i'm with rocketman there is a lot to be said for the release tighten it up a bit and your hookups will increase.

So my bro had babysitter problems and couldnt come with me so instead of him and my nephew I was alone. went out of severn and had a decent day 3 fish on 5 hits all LL over 20" I was pretty pleased considering I couldnt troll against them because I couldnt leave the wheel long enough to set a rod and with them was only marginally better. was fun though the firstone jumped over the net and went under the boat and all hell broke loose after that. 3 rods on my own on a rough day I'm amazed i didnt have more tangles. sorry i'm so excited over them I just started trolling for trout and such last year so I'm pretty new to it

dude if your that unsure pick up the reg book when you get your license I read it every year and the regs around spawning season are the most complicated of the whole book. again each river or stream has general regs and than special regs for certian sections of certian rivers. as far as the egg sinker and rapala I dont think there is enough current in the mouth where you said you wanted to fish though maybe I say try it. I know this time of year if you get upwellings of cold water right off of harbor mouths swim baits on spinning gear can be deadly but you gotta find the pockets. and again if your down stream of the last bridge than you can definatly try the rapala if not check the regs for the spot your fishing sometimes floating lures are okay you may just have to remove one hook.

cool thank you than severn it is my bro wants me to take the boat to lake O but with the scattered t storms there calling for I dont like being that far off shore in my little boat plus I seem to have better luck in the fingers anyway. see you out there sunday

location matters in the lake those hook regs do not apply they are for the first bridge upstream to the first barrier and only apply during spawning season I forget the exact dates because they rarly apply to me because I usually drift size 10 hooks with eggs under a float or 1/16oz or smaller hair jigs under a float for trout and salmon just because thats the way I like to do it something about seeing the float dissapear. also a lot of tribs have special regs for certian sections so check but if your in the lake or downstream of the last bridge your good with any type of jig more or less though i dont think you can get away with calling a snag hook a jig

I'm throwing a line out for some help. I have the green light to take the boat out this weekend and the money for gas and everything. I'm gonna fish seneca and would like to fish somewhere in the southern half. I usually launch from geneva and fish the north end because thats closest. All I ever do there is lake trout so i wanted to try another area just because I can. I was planning on launching at severn but I was trying to look it up online and saw somewhare that it only has parking for 12 cars is this true? that I can find there are not any other launches close on that side of the lake. I will likely have my 12 year old nephew with me and would hate for him to see me start swearing because theres no parking. does that lot usually fill up fast or am I okay. I guess with what limited knowledge I have of the area the backup would be to go to lodi point its just a longer drive for me because I'm coming from the west but its only about 10 mins longer as I am starting from the north end. is it worth the drive to lodi or is severn fine and if severne is fine what is the launch fee so I bring enough cash. Thank you in advance for any help. I'll take any free fishing advice if you wanna help a 12 year old get his first LL or bow (something that jumps). but my biggest concern is boat launches in unfamiliar areas. I have had issues in the past though my boat is small enough that I can lauch on just about anything.

will you break up the set?

Is this still avail? And where is it [ Post made via Android ]

My favorite is still when I was a kid in my dads boat during the fall run when everyone was trolling the river mouth and they set the sailboat racing bout right in the middle of it. Or when anchored fishing perch and the put the racing bout 20 yards away and had the nerve to yell at us for not moiving [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

to go with what hooked up said its interesting I have a small boat and so spend more time on the fingers than lake O I have had many incidents on lake O espicially with a few charters. I have a small boat so everyone in a big boat thinks i'll just move but its made of aluminum and if it sinks I can replace it for less than it would cost them to fix the damage to theirs. plus when you get pushed between a boat and the pier i'll take the boat anyday. That aside on the finger lakes I have had almost no problems. even fishing in crowds where people get close because of no choice nobody purposly cuts each other off and overall are a lot more curteous. Maybe its a country thing were just lower stress out here.

I've seen steelies in the tribs late when the sallies are spawning the bass chase them from nests hard core and repeatedly bite the tails. The rough teeth would leave wounds that would bleed for a while. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Ps. The magic wave number is 2 feet or less. More than that gets real tough in a small boat [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

I fish out of a 14' starcraft spring browns summer walleye and fall kings are all doable but check that wave forecast often and day of. If you can afford it I recommend lcs. For your dipseys that way you can let them out and set another line at the same time. Also look to the fingerlakes withthat boat a lot more fishable days for a small boat and can build that urge a bit [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Get P line I use it for trolling and I use it for leaders for ice fishing pike I have more confidence in my leaders than my main line 15 on the small rods 20 on the bigger stuff [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

So I gave it one more shot at Watkins had the starter issues fixed and after some effort the old girl fired up and I went out unfortunately I was alone so only had 2 rods fished for 4 hours and went 2 for 3 small LL all on sticks 2 on orange all at the south end not the day I wanted but the boat runs and I got my first open water fish of this season so not an all bad day I was surprised by the number of boats [ Post made via Mobile Device ] [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Anyone know Whare I can get a starter for a 66 johnson 40horse? [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

After all that I got the water heater replaced and got to the launch and the damn recoil broke so never made it out we fished the pier for a bit with no luck what a pita [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Damn irony woke up at 3 this morning with a crying 3 year old and discovered I had no hot water go into the basement and water is pouring out of the heater still gonna try to get out tomorrow but its gonna be a fight with the wife [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

If my boat were any smaller it would be a cartop im coming from the north so maybe Severn is a good idea but barring a north wind I will be out there [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Im taking the boat out for the first time this year. I decided im going to make a bigger effort to learn Seneca as its the closest lake to mess it worth it to launch on the north end now or should I just drive right to Watkins or is there another launch somewhere south of Sampson. I will post how I do regardless but a little friendly advice never hurts [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

believe it or not we sell those skulls although we require them a bit cleaner than that. Also have the full skeletons or preserved whole fish for dissection. I love the science supply buisness.

first one is a snake head back when they were leagel a knew a couple friends that had them as pets. the second one its hard to tell but the head doesnt look quite right wish the fish was out of the water for the pic but hopefully it is a darter i'd hate to see another invasive come in though i'd love to go to there native range and fish for them

I actully target these things once or twice a year fish them like pike with a big live bait have gotten a couple over 10lbs what a blast and they will bite and snap at you

dont be afraid of ebay I got a reasonable set of manuals two for 60 bucks perfect for my little starcraft on the finger lakes
