I fished for trout and land locked in the Finger Lakes at night and it can be very succesful.The secret is in realizing that at night the entire food cycle happens a lot higher up in the column and not neccesarily in the ideal temperature range. The micro organisms feed on or near the surface at night and bait fish follows them up,which in turn will bring the kings close to the surface. It should be noted that around the times when the light changes is usually the ideal time to fish

On the west coast they are a bit more common although still very rare.Scientists are very keen to recreate this co-nook because, like other hybrids,they probably are sterile.If they can be mass produced in hatcheries and released.They will provide a good food source,but being sterile they do not endanger the genetic make up of the wild strains of salmon. It would be like Tiger muskies,half pike half muskie but sterile. So far science has not succeeded.

There probably is nothing to worry about. Impellers in fresh water tend to last for a long time and there should be nothing wrong with a 2009 one.I presume that you are talking about the peehole which shows you that cooling water is running up to the engine. Just take a piece of very flexible wire and shove it into the hole with the hose hooked up.jerk it back and forth a few times.Now start the engine and see if there is any improvement. If there is a cooling problem,there are 2 ways to detect it.First the overheat alarm on your remote control will go off,but if you do not trust that ,then take off the cowling and while running the engine in the water put your hand on the engine.If it burns your hand,there is a problem,but if it is possible to hold your hand on there for a while,say 30 seconds,then your system is in good shape

I somehow feel that you would have misused a bottle of Golden Molson by smashing it over the intruders head.

There are a lot of Ugly Fishing Oldies on the water.

Congratulations,may your next one be bigger!

I did some homework on the why and how of this break off and a more experienced fisherman would have prevented this from ever happening. My mistake was having the leadcore in the clip.The clip probably caused the lead wire to break and the ends must have rubbed the braid housing thereby damaging it.The break off was at the point where it had been in the clip.The fish was dragging about 300 feet of line + dodger and lure and was still fighting and trying to throw the hook on the surface when it was netted. From here on I will put a few feet of 50 or 80 pound dacron braid between the leadcore and the super braid backing.From now on the clip will go on the dacron which is thick enough to hold well in the clip while super braid is too thin and just slips out.

There was only one ticket on board.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name:Rolmops ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):8-25-10 Time on Water:2.00pm-5.30 pm Weather/Temp:pleasant 70s Wind Speed/Direction:none Waves: none Surface Temp: 60/62 Location: Due North of Oak Orchard on the 29/30 line LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 3 Total Boated:2 Species Breakdown:Steelhead Hot Lure: Yellow coho dodger with orange dream weaver ss with green herring bone Trolling Speed: 2.2/2.5 Down Speed: 1.9/2.8 Boat Depth: 560 FOW Lure Depth:40/60 We ran out from Rochester and launched at Captains Cove. Next time we will launch closer to the outlet.Once on the lake we went straight to the 29 line using the twitter info,but once there, the screen showed an eerie emptiness.We found 42/43 degree water about 65 foot down and parked a wonder bread spindoctor with a green fly down there and a Mag NBK on the other rigger at 50. the copper went out 400 feet with a green spindoctor pulling a kevorkian and the planer board went out with 10 colors leadcore pulling a yellow coho flasher and the orange dream weaver. There was silence until around 4.15 pm.Then we went on the north-west troll we had our first hit on the leadcore but we were late due to sleepiness in the sun and we lost it.We started making more north west and south east trolls and a little bit later on the north west troll we had another hit which yielded a nice 5 pound steely again on the leadcore. Then the real one came by,north west again.It hit the leadcore like a steam train and almost instantly broke the surface while jumping and shaking. It broke the line,but just kept on trashing on the surface.So we turned the boat, hurried back and netted it.On the scale it made slightly under 16 pounds,which is nice for a steel head In short we can now truly tell the story about the one that got away but we caught it anyway.Tomorrow it will join us for dinner.

It should work fine,just remember that you have no stretch so you have to set your drag accordingly. Spiny water fleas love power pro.

I used it for a while-250 pound test-the material is good and it causes less blowback than wire because it is very thin,but it is so thin that sometimes it binds up on the reel. My problem with it is fear of having it cut by a wire line or a copper line that accidently rubs it for a while. (lures are a lot cheaper than down rigger weights or probes).

From Rochester to Canandaigua is the same or even less than either Canadice or Hemlock. It is less than 30 miles.

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

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.

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.

Yes there is.

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

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!!

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.

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.
