Looking for recommendations on lures
AnglingAddict replied to JMpendo599's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Back when I had a trailerable boat we fished the finger lakes a lot (I grew up fishing Canandaigua). Flasher/fly on 8" spindoc or echip with a fly is absolutely a great presentation for lake trout in the finger lakes. White double crush glow attractor with an Ultra White Glow A-Tom-Mik fly took an insane number of lakers for me deep and on overcast days. For me they were best fished off wire divers - June/July timeframe was best. Chrome/Green attractors with A-Tom-Mik Hypnotist flies were another great option on bright days. As far as fishing smaller lures - the fish in the finger lakes feed on alewives and while those alewives may be just a tad smaller than the big adults you find on Lake Ontario - I wouldn't hesitate to run regular size Dreamweaver spoons, superslims, regular size stingers or Stingrays by MIchigan Stinger...... -
I like fishweather - I use the paid version of it and I've found it to be the one I use the most. We are slipped so we are at the boat anyways usually so for us its a matter of getting up and looking at the lake but good to know what the wind will do in a couple hours as well.....might help you to decide if you are going to breakfast or going to leave the dock.

Fair Haven 3/3
AnglingAddict replied to greenhornet73's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
My kiddo and I were out of Fair Haven on the 3rd in that fog - absolutely crazy! We were in the driftboat - 6 rods. 3 flatlines, a one color, a slide on one side and chinook diver on the other. We ended up 6 for 10 - not on fire but picked away. All put back for another day. Vid of him navigating the driftboat back to the chute LOL. IMG_0410.mov -

In line boards
AnglingAddict replied to dhhurlburt's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Yeah - the knot wouldn't slide through the rear clip - probably not that - odd??? -
In line boards
AnglingAddict replied to dhhurlburt's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
my guess is your board is sliding on the release - instead of your middle board sliding 'up' my guess is your inside board is sliding down the line enough that the two end up with close to the same "line out" from rod tip to front release on the inline - what are you running for boards and releases? -

I get it but if you make it hard enough where they have to put extra effort in they usually move along to the next guy....scammers don't really seem to put much work in - at least for something thats a few hundred dollars it seems....content usually to find another easy target... -

AnglingAddict replied to walleye wizzard's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
A lot of these guys will grab pics off the internet and ask for payment even thought they don't have the item in their possession. What I typically do is ask them for a second photo of the item and ask them to hold a specific item in the field of view - like a can of soda or a dollar bill or some common object. When doing that I've never been scammed - most times on social media or here if I have requested I'm either blocked or the person goes away.....food for thought. -
Thanks guys!

Lots of good memories in our 2023 rewind - couple good tournament placings, Bobby won the summer LOC youth salmon (4th on the main board) and we took home the A-Tom-Mik triple crown for the 2023 season. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/uLF17nQymgM

Slide Diver question
AnglingAddict replied to SusanJames's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Set them loose - if they false trip with the speed you are running and what you are pulling - reel in and give half turn on screw - repeat until you get release tension so that it holds at trolling speed plus a little more and you will be right where you need to be. -

Son’s 2020 Summer LOC BT mount
AnglingAddict replied to AnglingAddict's topic in Open Lake Discussion

We decided to get my son’s 2020 summer LOC youth BT winner mounted and went with Rich Benedict Jr (Angling Artisans Unlimited) in Kendall. Second BT he has done for us. True artist. Fiberglass re-creation mold of your fish and he pulls a blank from the mold - paint is perfect - depth, color hues change as you walk around the fish. Very happy with it as I am with the other one. He’s not the fastest guy but he’s the best and worth waiting for. Pics and vid don’t do it justice. Just wanted to share. IMG_9664.mov

Katlynn Marine in Sodus is a Yanmar dealer - that's going to be your nearest option.

Beefy Bags all the way - Had one come apart this year but had a few years and a bunch of time on it - 5-6 footers and running 1200 RPMs to get the control/speed we needed to get bit in that direction. Wasn't a catastrophic failure - will have it re-sewn this off-season. I don't think there really is anything better out there.

Recommendation on fish gripper - do they all stink?!
AnglingAddict replied to Netbender's topic in Tackle and Techniques
You get what you pay for - lot of cheap choices that don't work well. Original Boga grip by Estaboga tackle - yeah they cost a lot - on year 13 or so with mine. Durable, fairly accurate scale, and I think less damaging to fish jaws as you don't clamp them down to hold the fish.... https://bogagrip.com/ -
