Flashers pulling spoons?
rolmops replied to BALLS DEEP's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I often use small red or yellow jensen dodgers with super slim dreamweavers for coho and steelhead. Browns seem to be attracted by frog dodgers with frog lures -
Just to make sure that there is a fuel issue,does the engine rev up a bit just before it shuts off? Also, do you have to prime the engine after it shuts off or can you just restart it? And last is the running time the same after the first time it shuts off or does it get shorter? Is there water in your fuel tank/seperator or carburetor bowl?

Your fuel pump creates a vacuum or at least a reduced pressure environment within the fuel lines. No matter which engine you use, the vacuum fuel pump creates under pressure in both lines There may be a small leak in one of your fuel lines, which causes it to suck air into the line,thereby effectively reducing the fuel intake, because it takes less energy to suck air then it takes to suck fuel. When you use the ball in the fuel line, you fill the carburetor bowl to the top,but if there is a small leak that sucks air, the bowl will slowly empty out and after a minute or so dependent on the size of the air leak your engine will stop. Then when you use the ball ,you will start the entire process again. My advice would be to check all your hoses and to install a 3 way valve in your fuel line or have 2 independent hookups to your fuel supply. That way you reduce your risk of air sucking in your system from across the other engine fuel supply. Good luck.

This question has been on my mind for a while . What happens when during a Pro-am contest one catches a potential LOC Derby winner? Are the Pro-am scales officially recognized or do we have to run to have it weighed in at a different place? What happens if the obsever on the boat (who is in no way allowed to do any fishing) does not have a LOC derby ticket? LOC rules state that all crew members must be signed up. Does this automaticly disqualify the fish or do the rules allow the fish to be entered? Cornelis.

Thanks for doing what we all should do!

By using flat stock with wing nuts you will have a hard time raising the kicker and the wing nuts will vibrate themselves loose. This is the one place where a Stearns motor link steering with ball jointed connectors is the best way to go. the ball joints will allow you to raise and lower the kicker without forcing and/or bending the bar. You can bend and shorten the bar and fit it to your needs. I got one a few years ago at Gander mountain for $25 ,they will probably be around $30 now

That sounds like you had a swarm with a new queen looking for a new home -
If I take them,The guts go in the freezer until garbage pickup day. Then they go in the garbage can. Most of the time though,the fish are gutted a few miles off shore and the guts go in the drink.

Oswego7/5
rolmops replied to eric cooper's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Two years ago I saw an interesting solution for running copper out of the chute. On "Just horsin Around" they let 4 or 5 hundred feet of copper out and just before the backing they put a BIG bobber. Then they let it out another 50 feet and dragged it along with the copper rod up in the rack . When there was a big hit and the copper might be in the way they let out another 200 feet of backing. The backing stayed above the surface out to the bobber and the copper was out of the way. Now that we have double keeled otter boats,we no longer use this bobber thing. The copper goes off to the side. -

Looking for a charter Point Breeze/Rochester area
rolmops replied to dabills's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Crazy Yankee Sportfishing That area is his sand box and he plays in it all the time. When you go out with him, you will not only have a great time,he is also good at explaining what he does and why it works! -
The impeller must be lubricated with a bit of dish soap and while the housing is slid over the impeller into place the driveshaft must be turned clockwise to insure that the fins are in the right direction and nothing binds inside the housing.

It was time again for my once a year trip with my brother in law from Mass. We left the river around 05.30 and headed north. Over 100 feet we started marking bait ,but hunting for salmon we moved out to 150 feet and set up with an empty screen. There was some sort of thermocline setting up around 45 feet of water where the temps dropped from 56 to 43.5 within 3 feet and a 56 degree surface temp. We trolled due north with one dipsy on a 2 setting with 320 foot out with spin doctor and fly and the other with a greasy chicken lure ( a big chicken wing) 135 foot out. One rigger out at 70 and the other at 40 and one 8 color and a 6 color core on the riggers.Going out to 175 feet ,the deep dipsey got hit and we had a screamer on. I gave it to my brother in law and made sure to set the clutch a bit looser than I normally would (for added spectacular effect) After 20 minutes we had a nice 22 pound salmon and an utterly happy B. I.L. on the boat. We trolled farther north picking up a few juvenile kings. When we came to 325 FOW I saw this beautiful scum line with steelies sucking bugs on the surface. I can only assume that it was the extension of the Niagara river. Anyway from here on we criss crossed the scum and raised the riggers to 40 and 25. There we caught and released about 25 steelies within 3 hours. Most were in the 6,7 pound range but a few were in the low teens. While this was happening,the deep disey fired once more but after a short fight that one came off. One time one of the riggers fired but the release was still on a salmon setting so the line stayed stuck in the release and we lost that steelie. The hot lures were chicken wings and glow froggies both dream weaver SS. All in all a great day. Specially because ,although it was very foggy in the morning,the thunder storms passed us at a good distance both east and west,while we stayed dry, give or take a sprinkle or two. We talked to Shake and Bake a few times and gave him what information we had and they too did very well. Cornelis.
