The only thing that comes to mind is the double planers that you use.Because of the added weight they run a bit deeper and in addition they pull more than twice as hard. I have seen double boards that had the tie rope coming through small holes in the board but tied to the bolts of the planer board. http://www.glanglerforum.com/forum/show ... ifications The damage in the picture may have been because of transport bouncing.

With all due respect to your opinions,the RFA is not exactly a sports fisherman organisation.It is much more a front of commercial fishing interests which is using the terms "sports and recreational" as a front to hide behind while protecting industrial interests and destroying what is left over of our natural fishing stocks in the name of profit. If large corporations like Walmart donate money to organizations that try to save some of our fishing stocks for our children (much like the DEC does in NY) it can only be applauded. So please do not judge the gift too quickly. Destroying what is left over after all the over fishing and pollution is not smart. Trying to save it is smart. Here is something that I would like to add. California is trying a system that has proven itself in Polynesia for hundreds of years. By closing certain areas for extended time periods,the stocks there completely rebound and then they start spilling over in the surrounding areas where the stocks also rebound. In Polynesia,which is very dependent on its fishery, it was and still is one of the responsibilities of the village headman to chose which areas to open and close for fishing. This system has successfully maintained healthy stock around the islands.

try 9 to 12 feet waves

Any of you guys ever try this? http://www.onthewater.com/fishing/lake- ... ap-otw-tv/

I was there ,north and west, but a bit farther out. My boat does have a planer mast at the very tip. Were you out a bit farther and a bit more to the east? Cornelis.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name:Rolmops ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):8-26 Time on Water:8-12.30 Weather/Temp:70 degrees, clouded Wind Speed/Direction:about 12 knots out of the north-east Waves: early on about 2 footers, mid morning 3 footers,around noon down to 1 footers Surface Temp: 71 Location:north of the Genesee LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 5 Total Boated:4 Species Breakdown:lakers,kings Hot Lure: spin doctor with home made fly Trolling Speed: 2.8 Down Speed: 2.6 Boat Depth: 100 to 200 feet Lure Depth: 130 and 90,dipsies out 210 feet and 180 feet,copper out 350 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Left late this morning and started taking down temps at 6o fow. after several tries where the temperature was 71 all the way down to the bottom,things started looking up a bit in 130 feet where we found a very irregular break starting 110 down. It went between 64 and 44 with the probe at 110 down. We set up and caught a few 2 year olds and then to make my son feel better,I dropped one line down to 145 feet down and went laker hunting.Thank god for lakers.They are very dependable and we caught a very nice 15 pounder. That was it for the day. Cornelis. ====================

Yes, all the ones we caught today had lost their silvery colors and were turning reddish

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name:Rolmops ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):8/21 Time on Water:06.00-13.30 Weather/Temp:warm with intermittent rain early on later it turned almost sunny and even later a monster thunderstorm showed up Wind Speed/Direction:about 10 knots mostly from the north west Waves: between 2 and 3 early on down to less than 1 towards noon Surface Temp:72 Location:out to 500 feet nort-east of I-Bay,later at 180 feet in north east of the Genny LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 11 Total Boated:8 Species Breakdown:kings and one steelie Hot Lure: glow froggy, Spin doctor(nuclear??) with blueish flies Trolling Speed: between 2.5 and 3.4 Down Speed: roughly between 2.4 and 2.8 Boat Depth: various Lure Depth: between 95 and 70 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS We left the Bay around six in the morning and went out to 160 feet where we set up at a break line around 60 feet down which proved to hold only skippies. After this we trolled north and east out to 500 feet ,but it was just covering empty space and wasted time.We picked up our lines and set a course for the area in front of Slaters creek,but on the way there in about 200 feet the screen started to show some big fish that were on top of big bait balls so we dropped our lines there and the thermocline was pretty steady at 90 feet until we hit all sorts of currents and breaks at different depths,probably the out flow of the Genny. There the fun started. They started hitting the dipsy with the fly,the copper with a mag glow lemon ice and the glow frog. All were in the low twenty pound range and all were quite red. I think that the staging has started and from here on they will just get closer in. the steel head was a 7 pounder. Around twelve thirty by sheer luck I turned on channel 2 for some weather info and there was a severe thunder storm warning with a storm coming from the west, so that cut our day short. But they are there and they are staging. ====================

I second that. So now that it has become legal to run 3 rods,we will see how much more fishing gear will be sold to fishermen who try to run solo with 3 rods and loose a lot of gear because of bird's nests and other small disasters because they have to do too many things all at once. Oh well, now I can at least legally make a mess while trying to do too many things at once.

