Fishtails

It would be great to just hear from one or two guys that have used these. I have seen them before and they just look so bulky. I guess I am having trouble envisioning it. For my boat, electric would be nice to reel in coppers for a lure change or when picking up and moving or end of the day. How many times have a lot of us left a rig on a 600-700 copper too long without a bite cause we didn't want to keep reeling it in. I can't be the only one guilty of that I see nothing wrong with it, but I personally wouldn't want to reel in a fish that way. I have electric downriggers, electric planer board reels - why not the copper ?

I want to thank Capt. Brian Garret of Tall Tails for a good deed. Two days ago I pulled the boat from K&G to Wrights marina in Oswego and I forgot the tie down I put on my Otter Boats that I leave on my hardtop. I'm good like that . We notice at Wrights we are missing an Otter boat so after launching the boat and docking, we traced our route back but it was nowhere to be found. I quickly gave up on it and owe another thanks to Al and Mary from Hook N Up on Red Dock for offering the use of one of theirs. When I returned to the boat several hours later, There sat BOTH otter boats on my engine box . Crazy thing is, I don't have my name on them. Turns out Brian left K&G soon after I did and figured it was mine after seeing me leave shortly before I suppose. So Thank you Very much Tall Tails, I owe you one !!! Times like this really make me feel good about our fishing community in general, and honored to be a very small part of it.

I don't think this is really an accurate blanket statement. As an example, I just got back from a two day trip where I took two buddies up to Lake O. They wanted fish, so why I normally release most fish this was a meat trip. We limited day one and one of those fish was a heavy bleeder 20" king. Now, after being drug around behind a flasher fly and then reeled in and being out of the water a couple minutes to remove deep set hooks, that fish was dead - say whatever you will about it's chances, IMO it had no chance for survival. In the box it went and I don't want to have to feel embarrassed about that because you or others think it makes me less of a fisherman? Like Nick (Ruff Rider) , I put in a decent amount of trips per year for someone from SE Pa. Don't judge me at the cleaning station based on the size of one fish. We kept a smaller suicide steelhead too. This mentality isn't right. Knowing it exists, I cleaned the two small fish first, then the matures just to get them off the table. I prefer to look at it this way instead.: Using my trip as an example - A boat goes out and takes it's legal limit. In my case it was 9 fish. At the end of the trip we killed 9 fish. Had I thrown those two dead smaller fish back and caught 2 more larger fish, we would have accounted for 11 dead fish. Add that up over the year with all the charters and do the math. It's actually conservation. Those of us who account for the majority of fish caught over a whole season do care, and we release every small fish possible. If it's going to die, please cull it and put it towards your limit and enjoy Just my opinion on the matter, for what it's worth. As a side note guys, the fishing right now rocks !! Bait is still in the bellies and the kings and coho's are in Oswego and as of yesterday they were still biting hard !! It was an all A-Tom-Mik fly bite for us and they are swallowing the fly's right now with long blistering runs. These kings still have a lot left in the tank! Tons of fun right now, get out it you can. Hey ADK1, The Coho have shown up in Oswego and in good numbers. We caught 4 in the 8-12 lb range just two days ago. They were mixed in with the kings and also a bit outside of them. They were still silver and still holding in temp, so in our case the Coho were 120 - 150 foot of cable out on the riggers with a 12lb shark just after a west blow, but that was coming up fast as we left with a hard south wind. Get em while you can !!!
