FYI, to you guys using climbing stands after climbing utility poles for 40 yrs. here is a little tip. Every pole or tree has what is called a high side & a low side. The high side is what you want to climb on, look at the tree & most will lean one way or the other the high side is the side that will be leaning away from you,(like a ladder) this is the side you want to climb on it will be the easiest & safest to climb. Also this is the side you want to hang your stand on for the most comfort while sitting. Good luck & be safe!
Parked went out of business last year. a year after I bought my X bow from them! My buddy bought a ten point with the crank & it is a nice set up & easy to cock.
We did 20 lakers last Fri. (9/13) & 7 eyes as a bonus. The week before we did 25 lakers & 8 bonus eyes. All in 85-110 fow straight out & west of Dunkirk. All with Gambler rigs, even a few eyes on them. We plan on doing it again this week.
Put a rubber band through the eye on the meatball & do a 1/2 hitch around your line putting the meatball through the rubber band loop, it will either break off or you pull it off when you wind it in & get your ball back.
Just a thought, why just because the water gets deeper do "they" close everything down?? The oceans are miles deep and they don't shut them down due to deep water. JMO the water is not the problem it is the people operating the launches/docks not taking the time to move, raise, extend, repair & make the docks useable. We all pay to use the launches, improvements should be made when needed. Olcott is always great & taken care of , no reason why all the others can't be! No reason launches should be closed.

Just wondering what is your gps / sog speed you are doing? Also I think you said you are going west of the harbor & then trolling east, correct? We plan on going in the a.m.you think it is worth the trip or too much muddy water? Thanks for the info.!
I am surprised how many people worry about the recoil. Do you really feel it in the excitement of/when shooting an animal? I don't think I ever notice it even when shooting a 12 ga pump. I will notice it when sighting in after 6-8 shots. jmo
This morning the strutting old tom was chasing the young toms away from his 16-20 hens. Sure wish I knew how to post pics to show, but I just don't get it (to old & tech. dumb.) I guess. lol
Total BS, wouldn't you think our state government should have more important things to do instead of screwing with the hunters & fishermen across the state & trying to take away our 2nd amendment rights!? Maybe they should try to repeal the kill the babies law & the safe act.
