    Lake Erie ice cover

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    Presently over ninety per cent of the Eastern Basin is ice covered. Normally we would have thirty eight per cent coverage. Add a couple weeks for planning a trip to the Niagara Bar this spring.

    That's  not going to bode to well for the perch fishing. It sucks for this recent retiree :(

    That's where I bought my boat won't buy another thing there. Truly the worst experience ever there multiple times.

    Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I've bought 3 boats from them in the last 8 years and have been happy every time.

    Thanks for all the replies and pictures I have to see if anyone carries them in the area. I don't mind ordering online but I feel like I'd be more comfortable seeing it in hand without shipping it back if needed.

    Spear Fishing

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    Random cold weather slump thought........... 

     

    I know lots of folks play around with spear fishing in Florida. 

     

    Not that there would be a big market or season.  Why is it against the rules in NY?

     

    Everything is against the rules in New York...That is why living in Florida is so relaxing!!!!

     

    This should be the New York state motto;

     

    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

    Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind

    Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

    Wiring New Downriggers

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    Nice clean wiring setup. I've been looking at some type of a "plug and unplug" setup like that for my boat since it doubles as a pleasure craft.

     

    What kind of plugs did you use on the male and female ends and do you like how they worked out?

     

    Check out Marinco.com. I used their ConnectPro plugs for my Big Jons. Works out great when it comes time to take the riggers off the boat.

    Fishing in Florida

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Try BigMikesForum.com. He reports on the Skyway piers which are not too far from Venice. Also FloridaSportsman.com. Lots of info from around the state. I live in Jacksonville when I'm not in New York and have a daughter that lives in Tampa. Spend some time on the Skyway piers, the fishing can be incredible at times.

    1st shelter suggestions?

    Love my Shappell. The carpeted floor keeps your feet off the ice meaning warm tootsies.

    Perch Contest Sat. May 19,2012

    in Panfish

    Posted

    Contest was won by Herb Schultz with five fish weighing 7.7 lbs. They payout for the top ten places. You needed better than 5.5 lbs just to place. Lots of perch caught yesterday. Great tournament. Great turnout for the picnic. Mark your calendars for next year.

    Spoke to Capt Frank yesterday and have two 22" buggy bags on the way :):)

    I have the same boat as you. I run two beefy bags. I can get my speed down to 1.8 mph. You're going to enjoy your bags. Going into my sixth year with them and they are holding up good.
