  1. Does Cliff Davis have a website? If not,does anyone have any contact info for him?
  2. I have caught many Landlocked salmon on the finger lakes that have the green back as well.
  3. How big are your swivels? Are they so large that they could be hurting the action of your spoons? especially the lightweight ones? Small quality swivels! Maybe a little lighter leader?? As far as colors we had good luck on standard stingers in alewife, and chicken wing, and just about anything firetiger in the mud! Sk8man, that deal with the wine cork is very interesting. I bet there a bunch of guys with black boxes thinking about that right now
  4. Besides obvious weather problems ( waves, storms, etc) What are your favorite weather conditions to fish? What are your least favorite conditions to fish? If you could draw up your perfect conditions to catch fish on Lady O what would they be?
  5. We caught a dozen last year out of sodus on feb. 23rd. water was 36-39. one was 13.5 lbs.
  6. The only thing I can add is that the wire does not stretch at all so it adds action to the dipsy and obviously your bait presentation as your boat travels through the water. I know braid doesn't stretch that much either but the wire is a presentation that can't be replicated with any other type of line. There really isn't anything comparable to holding onto a 30# king ripping on a wire dipsy!
  7. I don't know what size reels you have, but size 30 Okumas seem to fit 1000' of wire just right.
  8. It's just a guess, but I don't think that walleye ever met Jenny Craig.
  9. This has been great! I am so glad I started this thread! I am definitely closer to a name for my rig!
  10. Michele, Thanks again for the pro pack from the raffle. I really appreciate it. This is a great promotion! I can't wait to see what the next six pro packs I ordered have in store.
  11. Pretty good looking spoons Bob. Especially from a guy who told me at LOTSA he prefers Bass Fishing!! WTH???
  12. Has anyone tried single hooks on these? Did you get any more action at slower speeds with the reduced weight?
  13. I agree. I have a 115 and it is awesome. NO complaints whatsoever. I would buy another Etec tomorrow.
  14. Anyone know of a good downrigger repair service near the east side of Cayuga Lake? I have a Penn Fathom master that is in need of some TLC. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
  15. Will we see a list of vendors and participants, like we did for LOTSA?
  16. I'll send another note to Nozzolio as well. I sent him a long letter concerning the ridiculous SAFE act (eventhough he voted against it). I will definitely send one for this. If Lake Ontario was in Wyoming I would gladly move. NY is increasing in suckiness! Like the custom word?
  17. The hook should ride at the end of the skirt on the fly. You can adjust this by the number/size of beads you use under the fly.
  18. Only thing I would add is put a full 1000' of wire on each dipsy set up. That way you don't have to worry about backing connections/failures, plus you have plenty of line. The Okuma 30's you have are the perfect size. I have 2 and plan on getting 2 more. And the fleas can't grab the wire either
  19. I have had very good luck with the Dirty White Boy. They don't glow, but if you need to catch a laker, its hard to beat behind in line flashers.
  20. I have never run a thumper rig and was planning on trying it this season. In trying to climb the learning curve I had a question. Can anyone share any kind of dive curve or depth/feet of line out ratio? For example with a 1 lb. weight I can expect to run at what depth with how many feet of wire out? Obviously speed, currents, etc... apply. I was just looking for a starting point. Any help is always appreciated! Screamin' reels
  21. Chad, I am having trouble viewing videos guys post on here. They will post a link and I am unable to even click on it to try to open it. I'm sure its something on my computer, but I'm not too tech savy. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this? Can I change a setting to view them? Any help would be appreciated. Thx
  22. I am definitely going to try building something. No way Im spending $110 for 2 pieces of sheet metal.
