true. Probably hoping people spend the money they saved on merch., hotels, whatever.....But I'm sure most out of state hunters/fisher already have a cabin or camper and won't spend more than what they already do. Best hope for that are the 1, 3, or week licenses holder spend more, but that won't account for a drop in the bucket compared to what we will lose.

I get where you're coming from and understand. I was only talking about the fishing side though. It does kind of suck (for NY res) that the non res side is getting a huge diacount and that we will be paying for it in the long run. Any idea what their resoning was?

yup. looks like PA. http://fishandboat.com/fishpub/summary/licenses.html Getting a 5 year non-res license is what? $8-9 cheaper? eh. Guess it's OK but I'd have to live closer to PA and especially wander into PA waters while fishing quite frequently. But, on a NY note, fishing licenses are getting cheaper. Not too ofter NY drops prices on anything.

For trolling, i doubt you'll need 1080p 60fps unless you have a lot of room to put the files. If you're doing something with a lot of action, go for it. That setting might be a little overkill, but still works!!

Multiple batteries, handlebar mount, (depending where you mount on the boat, maybe the floaty backdoor in case it decides to take a dip). I've been using iMovie on my Mac, but with any video software, there is gunna be a steep learning curve to begin. Even though I have three batteries and a charger on board, I still use the 720p setting with 30fps I believe. With any kind of HD video, it's gunna take up space. Lotsa space. IIRC, each file will be about 4gb per full length video (on my setting. May also due to the format it is recorded in). If you plan on recording all weekend, a single 32gb card will be tight. With the prices of class 6 or 10 SD cards, there's no reason to not have multiple cards available. On a side not about the battery, I found that after a few FULL cycles, the battery did last a bit longer.

Reason?

and what do you use to sharpen them bad boys?? And you should turn that spoon the other way. If the hook is dull, prolly gets worked over often. you should show us what it is

First replacement hooks I bought were Owner and never had a reason to change brands. Nasty sharp outta the package and darn tough.

damn I hate those things

register the trailer in Main. It's good for two years, MUCH cheaper, and no inspection required. Assuming someone takes care of their boat, they also take care of the trailer. Been doing it for years on multiple types of trailers, never had any issues. edit. Whoops. Just saw Bigfoot's post. Agree 100%.

I know when they get to close when they have to lift their dipsy rod so the line doesn't hit my board.

Not to discredit your experience this year on Erie for 'eyes, but it was like last year for Kings on LO. It was stupid good this end of the lake. Anything in the water was getting hit...and often. Plus if you lost a ball on rigger (running cable), just tie the same wire not you use on your wire dipsies.

God I had IE. I only use it when I'm forced to, and this is an example why. Chrome or Opera is the only way to go.
