Just saying- as a university trained scientist this looks like goobly gook to me . I can’t make head or tail of it. 

Who is actually selling this vessel?

The Hudson has endured a lot of contamination over the years. It is also a major spawning habitat for both herring and striped bass. We should all be proactive about pollution as it affect our environment and we should also be proactive in making intelligent choices about posting negative and perhaps unscientific material as it concerns technology choices. We desperately need to make progress on climate change issues. Any of us who rely on the fisheries from Lake Erie to Long Island Sound are between a rock and a hard place . This isn’t going to change for the better by burying our head in the sand and wishing for a bygone era when the bulk of the damage was actually being done. - Tight Lines

The price is about right if it’s ok. This guy has Not answered calls or texts so..

Most people release them anyway. I did trips out of Kingston for years, rather doubt you’ll see that fishery closed

100%agree....  Whoever warrior uses to plate their spoons does an awesome job...

   I'm very excited to see how the pirate stack up against spring kings....

How are these “Pirate” spoons being marketed? I don’t see them for sale 

New ownership at NK. Supposedly they are sending me some of their new glow Mag spoons to try so we’ll see what we see

Had a 97 Islander. She was my ticket to big water adventure for many years . Loved the Islander!

Apologies- I got busy with preparation for Niagara Expo and haven’t had a chance to make an assessment of how many I’m gonna sell/keep. I will get to that on Monday. Thanks 

I’ve switched to spoon storage in the Mag caddy’s. Have 1/2 doz of the medium ( not small) pads I can part with or maybe I’ll just keep ‘em for triplicates and changeouts. Make me an offer wit yer zip n I’ll tell ya the shipping cost if it’s an interesting offer. Thanks 

I'll take #7. PM me shipping etc. Thanks

Could you make some with a Palomar or similar on rear treble?

What did you do- upgrade to Tekotas on  St. Croix rods? (LOL) See ya in an hour

I'll be going that way after fishing at Port of Rochester today but I find it hard to believe that the USCG launch is iced in . Ive fished out of there a lot of winters that were way colder than this without much trouble. If you were gonna go to Ginna  then Bear Creek is a lot closer.

Yes.

We did it Jan 2nd and it wasn't that difficult in my buddys 21 ft Bayliner.  Looked harder than it was.

Good to know Glen. Guys think they are meeting me at Port of Rochester so... Probably best to stick with someplace I've been fishing this winter anyway. Taking the outboard Crestliner to Hanks after fishing for R&R under the floor

Good luck with Bear Creek! When they redid the launch they made it almost impossible to launch there without the dock in.

Yar, it was never good before either. Tie the boat off to that iron railing and then drop down into her and then as bad or worse coming in, especially with a lil surf coming in. Come to think of it I don't think Ive ever launched out of there when there was a dock in.

Anybody with timely info please chime in . Thanks

Poster Board , and a pack of colored sharpies . 

Pretty tough for very many people to see poster boards and very cumbersome to flip through. A PowerPoint slide show is a great tool for talking to groups large and small not to mention way faster than drawing all those diagrams and then the concerns about keeping them from getting dirty or wet between different seminars/shows.

I need multiple to depict different spreads

Then copy a ‘blank’ version multiple times on numerous ‘slides’ and you can then edit each one of the slides to show the different presentations. Naturally if you have some different hardware alternatives ( 3 vs. 4 riggers, inlines vs. big boards etc) then those will need to have multiples made of each other since it’s more than just the baits or core vs copper vs mono on the reels. I used to do a lot of these sorts of things for training seminars in dairy processing but the idea is the same. If you switch the power point slides manually then you will have time to discuss variations and answer questions before going on to the next variation

That's very typical for this time of year

I was thinking similarly, but it’s unusual for ice to be completely absent 

What’s wrong with that template? Seems like it would work and it isn’t too busy or complicated.Put that on a PowerPoint slide and ‘Bob’s yer Uncle’

Hareline Glass Worm Rattles - Tackle Warehouse

Which ones do you use and which band to attach? Thanks

I have been unable to find a source for echips and rattles. I ordered some 2 1/2 inch squids from Netcraft and some 8 packs of peanut flys from Howie.
