  1. Happy Birthday Jeremy. If you keep sliding east, gonna have to change your home port to Olcott, aka: "Gods Country".
  2. Just a reminder that the deadline for this Grand Finale event, is Friday July 2nd 5pm for online registration. (lopacup.net) Last couple of years this has coincided with some significant early staging, and huge catches. Don't miss it!
  3. Just want to say it was a priviledge to experience that kind of Salmon fishing again. I had seen it in the 80's, but the others were seeing the mind-boggling action for the first time. There is nothing in the fishing world like a bunch of Kings with an agenda. I think they fell victim to their migratory habits, as I didn't see as much bait there as other years. Enough to hold them, but not the type where you have to clean off your hooks like it can be there. We have that kind of bait on the southshore right now. I want to congratulate the winners, the Striker team for snaking out a few more big ones on day two. The bite was tougher, and they pulled it out. Nice work! Day one was simply incredible. We had three sets of five that would have been in contention. Look out down east, they are coming your way!

  5. I'm just too busy this time of year, but I can't resist. The REAL reason we need all those outboards is because the "hamster wheel" continues. This would otherwise be known as "the war on drugs". Its a joke. I am as conservative and Republican as they come, but we continue to spend billions and risk good mens lives, continuing a black market industry. They get to "arm up" with drug profits, while our agencies fleece us trying to keep up. They will always have one more outboard. As for needing other countries oil, WE DO NOT. But of course, those loyal to the middle east and bleeding heart liberals wont let us access OUR OWN out west. This despite the fact that the pipeline up north helped wildlife prosper, because of all the clear-cutting that ws done. I'm going back the the Chinnies, we can do this all night and day.
  6. NEW PRICE!!!! $24,000. or BO. Also has planer board retrieval system not previously mentioned. $14,000 worth of new engines in 2007!!!
  7. I've had the priviledge of having several dads, grampas, and kids out on my charters lately. Awesome to watch the dynamics and love between each other while sharing and experiencing the fishery and the outdoors. Even had a group where the kids called the model citizen "dad" and "grampa", even though they were not related by blood. Kudos to all the Fathers out there who share the outdoors with their kids, and especially with kids who don't have special people in their family to mentor and teach them. I thank you, and know although you don't do it for accolades, but what you give and share will come back to you ten times over.
  8. At least 4 high quality large white mooring fenders. $20 each.
  9. Also has wash down pump and includes spare set of props, as well as full mooring lines and fenders.
  10. Very well explained, Paul. The explanation I got was officers are not looking to write tickets for "collisions" between a trolled lure and a pursuing gamefish. This became much more common with the average troller using dodgers, and rotating flashers more often. On top of this, it is very common for a Salmon to "size up" a trolled bait (line up in its crosshairs) by darting alongside the presentation with its lateral line prior to circling back and inhaling it. Salmon, like other pelagic species often "crash" through a bait school, and come back and eat the wounded ones. All of this adds up to sometimes hooking them outside the mouth. The bottom line is, they take the lure, not the lure takes them like with intentional snagging. The relaxation of that rule here, made us in line with Tournys in Lake Michigan, where they never cared about that in the lake trolling fishery. It is widely accepted that body hooking a Salmon is a bad stroke of luck, which will most definitely result in lost time, and possibly lost tackle. It stands to reason that after enduring such misfortune that the mortally wounded fish be harvested.
  11. Quality one piece chrome color. $20 Perfect for trout, bass, walleye trolling.
  12. Very well said, Ray. For years, my Dad has preached-"its all about making memories" when referring to life in general. Although he hasn't participated in this fishery since the mid 80's, it still rings true. Just last week, a client looked at me and said, "well Vince, when its all said and done, all you really have is the memories you make, and we make 'em out here with people we care about." Also "magic moments". Thats another one of my dads sayings. It doesn't have to be fishing(but it often is), you only get so many of those in a lifetime. Team Hotline and am team "Wizzard" certainly experienced those Saturday. The Pro-Am events will give you both the best, and worst, but you will be ALIVE! I echo Ray's sentiments, the same guys who want to "stomp on my kneck" during a tournament, have become very good friends. They are the same people who are truly happy for you when something good happens for you. They will regroup and "get 'em next time." There is no better way to learn how to fish Lake Ontario than to fish the Pro-Am series.
  13. 3 left. little rough, but stout handles. The blanks were excellent back then. I believe they are from the nineties, and each rod has caught more Coho than is stocked in Lake Ontario in a season.
  14. on a Eagle claw roller guide rod, and triton is loaded with wire. $70
  15. Used in Lake Michigan as Coho rods, perfect for Steelies, Browns, or Walleyes as well. 6 rods, $15 each, or $80 for all.
  16. 8 47H reels, $35 each, or 4 or more $30 each.
  17. Anyone wishing an unbiased opinion of the fishing capability and ride of this vessel, contact Greg Dale aka "TROUBLES", he was the observer onboard this past weekend and he seems to know everyone! He shared his "Oreo donation" fish catching trick, and we shared Ted Nugent music with him!
