Jeff,

I'm not up by Rick, I'm at the same dock as last year just a new boat. The Trophy will be there as well. The guy I sold it to is docking right next to me. He just pulled it to fish Onieda right now.

Total Chaos

Yes, I did get a new boat. It's a 2008 Baha 252gle. Needed more room with the little one and I wanted twins for safety reasons.

Fathers Day out of Mexico. It wasn't the biggest fish but Hailey didn't care. They all can't be derby winners.

Sunday was good as well. We didn't have the numbers that Capt. Rich did but we moved rods for 5hrs. Steelies, Lakers, a Brown and a small King hit the deck and we lost some others. The King came from 70ft down on the rigger but the rest were on the cores at 2, 5 and 7 colors. Also took them on dipsys out 75ft, and 100ft on 3 settings.

Total Chaos

The tires are 215x75x14 and load rated for 1870lbs. That would make it a 7000lb trailer but I know that's max so 5925. I had a 25ft Baha 252GLE on it which is actually 27 from bow pulpit to the outboards. Also Because it sits so high on the rollers the shaft might clear the support. I had a single screw inboard a while back so I have some experience with that.

Better yet,  cut a 6" x1" piece and soak it then tie it on your downrigger cable just above the weight. Works real good.

A long ways from you. Westerlo NY. It's 20 minutes west of Albany.

$500 it needs to go.

Ok, $75 shipped. Tired of them sitting around the house.

I can't believe that's even in question. The person reeling it in. The fall LOC derby winner came off my boat last year. It was the guys first trip to LO and his first fish of the day. It's proudly displayed in his living room and I went to see it the other day. Nice replica. I thought about getting one but I didn't catch it so why should I have one. I do however have the trophy because he wanted me to have it. I also have a nice framed picture of us with the check and trophy and of him holding the fish.

I have 2 new Cannon low profile swivel bases for sale. They came with downriggers I just bought and I had Traxstech swivels on the boat already. They've never been mounted. They are the 16 position bases. $125 shipped to your door 2nd day Priority.

I've been using eagle claw dipsey rods with twili tips for the past 15 yrs and I'm still using the first one I ever bought. Save yourself the money. I think I have about $50 in each of the 4 rods I use.

I have a 2002 Venture Torsion axle trailer for a 23-25ft boat for sale. It has rollers (some will need to be replaced) it's galvanized with no rust, the rubber is good, it has brakes on 1 axle but the brake line got ripped out (I have a new in the package replacement line) takes a 2 inch ball. The trailer is in good condition. It came with a boat I bought but it was underrated for it. All the info on the tag is faded and can't be read. Best as I can tell it was rated for 5925 according to the Venture website. Asking $800. pm if interested.

Price gouging at it's finest. Plenty of other lures for a lot less will catch fish. Try these: bayratlures.com

You didn't reply to mine. I sent it at 4:11 pm and you read it at 6:29 and 10:19pm. Thanks

Here's one, took a friend out for the first time during the fall LOC and he caught the winning King 36.8lbs.

Anyone running a fish finder that uses chirp technology? I wan't to get either the Raymarine Dragonfly or the Garmin Echo 551 DV but I'm concerned there will be interference with the Fishhawk. I did email Fishhawk and he didn't seem to think there would be a problem but the frequencies are real close.

Total Chaos

Mine would be the 500ft copper. I asked this same question years ago and that was the recommendation to me. The 500 gets down over 100ft for the deep summer kings. However you can let out shorter lengths if the fish are up higher. Mark the line every 100ft for this application. This was my first copper setup I had and it's my most used every year. I have every section from 50ft to 600 ft and the 500 gets the most use. It's also the one I used to win the fall LOC derby last year.

Look on ebay. I saw someone was selling 2 new for $49 for the pair with many available. Here's the link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261388107243?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_2809wt_1360

How soon do you need it? As soon as I put my boat in the water in April I'll have a decent Venture galvanized roller trailer for $800. PM if you're interested.

What an amazing thing to come across. I saw a 6 pointer out in Mexico Bay once but he wasn't trying to get on anyones boat that's for sure.

Total Chaos

I run 15lb sharks. one is black and the other is chrome which I painted black. The chrome has it's moments but sometimes I think it turns fish away and black always works. One thing I do see is as the black wears off and the chrome shows thru it actually looks good. The best of both worlds I guess.

Total Chaos

I run them all the time with flasher/fly and it works just fine. I run the Spin Doctors as close as 6ft with good results. Don't hesitate to buy them they work well.
