  1. I guess my next question is how would I know which marks are walleye and not salmon and trout, is it a temp and bait thing? [ Post made via Android ]
  2. Any of you guys use Buzz Bombs when casting for fall salmon? If so how did you do? [ Post made via Android ]
  3. I know this isn't the buying section but I wanted some more traffic on this post, also I will take wither a whole acculite or just the top half. Kind of an odd request I know but if any of you have a top part of the above mentioned rod I would love to get it. The top two guides on mine snapped and I really enjoyed that rod for float season. PM me if you guys have anything!! [ Post made via Android ]

  5. The past two years my buddy and I have caught real nice eyes at the mouth of sandy in April. [ Post made via Android ]
  6. Hey Guys, does anyone know whats the deal with the Oak Eyes? Every spring it seems that someone hauls a giant eye off the pier and every fall I read reports of guys running into them. Now this tells me two things: 1. The walleye in the oak can be enormous, 2. There are schools that come to feed and spawn in the spring and fall. Now they should be able to be targeted with reasonable success. My question is do any of you guys target these fish specifically, even amidst the trout and salmon? If so what do you do to catch them? I have some ideas of places they might sit upriver, but other than that I am clueless as to location and tactic. I am not looking for secrets or honey holes, just a nudge in the right direction. Feel free to PM if you don't want others to see the info. Also I am a hardcore trout and salmon guy, I just want to expand my horizons. (This should answer the inevitable, "why the heck do you want walleye with all the salmon around" question.) Thanks!
  7. Get Tommy B to look it over! [ Post made via Android ]
  8. Sounds good [ Post made via Android ]
  9. Guess not then. [ Post made via Android ]
  10. Hey guys, I am gonna try jigging lakers out in front of Sandy Creek, Hamlin. I know there are tons of em out there but my question is are they still in 80' to 120'? Also I am aware of the current situation and as such I have rigged 2oz trolling sinkers inside 4in white tubes. I know it can be done and I will have the help of my trolling motor and drift buckets. Any specific locations or depths out of Sandy that can help me dial this in? [ Post made via Android ]
  11. Leader length is my wingspan and the cut was around my wrist. About six inches from the fingertips where my leader ended in a swivel. It's elementary really. [ Post made via Android ]
  12. Is there any good way to fabricate snubbers? [ Post made via Android ]
  13. Buddy and I were fishing over 380 when our riggers popped and spoon just gone. Cut clean six inches ahead of where the swivel was. Rod acted like a fish was on for a sec too. Never seen a trout or salmon engulf a lure enough to do that. Was very wierd and eery. [ Post made via Android ]
  14. I have had what I think is a pretty novel idea for a spoon for a while, you would take a typical trolling spoon and stamp the shape, then bend the spoon into an S-curve and properly tune the top and bottom edges of spoon to offset the force of the water to keep the spoon from doing the typical wobble. If done properly the spoon should theoretically travel straight forward, without flipping over, in an exaggerated S pattern, like a swimming fish. This way the lateral line of the salmon is stimulated in a natural way and the pattern on the spoon is exposed horizontally 100% of the time. I have never tried to make it cause I just don't have access to proper materials. I think it would be huge. Side note if anyone wants to help me create this please do. Other side note this is intellectual property of me! ( In case this becomes big ) [ Post made via Android ]
  15. Brows and Kings preferred. A mix of both would be ideal! Skein is simply the eggs of a fish that have yet to detach from the membrane inside the fish. Aka a "tight" fish as trib guys call them, rather than the loose spawning fish you see actually spilling eggs when you catch them. [ Post made via Android ]
  16. Hey guys, I am a big time float fisherman and as such I was wondering if you could toss any skien you get from the big female's into a red and white cooler I will have set up near the side of Bruce's building facing the boat launch. I figure if you fillet a couple kings for clients it shouldn't be much trouble at all. I will be there fishing this Sat 8/4 and the cooler will be there as well. If you guys could donate it would be awesome! [ Post made via Android ]
  17. Hey guys, how far off the ball do you typically run your spoons for summer browns? [ Post made via Android ]
  18. Do you fish the crawlers on a dropshot or a more perch style rig? [ Post made via Android ]
  19. Nah, I would rather not be irreparably damaged! [ Post made via Android ]
  20. Ahh comon guys, use your imaginations. I am not "fixing" anything, just wistfully thinking of what could be. But just remeber that the salmoniods we love to catch are just at foreign as gobies. It's all a cash deal. Salmon are cheap to raise and easy to pattern, thus a $ return to the captains, the tourists and state. And soon with all the stocking this fishery could collapse just as bad as Michigans. The only natives are lakers and Atlantic's, everything else is just a man created Goldfish bowl. And if you can control kings, you ought to be able to control stripers. Not that I can complain about having some of the best fishing for trout and salmon in the world 15 min from me ;p. Just saying its fun to imagine what could be if money making wasn't the central point. [ Post made via Android ]
  21. Now don't laugh or get angry, I just wanted to kick this idea out there and see what you guys thought of this. What if the DEC released some striped bass into Lake Ontario? Now I would imagine the bass would out compete the salmoniods and the baitfish population might crash, but in Raystown Lake, PA the two coexsist quite well. Could you imagine? Surf casting for breaking striper off the piers, pinning for steelhead and the stripers, and last but not least trolling up 40lb Kings in the morning and 50lb Bucketmouths in the evening. Spring and fall runs of huge trout, salmon and striper. Think of the fly fishing and spinning opportunities that could happen! Ha now back to reality, this all comes from annual pilgrimages to the Cape where I would stand waist deep in the surf hauling in bluefish after bluefish and then have my plug get crushed by a cow striper, or drifting 4 oz bucktails in the Ditch tentatively awaiting the thump of a 20 lber to make my day. The salt is in my blood, and I just wish we could bring it a little closer What would you guys think of stripers in Lake O?
  22. It's sorta kinda a walleye bass comvo, but yes we are!! [ Post made via Android ]
