Good green water out deep with a lots'o steelhead where you stated. The Kings are still spotty. The inside waters are still stagnant, stained ......crap. Short leadcore segments killed them today. I want my spoon back big giant jumping steelhead!!!!!!!!! As an indication of how screwed up the inside waters are, we caught a laker over 380 fow on a 6 color.

For the cost....the Shimano Charter specials are hard to beat.

Ray, I keep seeing this pink theme....pink shirts, pink bed skirts, pink towel lent to Rod. For what is worth (not much), I put eyes stickers on every spoon I own. Esp. the mag 3/8" eyes. I saw some underwater footage using the walkervision of a steelhead pulling along side a lure, turning it's head to look at it and then nail it. Since then I look at every part of the lure as important esp. the swivel and the hook.

Any black streak remover on the magic eraser will remove most stains. The problem is usually dirt getting embedded in the wax. Black streak remover removes the wax from the wash and wax products we typically use on fiberglass.

Still need an observer for the Orleans event.......come on Rochester and Batavia fishermen.....I would like to hear from you. Good way to learn.

I hope that is not your game room!

Thanks Ray and others. Pretty bed skirt too!

Still looking so if interested please PM me. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I had an old timer show me once on Canandaigua his hand-line technique. He used a dacron mainline and had leaders spaced 7' apart. I guess there are lots of variations of a common theme. I am still looking for a good picture of a handline or "seth green" rig....esp. one being used on the water to be used in an article I am submitting to GLA. PM me if you have a good photo. Thanks.

I am trying to find the most accurate information on these two tactics. I am getting conflicting stories. I imagine what some people call a Seth Green rig has evolved over the years hence the discrepancy. I thought the original Seth Green rig was just a method....an organizer of boxes to keep all the rigging separate as you deploy and retrieve the leaders. Later some people fashioned a winding system with a Victrola record recorder? I had someone recount how a occilating system tied into the oars of the boat, raised and lowered the rigs with each oar-stroke. I talked to another fisherman and he stated the "Seth Green rig" is run off a meat stick-heavy rod and reel. Could someone chime in and set the record straight for me. Thanks.

That east wind must have been blowing 'cuz Richard's gotee was going from left to right. Nice Browns boys.

PLENTY of hooks to fish over from Weller to 4-mile! As Vince said, lots of bait. My take was the east wind or lack there of was not moving the water around. Completely stagnant. Low oxygen meant lethargic fish that were well fed. Did not see any streaking, just hooks stationary. Even in the smelt schools on the bottom, there were hooks just sitting on top of them. It is no coincidence that the winning team was fishing in the oxygen rich waters in front of the green can. Congrats to the winners....ballzy move to fish there. Congrats to Kevin on a great event and tablefare!!! To those wanting to fish the coming weekends.....wait for some West winds and WATCH OUT, the fishing should be great. Nobody took fish in the ESLO or this tournament so there are a lot of fish in the system. Special thanks to Lake O for giving me the first skunk of the year

72 views.....anyone? Start times?.....anyone?.......Bueller?

Did not see a start time for Friday's event. I assume you can leave the dock at any time?

I did not notice any difference. Generally, I am trying to lighten my flies for a better whip/action. Now, I dip the trebles in Smelly Jelly.

Run mag dipsys. The steeper dive curve will keep the two from getting together.

Take the gulp off after using it. I tried gulp sections on trebles but was dissapointed to see the stuff melts plastic when it comes in contact. Some of my Capt. John King flashers have some holes in them

Looking for interested observers for the Niagara Pro/am --Captain's meeting is Friday June 3th at 6:00pm, then both tournament days Saturday June 4th, and Sunday June 5th. Also looking for the Orleans Pro/Am the following weekend--Captain's meeting is Friday June 10th, Sat. 11th, Sun. 12th. PM me if interested.

Woody, I prefer the jig/minnow because it means light spin tackle. Sometimes you have to put a stinger hook on to catch nippers. Check lines often as zebra shells will fray your line. The fight these lakers put up in the oxygen rich water of the Niagara flow is a whole different fish than the boots you drag up with trolling gear.

White or blue-glow opti-dodgers with an A-tom-ik "white halo fly". Usually use Big Weenie Blue-glow beads underneath her skirt and some scent on the hooks. Any double crush or oil slick glow Spin Doctor but prefer a white paddle. Behind cowbells... a Chartreuse peanut head with a Chartreuse gulp twister-tail grub.

Start in front of the green can and drift. If you have an electric bow mount ....even better. Try to stay over your bait verticle to avoid snaggs. Jig with minnow, or three-way rig with a small spinner blade with worm harness floating bodies with a minnow, or three-way rig with a kwickfish. The tailout near the green can is like a tailout of a stream. As you move closer to the can, the bottom will come up quick! Raise your baits as you come up onto the bar 12-13'....continue the drift a little longer past the can, and then pull lines and do it again.

Freezer fillets! Beautifull meat. The fillets were gorgeous. Different pinbone configuration. I think we will be catching bigger ones. The day I caught this fish off the mouth of Keg Creek, someone else caught a 21 lber out of the same area. I see Vince caught a 17 lber. We have not seen how big these things will get just yet.

Yes, that is it. I think some indivigual bought every known T-connector on the market to sell them at high prices because everyone is out of stock. Are you able to sell it to me?

I sheared the pins off when I took apart the T-connector for my Lowrance fishfinder. Can't find a replacement anywhere . Does anybody have this part on an older model Lowrance that they would like to sell? Help a guy out would ya? Thanks.
