There is some good eating fish you got there. Especially that wahoo!! 

Looks like the weather is cooperating there better than here.

We slice them into little pieces with a fillet knife and chum em

Bills bait put a different tip on for me looks great looks like a door stop 

Sounds like you got a twilli tip. Not needed for copper or steel but needed for stranded wire setups

TTT

Glad to hear they helped you out. You can’t beat lifetime guarantee. They had an issue with the digital counters on the newer models but got it worked out 

I use a Special Mate box. Keeps sticks nice and handy and organized, but it is bulky

Well said Chuck. I think about him everyday driving by the house. Thank you for the reminder of the date. Can’t believe it’s been a year. 

Still got them

      Good info Rolmops. I did the BoatUS online class last year. It took 4-5 hours, but on my schedule. You can stop at any time during the course and save what you’ve completed. I also had the anchor icon added to my enhanced NYS drivers license. Not to difficult to do. 

      One thing I noticed during the course and also in the text above is you don’t need a boating course when renting a power boat.    Not sure about jet skis. You would think this group would need the instructions more than anyone. The popularity of boat clubs for renting is growing every year, meaning more inexperienced people on the water.

Happy New Year!

Check out the trolling gear for sale by “troubles”in the classifieds. Flies and rigged tournament style hooks at a good value are just an example of what he has for sale. Very easy guy to deal with also

Thanks Chad

IMHO

That antennae looks familiar

Trolled all over the popular areas out of clayton,6hrs on friday ,9hrs on saturday ,9hrs on sunday. Last chance this morning, we are done at noon today (Monday) fishing out of clayton. He picks lures and flat lineing distance and area to fish and we get this guy, 46". 1hr before we call it a day.  He is still pumped about it. A special thanks to Chad (Blue eye design from this forum). He got us pointed in the right direction with some great tips. My son will never forget this one and neither will I. nice healthy fish, a few pics and released. 

 

 

Congrats to your son and you also Tony. Great fish!!!

I also have a Raymarine EV-100 self installed on a 25ft Pursuit w/250 Yamaha with Seastar hydraulic steering and have had zero issues on Lake Ontario. Can’t say it handles 4-5 footers cause I’m not out there if it builds to that.  

Thanks for that info. I will consider shipping them

2 12lb balls with fins and 1 10lb pear shaped with fin. All 3 for $60.00

Pick up or will meet in Rochester area. Shipping extra. PM or text 585-743-7337

I have a lifetime sportsman as well…I was able to get that transferred onto my driver license all on line 

I got my boating course transferred on line also

PM sent

I will get some of that thanks.

Give the white polishing Scotchbrite a try on fiberglass. I’ve been using it for years on several boats. Takes off spider sh-t easily without damage

Just move the light up so you can mount it

Judging from his picture that doesn’t look like an option

Good point Yank. I can’t speak for Wayne Co. but Monroe Co. does absolutely nothing to promote our great fishery. If it wasn’t for some nice browns caught off Braddocks and several off I-Bay,  Rochester, the only weigh station in Monroe Co. BTW,  would have been shut out. IMO there is a connection. All the other lakeshore counties advertise and promote. You can count the tackle shops in Monroe Co. on one hand and not using all your fingers. County officials need to step up and help these small businesses survive. Promoting the fishery is a good start

Handsome fish, Congrats
