Got out with the wife today. Hit the water about noon and headed east. Was out the day before with WNYFfisherman and his crew and only caught two lakers. Set up in 60 feet of water in front of Keg Creek and trolled east at 2.5 sog. Spread consisted of two riggers one with a Bloody Nose spoon and the other one with a Glow frog spoon dragging the bottom, two wire Dipsey's with SD/ flies and two 7 color LC's with spoons on the boards. Marked a lot of fish on the bottom and a few down 35 ( hence the 7 colors). Slow going at first then doubled up with a 15 lb king on a Sea Sick Wadler off the lead and a Laker off the Dipsey. Wife reeled in her first fish a nice spring king!!! A short time later she landed another Laker off the Dipsey. Had a nice afternoon and wrapped it up with only three in the boat. All were between 60 to 90 fow. My buddy Chris and his crew were out near us and they landed 5 Lakers on the same program as us. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I added the bolt and nut for weight and epoxied in the steel sleeves but was unable to find my soldering iron to melt the gap closed. I did find a tube of JB plastic repair putty in my electrical drawer so I thought I would give it a go. It's the two colored putty that you knead together and then it hardens. I pressed it into the gap and scraped the extra off with a flat bladed screwdriver. It worked flawlessly yesterday! Quick simple solutions to make the Clipper that much better. Thanks everyone for the great advice.

Two different ways with the same results. Nice job. That's why this site is the best. Great people who don't mind sharing and helping each other out.

I love the AO's Clippers but had a hell of a time yesterday getting them down and staying down the line in the wind and rain. This thread is perfect timing and I just got done sleeving two dozen releases. Can't wait to get out on the lake and try them. Noticeable difference in weight should really help them get down the line and not blow back. I only run rubber bands when pulling coppers. I found the shock absorber of the bands helps with false releases on the heavy coppers when trolling in waves. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

This is a Fishpond Shooting Star Chest / Backpack. Can be worn a simple chest pack with two choices of neck straps (long or short) and a waist strap or can be attached directly to the backpack which has several compartments, rod tube holders on the sides, rainfly in a zippered compartment, adjustable shoulder and waist straps and water bottle holders on the sides. It is used but in excellent condition. These sell for $190 and I'm asking $95. I prefer local pick up in West Seneca (near Buffalo) or can ship with buyer paying shipping. Mike

This is a Fishpond Waterdance Guide Pack. It is brand new except I did load it up with equipment but never left the house with it. If you never had a Fishpond vest or pack they are simply awesome. Perfectly designed for Steelhead or fly fishing. There are tons of pockets and super well thought out. It is a waistpack but has the neck strap and can be converted to a chest pack in seconds. They sell for $99 I'm asking $65. I prefer local pick up in West Seneca (near Buffalo) or can ship - buyer pays shipping. Mike

I love fisherman! Last couple of years everyone was all upset there was no snow/ice pack to keep the water levels up. Now we're complaining because the baitfish might take a hit. At least your prop won't take a hit this summer!!!!!

Tucker I got the rod holders today. They're in perfect condition and thanks for the super fast shipping!!!

Email sent I will take the two 9" high Dipsy rod holders for $75 apiece.
