Good lord the wife asked to go fishing
john1947 replied to LOSTFROMFLORIDA's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Hey i bought the searay thinking my wife would like it,hasn"t turned out yet though,sometimes wives just won't fish no matter. Families who fish together stick together,lol -
Well It bit the bullet and bought the fish wench.It worked great especialy that big laker.It was a long fight but not exhausting.My Parkinson has advanced so i can't reel like I use to.The copper of course makes the fight greater.I can't interchnge it to the other reels though,The really good fish took the other penn 345 .Took over half of the 300 yds backer on two long runs before we lost him. Love copper fishing very very productive and larger fish also.

Hi Nick, We had a excellent day out in front of our port.First day use of the fish wench on a penn 345.It works great on the copper alot of less fatigue for us .You can actually set it and it wll bring in copper on it's own like a rigger.Handles fish great,sort of heavy somewhat but a rod belt or sitting it helps alot.Glad your having a good day.Yesterday big fish came on green and white spinny chrome ,they liked the chrome edge better and green fly.king of kings magnum ,black took a big fish also,a stellar day 40 lb big game works great fles little heavy but it wporks good fishing john

Had our first day using the fish wench add on on our penn 345 we use for copper.This reel probably would take 500 blood run plusx baker very easy install,the motor was also very quite.Nice to bring in big fish especially draging alot of copper.You can use set it and turn it on and it will do all the work for you.caught some high ten lakers and had also a few kings,the real nice one hit the rod with out the fish wench,.That king took out over 150 uds of backer also.It makes nokie time just that much more enjoyable

john1947 replied to Adk1's topic in This Old Boat
you could have a cracked water jacket.I would look over the lower block and see if there are cracks.No danger unless you push out a soft plug. -

Hi, I joined a bass club this year for a bit of diversion from just trolling .I have talked to some guys about the new sidescan which seems to help alot even with the bass.Ive also heard about the humminbird 360.Nice unit some bugs still though.Just wondered if any of you experience in this new technology.technology. Ive been looking at the gamins gpsmap74sv looks good. as i got two units,178c and a 431.I like the 178c better even if it's a older united Comments welcome. Good fishing john

nice report,congradulations on the atlantic.back in the 90 "s we use to catch alot of atlantics.Sort of got away for awhile,hard to find trollers today,to much time spent online maybe,haha I fish east of you pultneyville area I havnt put the boss in yet thinking maybe west might be better.Heard it's been a super spring out of rochester so far. Well keep up your great reports,Ill be visiting them. thanks john Have a Happy Fourth of July -
Saw large flocks earlier in the victor area.My area in marion is way down i think to the heavy snow we had this winter.Made it tough for the birds to find food this winter.I kept my pond open with a aeriator and feed quit a few wild birds that came in to my small flock of ducks.Didn't have any turkeys around at all winter nor deer.

maybe what they should do is have a seperate fingerlakes season.The big lake has locked up early the past second half with few good divers.Definitely a later finger lakes hunt would be very productive and fun. Problem like you said alot of guys don't like tough conditions. Hey I still hunt even with PD.

My sons and I hunted 4 years with only a handle of birds to show.it was fun no doubt watching the birds look us over along with the other many ducksand geese.never saw so many pintails early like when we spring snow hunted.Got to have lots of geeks and a good caller.I did find that jumpers would often drive the birds out of the area.Also many farmers drive them off to protect their wheat fields. If I go again ill go on a good paid hunt and forget the overhead. Now i drive around and videotape them with my nice cam corder,80x zoom. Ive keep my pond open all winter and now enjoy a wonderful show. The pond has many ducks using it now as a resting area.
