  1. Hobie's are nice but they have one draw back I don't like, you can't back up. That's why I went with a Native ultimate propel kayak. I do a lot of bass fishing around docks and this gives the ability to stop quick and back up. Of course with the propeller it's useless in the weeds. In the weeds the propeller comes up and the paddle comes out.
  2. Sorry but this is from the DEC about Black Lake. Fish Species:Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Northern Pike, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Yellow Perch, Brown Bullhead
  3. I wasn't out there this morning and lost more then I landed. 3 for 8. At least there was some action.
  4. Ocean Trident 11 for sale. $650 or bo. See add in Craig's list: http://rochester.craigslist.org/boa/4520310206.html
  5. Excellent condition Beckman net. $75 see add on craiglist: http://rochester.craigslist.org/spo/4511957401.html
  6. Thanks for the info. I'll have to take a ride down there tomorrow. I was going to call but couldn't find the number.
  7. Nice report. I had the same thing happen to a rod and reel a couple years ago, planer board line caught an eye and lifted the rod out of the holder, bye bye.
  8. Last year they were manning the launch for a week or two before they had the passes so you had to pay to launch until the city got around to bring the passes to the launch. As long as I intend to buy a season pass I don't want to pay the daily rate.
  9. The city sold a season pass that was $100 and $65 senior that was good for both launches. They always seem to be to slow every year making them available.
  10. Anybody know if the city has season launch passes yet for I-bay and Genesee river? I heard they may not cover both launches?
  11. Not mounting. It's out there for some one else to catch. I usualy do all catch and release.
  12. 1st trip of the season, went 6 for 7, all browns. The last one in the boat was a 17lber. Tough to boat by myself. My biggest ever. Water temp was about 40. Worked the usual 6 to 12 ft of water.
  13. Ok, Thanks! I was hoping they were leaving it open during all this construction.
  14. Anybody know what's going on with the boat launch on the Genesee River? At a glance it seems to be all blocked off?
  15. Is that correct, the docks are in at the I-Bay launch? Real nice day you had. I was out and picked 9 browns, nothing over 6lbs but good action.
  16. Yes it's a SOT. Ocean Trident 11. About 2 ft shorter and 15lbs lighter. It's not as stable as the ride but it's ok. On one hand less stable but on the other more maneuverable and easier to get up on my Xterra.
  17. No, I've all ready replaced it with a shorter and lighter model. This one could be tough getting up on my Xterra. This isn't the best time to sell it so I may still have it in the spring. Will see?
  18. Wilderness ride 135 Sit on top kayak. This yak is 13.5 ft long and weights about 70lbs. It's very stable, can stand up in it. Includes two rod holders, paddle, and has an anchor trolley installed. $575 or BO. Greece [email protected] 585-489-1305 http://www.wildernesssystems.com/produc ... 135_angler
  19. I would recommend the SOT.The SOT are easier to get in and out of. I have a Wilderness ride 135. Its 13.5ft 32inch wide. They're about $900 new. Not sure what you can get for $500 but I wouldn't go under 11ft. If I had to do it again I'd get one about 12ft and 30+inch wide. Wider is slower of course but more stable for fishing.That being said I would go with one a little smaller for the type of fishing I do, bass fishing. Mine is big enough to hold camping equipment and whatever. I'll probably never make use of the space. Your size is a consideration. I'm 6ft 3inch 220lbs so some what limited on how small kayak I could use. If you're 150lbs you definitely can go smaller. Try this site for more info:http://members.cox.net/wkfa.org/
