UNREEL

It’s also disappointing that the only weigh station in Monroe Co is  the port of Rochester. Certainly can’t help people to sign up if you’re from the east side

Some questions:

Does anyone keep pre-tied leads of fluorocarbon to run from the dipsy to the spoon? If so, how long and how do you store them? 
Thx Brian

We keep our dipsey leaders wrapped around short 8-10in.  pieces of foam swim noodles.  Both ends of leaders are secured in the foam with 1in. roofing nails. We keep 15lb, 20lb and 40lb. All around 8ft long. You can use a Sharpie to mark on the foam which is which

Thank you everyone for the input! I ended up getting a set of Scotty 1116 ProPacks. Got a heck of a deal on them so it was hard to pass up! Tight Lines Everyone!

Love my ProPacks. Don’t forget to send in your registration info to Scotty. Helps if you have any problems. Lifetime warranty is a bonus

2 fixed position 30 degree rod holders and 2 bow rail clamps for sale. Pursuit sports was acquired by Traxtech. All the same product. 

Clamps will fit 7/8in to 1 1/2in rail. Rod holders can be screwed directly to clamps or to a track mounted to clamps. All excellent condition.

$100.00 firm. Shipping extra. Rochester area. PM for info

Decided to stay inside for browns this Am. Water out front had good color and 56 deg. Headed East and water kept getting clearer and clearer. Turned around past Shipbuilders and after a few lure changes picked up 2 fat brownies back towards Oklahoma beach. Dirty white boy and glow frog in SS size. 20 FOW. Good water kinda disappeared with S wind. Marked very little bait but the 2nd brown gorped up a big moon eye. Gonna hit it again Fri. Winds look good

Gonna give it a shot outta I-bay tomorrow. Will give a report late afternoon.

I’ve done my 250 Yamaha in my slip mid season for the past ten years with no issues. I use a DC pump with a jumper battery. A calm day a with no boat wakes helps. Like CK3080 said the lower unit presents other issues.

$100+ each for them?????

I paid $75 apiece for these rods  in 1985. Still using em. Fun for smallies or kings

That Ugly stick sounds like it might be a little light for the wire/dipsey. Medium heavy to heavy would be better. Can't go wrong with Mason 7 strand on FISHUSA. I don't see Blood Run wire offered that I've used before.

Pauline lead core off of boards what release works best? Can I use just a standard planer board release or is it lead to heavy

Alan- stop at the boat I'll give you a few Scotty's to try out. 

It sucked off I-Bay also. Similar conditions minus the Lakers. Two hummingbirds were tailing us for awhile but scared to land. Couldn't get a pic

Set up in 40 to find cold water and East wind, yuk. Could see lakers stacked up and didn’t want to play with them. Slid in to 15-20 and trolled for an hour. Blank screen and no hits. Highlight of the morning was a little bird that decided to perch in front of me on my steering wheel. Pretty morning, off the water at nine. Need some west wind.

Well Bruce, I'm trying to be optimistic because the Feds were looking for public input about cormorant management back in March. Check out Jerry's post back in Feb. The process probably ground to a halt in Washington with the virus, but I'm hoping something, anything, will change this year.

Friend of mine sent me this video. Said it was taken in E of Somerset NY. I'd say we have a cormorant problem. Hopefully the USFWS gets off their behinds and let's the DEC take some kind of action. 

Google Anisakiasis. It might change your mind

Check your PM

I fished with a guy a few years ago who would cut the tails off of salmon and toss em in the livewell to bleed out. 

It was easy and fast. Anyone else do that? 

Looking forward to seeing that brown. Post a pic when you get it please.

He's fishing out of I-Bay but from a new marina not a new port.

This will be my first season trolling on the Lake.  Mostly will be fishing Henderson area.   I was wondering if I could get by using the same rods and reels for Browns, Lakers, and Walleye if I was to get the right setup.  I have just started to gather equipment up.  I Plan on having down riggers, planers, and possibly dipsy divers depending on the amount I learn and pace that I learn.  So far I have ordered Okuma Coldwaters in size 30.  Any suggestions would be helpful thanks. 

All good suggestions for rods and divers. Your Okuma 30 size reels would be perfect for wire. As for spooling with mono get a bulk spool of Trilene Big Game 20 lb. test. Most cost effective way. You can leader down with flourocarbon for stealth depending on target species. When the fleas show up just peel of a 100 ft or more of mono and tie on some Blood Run Sea Flee to top off reel

And if this weather pattern continues that may be in mid July.
