Don't over think it, I believe my 1984 PY had that same connector design, I think they used up old technology that was in their stock. At least it's easy to decipher & lots of more modern ways to remake it cheaply if you desire. -
As of April 8, 2026, Cayuga Lake is under a flood warning with water levels at 384.1 feet, exceeding the 383.5-foot flood stage. While not entirely closed, high water is causing flooding in low-lying areas like Stewart Park, and, significantly, all Onondaga County waterways are closed, with regional debris and safety hazards

Also states Seneca Lake State Park & Severne are also closed
-
As of April 8, 2026, several key access points on Seneca Lake are closed due to high water levels, debris, and structural damage. The Geneva boat launch, including access to concrete steps and sections of the lakefront path, is closed due to sinkholes. Additionally, the Severne Point Boat Launch Access Site in Himrod is closed until further notice.

I don't know either of you but love the humor!

Nothing like pics of smiling kids - they will remember it forever. -
Thank you for getting back to me. I will keep my eyes open for deals on Daiwa & Okuma - I still feel better about Daiwa! Happy New Year everybody
-
My Daiwa 47 family of reels is getting tired - 40+ years for some is amazing. What do you use / buy that has similar quality? Not looking for line counters, I have some Saltist 57's for wire, couple Okumas for leadcore, don't see the Okumas at same quality point although they have worked well - just keep an eye out for loose screws. Any ways, Daiwa, Shimano or Okuma? Thanks, Bob

We where fortunate enough to be invited to my dear friends daughters wedding this weekend. He's a lucky man to have a daughter who is such an accomplished person and who picked a great guy for her husband. If you recognize him (HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE) send him a congratulatory message! Now we can back to "They call them kings for a reason" -
When we started fishing Seneca Saturday morning and lowered the kicker it dropped - apparently the shock absorber looking assist cylinder died over the winter. Did some snooping on the web to vary little info. I pulled it off this afternoon and took it apart - the shaft has wear marks half way around at each end where the seals ride. There was only a trace of oil in it and I'm assuming it was pressurized when manufactured. There appears to be a plug driven and peened into the fill hole. Anybody else been here and had any success? Thanks, Bob

Best thing I did was convert from power cable steer to hydraulic and added the NAC-1. Does what I wanted.

Les, You have way too much time on your hands, understanding this particular fish is really quite elementary, it was left side dominant, unusual in Lake Trout but it meant he was in his right mind. Much like one of your fishing buddies it knew how to get by with the least amount of effort, the proof is in its not wasting energy trying to fight the fisherman but it didn't consider that Justin was also left side dominant and well prepared for a record fish! Seriously congratulations Jason and hope you get accurate aging and a beautiful mount of the beast! -
Les and I hit the water about 3, went west and started off Ginna in 150', worked back and forth between 100' & 150', marks but no hits. It was HOT out there but no flies and no fleas. Finally migrated out as we saw a couple boats trolling in and had a little action from 250' to 400'. Ended with a picture perfect sunset. All fish small & thrown back in. 105' rigger was the hottest, nothing at all on wire. -

Mike, I had to put one of his flies on to keep him complacent knowing he wouldn't get a hit on his whacky baits. Les neglected to mention his netting style on the larger salmon; you might refer to it as a chop or hatchet swing which sent the king sounding with my line a "c" hair away from the kicker prop then out around my rigger cable with a 6' cheater dragging behind - how all that ended up working out I'll never know! It really is bizarre how the fishing is so different every time you go out - I expected steelie hits in the mid depths but never a touch on our cheaters or the copper. We marked very little bait & very few fish all day other than lakers near the bottom. Bustersit: my wife got me the shirt and I do appreciate it. I'm hoping we can get Hop out there at some point this season - I'm looking forward to some fresh stories on Les's past to enjoy hearing about!
