  1. Made a run to Olcott from Rochester yesterday on a buddy's boat and we saw our share of debris. The one nice thing was the gulls, terns,ducks and cormorants spotting some of the crap that was floating low in the water by sitting on it. Some were even mistaken for small, open boats from a distance. At least cormorants are good for something. NOT!
  2. Thanks Pap. Getting that little bugger to pose for a pic was a PITA
  3. What a waste. Two direct stockings instead of pen raising. All that money and time spent just to feed the cormorants and whatever. Incompetence by the DEC? Can't wait to hear the excuses. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. Have been using either a back to back uni knot or a blood. I have some old Fenwick downrigger rods that like the smaller blood knots. Knots fit thru the eyelets better.
  5. Montreal is flooding Brian. Certain areas are in a state of emergency. We all wish they could dump more but they can't.
  6. I-Bay and Monroe Co. will be next. Officials are asking for voluntary no wakes for now. Yea right. They need to declare state of emergency and enforce the wake limits. I-Bay is as high as we've seen in a loooong time
  7. It's all about the wind direction as we all know. We fished Mon with SSW breeze and water cleared up just past Shipbuilders. River water was getting pushed offshore. IBay has a muddy plume but nothing like the river. I believe the wind has been NW since Tues. keeping the mud nearshore.
  8. Thanks Reel Time. Just being nosy. Local tackle shop here has em for $7.99
  9. Very real looking presentation. Love those smallies. I had this 6.2 lb done 8-9 yrs ago by a guy in Holland NY. I don't have a lot of wall space for a king or big brown so this worked fine.
  10. Well isn't that special. And $4.99 to boot. Heh Landshark, I saw your post about Fat Nancys buy 4 get a Bay Rat free. How much $$ were they
  11. I got one you can have. Where are you located?
  12. I bought 2nd keels at the Niagara Fishing/Outdoor Expo in 2015 from a charter captain out of Wilson. Nice price and made well. After installing I found at rest that they sunk slowly. I took weight off the 2nd set and have had no problems since. I was told you really don't need the xtra weight unless pulling multiple long coppers. I do like spoon-fed's idea of 1/2 weights though.
  13. $15 a year for associate members. GCBA.com. Piece of cake. Just do it!!
  14. X2 on 10000 ft Blood Run bulk spools. Very cost efficient way to load up your, and friends reels. I found a spool for $200 early last year.
  15. The mono Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. Good point. Wish I could do that Les. Gotta break down my Taloras for the cuddy Kevin
  17. 40 or 50 lb. Big Game is tough stuff. Change out only when you have any doubts.
  18. Not to say you'll never tangle on a turn, but my bet is you're catching it while letting out the copper and don't know it. Letting a 450 copper out too fast can grab the belly of the wire, especially if it's out 250-300. We send out copper to a board right over the top of a deployed dipsey but the key is keep it straight and let it out SLOW
  19. We've been using 40lb mono on our wire rods for 2 years now. 25-30 ft. With an allbright knot. Change it out as needed. No more curly cues. A charter captain I know uses 50lb Spros heavy swivels on the wire. But it's a PITA to do yourself. Got my LOU stickers Luke. Thanks for the quick delivery.
  20. TunasReelTroubles.com will have those
