That really sucks. I had a bearing go on my trailer a week ago. I know your pain of coarse I was laughing when the tire passed me Lucky it happened on a back road near home. I don't know if there is a tractor supply close to you but they should have what you need. Good luck!

Thank you! I had the burn marks to prove it! I edited the little guy out but he sure made a mess.

Must be loving the new boat!

Cannon has a couple of options but the tracks are nice. Walleye tackle store has almost everything you are looking for and decent prices if your a online shopper

My report for the weekend viewtopic.php?f=14&t=32096

My best spots were in front of Olcott and Wilson in 250FOW but did great anywhere from 100fow to 300fow. Good luck!

10' Eagle starfire Rods with a twillie tip have a great action and hold up very well to all sorts of abuse like otterboats and coolers sliding around in the boat smashing into them. oops.

Shimano Talora rods Roller are nice but lots $ or even the normal eyelets with a twillie tip. I recommend either. They are all great rods.

Nice brown! Sounds like a great day!

Hot spoons this past weekend for me were

Dreamweaver 42nd

Dreamweaver Diehard- Mag and slim size

Stinger Goby

Stinger BlueDolphin- Mag and standard size

Cannons Single axis and Dual axis Rod Holders I think are the best on the market these days. I know a lot of guys use the bert rod holders as well. They are both durable and they are both ratcheting. Cannon rodholders are a one hand operation.

Heres another one a day after in front of Wilson in 200fow. Dipsy down 160 with ATOMMIK Shocker spindoctor paired with BigWeenie's Pole Dancer

Steelhead

15mins long

Cool Video. I'm sure it won't be long and you will get some big kings on film.

Head to Elmira. Hills Valleys and steams is probably the best tackleshop you can find near Seneca

I took the big king on a wonder bread spin doctor and the big weenie whistling dick. Took a few small kings but it was all spoon action for the most part. Sorry but I should have hit you up on the radio. I wasn't to far from you on Sunday

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Sat-

Decided not to fish the B&B on cayuga and we decided to fish Lady O. Launched at Olcott at 5am and we had some big motor issues so I said the heck with it and used the kicker to get out and fish We hit a lot of small kings all day, with the occassional coho and steelie. the best fish were a 18lb king and 9lb steelie. 3 color was on fire with a froggy spoon. We ran 3 color, 5 color, 150' copper, 3 riggers spoons down 25, 60 and 90 down with sliders, 4 dipsys-spoons and flasher/fly at 140, 160, 200 and 270. We also and a flat line out for cohos.

Sunday-

Was very slow to start. Launched out of Wilson and we hooked up with decent king in 200fow but nothing for hrs after that. The wind picked up to give a little chop and it was game on. we picked up some good cohos and a lot of small steelies. Also the kings started to bite. We started to pack up for the day and the distress call was called over the radio! Has anyone heard any news on that? Anyways my deep wire parked at 270 that did not take anyfish fired and started to peel. Landed a 20lb king which ended the weekend on a bang. We had a great time.

Might see you out there. Leaving early in the morning. Good luck!

I use 30# big game as well. Standard dipsy size I don't run a snubber but if for some reason I run a mag dipsy I will put a dreamweaver snubber on. From dipsy to to the fly should be about the length of your rod. You want to go long but not too long that you can't boat the fish.

I run spoons off of a dipsy but never behind an sd. I think it would mess the action of the spoon up. The sd provides the action to the fly.

I would recommend using 50 lb power pro backing but you could buy another roll of wire for the price it cost. I strongly recommend buying another spool of wire. Torpedo 30# runs $33 for a spool of 1000'. It will last for years. The big game mono is the cheaper route and will work. Use an Albright knot to connect the 2 together.
