  1. Wind permitting, going to give her go on Sunday. This time of year it is nice to have other boats out for safety reasons. Olcott launch is free of ice. Anyone interested in coordinating fishing times?
  2. I would not be attaching 19 strand into a release over and over......... Braid backing.....yes. 19 strand doesn't take much to have those small strands break and start to unravel. Make sure you use 80 lb braid backing to make the knot connection to the weighted steel as 30 lb is not wide/strong enough to keep knot from slipping. I am not a fan of using long lines down the chute.....you are asking for trouble at some point.
  3. More efficient to learn how to run a dipsy off an otter boat for depths below 80โ€™
  4. No nineteen strand just braid backing. If I need additional depth, I add a torpedo diver or a keel weight to the leader.
  5. I am a weighted steel user and will not go back to copper
  6. Wow! Weโ€™re those caught on streamers?
  7. Naw. https://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/modis/modis.php?region=o&page=1&template=sub&image=a1.21056.1854.LakeOntario.143.250m.jpg
  8. I saw my first Robin today. ๐Ÿ‘Œ
  9. Good comments by both John and Iceman.

  11. Awesome. ๐Ÿ‘
  12. Great pic.
  13. I am seeing signs of spring. The first wave of Starlings have arrived. Lake Erie is not frozen and probably wonโ€™t with the change in weather coming. Olcott harbor has very little ice that is unstable. Hold onto those March start date dreams.
  14. The other answer is use two 300' coppers but put a musky torpedo at the start of the leader on in inside copper.
  15. This will end up in courts debated. Pro antler-restriction groups and snowmobile groups will be fighting it.
  16. Ya Bill, why would you post that! Buzz kill.
  17. Tinted window coup.....young male maybe 18-23 yrs of age. I am picturing the used joints in the ash tray and a bottle of that horrible Axe body spray in the center console
  18. Definitely has some dog mixed in with that one!
  19. Floundering around in an ice hole is exercise ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฅถ
  20. Small glow tungsten jig head with waxworms. They needed to be teased. Start on the bottom and slowly move the bait higher while tingling the rod. Rinse and repeat. Present super slow.
  21. My takeaway from the video was that despite the turbid water conditions, they were doing quite well with super long leaders.
  22. Try the North end of silver lake over deep water for perch.
  23. I believe that is a disease called โ€œIckโ€. Happens during stress of spawning. Brown get it a lot when spawning. Some heal fine after returning to the lake.
  24. Where are you located in the 585, same as package-Spencerport?
