    Light N or NW winds pushes colder green water in close moving fish into casting range. This condition rarely occurs in spring. Any front moving in usually causes a NE wind and difficult conditions. The next best times are W, SW or S winds. If too much rain happens you can end up with coffee colored water with poor visibility. Use a webcam or call the Slippery Sinker to check local conditions.

    Rob, do you have a source for power pro tow line?

    Great looking rig!

    You can catch hordes of suspended lakers in Lake Ontario right now, but month to month my money would be on pounding dirt.

    They announced not this week but probably next week

    Good testament to the anglers of LOU that this thread went this long with so many views..........all because someone saw a dead fish. Kudos gents!

    I would be more concerned about condensation getting into the probe if you left it open for long periods of time. Open it up to equalize then close back up to store would be my anecdotal answer.

    ?? I see fishing shows in Alaska where they are using skein all the time on the tele.

    Lake guys don’t want to shut tribs down, as most of us lake guys ARE trib guys as well. The issue with the taking of eggs and leaving the carcass breaks the laws governing “wanton waste”....never mind the lack of morality of the act.

    I can’t sign off on this knot yet. Still testing

    I have had a few people contact me about R&R Tackle and some of their new products that don’t appear on the website. Dave has pictures of his kodiak wobbler spoons, newer patterns of his super-lites and his custom painted alderton dodgers which he can email to you if you contact him on his web email located at mytackle box.com. He does put pictures up on his Facebook page. Full disclosure- I have no affiliation with the company.....only trying to support our local companies.

    I believe you can get them directly from protroll.

    That smaller sized logperch is great but they don’t make it anymore. The larger size version doesn’t work nearly as well for some reason. Nice Atlantic with cool coloration.

    Double willis knot with standard leadcore. With Microlead, the sheath is braid so remove some lead and tie your favorite braid knot against your favorite mono knot.

    I emailed Mathew Saurie from Torpedo Divers and he will test the knot strength when he gets back from out-of-town first week in May.

    They should offer a Bay Ray color “boat gremlin”.

    2x’s on a backcountry mangrove trip. I did one with a friend in a kayak and light spin tackle. A blast. Just make sure you have someone show you how to get back into the boat if you roll it 😂.

    Jealous of the king. Beautiful specimen. I tried like hell on Saturday to raise one.

    My first run with this stuff ended unsuccessfully as I had a fish pull the modified albright knot connection I had installed taking my dodger/fly and 200' of wire (sorry fish, I feel bad). I love the handling of the new product. No kinking, no tangling as advertised. I don't like any of the options the owner of Torpedo products shows on his website or Youtube for connecting braid backing to wire so this morning I got out the needle and thread and I think I have come up with a smooth-strong connection knot to use with this stuff. You will need a push-pin and a sewing needle from your wife's tackle supply. Place the torpedo weighted steel on a board and push a push-pin thru the middle of the wire. Rig up the end of your braid thru a sewing needle and thread the needle into the opening of the wire created by the push-pin. Once you get the sewing needle part way thru, remove the push-pin to make it easier to push the sewing needle all the way thru and lessen the opening of the weave in the wire. Once thru, I tie a nail knot. Cinch it down real good. Makes a super clean knot that will chute thru the guides. Having the braid starting connection buried inside the wire weave should minimize the knot slipping. I will post my results this knot after test driving. http://www.101knots.com/nail-knot.html

    The boom starts getting dismantled when the ice on Erie lowers to 250 sq miles. As of April 1st there was 700 sq miles of ice. Best guess is they will start late next week.

    What a weather gift for the first week of April. Splashdown cruise today. Quality Browns and Lakers but not quantity today. Water is cold everywhere at 36 degrees. Marked nothing on fish finder. Next week it should start to pop.
