  1. x2 on the flukes, all you need is the pearl color or the pearl with silver flake (maybe called pearl ice), and the 3/0 EWG hooks work good. Maybe think about a zara spook or one knocker spook also, these are my top producing topwater by far, catching both bass and pike. You can cast pretty far, and imparting a walk-the-dog action is pretty easy.

  2. x2 on the rattletraps, you cant work 'em wrong and they catch fish. My favorite is the strike king red eye shad, but any old rattletrap should do the trick. Your pretty much spot on with all those choices for simpler fishing styles, you cant beat plastic worms and senkos.

  3. for casting, you cant beat little cleo spoons. I used to use exclusively 3/4 oz cleos for all trout and salmon, and still do for salmon, but have started to use 2/5 and 1/2 oz cleos for trout. For salmon, silver, silver/blue, silver/chartreus, orange/silver, and gold/orange, as well as glow cleos at night are the way to go. For browns, i like silver, silver/blue, and silver/orange or gold/orange. Yo can get away with farly light mono, maybe 12 or 15 lbs, but i like using heavier powerpro braid in 30-40 lb. You can cast alot further, and if needed you can add a leader.

  4. had a nice mount done by mountain man taxedermies (you can drop it off at mitchells baitshop on lake ave right by the charlotte pier), saw some nice mounts of kings and trout when i picked up my largemouth.... $10 an inch hurts, but thats pretty much the standard price, and memories with kids are worth the price :yes: If i remember correctly, the actaul taxedermist was located by hamlin off the thruway

    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

    ====================

    Not sure where to post this as its not quite a trib, but rather "Location X" ;) The brown trout were staging, and there was 5 or six decent sized kings hangin out. The action was dead until i saw a ripple, cast to it, cranked twice, and BOOM! fish on!!! After a 10 minute fight this guy came into the boat, unfortunatly with a big lamprey wound, but otherwise healthy in full spawn colors and real chunky.

    I also hooked into a smaller king, maybe 15-18 lbs but got in the weeds and shook the hook. Fishings a little slow, but the bites produce real good size fish. Cant wait to get out tommorow after school :)

  6. Thanks captain. From monster pike, good numbers of largemouths, walleye, drum, the occasional catfish, browns, and salmon, the ponds are my favorite place to fish in this area. Even when i get my liscence in january, i wont be needing to drive anywhere for some prime fishing, made even better from a yak. The area has as well provided me with some great memories which have further increased my love for fishing, and i can now truly admit, i am a fishing adict :) College is only a year away, so i've been trying to get in as much fishing as possible (3-5 times a week) before i have to leave the big O. Thanks again capt. Vince, over the year you have provided me with some great hints and tips that have realy helped me become a better fisherman :clap: I'l have to invite you down in the spring to do some fishing in the area, maybe from a yak if your feeling adventurous.
