  1. I always thought thar the break away cable is there in case the rigger gets caught on something (ground,rocks,tree) and the break away cable will snap instead of the main cable.It is specially designed to save your probe in case of a hangup. I make my own with 60 pound test steel leader and so far I was lucky enough not to have them tested.
  2. na..that would make it way too simple Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  3. Now wait a minute. You can have the collage girl ,I'll take the college girl..
  4. Are you saying that this kicker is 650 but with the boat together only $300? What about the trailer? if we throw in the trailer will it go down to $200? :yes:
  5. Fish live in their own environment, in this case a mass of water that moves in a certain direction and the fish move right along with it as part of that water mass. They can freely move in any direction,but always relative to the speed of their water mass. Much like you and I can go anywhere on this planet and yet we move at 15000 miles per hour because our environment does. (relative to the sun). If we want to troll effectively we must make our lures move with a certain speed relative to the water mass below us and we can go in any direction that we please as long as we bear in mind to move right along with the fish carrying water mass that we target. If the current is to the west we can troll north west by compass,but our lure inside the water mass will be moving at 90 degrees of the movement of that water mass. Therefore,it does not matter which direction we troll relative to the current below us as long as our down speed is the one we go by.
  6. It may even go farther. By netting the lamprey in these select few streams before they spawn, the population can be brought even farther down. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  7. There are big changes about to happen in the fight against lampreys. Google "dead lamprey scent" and read how it already used in the treatment. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  8. My favorite way to prepare small lakers is poaching in aluminum foil. Clean the fish but do not filet it. Drizzle some olive oil on aluminum foil and lay the laker on it. Stuff it with some sliced onion and a bit of garlick. Now take some dill, lemon and butter sauce (McCormick) and pour inside. Pour more of the sauce on top and sprinkle some grated cheese (parmagan). Now lay some slices of lemon and some parsley on top. Fold up foil and lay the package on the grill. Let it steam inside the foil for 4 or 5 minutes and serve with white wine. I like to pour some wine on the fish so it poaches in the wine as well. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  9. The EPA released a statement today stating that the use of corn for ethanol production costs more fuel than it produces. Interesting that they remember that little well known fact now that the fuel prices have come down. The oil industry is starting to target ethanol.
  10. I second pro builders. They do very good work and do not rip you off. The difference between a marine starter and an automotive starter is crucial for your safety. On a car, a car starter or for that matter any electronic part is in an open environment. If gasoline drips out,it falls on the ground in case of a leak. In a boat, the leaking fuel goes in the bilge and causes gases to accumulate under the deck. (Hence the blower). An automotive starter may give off a spark and your boat will go up.... You cannot stop the boat in the middle of the lake and step out like you would with a car on the road. That is why all the electronic stuff on a boat must be double insulated.

  11. It is possible to do a good rebuild for about $125.
  12. Are these original or have you added lead?
  13. Thanks. That is what I normally do
  14. I've tried monel single strand 50# test in both fresh and salt water. I had to use carboloid guides because of the higher abrasiveness of the material. With 7 stranded or 19 stranded wire you can see a single strand going bad and replace it . this saves your terminal tackle. The monel single strand tends to break off without warning and you will loose all hardware. If you want to change to wire line ,it may be better to go to a multi strand stainless.
  15. What happens to these wooden boats when they are taken out of the water in fall? Does the wood dry and warp or shrink?
  16. There is more than one way to stop a subsidy, but when changes in the market make a subsidised material obsolete,that will always be the most effective . This is an example of such a market and soon enough some politician will claim this to be his achievement and the subsidy will die a natural death
  17. Can you say Garmin? A simple 182 with or without a lake ontario map if it is for speed. It comes in black and white or in color. These GPS units out of production but you can still get them on E-Bay.
  18. At least the 3 liter mercruisers are just basic GM blocks. So why use a high grade fuel? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  19. In Henrietta I paid $3.05 on 5/30. Ethanol free 87 has always been available in Pittsford just past the railroad tracks. I think it is becoming more available because, now that fuel prices have come down, it is cheaper without the ethanol in spite of ethanol subsidies. Maybe for once the farm lobby is losing its subsidy battle.
  20. Good job, in spite of it being a bit sloppy out there. How big a rig are you fishing on?
  21. Went over to the fast track station to get ethanol free gas and expected to have to buy premium when to my surprise, there was a sign saying :" New, 87 0ctane ethanol free gas" this might be the beginning of the end of ethanol laced gas. Cornelis.
  22. Left the launch at 6pm and went north and east to about a hundred feet and started setting up. We started out with with dreamweaver ss nbk lures on the riggers at 40 and 50 down which did a nice job on the steelhead. We tried the dipseys with spin doctors and flies using every color combination in the book to no avail. We gave up on flies and changed to lures ,first black and white and later green. the dipsies were out at 160 feet and 185 . They both started catching lakers. All in all 7 steelies and 5 lakers. the lakers were all between 10 and 15 pounds. This time around,we did not use the net even once. We brought the fish alongside the boat put a jaw clamp on, unhooked and released without the fish ever leaving the water. they all swam away.Non of the lakers had lamprey scars. All in all a nice day.
  23. thank you so much for ignoring Owas co lake. My cottage is right there and I love fishing this lake.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
