  1. you are right about it being the easiest way. get out there and use em and you will get good enough to tell when the smallest fish is on em ( they just act funny) also another option is go with the tattle flag upgrade. the flag will bounce up a down when a fish is on the line.
  2. we use the 10.5 and they are huge!!! really helps when you are cranking in that much weight (wire plus fish). I like em and for 30 buck you can't go wrong. Go with the twilli tip right off. you are going to buy them anyway
  3. i have seen topics for how deep copper goes but how deep does wire go? lets assume dipsie is set at 3.5. Can't find the answer with the search button thanks
  4. i have never had trouble down at the river either, but in broad daylight during the salmon run i have come up to two different people with their cars broken into. actually the people fishing are great just like any other fisherman and if you really want to make friends do what grady did, GIVE SOME FISH!!! i did that during salmon season and the guys would cheer for me when i walked down the steps the next time i was there. they would tell me how they loved that good salmon
  5. oh yeah its in the hood!!! also i have heard of people using jigs with twister tails do pretty well
  6. this time of year..... watch the weather and make a trip to erie. walleyes everywhere... if ya want to go a little further there is oneida in syracuse. you will also not be dissapointed there eiyther! areas right in rochester, the genny has some good eyes by the seth green apartments. you can access by boat or land. honeoye lake is also very good but difficult to get em during the day. ya might catch a ton of bass and lots huge gills. conesus also was good to us in the spring but has slowed down a lot since the weeds came up. not sure about bradocks or long pond or any of the other ponds off of ontario but hope this helps
  7. i snipped my right off with some wire cutters. worked good
  8. hey storm front jump over to fishfinder.com and ask the guy over there. he was crushing eyes out of the salmon river in the spring. here is a link to the most recent post he had. huge browns too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_for ... ic=22052.0
  9. bruisers!! nice bucks.... love the mathews hat in the third pic!
  10. were you using riggers, core, dipseys to get em down! great days!!! nice job i never tied a stickbait to my line once...
  11. actually got wednesday off, thinking about it i will let you know. just with gas the way it is, its almost a $120 from rochester with the truck and the boat. thanks shawn! how are the riggers treating you? heard you were out at hanks' did ya get the boat in tip top shape. i still gotta get a 15hp out to him.
  12. limited out all three days, couldn't keep em off of us. worm hareness and bottom bouncers. fire tiger and a black and chartreuse was the hot ones for the week. first two days between 109-111 and little round 113. last day was really hot at 119-121. its horrible when you gotta get off the lake at 9 cause ya got limited out on 17-22 inch walleye. absolutely horrible storm front, tried calling on the radio on friday for ya. did you go out or did you end up going to owasco.
  13. i have a serious problem with site! i can't stop logging on and checking it. its affecting my work and my wife thinks i am crazy!! anybody else want to go to lou-anonymous??????????
  14. all really good advice! thanks guys. i don't fish lake o with my 16 ft. i really only fish lake ondeida, conesus, honeyeo. so the huge waves aren't an issue. just looking for a little cheaper than running my 40hp. not that it sucks a lot of gas but any that i can save these days..... the other reason i was trying to get away with the lower hp is i wanted the gas tank mounted with it and of course its cheaper. also thanks gene i may want the bracket and the easy steer if the price is right but i gotta find a motor first. i will keep you in mind.
  15. thinking about adding a small kicker to my 16ft aluminium 1990 sea nymph. what hp do you think i would need for a nice versatile troll. with a max speed of 2.4
  16. storm front, i will be there friday. i will call you on your cell. only going to fish in the am. the wife wants to do fourth of july crap and that doesn't involve fishing poles. i did pick up a vhf the other day. what channel do people use over there?
  17. nope got a little too snickered on saturday, felt little groggy yeserday.
  18. nice work! where were you? north south east west??? thanks headed there thursday!
  19. did pretty good on saturday. straight out of the harbor in 60 to 70ft of water with east troll. went 6-10 and dropped a 10lb'er at the boat. all really good eaters 4-7 lb range. most fish came on a mono dipsies 175 back with black and copper harenesses. speed was about 1.6 to 1.9 at the ball. fish were thick on bottom in the am and moved up in the water column to about 35ft in the pm. waves were huge!! haven't seen em on erie like that in a long time. rouge 8's rolling in! ray thanks for the info.
  20. watermelon is always a favorite. can't go wrong with black and purple either. actually two years ago we crushed em on one i called the strawberry shortcake. copper blades with red dots and a red stripe through the middle. We use the larger harenesses, the ones with two hooks and uses wire (not the mono ones). the blades are shaped longer than they are fatter. never tried another size. I think color depends on water conditions and part of the year. i usually throw the kitchen sink at em and see what they are hitting then adjust accordingly, but you have a good start.
