    Geez....I was only trying to give the guy some info to check out based on something I had seen in the past and I indicated that in the post. I didn't say that the wire was crap or anything I said the tensile strength was less in the chart than some other brands and it was something he might want to check out.

    You guys aren't going to scare us northenders.... this is where we excel.... when times are tough we scramble and put it together....am I scaring you southenders yet?

    Honeoye as Zack said for the largemouths especially in the evening casting Rapala like sticks.

    Here is the basic setup and a pic of Spin-N-Glows which can be used in place of the peanuts as well

    You don't need either but also set your drag so the copper holds but would go out with even something small (fairly loose drag compared with say downriggers.

    If you search for a chart on tensile strength for 7 strand wire I believe it has close to or at the lowest of the common brands in terms of strength. It was a whileagotht I saw it so you may want to check it out if you can find it. I've had good luck with Accustrand (Cablestrand Corporation) Mailn and Mason in that order.

    Large Pickerel are absolutely delicious and are much like walleye in my opinion (which is my ultimate favorite freshwater fish to eat). There are ways of filleting them that get rid of the bones too but I haven't taken the time to master it.....my son has a handle on it though and your kids should always be encouraged in their efforts to practice

    I think it is kind of hilarious that we get so personally attached to a given way of doing this stuff or the specific equipment involved ....almost like chefs arguing over recipes Whatever works and to each his/her own I guess...

    John must have forgotten to take his medication again We'll probably need steel hulls added to our rigs for fishing the north end with all the debris. This may be a "middle of the lake derby" this year....

    Nice report Jason.

    Good report Marty and good to see you got out there. Good luck the rest of the season too. That rig will turn on next month when the water starts to stratify. Les

  17. Sk8man

    Plus it takes the southenders a longtime to figure out how to set up their stuff

    "Its going to be one tough weekend" - only for the southenders and Cayuga guys Let the games begin!

    It's kinda funny how we get lulled into thinking that because we hammer them one day (or through the ice etc.) that we should be doing it all the time The fact of the matter really seems to be that the fish and the fish Gods conspire against us to mess with our minds and they do a pretty good job of it most of the time. I guess that as soon as you think you have this stuff figured out a caution sign should go up because you just know something will throw a monkey wrench into the situation.....Mother Nature is great at it too..

    Sitex has been a major player in the electronics industry for many years and they are usually high quality in their products....very reputable company.

    You can fit about 260 ft with 450 ft of 50 lb Power Pro which is OK for the Finger Lakes but not for Lake O

    I like to release fish too but I think that one wood decorate my wall Great fish!

    What I was specifically referring to with matching up weight is with Sutton spoons especially on the middle to smaller ones. I don't change the hook on the very smallest one. (5) and I cut off the existing treble NOT the solid split ring
