  1. I believe that 8 or 9 of them signed.The rest decided to take a wait and see what's more expedient for me position
  2. From Rochester to Canandaigua is the same or even less than either Canadice or Hemlock. It is less than 30 miles.
  3. There are a bunch of special regulations,you even need a special license for fishing Hemlock and Canadice. Here is are 2 websites that gives you some more info: http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/fish_marine_ ... khemlk.pdf and : http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/25573.html
  4. If you go to Either Hemlock or Canadice,you are severely limited in the use of outboards. the power limit on those lakes is 9.9HP. This is because it is the water supply for the city of Rochester.
  5. No, the probe is at the bottom of your rigger cable and it usually has a break away piece of wire underneath that the down rigger weight is connected to.
  6. Try this: http://www.chow.com/food-news/53993/pin-bone-wizard/ Or if you are so inclined,
  7. On Stellwagen Bank when we go jigging for either cod or haddock we only use super braids. Usually with 16 ounce jigs.Even at 300 feet down, the super braids transfer even the slightest bite to your rod tip. Super braids are very thin which allows you to use a lighter jig. In my opinion they are the best line for jigging
  8. Right now he is letting lobby money doing the talking.
  9. Me thinks that Pike Hunter and me will catch a 44 pounder this Sunday Morning. So why don't you guys just come to Sutters Marine Sunday afternoon to cheer as we pull in with at least one derby winning fish!!
  10. Red line and red hooks were advertised as the next great invention.Then In-fisherman magazine ran a lot of tests with bass,using different colors of line and hooks.What they found out is that the color red,which is the first color to dissappear under water turns black after only a few feet under water.So black and not invisible as advertised.They made pictures of what it looks like under water and black hooks and line were clearly visible not only to man's eyes ,but also to fish eyes until it reaches the depth where black becomes invisible. The overall catch results were no better than regular mono and much worse than fluorocarbon. In short,red is no better than other colors and does not catch more fish.It does catch a lot of human suckers.
  11. I doubt it.The legislators are refraining from taking a stand because with the upcoming elections they do not want to be branded as anti-anything.They want to seem pro-progress and nature conserving,yet at the same time they want the lobby money coming from Kessel and his friends.So they will not take a stand against anything that might be construed as anti-anything. Remember the notice:"Politicians are like baby diapers,they need to be changed often and for the same reason"
  12. Glen, What are the 3 numbers 1 all about? Did you get another boat? I never knew that chumming works in fresh water,can you write a bit more about that? As for how do I clean. Sometimes at home with offal in a bag in the freezer until garbage day or forgotten in the freezer for a few weeks. When out in Cape Cod Bay or Stellwagen Bank.I always bring my vacuum packer and a 12 to 120 volt power inverter along in the boat.The fish is cleaned ,rinsed,vacuum packed and put in a cooler with dry ice all while still on the water. Cornelis.
  13. I have a fish hawk X4 and I like it,but when I was on the Spoonfed rig I saw his setup,I think it is a Sub troll and I must admit that it is as good as the hawk with a higher adjustment rate.I asked Glen about the wire connection and he simply told me that like everything else it needs the proper maintenance.Seeing the competition results of the Spoonfed this year,I believe that Glen made the right choice with his Sub Troll. Cornelis.
  14. Maybe you guys should try to use the stinking rich,NO screaming,job exporting,fat cat lure.Remember that it is all sugar coated with empty promises and that it is made for catching your vote and letting you rot.
  15. Lead core is usually quite thick.(the core and the braid around it).Besides 18 and 27 pound test lead core usually have the same amount of lead grain per foot.This makes the 27 pound very bulky but not very heavy. It will not sink very well. I often use 18 pound test lead core to troll live bait (mooneyes) very slowly for lake trout in the Finger lakes.

    Bad Gas?

    As always,check the cheap problems first.You have no problem starting or running at idle and low rpm.So that part of your carburetor is clean and you get enough fuel. Now unscrew the high speed fuel jet.(the one on the carburetor bowl),drain the fuel in the bowl and make sure that the jet and the bowl are clean. Now disconnect the line that goes from the pump to the carbs.Pull the plug wires and pump the ball.Fuel should stream out. If not ,you have localized your problem.Now run the starter.Fuel should come spurting out of the pump .If not, your diaphragm is bad or you have dirt in the filters.You can do all these things at home in your drive way and depending on the results of these little trouble shooter tests you can determine where your problem is located If you are on the water and it happens again,push the starter key in.This will activate the fuel enrichener.If that helps you know that your problem is not bad fuel but fuel supply. If nothing is wrong with the fuel or the fuel supply,it is time to look at the electronics. Good Luck, Cornelis
  17. A Penn 330 GTI with line counter. It does not get better.
  18. I'll take the otter boards. You can reach me at 585-733-2728. Thank you,Cornelis.
  19. The satellite is google earth. I zoomed in on my house as well and in the back yard there are 2 boats that I sold 3 years ago
  20. I spent a weekend at our cottage on Owasco Lake and did some Lake trout fishing off Ensenore point. Both days were very windy but almost every time I passed around the point I caught another laker.It must have been around 30 or 40.They were mostly around 3 to 4 pound except for one that I pulled out of 150 feet of water a bit farther from the point.That one was about 7 pounds. Owasco lake is a lot easier to deal with in 20 mph winds.the waves were very short but they were only about 1.5 footers.
  21. Are there any homeless people in your neighborhood?
  22. In today's D&C there is a front page article about Power authority not obeying a freedom of Information request by the newspaper.It seems that the Power authority is trying to get in through the back door,by denying information to the tax payers who pay their salary. Maybe the time has come to publicly question the justification of existence of the power authority.
  23. I would go for Keuka Lake. The reasons are simple.Keuka has no Lampreys and I have yet to see a weed mat. There is a very good launch in Penn Yan and the Bait store (The Beverage Baron)has plenty of mooneyes,but do ask him how to keep them alive. You can start fishing about where the College is,From there on south is all plenty deep.
