  1. Tony Buffa Charters is the top gun . he will show you what you need to get the job done . my go to was buck tail jigs, swim blades ,worn harnesses with a bait walkers and drift . have trolled stick bait a and worn harnesses with luck too . but i prefer more of hands on when eye fishing .
  2. nice looking pike Mark , Good job ! Les looks like you could have had ice skates on out there no snow at all .
  3. i switch to the micro lead last year . like you said had same issue. i did the same as above post have said . i too had the lead poke through the sheathing . after getting the lead back in side the sheathing i used gorilla super glue that stop the lead from poking out .
  4. algae bloom most likely . seems to be every year now . it comes and goes as the water warms up . not sure who dose the testing probably the dec . when it test safe they open it back ...
  5. the two finger lakes i fish were high in the spring . one permanent dock was under water for a little while and floating docks were fine and you din't need hip waders to get on the dock . by mid june every thing was fine
  6. the way thing are going we will be lucky ice will be out by the the middle of April . Putneyville west to the nuke plant is good . or Sodus point west to maxwell creek
  7. be nice to see the rock snot clean up in the marina if it is not dying
  8. The fish dying off .the lake going to hell .most likely a trash burring plant going in close to Sampson park . now the state getting out of the marina at Sampson , witch i agree not a bad thing . could probably mean heavy construction going on . you said your self you sent some of your clients other places due to bad fishing . i think its time to slip on Cayuga or on Ontario , put fish on the deck and better your charter business. keep an eye on the Seneca area if it improves maybe go back or not ....
  9. tell that to the Black river and the Niagara river in the spring . they can roar with the run off
  10. if you took a water sample from seneca it will be clear as shine then a sample from cayuga you see cloudy murky and planking in the water. for being connected i believe water flows from cayuga to seneca but that worries me also
  11. i would like to beat Fishsticks in one of the finger lakes derbies . all kidding a side . would like to meet more fisher men / women on the the lakes we fish help out who i can with fishing information . continuing staying safe and i too want to keep from breaking the boat and put fish in the boat ..Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to every one ...
  12. hope this don't mean the winning fish in the national lake trout derby will be a 5 lb fish minus the the 2 1/2 lb lamprey attached to the fish ........??????

  15. i have a TC omega i bought for the starter in line and i still using it . when i first starting shooting the gun i couldn't get no better than a 3 inch group . i was loading the gun with 100 grains of pyrodex and powerbelts cci 209 primers . i switch to 100 grains of triple 7 and hornagy sabots with the xtp bullets . the group got better but not where i wanted it to be . then for some reason i loaded it to max load 150 grains of triple 7 same round the gun became a tack driver . for years now that is what i load 150 grins of triple 7 and 250 gr hornady sst cci 209 primer . i like it so much that i hunt with gun all gun season . for hang fires i never had one . this is how i load the gun after a wet patch dry patch i use a bore butter patch with no breach plug in . clean breach plug so i can see light threw it . put some breach plug anti seize on it install . then a 150 grains of triple 7 and then put a little bore butter on the sst sabot . then seat the round not to crush the pellets ....
  16. was it found on the finger lakes , i'm thinking sculpin
  17. here in NY it's not required to wear orange and it should be . basic hunting safety course taught me to treat a gun as it always loaded to keep the muzzle pointed a safe direction at all times and to identify my target and beyond . these things keep me accident free for 42 years now THANK GOD . there was an accident shooting this year here in NY a lady was walking her dog on a trail and was shot and killed the hunter shot after sun set and now is up for manslaughter charges . he was so pump to take a deer he shot at movement after legal hours. what was the lady wearing i don't know . to many hunter don't follow the basic rules they were taught .
  18. i had 2 stroke kicker a long time and last fall i bought a 8 hp tohatsu 4 stoke witch was seen running before i bought it of course . i put the motor on a stand hook up the ear muffs ran the motor to get it nice and warm . after warmed up i unplug the fuel line witch the gas was treated for storage . as the motor was running out of gas i sprayed engine fog threw the crab intake to it stop running .took of the muffs and took the plugs out and turn the kicker motor over for a couple minutes. sprayed engine fog in each cylinder turn over a bit and put new plugs in . change the engine oil and lower unit oil . covered it standing up right all was find came spring so did the same this year . i haven't done any thing with the thermostat in any of the kickers i have owned in 30 years for the winter storage . so i'm curious to see what a marine mechanic will say on this
