    John Mann in Sodus did the Canvas about 9 years ago. It stays up on the boat all the time- I pretty much just use it in the fall/winter/early spring

    Launched at Hughes around 8:00 am and steamed to Bear creek area found some high 39 water and it was game on. Stupid fishing really; 2 man limmy in 30-40 minutes, mostly cookies but a few bigger fish mixed in. The SW wind was working more westerly and the AP struggled with the my small winter boat going into it. Threw a pile of browns back and then called it long before getting real near the plant. Ran 3 different stix in the real skinny water and all but blk/silver took fish with goby pattern ahead of orange by a significant margin- and it was the only stick to take fish on the outside. Great to be back on Ontario n hoping for decent conditions for Friday.

    Much appreciated Sir!

    I'd like to consider options for hitting the water in front of the Plant. In the past I've run from the Coastguard launch at Sodus but it is a bit of a cruise.

    A 40" Hudson cow Striper is not really an 'eater' so not really a big deal that way being as how a duplicate mount is the way to go anyway.

    I don't use mono, snubbers or braid and I don't take the divers or the leader off either- waste of time. Use a Velcro strap around the diver release lever and around the reel seat to hold diver in place. Next wind the diver leader around the reel. Hook a hair zingie to the leader swivel and secure leader by attaching hair zingie around the line counter or reel handle. Eazee peezee. This keeps tension on the line and eliminates kinks etc.

    Thanks, I'll run it by 'The bearded one'.

    This one has also made up to the top of 2 different reviews I've looked at.

    Seeking recommendations from anybody who has had an excellent experience with a particular wash down pump system brand. Thanks

    Agreed, $12.00 for a flutter spoon?

    It's a fish- it's brain is tiny. Don't try and talk to it-let it talk to you, and then do what it likes whether it makes sense or not. Remember: Q.What the hell does a meat rig with teasers look like? Ans. Doesn't matter.

    Good stuff!

    I really don't think you are going to have an issue with a manual planer reel clutch , especially with shockers. Like I said I have run the Aurora's (which are bigger than Frank's boards) on some old Canon manual reels with no significant problems at all- but suit yourself.

    I usually run wire mag dipsys inside and braid slide divers outside. if I'm gonna run 2 wire divers/side then I run mags inside and reg size divers on 2.5 for outsides

    Cisco makes the heaviest duty planer reels I've seen but to be honest with you I haven't had any real problems with my Amish or Aurora boards on any of my planer reels. I've run these boards on Cisco, Canon, and Big jon manuals and electrics, biggest thing as I mentioned elsewhere is that you need to turn into the board you are retrieving when using the electrics or the breakers are going to trip on you. Also - I do run shockers on the boards when it's rough.

    If you want more action then shorten the fly leader- that makes it snappier. A long leader gives the fly a lazy feel. IMHO both have their days

    Ignorance is bliss: I just sort of assumed that for Slide diver lite bites it was 3:1 @ 3.0 with super braid and spoons so that's what I base my attempts to catch fish on but is it just me or don't we all really let the fish tell us what the 'right' place is to run the baits. In my experience the exact right place isn't always where you're marking fish or bait.

    I couldn't figure that out either but all you have to do is mouth the words " 2nd amendment" and somebody, somewhere is going to go postal.

    Talking about 'losing the right to protect family' is really kinda disingenuous isn't it. I mean seriously, let's not turn this into some kind of last of the Mohegans scenario. Frankly, I don't trust Joe blow's ability to maintain sight picture,fire control, and their family's safety at the same time anyway.

    I have absolutely no problem with cutting off his access to firearms for a premediated felony He should of thought about those consequences before he committed the crime.
