrow end of the spoons would be Northern Kings. You can go to their websight to get the names. Glen
