They sometimes get them in Small Boat Harbor thru the ice. The lower Niagara will have a run in April for dip-netting.

Keep us updated on ice conditions. There is no open water anywhere so I might have to resort to ice fishing??? Gulp. Any cheap flights to Florida?

If he was worried about gridlock in Albany before the statement, how the hell is he going to get anything passed now??? Idiot statement. The other day I got a nice surprise to the tune of a $1660.00 bill because the state owes the federal government for extending unemployment benefits. The state is bankrupt so business owners have to bail out the state. I didn't lay anybody off during the recession. The multi-billion dollar corporations that gave out the pink slips and then sit on a mountain of cash refusing to hire anyone should get the bill as an incentive to hire. I used to hear my elders bad mouth the state growing up and I didn't understand why.....I loved growing up here. I now understand the cause of the angst. -
I understand the context in which the statement was made, however, the answer gave a little insight into the mind of Cuomo, and as an Independent voter.....I was offended. Like he said we are a state of "moderates" and yet his statements are as far left as you can get.

Looks like some ice forming on north shore. Brrrrrrrrrr its friggin' cold out there! -
On the news 140,000 New Yorkers left the state last year......did he really say this????? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jan/19/gov-cuomo-pro-life-conservatives-have-no-place-new/

Esp. for Lakers scent matters. I typically have a gulp twister tail grub body trailing a peanut head behind cowbells. The problem with adding scent to your baits is what does it smell like the following week? Bad smells are a deterrent. One of the most powerful aphrodisiac is salmon skein.....and if you have fished with it you know the greasy stuff is very difficult to clean up. Fishing off the piers in September I will rub my spoons with skein juice. I will often dip the tail of a J-plug in the stuff also. For trolling lures and flies I place an open container of Berkley power bait putty in each lure box.

You didn't see the scum bag who stole my boca grip did you??? -
23' Trophy 1988. Still restoring her. This is a picture from a few years ago with the rub-rail off and taped as I was painting the blue stripe.

Add another boat launch lane.

Since the DEC is not going to open Caledonia to Kings any thoughts about putting more pens in along the Lewiston launch on the Niagara? If the south shore is losing out on the natural reproduction returns due to warm September and October stream temps, any thoughts about trying to "engineer" the run timing to make it later in the fall when temps are better? Perhaps selective stripping of late-run fish kept separate and used to stock south-shore streams?

Does anyone have info on Diver lateral distance?
Gill-T replied to mcny's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
To answer the question I think you are wondering about.....yes your divers are under your copper. Because the dive curves are different per line out they don't usually get together unless the driver makes a sharp turn and the inside copper drops into the diver on the same side or when deploying you don't let the copper settle a little before sending out wide on the board. -
In the end it does not matter. No REAL difference will be realized in depth of the diver over a couple of feet of line out.....unless you are trolling in 8' FOW.
-
Mag dispys with no ring set on 1 with braid on inside. Mag or regular deeper divers on outside with wire at a 3 setting. I keep the braid on the inside diver rods to add a little protection during netting to guard against a fish making a late move lateral....I would rather mono be scraping on braid rather than wire.

I will be at the R&R tackle booth. Stop by and say hello. Dave will have his famous ultra-light spoons. This year he will have you pick the blanks you want and then give you the stickers you desire to dress them up custom. See you all Sunday.

Nice Jeff, looks like some young-of-the-year birds? Need some thaws here in WNY to get the birds out of the pine trees and into the coverts. -
nice! -
DEC proposes regs to prevent the introduction of invasive species
Gill-T replied to Bigfoot's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I have been out west in Wyoming and Utah the last two years and they have similar regulations already in place......kind of a difficult regulation for the reasons others have stated. What do we do with Blue Herons or other waterfowl that can transport weeds on their feet or seeds in their feces???? -
Oak Orchard Open - June 6th-8th
Gill-T replied to Yankee Troller's topic in Tournament Talk, Shows, Events & Seminars
Boundaries would be too difficult to enforce. Given June can be a tough time at the Oak esp. with east winds that like to kick up....it would be nice to run to Niagara County or near the Genny to find good water. The marina gas pumps like the additional business of no boundaries LOL. -
Only set the hook if you want to lose fish and/or gear.
-
My 10' ugly sticks would be overkill for Finger lakes fish IMO. You may want to look at Rapala.....they make a nice long soft action copper rod that would be perfect. Hard to find but they carry them in Canada. Shimano Talora 10' 6" medium action dipsy rod might be good too (Cabelas has them).

Help with snelling hooks with fluorocarbon
Gill-T replied to vetting's topic in Tackle and Techniques
The problem is not the material, the problem is the short section of line between hooks on a tournament tie. A short section of stiff line will have no stretch. When pulled over the jaw line over the teeth.....el brake-o. I am using the old school single treble, stacked with beads + 40 lb Seaguar fluoro and have never had a break-off. The beads probably offer a level of protection on the initial strike and turn because I don't notice any wear or nicks on the leader above the hook. Hook-up ratio has not been effected. Save your fingers, money in hooks, and your sanity by going with a single treble tied with an improved cinch-knot. -
Sneaky duck, for perch try an emerald shiner tail section on a small ice fishing jig. Tingle it-pause-tingle-pause.....near bottom. Bites are barely detectable so you really need to concentrate on what you are doing.
