  1. I started with an allbright knot which worked fine. A charter cap showed me how he haywire twists a small swivel on the wire. It is a two man job but works well also
  2. Just tie on 20 ft of 40 or 50 lb mono on the end of your wire and you dont't have the curly Q's to trim off. Wire should last for years unless you tangle with a copper or whatever.
  3. When the fleas show up around Rochester we splice in 150ft of Blood Run Sea Flea with back to back uni knot. 10ft or so of 20lb flouro to swivel from there. Seems to work for us
  4. My advice would be to go to the first three posts on this topic list from Legacy. Rob has stated everything you need to know about reel sizes and spooling. Great info
  5. WindAlert helps with wind direction and speed.
  6. Bought new planer reels in 2016 which came with 150-200 lb mono on them. It was OK for a couple of months then nothing wanted to slide on it easily. Changed it out with a 300 ft spool of 150 lb Power Pro last year and could not be happier. I run double keeled Otters with Clipper releases in spring and Scottys later on
  7. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. Lots of open water that part of I-Bay right now. I had no luck walking some shoreline. Good luck with the paddle search
  9. Would it be over by Southpoint Marina or farther north? I walk the trails on the east side sometimes
  10. Damn. Forgot all about this seminar. Started 30 min ago. Should start writing more things down on calender
  11. The single keels will be fine for pulling those mag lips or any stickbaits. The double keels help when you put out long coppers later in the year.
  12. Agreed. Like finsntins, my Convectors and Catalinas had 6-7 years on em and needed some PM
  13. Just got an order of 4 from Yakima. Can't wait to get em wet
  14. Yup. Tuna uses a flat rate of $5.99 for return shipping. There is a form to fill out on their website
  15. FYI it's $9 for the Dragmaster drags and around $15 for the labor. You get the old parts back in a baggie. Great value IMO. I also ordered several extra clicker springs for my Catalina wire reels. $2.
  16. We've seen a few floaters in I-Bay during the heavy stocking years, '14 & '15, but have never caught one
  17. Nice going you two.
  18. Thanks. I missed that
  19. Now thats funny, gross but funny
  20. I just read somewhere Oldsquaw numbers on the Great Lakes have been increasing cause they're chowing on zebra mussels. Can't help the taste.
