  1. I bought my first st. croix wire rods from them over 20yrs ago, and i still have them. They had it all then.
  2. Deep kings do chew, maybe not so aggressively. Put the biggest paddle you own with a big fly or meat so they can see it. My deepest to date is 274ft.
  3. I run my probe on the highest rigger, at the top of the break on my port rigger. I find the cold water, bring it up, and run it high. The blow back with 15lb balls is minimal. I run a scotty power grip clipped in above the probe, works mint. Dwayne and Hank are great at subtroll. If anyone needs parts in the Rochester area give me a call, I stock most of them. There is a adjustment in the back of the unit for speed. Go to a calm spot and drop youf probe down 3 ft out of any issues (prop wash) and adjust to your gps. Go several directions and speed, DONE go kill fish.
  4. Rochester is ice free and the bite is awesome come spring.
  5. Scottys hands down. Blacks will leave a curly feeling on your line that weakens over time. You can tell where you are putting your line in the release everytime, no doubt. Scotty power grips are bar none the best release out there. No residue on your line, and adjustments from very light to very tight. They also have a small piece of mono attached to them that allows you to see a small wiggly on your bait.
  6. I have been seeing more and more of these snow birds every year over the house. I went to mendon ponds Friday and there was 15 to 20 thousand of the noisy bastards. I haven't followed them to see where they are feeding. I think they are resting there and moving on.
  7. Good deal, glad to see you out.You didn't get skunked. Its a little scary thinking about that cold water. I will be in next Tuesday, fishing starts that weekend as well. I am sure the chewing will commence as usual for the early spring.
  8. I have been around the block with many brands and lengths. I have used the ugly stik 8'3 for many years now. Every now and then I will break one at the ferule. They do have a 5 year warranty. Timber lake and tackle is a great place to purchase.
  9. Seaguar has always been good stuff. The last 2 years I have been using trilene flouro wih great results, all the way around.
  10. No you don't, you can be a associate member. We typically meet on the first Tuesday of the month at the irondequoit fish and game club.7 p.m.
  11. We ( genesee charter boat association) are supposed to have the D.E.C. at one of our near future meetings to hammer them on this issue. We are always welcoming new members. We have a website to get meeting times and info. Strength is in numbers. True vince, protect is the main issue. 2 bad years of natural fish, and we will all know it.
  12. Caledonia was the best thing that ever happened to the west end of LO. The salmon fishing is nothing like it used to be when that hatchery was rearing the kings, especially in the fall. Don't get me wrong, fishing is still awesome, but the salmon hanging in the west end gets tough as summer progresses. I know, I know, you have been doing quite well fishing for them. I am relating to our late summer, early fall salmon stageing. Yes we have a bite and it starts to look promising, and then they are gone, heading east where they came from. I can follow these fish and see it happening, and then continue to follow them with phone calls to the east. Our fall fishing was phenomenal in front of the genny. This fishery ceased with the shut down of salmon at Caledonia in the early 2000s. I am in full support of the Caledonia hatchery raising Chinooks again. I agree with all our eggs in one basket is stupid. What really sucks about this situation as I feel, is that steve lapan has the final word, even though thousands of people and millions of dollars would benefit. Powdermill I suppose could work, Caledonia is a proven champ.
  13. Kill em all, them damn bunny/ bird /fawn killers. The fox are running around mating now vince, that's why you see them everywhere. Yes, the big dogs will chew up the juniors, and take over. Have you been able to fish the niagra?
  14. Shades of gray, just ate several marinated bunnies last night. I have never looked at livers for spots, or grubs, or what ever else people cackle about. Every fur bearing mammal has fleas and now ticks, I don't eat them or the fur they are on. I have been eating and hunting rabbits, white and brown ones for 30 plus years. I don't believe I am messed up any more then normal from eating them. I can tell you that snowshoes don't eat as well as the tails. I think it is they have to run to survive, cause they don't go in holes. That is a good looking **** you have. I have 2 excellent female hunters myself. Hope this helps, have fun, be safe.
  15. Pick me, pick me. I catch fish, guaranteed. Just having some fun. Pick your port and time, do your homework and you will catch fish, and most of all have a great time.
  16. I will sell all 9 reels for 500$. NOW thats a DEAL. These are the smoothest drag out there and idiot proof.
  17. I have a standard horizon color chart plotter with maps built in. It is the cp50 model. I would let it go for 225$. This is a 1000$ unit. Mint shape and all works. Call bruce at 585-750-3164
  18. They do not have line counters. They are 9 ft a pass. I now have 9 reels left, for 60$ each or,,,,,,,
