    Brent - You picked out some real good ones . I had a lot of luck with the bows last year with those lures both on Canandaigua and Seneca and I intend to give them a real good workout this season as soon as I can get my boat out there. They are great lures and I know Jason is very dedicated to making them as high quality as possible. I'll be giving my Suttons etc. a rest this year for sure....

    There used to be a place right on Wellesley Island where you could get the Canadian license....just can't remember the name of the place It was a ways from the park though. Maybe ask at the park gate or at the store at the boat rental launch

    Not exactly a new method....been done for many years but for a number of recent years much of Keuka hasn't frozen enough (especially the Branchport arm) to get out there to do it.

    Hundreds of thousands of good perch spots on that big lake and they play "monkey see monkey do" and then wonder why they don't catch anything...and spoil the shore fishermen's day in the process (who don't have the ability to go to the other spots) pretty lame to me. One of them even started his motor out of the water and let it run for about a minute before launching.....good luck with that!

    I counted 47 boats that launched there yesterday morning and they were lined up about 50 ft from each other from the beach at the north end to well past the south end of the breakwall....pretty ridiculous and most didn't catch a damned thing

    Zebedee you have a PM

    I don't think you want to test out the line.... now that significant security concerns are heightened both sides monitor very closely and will intercept and detain you if you stray too far.

    I caught this this morning at Seneca Lake Park marina on a jig and spike while fishing for perch and it was about 17 or 18 inches long. It may be a golden shiner but it is by far the largest I've ever seen and its scales and body shape were more carp like but the mouth and head are more like a shiner. I threw it back unharmed anyway.

    Good thing you weren't at the north end Rollie it was 4-5 ft waves today

    You'll notice on most dipseys there is a weighted selector with the numbers on it and by turning it either way it forces it to go in that direction to the degree you turn it (one being less severe than 3) and yes it will go to the left or port if the weight is shifted that way. Don't go past the 3 setting on either side though as it will force the dipsey to surface usually. The higher the number of the setting the shallower the dipsy will run in the water too.I usually set the release by "feel" depending on what I'm running behind it (e.g. fly, spoon, stick etc.) and what I'm fishing for Walleye lighter than Chinook or trout. You won't get into trouble for experimenting

    I hear ya John but at this age I have a DILLIGAF attitude sometimes and luckily my wife has a great sense of humor and takes my ideosyncrasies well and maybe it helps being 10 years older than her so she attributes it to senility

    Very cool! I've never seen the Lookdown fish before either. I used to have relatives that lived on Sanibel (stockbroker:>) but no longer. I was in Florida too last week but didn't get a chance to fish this time. Great pics. My daughter would have been thinking she was in heaven collecting the shells when she was younger.

    Cool Glad things worked out for you. Good luck with it.

    Use a single or double crimp

    I think you are referring the the Fish Hawk TD which is a whole different thing than the probe that is used with the Fish Hawk X4 or X4D am I correct?

    plecos4sale - Cool... I knew both Roides and Oravec somewhat back then and used to fish near them at night in my little Whaler then they became charter guys and went to Lake O. I don't think anyone night fishes out there anymore. Miriam Clark was good mechanic and the only female boat mechanic I've ever known and I guess she and John moved to Florida after that. on the M-80

    The primary reason for this bait regulation was to prevent the spread of hemmoragic virus and other diseases from spreading worse than they already are in the lakes but the cat is pretty much out of the bag at this point.

    I'm not an electronics whiz but I think the thru hull and in-hull transducers may be designed a bit differently and may project a stronger signal. It is probably best to use a transducer specifically designed for the intended use.
