The FLTA fishing tackle and Outdoor show will be held on Sunday March 31st..2019 at Clute Park Community Center, Watkins Glen NY., 9:00 to 2:00 pm.

 thanks Harvey that show is one of the better for actually picking up goodies!! The Brewerton show is coming along nicely for us eastern end guys.

Well there it is!! Thanks for being the ginny pig. With a no lose situation for you. Lots more won't get the shaft!! You tried!!.

Looks good Kevin, this Saturday my in laws place goes up for auction and will free up a lot of time for me. Bitter/sweet ending, but will get the old smoker going again!!.PAP

Pretty cool!!! Thanks for sharing. Love the eye attacks.

I saw this place of all places?? IBoats.

Out in Erie they call that rig a weight forward rig, on the same principles as a mayfly rig. Happy hooker bait shop sells both rigs. I don't have one but I could tie one up in a few days really busy right now. The weight forward rig is really popular in the western basin of Erie if you do a search or go to LEU there might be someone that could show you. I tried an Google keeps showing Erie dierys. Good luck I really think these would work on lady'O.

Old saying goes, if it sounds to good to be true than it usually is!! been there done that.

Nice fish guys great video, cool of ya on the release of the big girls!!

$150.00 I'll takem and pay shipping!!

I left that slide

All in the pics is $700??

Really nice boat!! Is it 2 barrel or 4 carb floor appears carpeting?? Did the boat sit during the years with/without antifreeze in exhaust manifolds and block?? How long of a test run did you do?? Thermostat in or not?? Interested in boat. 

That's awesome!! Yes this year will go down as a record year for many folks!!! As great of a year it was for the trout and salmon this has been one of the worst for me, fishing for eyes, caught a few but not the number of other years, but the trout and other silver fish certainly made up for it. I pulled my boat last Saturday and the lake was like glass. Brought a tear to my eye to think how great of a year it was and how fast it went by. Till next year be safe and enjoy your family and holidays.

How could you think that?...... that's not music, that's just plain crap. To call that stuff music offends generations of musicians everywhere. 

I totally agree circus!!! At least there’s a few old school guys left!!! Plus I sure do hope that Hooked up gets his boat fixed right!!! It’s bad enough he had to miss any time on the water this year as this has been a banner year for sure, that should be taken in to perspective also.

While I've always liked gulp I've switched to kitech plastics for convenience and have had good results! Cheaper too

Sent from my E6810 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
 

        Been using the kitech in the charcoal/glitter & vmc stand up jig with the big eyes. They are 5 in a pack for $5.00 not cheap but what is if it works. Most of the time I can get a few bass on 1 piece but with the eyes it’s a 1 to 1 ratio they are so soft but that’s the best part of the kitech minnow. I have a friend that makes thousands of softbaits for his store and on-line business he bought the mold but just can’t come up with the secret recipe. LOL they work but not like the main brand. This new Ned system really intrigues me!! Especially the weedless swim type. Take care Justin best of wishes to you and family also the deer season.

I feel for ya BP, and the situation is not limited that that particular area either; or to one generation or another. I've had perch guys on Canandaigua, Seneca, and Keuka do about the same thing, and some of it was on purpose as they were experienced older fishermen and certainly know better. The bottom line here is that our culture has changed greatly over the years, and many people now display a lack of courtesy in many different ways; and sport fishermen or recreational boaters are no different. There are always some people that don't seem to absorb or integrate basic courtesy, shared values, rules of the road, or patience for that matter. As a culture we often seem to be pretty selfish, self-absorbed, and in many cases downright rude. Just travel out of the country sometime and observe some Americans interacting with different citizens speaking different languages, and notice that they expect those people to all speak English, and adapt to our language and customs while in their own country. We are a great nation with many generous, caring people, but not everyone of our citizens fits that model. Some display poor manners, a lack of respect for others, and I'm sure their report cards said "Doesn't  play well with others"

        Well said Les!! This year because the jet ski folks at the Black River Camp Grounds have ruined it for everyone who used to tie up to steaks drove into the bank, the fisherman and considerate folks walked along the bank and up the steps, no not those jackass numbheads they just walk strait up through the other campers lot creating a problem!! Now no one can tie off at the bank, either put your boat on the trailer everyday or rent a slip at $20.00 a day. I always got a slip as I can’t crawl up the bank with my issues, just another thing that bone heads ruined for everyone. This country is going to shyt in a hurry that’s for sure....

Beautiful fish on 9/11 the walleye gods rewarded you graciously!!! Congrats

I mostly agree with what you say. I do not like the the "Afro Engineered" thing. I hoped that as Americans we were beyond that. As for the lemon law, it only kicks in after the the dealer has made several sincere efforts to repair a recurrent problem, so it will not work just yet. I hope that it is just some easily repairable bits of sloppy workmanship.

The one thing that boat makers do not like is having their poor workmanship discussed on a lot of boating websites, because a lot of people who buy boats will read the comments in these chat rooms. If you call the warranty number ,you should mention that you post not only on this website, but also on "The Hull Truth" and "I-Boats". That usually motivates them to do the right thing.

            It’s funny that this world has come to a point you have to afraid to even open your mouth on here any more. I was instructed by a state inspector that came every 6 months in the 22 years I was in business for myself he was a Black man/ Afro American whatever is the proper term at the moment is as it might change next week. Anyway I referred a mess as a ——rigging and a college educated person with one hell of a sun tan told me he’d appreciate it if I’d refer the mess as a Afro engineered mess. I didn’t think that would upset some tender toed individuals. Just listen to the music that this younger generation listens to, but that’s ok.

Well, If I can ever afford 35k on a boat, it wont be a Starweld


Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

        My old and do mean old Sea Ray, I can say, maybe I shouldn’t put the cart before the horse,  that’s one thing I’m most impressed with is this is the most dry boat I’ve ever had, 31G less and 36 years older, Yet still not a drop of liquid sunshine was ever in the bilge area!! I would be pizzed off for sure, but at who would be debatable, if the dealer tried to do you good by cobbing something makeshift to get you through the season and it worked even halfassed I would think pretty high of him as it’s not his fault. He didn’t build such a halfassed Afro engineered boat from the get go!! I’d demand my money back under the lemon law and purchase a better manufacturerd boat.  Best of luck whichever direction you go in!!!

What’s the difference between those and the reg offshore boards??

You also and back at all those with nice comments. Don’t want to hijack your thread!! Good folks on here for sure!!!

Best time of the year and with this weeks weather forecast it’s realy sickening to think I have to leave tonight to get my boat and close up camp because there’re closing up 2 weeks earlier than previous years,,
