  1. Great. Not a fan of plastic in appearance or durability. I run braid for rigger cable so the low profile spool probably will not be an issue. Thanks for the feedback!
  2. I am looking at these riggers myself and with the automation it would appear over time the cost has come down. For those with these riggers on this thread, you are three years in….how have these units performed over time?
  3. As far as I am concerned we can use this thread for review of all forms of legislative changes within government that affect our outdoor pursuits. There are forces from the smallest town boards all the way to the federal government that make decisions that could negatively impact our way of life as we know it. These decisions made by people in power are usually driven by greed and require our oversight. Party lines matter not.
  4. Come on guys keep the bobsled in the lane of what the original thread was about -Government oversight and decisions that affect outdoor activities/ access.
  5. Well craap, that throws out 90% of the conversations on this site. Everyone knows fishermen tell stories and live by anecdotal evidence.
  6. Ya, if you have to explain your jokes usually they don’t have the desired effect. Your dropping a loaf after a morning coffee has more resonance
  7. Turn it down a notch Woody or another thread gets shut down.
  8. I took one for the team today and completed a little drive to highlight how far away spring is and to hopefully dissuade anyone from booking a river charter before March. Pics are of lower Niagara (Lewiston/Youngstown)which is starting to lock up with ice and Wilson. Shore ice along entire Niagara County out to about 50’ fow.

    With the amount of items he should have a garage sale. Post it here.
  10. I would like to see a graph charting amount of open water/boat ramps on the y axis vs the amount of discussion about the cost of a loaf of bread on the x axis. Pretty sure there is an inverse relationship.
  11. Hey Mark, is there a ticket that needs to be purchased in order to attend? Thanks.
  12. Good dive into the world of oil with show Land Man. Recommend watching.
  13. I am all for placing solar on useless land such as landfills. I hate losing prime farmland for solar units. Nobody will be hunting around solar farms either.
  14. From a friend out on IBay.
  15. I drove by the windmills off Buffalo today. Half were not working
  16. Thank you sir. That is a start.
  17. Looks like it’s going to be a long wait until spring. Let’s hear some reports!
  18. For those going to the show, check the vendor list to see if there is something you were considering buying in 2026. Vendors often will offer show discounts plus the benefit of no shipping costs. For example, I am probably going to equip my Penn Yan with Cisco rod holders. I can order directly from Cisco and take delivery at the show.
  19. Stocking of kings has always been tied to the alewife survey and the management strategy objective of having a trophy fishery
  20. Could pesticides cause two year old salmon to spawn early or Lake Trout die before they reach 40 lbs like they can in glacial shield lakes in Canada? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/15/pesticides-shorten-fish-lifespan-study
  21. 3M makes a double sided tape you find in most office supply stores or online
  22. Holy crap nice buck! Congrats to the young man. My goals today were less lofty.
  23. I would think there is VERY little fish input coming from the Atlantic as the amount of locks required to navigate above the falls seems daunting.
