  1. funny i did a search and didnt find that one i guess that answers my one question now if i can find the right stuff online or if the hollow ace will work.
  2. I am thinking of switching my planer board set up to power pro instead of the braded dacron i have. Has any body tried this? will 200lb test work? the smaller diameter means i can get more on the reel i use and spread more for it. this will alow me more options for running without haveing to buy planer reel (i use a homemade mast with old converted level winds) I am adding a copper rod to my collection this year but also want to think about running two dipseys on a side and so need to get the copper or lead core farthur out than i currently can. Also i look on ebay and keep seeing the hollow ace power pro in the 200lb steangth will that work or should i get the downrigger line version? I want yellow if i can get it.
  3. So to answer the Question yes the launch is open they even have one set of docks in. though the town may have just been to cheap to take them out. fished from the bay to webster and back had one knock off on a rapala than caught one brown just infront of the bay ss blue dolphin on a 2 color core. those short cores have been real good to me the last couple years. The water was cold 33 was the warmest I found and there was a lot that showed at 31 or less. I supposed its possible that my temp probe isnt 100% accurate as under 31 seems wrong to me but either way no warm pockets to concentrate them. fising should only improve from here on out.
  4. i have the same question wanna go out saturday i'm still thinking about last spring
  5. i cant wait i'm planning on saturday this weekend the boat just needs some gear oil and is all set to go. the only thing that might stop me is if the weather is right I may go to lake O for browns

    Seneca seneca

    thinking about this weekend as well the way the weather looks how often does the lauch behind the hotel ice up? its supposed to be real cold the next two days if i have to launch from severn that changes things for me as i only have a range of a couple miles
  7. my brother and I look forward to the derby all year its the only time i get to spent 3 days in a row on the water. makes me wanna get the boat our more than ice fish
  8. im due for a raise but it wont be much my guess is this boat wont be avail long
  9. Thats painful that boat is almost exactly what I want now if you drop the price by about $6500 it will fit in my budget. I had to take on the whole family in health insurence this year instead of just me and the kid man thats a blow to the wallet.
  10. ray lewis was instrumental in another mans death he has no right to be talked about like hes this great person I hope he misses the tackel on a game winning touchdown by san fran
  11. a 12lb leader will keep even heavy mono sporting
  12. i have the same problem they keep eating my fruit trees. i wanna sit in my kits tree house and take a couple of them down maybe my peaches would stand a chance next year.
  13. we fished sunday started late (8ish). had a tough time batteling the wind. fising was slow boated five small LL lost one about 3lbs at the boat and had some knock offs. nothing specil but is always nice to get out.

    Catfish

    there are no blue catfish in the genny they do not live in NY there are channel cats and some big ones there are also stinging catfish which only get to a couple pounds. cut bait and commercial catfish bait work very well for them deep holes catch fish as well as log jams if you can find them. if your shore bound just keep trying the farthur upstream the better in the spring and summer if your getting some small ones that means your in a decent area try some shiners cut in half you will get fewer small fish but will get some brutes. nite is best but if your in the right spot you can get them during the day.
  15. i cant wait gonna de-winterize the boat for next sunday and take my brother out there i definatly am into this whole winter fishing thing
  16. gotta love the gar pike very underated fish
  17. i can tell you fishing the finger lakes it matters espeically when the fish are up high down deep I could see the argument but even than how many times do fish follow for a time than swim off or bite dont you think seeing the line at that point might affect a fish? in the old days when i fished with my dad pre zebra muscle it didnt matter these days I think it can make a difference and the shallower the fish are the biggger the difference.
  18. cant go wrong with PLine i use it for leaders on my tip ups for pike without issue and have been using it since i got back into trolling and works great
  19. where is smith park if the weather allows i would love to get out again
  20. in the report on the first link the last line under projects there putting a camera in at the hatchery fish ladder? I would love to see that become a web cam one of these days i'm gonna convince my wife to take a weekend trip to see the hatchery and fish the river in the fall.
  21. If i could i would im praying for really cold now would be fun to ice fish out of watkins [ Post made via Android ]
  22. i was supprised to only see one other boat out and he was perch fishing the weather was gorgeous almost makes me wish for a no ice year i like this winter trolling thing but my tip ups didnt get wet this year so i can hear them in the basement screaming for action.
  23. boat size and style makes a difference smaller boats where you can reach the stern over a board the board is a nice option because of weight distribution as the boat gets larger gunnel mounts are more and more appealing what make and model boat do you have maybe some one with a similar model will be able to give you some feedback on what theve done.
  24. Made it out christmas eve even got the stepson to go with me. Took the drive to Watkins set out right out of the channel didnt get all the lines in before we had our first midget LL in got a double on one rod a minuet later and steady hits from then on got about a mile north of the plant and turned back. As the day went on the fish got a little bigger ended up with a 24" laker a 22" rainbow and a pair of 22" land locks plus several salmon and bows up to 18 inches made for a fun day at least every lure took hits even the flasher fly DW SS bloody death on a 4 color core took the most and the biggest bow the way the fishing was turning i should have started late and fished till dark as they wer definatly getting bigger as the day went on. All fish were released for the next trip we did get two fish with lamprays on them first for me out of seneca this year both were small 10 inch lampreys and floated away nicely in multiple pieces it worrys me to see them on those little fish like that though. Hope the weather stays warm enough i can keep the boat running for another winter trip or two.
