  1. Bad weekend..... this one happened Saturday night around 9:30 http://rochester.ynn.com/content/top_st ... -accident/
  2. Oswego is also included; 15 out of the top 21 salmon on the Fall LOC are out of Oswego area compared to 2 from the West end; seems like Oswego way has the advantage.
  3. What about the Eagle Claws did you not like? WAY too soft, IMO, for a supposed dipsy rod; like the post above a lot of bend before the first eye., the pole just did not have enough backbone, IMO. We didn't like them for wire, we have a Eagle Claw on our lead and like it. We have also tried a 8'6" downrigger rod and hated it, used it once and went back to our old shakespeare alpha rod.
  4. We are pulling out of IBAY tomorrow and heading to Sodus unless Rochester gets better -- good to see the 33$ weighted into Rochester today!
  5. Personally we did not like the Eagle Claw Starfire rods; we just got rid of both the 10' we had for wire. We just switched to a 8' Quantum Affinity and so far it has been the best wire rod we have had
  6. This site is the best! Thanks everyone for the generous offers and help Screwy Louie's had the parts we wanted, just picked them up and are getting ready to head back out!
  7. Thanks again! Will let you know They just needed to last another month because we are looking at upgrading to Big Jons or Scottys next year
  8. Good to know that browns are still inside. When we went out this mourning we saw a few working very tight around shipbuilders. We headed way out deep and work 350-600 and marked a lot of fish and bait but only a few takers. On MAG Green/Glow NBK; MAG Chart/Glow NBK and the glowfrog spinney/hammer fly; all off the riggers our wire has gone cold of recent
  9. We have a subtroll as well Thanks for the offer that is awesome! But I think we found the parts @ Screwie Louies, they were sure they had the parts however the guy that differently knows is at the Oswego store and will not be back until 3:00 this afternoon.
  10. thanks I already looked at fish307. I haven't called to see if they actually had the parts in stock or not. Will call shortly when we get back to the dock. Of course the rigger that broke is our down temp probe so we were hoping to get something so we could get back in the water this afternoon. Of need be next day air from fish307.

  11. Does anyone in the Rochester area carry parts for cannon riggers. We are looking for a drive pin with the gear on the end. Ours just broke a few teeth off [ Post made via Mobile Device ]
  12. look at the weather buoy and determine. We have gotten up and left the dock just to get out of the pier and turn around. We found it hard to believe this mourning after a full day of 6-10' waves yesterday no chance for fishing; but we were pleasantly surprised We did run offshore this tonight; temp is a bit better but very few fish. Did 1 king about 10#. inside waters have gotten even colder from this AM -- 40.x* down 35 over 45
  13. We did not as we had to get back in someone early to get back to work. Some radio chatter from boats fishing 550+ fow and had surface temps in the mid 60's; and reports of A LOT of bait but few and scattered targets
  14. Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: Off Track ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): 8/24 Time on Water: 6:00am - 9:00 am Waves: less than 1' Surface Temp: 55-58 =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 1 Total Boated: 1 Species Breakdown: Brown Trolling Speed: 2 - 2.75 @ the probe Boat Depth: 30 - 100 Lure Depth: 10' ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Fished West of the bay started at the sewer and worked towards Forest Lawn. Cold water everywhere (not much of a surprise)! surface temp 55-58 down temp 43 @ 40' over 60'; 50 @ 20' over 30 - 50. Only bite was a brown while we were changing our fixed slider, it was maybe 10' down on a NK28 Green/Cooper NBK Marked a lot of bait but not many targets
  15. 2 10' Diver Rods 1 8'6" Downrigger Rod Dowrigger rod was used only 3 or 4 times 1 Diver rod was used about 10 times with wire ( eyes are all in good shape) 1 diver rod is brand new $20.00ea for the used (1 x 8'6" Downrigger; 1 x 10'0 Diver Rod) $30.00 for the new 10' diver rod We are located in Ontario NY for pickup or will bring them to Sodus with me for pickup
  16. Not a snakehead. The head of the dead fish looks to be rounded We have seen many Bowfins this year in Sodus Bay around the docks at Katlynns
  17. No observer unless you are in the top XX on the second day? Observer supplied by the tournament?? Correct?
  18. We fish out of a Scarab/Wellcraft 25'; 8'6" beam with Twin 115 yamaha 4 strokes....no problems at all, we have fished in 5'+ waves without problem No storage problems; holds 6 rods under the side rails, plenty of storage under the center console(5'1" headroom), ; 2 in floor fish boxes; 180qt in floor cooler We have been toying the idea to replace her with a 35' Scarab Tournament CC
  19. I was told that the water is up to July average
  20. Atommik and Siggs are both manufactures and will both ship to Canada. HUGE selection; I do most of my shopping via the website's just because most tackle shops do not carry every color
  21. We have some bar spots in our sub-troll cable around 90', you just have to make sure a bare spot is not were the antenna reads. We have no problems and have about 4" of bare wire. If we stop it in the antenna it does not work, if we just run it out/down past the antenna or deeper(we run it up to 125') no problems with speed or temp Check connections and interference possibility as suggested above
  22. same problem/fix with the Moor Sub-Troll as well We have never had a huge build up of fleas on our cables. Not saying that once in a while we have maybe 1/2" or so of them when we bring it up
  23. We are also running Mag10's...... Excited about seeing these new riggers out of Cannon Billy; are the Cannon "dual axis rod holders" something new as well or will these work on our older mag10s? I see them in the picture with the new riggers. It looks like they mount between the base and the rigger? http://store.cannondownriggers.com/dyn_ ... p?k=325076
