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

Chris ,how about you come for a boat ride.All you have to do is sit and relax.

There were quite a few dead seagulls around Sodus Point a few weeks ago. We were joking about floating white chickens.

I use the 20 pound test flea flicker, it has fewer problems than the 30 pound line. Today at the Oak there were no fleas at all.

I have a set of fold up Riviera triple planer boards for sale. I bought them about a month and a half (June 24) ago for $190 (including shipping) and I have used them twice.They come with the original boxes. I will part with them for $80. below are some pictures Cornelis.

How about dumping a few of those babies in the Mississippi river? They will probably make short work of the Asian carp, besides, I would love to see a You-tube of some southern hicks Tiger fish noodling.

One morning on the Spoonfed I lost 3 fish in a row,so I asked captain Glen what my mistake could be. He told me that brown trout and lakers have a very soft mouth and horsing the fish in or setting the hook hard causes the mouth to tear open. Every hard jerk will make that tear larger and in the end the hole will be so big that the lip will tear open on one side or the hook slip out of the hole. The secret is in patience and steady pressure without rash movements. Kings have a hard mouth and they are much better fit for a hard fight and it is easy to recognize a king when it hits your spoon.

It is a good thing that you made it out of there in one piece. You might want to consider investing in a flare gun,that usually gets some attention.

How many fish that are dead already and were meant to go to the weigh in do you think will be thrown back in the water because the fishermen think that they must catch a bigger one?

In my physics 101 course book there is a picture of a girl standing at an overlook scaffold of the Grand canyon. The girl's long hair stood out in a perfect circle. In the comment under the picture it said that 10 minutes after the picture was taken, the scaffolding was hit by lighting and 2 visitors lost their lives

I have read somewhere that aluminum boats are less of a deadly risk compared to fiber glass boats,because aluminum is far better grounded and as such not charged differently from the lake around it. There are stories where lightning hit a fiber glass boat and it blew the through the hull transducer right out of its hole causing the boat to sink.

If you have that happen,the next thing might be a lightning flash coming your way. Interesting,but not healthy. Next time it happens,you should ground your rods out by sticking them in the water and then get off the water real fast.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): Time on Water: Weather/Temp: Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: Surface Temp: Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: Total Boated: Species Breakdown: Hot Lure: Trolling Speed: Down Speed: Boat Depth: Lure Depth: ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS We just went for a sunset fishing trip to the oak,and it was well worth it. Just slightly west of the outlet, over about 145 feet of water we stumbled upon an amazing temperature break at about 50 feet down. Every few yards the temperature and the speed at the ball would change dramatically. going up and down between 60 degrees and 48 degrees while the speed of at the ball currents went between 3.4 and 1.4 back and forth all the time. There was fish all over it and the catching was amazing. I figured that there would be brown trout around it so I dropped a brown trout lure that I picked up last week at the proam in Sodus point. The very same that caught all our big browns on the Friday pre-fishing ,but this time the kings were hitting it.6 of them in half an hour all in the 8 pound range. Then,on a glow froggy I got a laker which I was sure at first was a big king because of the way it took line out. This fish went down to the bottom where it intended to stay. It took almost half an hour to slowly winch what turned out to be a 29 pound lake trout out of the water. The lesson that Glen taught me about browns and lakers having a soft mouth came in very useful indeed. We had a blast of a sunset fishing trip and got off the water just in time before a very heavy thunder storm hit the Oak. Cornelis. ====================
