Everyone here is absolutely right. Look what has happened to Henderson Harbor. Perch are almost nonexistent there, yet 4-5 years ago, coolers were filled every day.  There is still NO LIMIT on perch  in Jefferson County, and a NYS DEC Officer told us that that is because there are still 3 commercial gill net captains still licensed in that County. Ridiculous.

I remember back in the late 80's . At Mexico point launch , waiting in a line about 2 miles back before the launch . This was early in the morning .

It sure was great back then, I still have an ESLO embroidered Patch ( that you used to get with entry fee)  That says:  " FISHIN'S GREAT IN 88", yes, we remember the lines all the way back to LiL Bonnies Salmon Inn !!!!!

I believe the Salmon River limits are designated buoys between the breakwalls.........which is violated almost nightly when the run starts.

NYSDEC is going to have to study an eradication method, seems they will overpopulate all our fisheries very soon...............

is there a boat launch on Blind Sodus ??

DITTO, same at Mexico Bay Last week, no bait, no fish, 2 gobies took jig/minnow

We started with the snagging in 1975, I believe ?  That was the only way we knew of at the time, to catch them. Then we discovered the will readily wack cleos  ,especially at night, when the run came in ( although many said it was impossible to make a King strike a bait) we had a ball once we gained some knowledge. It's been a good many years now, and were still having fun. Tight Lines to all. 

Stats say there have been more deer taken in the past 75 years with .30-.30 's than any other calibers combined. It and the .35 Rem were the guns of choice from the 40's thru the 60's when the "newer calibers" were marketed.  I love my .30-.30 's so much I have just added a Thompson Center Contender Handgun,  14" factory ported barrel , and an aim point lighted dot scope, extremely accurate, and loads of fun !!!  Makes deer hunting a real challenge. Especially with the new Hornady ballistic tip 180 grain loads !

Shawn, I have 2 Big Jon,  manual, 4' boom , Captains Pak downriggers, W@ith Swivel Bases, and Big Jon "free and Easy" releaseBig Jon rod holder attached to each down rigger.. Cable on each is OK, No weights.Good Very usable condition, I just bought electric Big Jons, and dont need these.  Located at Port Ontario, NY (Pulaski, NY)  $225.00 Jack 607-321-5624

I had mine on a 4x4 inch piece of aluminum, with a 1/2" aluminum electric conduit welded to it, and then threaded a pair of Big Jon 12" arms with pulleys, Bolted to the hardtop (or weld to the rocket launchers), and each side of the hardtop,  had a clamp on Big Jon  reel, worked great as it was 6' above the deck. 

Has anyone had experience with the 4' Fiberglass arms  on the older Big Jon Captains pak 4' downriggers, Are the arms as strong as aluminum ? I'm intending on using them on a 16' side console, probably use the mostly for walleye, and shallow inshore salmon ( 60 feet or less), I do have 6 Lb, as well as 8Lb weights, Thanks

thanks for the replies, hope to get on the water soon, as I'm having carpel tunnel surgery this week, cant feel any thing in left fingers, really tough to tie knots, etc.... sucks this time of year, (but I did postpone it from Deer Season)

Thanks for the responses !!!   Do all of you use the locking star handle "bolt" , or have you replaced them with a hex head bolt to tighten a little more securely ?

I used a clamp on aluminum mount, (Bass Pro) that clamps on the transom, worked real well.

They lock on real tight, I just have not taken it out on the water, will see if they stay tight or if vibration will effect them, nice product fits under the edge like they were made for a Crestliner.

Any opinions on T&L Eagle Feet , aluminum gunwale mounts. Nice product, I just mounted a set on my 16' Crestliner Canadian, side console.  My concern is stability, and strength, Any used these ???

Just what I'm looking for !!!!!   I'll call you Tuesday (4-14-15) Morning, for more info, and where I can pick them up....Jack

Great memories...............I took my daughter deer huntin when she was 8 years old, of course she got bored, and started to build 4 or 5 small snowmen in our ground blind, ......she is now 32 years old, and I still give her some type of snow man for Christmas, salt shakers, ornaments, etc........we'll never forget her fist deer hunt.......cherish those memories !!

Try Gander mountain , they have laminated maps of the Eastern Lake Ontario , that include Henderson, etc.......Jack
