Frogger

SH, I’ve got a 60 Terrova. 19ft Sea Nymph GLS. Not sure if my bow is higher or lower than the FM. I don’t use it for steering while trolling which was the main factor in me going with the 60 vs the 72. There have been times though out on Seneca on strong south winds perch fishing and it comes up out of the water. Would I go to a 72? Nope. I’m more thinking to myself I’m ready to go in because I get called crazy for being out in the weather vs I’ve should got the 72. Other points you made are true. I probably would go to a 72 however if the FM sat higher in the front than mine and or your going to use it for steering while trolling. You cannot afford the mess if it’s rough and it comes out of the water making a mess of your gear. Just my thought.

Wow creek had some flow Les. Looks like maybe a year there going to be spread out a little from the holes. Good crowd as always.

A flock like your describing came through the Phelps area last week, covered a 75 acre field like it was white with snow, crazy

Yea baby! Easy Peasy! Thanks Rick!

Sent you a PM YT.

TJ, thanks for offering up the chance for me to get more information from you. I for one understand the time put in in addition to your normal work. I sure wasn’t looking for an answer today to my questions. Looking forward to reviewing the highlights.

Nice collection!

TJ, Based on your meeting results from the Western Zone group recommendations, what were the several different factors that you mentioned the group reviewed? Im interested if if any of the below perceptions / topics were covered; in addition to what the group covered; 1. Continued reduction in funds per # hunters for migratory waterfowl habitat support 2. Continued drop in state rankings for waterfowl hunting 3. Continued drop in sales for state revenue 4. Continued drop in duck hunting groups from NYS and the surrounding states who no longer hunt NY. 5. Balancing of duck bag limits per species based on seasonality climates 6. NYS DEC Wildlife division is focusing on continued growth in hunter opportunities, while the waterfowl groups are personalizing seasons to their benefits and needs thus reducing hunter opportunities. Last question, how is your group defined by having success or an acceptable report card? Is it from within the groups perception that it supports or do you perform statewide feedback or other similar measures that shows the groups positive / negative impacts as a whole? Be interested in seeing those posted. Just looking for transparency. Thanks

Irg, what reason again do you feel the need to remove this? Meaning I read your part where you say it’s plugged but I was thinking it’s because you were trying siphon from it or blow air back into it. Have you tried to pump gas from it like normal with a fuel line bulb?

I’m wondering if it’s an anti siphon device, I think I had one on my tank when I tried to drain it. Can you put a line on it with a primer bulb and pump gas through it when you squeeze the bulb?

Actually they are rated up to 140hp or 1800 total lbs motor, gear persons. I’ve got a 115hp evinrude on mine that weighs 295lbs. That 90 4 stroke Yamaha looks like 320lbs. He’ll be fine. Sharp motor.

Road-trip!

Pm sent Scott.

Hell to the ya!

That green frog Les is near and dear to me… love that color

Why single strand copper vs the woven? Would think the later would be easier on the hands and less likely to snap. Braided copper doesn’t get down as fast due to weight or drag. I’ve seen some use it though. Shallower water like 25-40ft will work. Also tends to pick up weeds more so than single. Definitely softer feel to your point though.

Les, I think we should get Whaler up on Lake O this spring in let him try is hand on a big laker……….