Those are your conclusions not mine. But I would not at all be amazed if you are right. It is a bit far reaching to claim that this 3 rod rule impacts the entire fresh water fishery of New York State.

That would be nice,but it shows that you think that this Cuomo guy from NY City actually knows about what's going on north of the Tappan Zee bridge.

Thanks,but it was not me who caught that monster. As for the shirt, whats wrong with selling red socks?

This afternoon I saw a sign advertizing ethanol free 91 octane gas at the Valero gas station on the corner of East Henrieta road and Westfall road in Rochester. Cornelis.

Last week in the Long Island Sound a striper weighing 81.88 pounds was caught.It was weighed in 12 hours after it was caught. If recognized,this striper will beat the 29 year old world record by almost 4 pounds. http://www.onthewater.com/fishing/exclu ... d-striper/

The 29 line would put you roughly 17 miles due north of Irondeqoit bay over about 530 feet of water. This is Latitude North 43-29-441/Longtitude West 77-30.769. This area also happens to be a military exercise area

Speed is the difference in velocity between objects. It is quite possible that your GPS speed and your X4 speed were quite different, yet both correct. One is relative to the ground and the other is relative to the water ,which may have its own currents. Your down speed is only correct when it is at the same depth as your lures.

Still for sale.

I know a veterinarian fisherman who says a Hail Mary and sprinkles some anisette scented holy water on every person on board before lowering the first lure in the water. He uses "Lunker Juice" on all of his lures. I don't know if it is the spiritual juice or the lunker juice, but he does quite well, although he will tell you that he is "Just Horsing Around".

I have the Blacks on one rigger and the Scotty Power grip Plus on the other. both are nice but the Scotty with the 18 or 24 inch line shows shakers a lot better. The scotty never gets twisted around the rigger cable but even if it does,the clip still works fine and your line is always well away from the rigger cable,but with the blacks it sometimes happens that your line gets twisted around the rigger cable.

I just broke a Scotty rod holder that seemed to do just fine for a dipsy diver rod. Plastic is not metal. If it is for a rod that goes to a planer board line you should be fine,if it is an inline board you should not risk the rod,reel and fish

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name:Rolmops ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):8/7 Time on Water:from 5 till 2 Weather/Temp:foggy,rainy,hot, very humid ,high seventies Wind Speed/Direction:no wind in the morning,later some wind from the north Waves: hardly any Surface Temp: 77 Location:in front of Slaters Creek LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 15 Total Boated:14 Species Breakdown:1 big brown,5 steelies, 9 kings. Hot Lure: everything worked Trolling Speed: between 2.3 and 3.5 Down Speed: between 2.4 and 2.9 Boat Depth: from 90 till 365 Lure Depth: between 25 and 60 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== I started out in the dark and set up just before sun rise in 90 feet with 50 degrees at about 55 down. Around 130 feet there was bait and I missed a skippy there but 2 minutes later I got a nice big brown. I trolled out to about 360 feet while all the time the thermocline was steady at about 55 feet down. There was a steady slow pick mostly on spoons.There were no takers for the dipsy with spin doctors and fly at 180 feet of wire.The downrigger with a glow frog kept busy ,although nothing big was caught. On the troll back to the south,it started raining .I shortened the dipsy to 100 feet and that started firing too. at 350 feet it was mostly steel head but around 120 feet there were salmon in the top 40 feet. Nothing really big though. The lessons learned while prefishing and observing definitely made a huge difference. On the troll back in,the thermocline came up to 33 foot with all the fish above the 50 degree line. Cornelis
