Had new transom put in over winter. Pardon how screw ridden the back is.

After reinstall the mechanic changed the location of the FF transducer on the left. Fish hawk is on right... The FF on left is higher and further left than before. Think I'm going to have an issue especially in wavy conditions?

I believe the vessel being overtaken always has the right of way be it power or sail.

This is correct

Monday report: fished south of long point weeds were so so. Enough to be annoyed but not awful. Fleas required line cleaning every 30 mins with 25 lb main line

3M 4200.  

ok was debating between the 2 of them thank you

I have an older 19.5 foot aluminum with outboard........ in the very back, where the transom meets the splash area there is some separation that causes leaking. Normal calk will fix this for some period of time but my guess due to trailering, the calk will eventually fail and if im trolling with the waves and it splashes over the back she will leak.

The transom seems fine it just flexing causing this. Should I try using 3M 5200 for a longer fix?

Because the court systems are busy decriminalizing any jailed persons involving marijuana busts, and to prevent COVID spread in jails, before he left office, Cuomo ordered law enforcement to look the other way on most infractions. You pretty much have to commit murder, rape or kidnapping to see jail time. Expect fishing and hunting violations to get tossed out if someone fights the charge in court. Sad state of affairs right now. 

I dont want the truth to get in the way but isnt this Federal?

I have an 87 sea nymph fish and ski with a 2011 90 HP e-tec 

Could anybody suggest a transom saver to purchase? Do you need to know the trailer model?

Fleas are absolutely awful right now so be ready

as of right now there are few and most of them are high in the water column 

Need to add some of the larger luhr jensen doders... send me a pm or add some pics here if ya have some sitting in your garage

Do you have a launch on property now?

If he is able to own or operate any hunting or fishing related business after this it will just prove that conservation at the federal level is a sham

short leadcore 

weighted lines with spoons and stickbaits

they can actually be found all over the water column.. I personally like to have riggers deep and junk lines high and just cover all the water from 80 feet up

It was good for us but you had to search a bit for them. Imo the fish are getting much bigger ( browns, salmon) and a bit smarter there, also lots of bait. Typically an early am bite then boogie north.. still worth a early morning pass or two.

im slightly concerned with the lack of 10-13 inch salmon

normally catch 5-10 a trip

By South end I'm guessing you mean the flat before the ledge? In that case yea it was an abnormality slow year but as was stated it went from ice to warm quickly and right at prime time there was that heavy rain that turned it to mud

Our trips recently in the Myers and t falls area have been ok but fish are all over the water .

I caught a lake trout on a stick bait over 220 fow yesterday and in 80 fow marked a fish on bottom and 2 seconds later the 78 rigger popped so figured well that's a laker and it was a 23 inch salmon wtf

Dude I dont know who it is but this thing is absolutely mint and decked out to the 9's. Guy was fishing alone. I think he needs friends!

Standing on our dock today south of long point you drove by in a new Duckworth looks to be Offshore model decked out to the 9's.

Watched you catch a fish solo while the autopilot did the work.

I'm very very jealous of your rig. It was like watching a rolls Royce drive by

I think the string method really has some magic trick to to that gets that barb just right so it doesn't rip ya apart. It's pretty amazing

Had a Rapala in my shoulder once and had to pull it through and then cut the barb myself with wire cutters that works too

I was going for that method at first but it was so deep there wasn't enough hook left to push through. The string method was the way to go. It was really awful, still had a crazy ass Atlanta attached to it when I got stuck

Just thought I'd give some reassurance if you ever have a hook buried in ya really badly. The mono/sting rip out method is absolutely the way to go. Had a bad one in my hand Saturday and it took me an hr to man up and rip it out. Wish I did it instantly. No pain at all and did literally no damage to speak of. 

If you ever have it happen just do it and be glad it's over with. It feels like a leap of faith but it works

I'm in Binghamton.. you can keep me on the list of possibly would tag alongs

Will you do mix and match

I have a supply of those in 28 and mag if ya need them

You can always find lakers in 80 fow on the bottom
