You should send your info to the guy that runs olcott marina there.  Believe his name is Scott Schfler.  I can't believe there were 5 mph south winds out there today but people would rather debate on how far off shore Salmon guts should be dumped.  No offense Paul but you do understand every mature king we catch in a season out there dies. Yes EVERY mature dies after fighting and taking por*o shots with it for twitter pages.  That is what happens when a fish goes from 40 degree water to a 90 degree boat deck.  Is that charter who is dumping guts into that newfane marina really hurting the place. Have you guys opened your eyes to what that marina looks like.  It should be located in downtown buffalo, what an eyesore.  Come to Wilson if you guys really don't want to put up with such a minor problem.

i have seen guys in wilson harbor dump guts too

Gee wiz Joe, way to hurt my pride! LOL. I guess I need more Salmon Schooling. We just could not get a King. One of the 3 we lost was another Coho. The other two were nice Steelheads. If you don't mind sharing, can you tell me where you found the Kings, for my education, so next time I will know something to try.  One time I did try real deep 150 feet , but I didn't keep it there for very long. The rest of the time my riggers were one at 50-65 and one at 80- 90. Most of the fish were caught on a 30 lb mono chinook diver, with a BassPro Holgraph thing, trailed by a spoon. The weeds did not bother that as much as the SD's, which were constantly weeded up until I removed them. We fished from 15 out to I'd say 330. Most action was deeper, on steelheads. Thanks, Garry.

do you have a lundish type boat with orange lettering or trim? if so i mean we were literally right next to you

no tape for me. couple wraps of thread on head.... first color mylar... couple wraps thread... 2nd mylar... couple wraps thread. last mylar...   heavy wrap thread... tie knot.. super glue

The netting should be same action as shoveling snow. Quick entry into water , scoop, and raise back out of water. Do not put net in water until you are ready to scoop or you blow back the netting.  The rod man in my opinion has more to do with netting than the netman. Rodman stays at back of boat til fish nose comes to surface just behind boat. At that point hold tip hi and walk directly  behind netman and guide fish in net. 

The pinch pad works great but if you have rubber net it can tear webbing. Other option is paracord tied to deepest part of basket and ties to handle at opposite end. Pull rope tight when grasping shaft to keep netting from dangling. As soon as fish enters basket let go of cord

Gary,We were fishing same water as you today. Fleas were awful. Had to handline a few fish cause they clogged up the eyes.    We went 12 for 18..   just under 19bs biggest . Landed another mid teen but dropped 3 other matures, one of which straightened a hook on 400 copper 30 feet behind the boat after a 20min fight

the biggest problem i have found with the fighting belt shown in the above pic is that it sits too hi for smaller kids and it places the reel up in their chin area.  i made a neck harness that i lopped around my sons neck that places the butt end just above his knees allowing the reel to be around his waist area which gives him optimal mechanical advantage when fighting bigger fish 

my best advice is to try and hook up with other local fisherman if you know any and get out with them to see how they do things. take pieces of everyones program and customize it to fit your needs.

We are back up, sorry and thanks!

sarah, thank you for the quick response!!

so what do i do as i try to go online now to sign up my boat to derby fish tmrw and when i hit the register now tab it leads me to a page titled "future site of something cool"

60F surface temp today. down almost 15degrees from last week. i had one probe at 30ft, another at 75. 43F througout the column.  finally found a surface break in 360fow and moved rods there but with the blow today and tmrw it will get worse for sure and push em off shore

crimps for terminations can cause fraying at the connection. i use the wire knot that alot of us use for our dipsy terminations and have never had a problem plus never have to buy a connector again. tie right to the blacks release and small heat shrink over the tag end

okuma classic pro glt has dedicated dipsy rods in 9' and 10'

victorinox breaking knife

i took the average of the coordinates that most posted about that snag and put a skull and crossbones waypoint on my gps to avoid it. two weeks ago my copper got hung up on something and tore off. when i looked at my screen i was only .2 miles from the waypoint

There's one in Wilson harbor on the street headed to the pier but they're rarely open. Might be worth a check if you're in Wilson, but I wouldn't go out of the way to check.

they are no longer in business

dont need clinchers to attach the blacks release. strip some coating off the cable (burning it off and using sand paper to get it back to a sheen works best) and tie it directly to the release with the wire line knot many guys here use to terminate their dipsy rods.  use the rubber tape to cover any exposed wire

terminate your coated cable with a blacks release. the probe clips to the blacks release then a break away chain from the probe to the weight. the main line now clips into the release above the probe so even as the probe spins out of the water it doesnt wrap around the line
