so I was given a pair of 12 foot tacos. I installed them late last year and used them a couple times for flat lines and short cores i like them especially in traffic or rough water. I want to use them more and like the idea of running a second dipsey on them better than copper. I only own one copper set up and usually leave it at home. just not my thing. my question is can you run a wire dipsey off the outrigger? does it hurt the line or potentially put a kink in it? my though it to just loop it over the release so i can slide it out before letting line out on the dipsey but I have been reluctant to try it with the wire. my other extra diver rod is braid so it doest run during flea season.

i like the GO5 and tablet option. with the wifi you can also stream to your phone or another tablet at the same time so you you can have your fishfinder anywhere in the boat. or each person can have one if they are bored. I dont know what its range is but the demo models work all the way accross the west marine store so theoretically a friend on another boat could see your screen if you gave them the password. may or may not be useful but would be fun on a slow day.

Garmin pantopix though way out of price range I have a raymarine coming next week the feature that sold it was the wifi can stream it to a tablet or phone and with navigation now through that app a 10 inch tablet is cheaper than a 10 inch finder so that was my way to get a large touch screen a budget smaller than yours hopefully it works out Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Potentially you could have kept and sold that one to an ornamental pond owner they are not cheap to buy big Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Comet goldfish same as the ones you win at the carnival the big ones are popular in the koi pond world they can live a very long time in captivity. Usually the majority are born a more subdued color similar to carp but they are culled out in the pet trade in the wild it's the other way around as bright orange is a predator magnet they are invasive here but I do not know of any impact studies Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

i've delt with import of various things as part of my job. I cannot emphasize enough how valuable a good broker is, the above posts are right hire one and be done with it. the paperwork is painful at best and often the two countries cant agree on whats needed and what isnt.

i've been vacationing on that lake for 25+ years always in late july. there are pike just about everywhere and they will eat just about anything so pick the technique you like to fish and work it till you find the area it works in. for the bigger non snot rocket pike in summer deep(er) water access is a must. main lake or channel points and bay. deep grass flats. and cliffs all have good potential.. the best pike fishing I have ever found is if you can find golden shiners (in the lake). get a sabaki and some spikes. catch the shiners put the right out on a bobber. great fun. if you cant find shiners small perch work well to but they are everywhare. where as schools of shiners are slightly harder to find but always have pike and other predators around them. for artificials I have caught just as many on twister tails fishing for pan fish as on spoons and spinner baits and soft plastics fishing for pike or bass. If you have a good drift or slow troll going throw a live bait out on a circle hook and fluro leader 10-30 foot behind the boat as you cast all sorts of fun things will eat it. and by live bait I mean anything shiner perch sunfish, as long as you count it towards your limit and its legal size you can use it for bait.

good to here we are already looking forward to next year

thats how my brother drives except i dont have any form of auto pilot he wonders why I always end up yelling at him at least once while setting lines

mid summer canandagiua boat traffic sucks if she is not into the morning thing than that is a tough lake for fishermen mid summer. seneca is just as close but I dont know the panfish there very well. cross lake is closer than it looks about 45 mins. I bay is real close as well as the genny but to be honest from that area for panfish honeyoe and conesus are probably the best bet. throw a shiner out on a bobber on conesus while fishing and she might hit a big bass pike or tiger. your close to the canal is well but in that area i have never found much for size though i havent fished it much as I got the boat right around the same time i moved to the area and got into trout and salmon trolling

it lives on the creek very near my cottage I have been keeping a close eye out for signs of it in the shed or camp itself. havent seen any yet hopefully it stays that way. guess i'll tell the wife no. shes terrified of it anyway last time it popped out of a rock 20 feet from here and she dropped the fishing rod and took off running. I couldnt get off the ground i was laughing so hard

i showed it to the wife now she wants to train the mink at camp lord knows there are pleanty of gobies there as well

i like the format of the derby as is and this is the derby that got me back into trolling. my brother and I look forward to it all year. that said I am looking to try a team event or two in the coming years and wonder if it would be possible to have a team event imbeded with in the derby for those interested. that may be to complicated to pull off but it could be done for those who want that different competition yet leave the derby as a whole open to everyone. Just a thought. as long as this derby is going we will likly continue to fish it
