I have used 12 and 16 color leadcore on the fingerlakes. It will get you deeper ,but the water resistance will neutralize the added weight. In turns when the angle causes the core to slow down in the water it will reach great depths and cause snags on the bottom. Stinger dive bombers at the end of the leadcore where the backing begins are much more effective. Here is a little reminder about depth per color on a 10 color core. http://www.straitlineanglers.com/Articles/Leadcore_How-to.htm

There used to be a few fisherman at Russel Power Station every year who got sucked into the current and drowned. some were never found back. It could be one of them.

The sides of Owasco are skinny for bass all the way up and down ,specially on the south end. The middle is cold water fishery with trout and lakers.

I just looked at this tread again and it dawned on me that we are reacting like a bunch of grumpy old farts. Let's get some good thoughts ,happy smiles and fish in the box!!

I always try to keep the length between the dipsy and the terminal tackle about the length of the rod I use. That way I can net the fish by myself and with the rod and line on deck,there is less chance of a F---up

This last weekend we pulled 10 colors leadcore +one surface line with stickbait at a 150 foot distance one lure line with a 1 ounce dive bomb on port and 400 feet of copper with a lure line with a 2 ounce bomb on starboard. We did this with double keeled otterboats. In the end the only difference between amish and otter is the storage room they take up. We keep the otter boats in the cooler till we need them, which is usually right at the start of trolling because when fishing ,they provide a lot stabilizing action when steering is difficult because of fish or wave action.

No more combat driving in NH, They slowed down because they have even more potholes there than you can find on the southern tier. As for massholes,they are mostly from Boston. On the Turn Pike you will get fined if you move under 80mph

Just so we don't break the rules. Can a 4 man team run 12 rods or is 8 rods the max that a boat can run?

I do believe that the person selling them paid more than $104 a piece. I also believe That he is unaware of the $104 e-bay price. A PM would have been more effective and would probably have lowered the price

The early VRO pumps were variable indeed,anywhere between 1:50 to 1:100.This fried a ton of outboards. Only after 1990 when the third generation was introduced it stopped being variable and went back to 1:50. But it sounds like your problem is not connected to the pump but more to the amount of fuel reaching the carbs at a high rpm. My bet is a pinhole in your fuel line allowing air instead of fuel to get sucked into the carbs. Many marine mechanics will change lines and pump at the same time allowing you to get on the water,but at the same time allowing them to sell you a pump that you may not need.

The Oswego amateur part of the Pro-Am has changed its format in a few ways. Most important in the changes are the low entrance fee and the fact that amateurs no longer need an observer. The financial hardship and the observer logistic have been removed. This means that the tremendous potential of the Oswego Pro-Am has been unlocked and is once again available to many more weekend warrior fishermen. The amateurs have the potential to blow the Pros out of the water both in number of participants and price money. There is one problem. The rules changes are not widely known. That is where we, the weekend warriors come in. Talk about it,call your friends, leave notices at the marinas that you use.Call your local news paper and advertize in your rod and gun club! Let's all promote the new Oswego pro-am amateur tournament by word of mouth. Together,we have the strength to make this a 100 boat plus tournament. Make sure your boating friends know about this big boating event and let's make it bigger! I hope to see you all as a huge crowd overflowing the tent at the weigh-in. For more information read this thread: "oswego-proam" which was posted a few days ago in tournament talk. Below is an entree form that was posted by Tom from A-Tom-Mik Location Oswego, NY Here is a form to download and print http://freepdfhostin.../e9a6aebab0.pdf

Thank you Tom. One thing. In your original announcement you wrote that the amateur entree fee is $300, but on the registration form it says $250. Is this by mistake or did you lower the fee? Thank you, Cornelis.

Does anyone have some more info?

We were asking ourselves the question yesterday. It's getting close to the usual dates and we need to know whether or not to make lodging arrangements.

Is it the monitor or the transducer that went kaput? You may be able to find the broken part and replace it. That would be the cheapest way to go As for replacement,...there are fishfinders and there Sitex and Furuno fishfinders. For Furuno, the 620 and 627 (bigger screen than 620) or the Sitex 650 are around $ 750 including a P66 transducer if you buy them through "the hull truth" website from semper fi fishing. http://www.thehulltruth.com/marine-electronics-forum/431316-furuno-629-sea-temp-way-off.html Gill Travis,the semperfi fishing man, is a vietnam veteran ,a phantom combat pilot and a trustwotrhy business man who will go out of his way to help you get the right thing. Good luck!
