could not find any problem using the reels on any regulations.This topic is not new as many use them now.

40 lb works,its awkward some knot gets caught some ,few fleas and never a lost fish.lol

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

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

Another very good day, caught many nice kings , two 15 plus lakers , green white , meat, copper very large fish, used fish wench great copper reel, electric, 200 pus or minus was area,

nice trip.do you fish LO?

It started out good with a nice king,green and white spin doctor which proved the choice with a green fly.Had a triple with four fish on two on one rod with cheater.
Copper 400 dipseys and dowmrigger too k fish.Can't get better fishing then today
Anything green and white was hot,had two very large fish on but lost copper and diver,which were inside 150 60 down
Any idea when the deadline is in the pro am in sodus this week

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.

SALMON FISHING WAS PRODUCTIVE TODAY .sMALL WERE SMALLER ,NO MAJORS TODAY BUT ALOT ACTION,FISH CAME ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING DIPSYS TOOK THE LARGER FISH,FISHED ANY WHERFROM 150 TO 120,NO FLEAS OR BITING FLIES

Good article in side scan http://www.in-fisherman.com/gear-accessories/electronics/sonar-electronics/side-imaging-sonar/

the bass are shallow early then move out deeper.Had good luck last year late summer.Fish are there different tactics ,clear line and sometimes i use my leadcore when deeper ,very effective last summer

don't give up

haha

bass fishing has been productive if your interested .pretty large small mouth around and getting hungry.

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

Good day for guys with the new sidscan models.I like the hummingbird 360 but the garmin 74sv is pretty good also.

Still can't decide whether to trailer the boss as I just got a new dodge larime to tow it "where the fish are".heard great reports out of Rochester all spring

Hi Guys ,

Anyone try lead core or copper off the boards.Worked great last year when I was out on Joe Pastore boat.Good luck guys ,

Ill second the wet rag or towel,anybody got thee hummingbird 360 working today ?

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.

glad you took the time to help other fisherman.Looks like you enjoyed your trip.

Good fishing

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.
