  1. hey joe,welcome aboard,i have done the spring run many times,havent been down in a few years since i got hooked on lake o.may try to get down this year.as far as charters,i would recommend capt.rich nau of praying mantis sportfishing 315-387-1000 or capt.chris yard of irish knots sportfishing 315-263-7661.both top notch captains and fisherman.both run out of the little salmon river in mexico ny.
  2. may 1st through the 10th,spring loc .a whole week of fishing!!!!!
  3. mine did more than move,i need a new lap top!!!!
  4. WOW!!!!that was the most excitement ive had in months.just as i started reading,my wife/fishing partner walked in the door and i started yelling at her,honey,honey,a guy went out of the oak today and was banging fish,so then i had her fired up,only to be let down at the end!!!!!thanks for putting a smile on our faces and getting us thinking about spring.it cant come soon enough.less than 2 months till the loc.
  5. vetting from this site had a boat load for sale.i think it was last year,maybe shoot him a pm see if he still has some.i bought some stuff from him this winter.good guy to buy from.
  6. red eye,evil eye's???there are some on e-bay,just checked
  7. i checked out boemarine closeouts.the a68 that chas bought i found in several differnt online stores for the same price,not sure where they came up with that msrp price????i then checked 2 other electronics that boemarine had and found them also,in several other stores for the same price boemarine have advertised.not trying to knock them,they do have a large inventory of marine stuff,but thier prices dont seem to be anything great.
  8. click the little down arrow next to select a prefix,a drop down box should appear,then choose which one you want.
  9. bass pro has a 6 month,no interest pay plan going on.i do it every time they run it,dont have to lay it all out in one shot,makes a big purchase alot easier.
  10. yep.what they said. :yes:
  11. funny you should say that,while we were out late last year and things were slow,we thought it would be nice to watch the nascar races instead of listening to them on the radio.
  12. hey barry,if you were to remain silent,the world would be alot less interesting and slow fishing would suck even more!!!!!
  13. why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
  14. 1986 25' hydra-sports with twin 200 yammies and a 9.9 kicker.
  15. you are absolutely right!!!!and by the way,mine are big jons,very happy with them.
  16. i would recommend a mobile dash mount radio and 8' antenna like stated above.another feature that i have on my radio,which i feel is very important is it has a weather alert mode.you can be listening to your vhf channels and if a weather emergency is broadcast like a sever thunderstorm warning or a small craft advisory,the radio will give off an alarm and automatically switch over to the weather broadcast.
  17. juniors in pulaski,thousands of lbs of scrap a week,except for last year!!!!!
  18. what ever brand you go with,you want the whole tree to be able to rotate or each holder too and you also want the individual holders to be able to be adjusted vertically up and down.i would stay away from the non-adjustable trees.
  19. we do 100 ft increments from 200 to 500.dont see the need for 50 ft increments.and dont need to catch fish that bad to reel in anything more than 500 ft and dont even like putting that out!!!!
  20. we bought some diawa accudepths last year,like the action on them,held up to the kings,and are fairly cheap.going to add some more this year.
  21. like sk8 said,we use the big jon mini discs in the shallow water.you can put these out on your mono rigger rods.its just another presentation.you can fish them right behind the boat.we usually put one down the shute,its not out very far.so if you hook a fish on something else, you can bring it in quickly to get it out of the way.
  22. we dont use a snubber,if you set the drag right and know how to fight a fish,no need for a snubber.if you are fishing for salmon,you shouldnt have any plastic rod holders on your boat,especially for a dipsey rod holder.
  23. love the summer pics,hate the winter pics.!!!!
  24. wire only here,you dont want stretch,when the fish hits you want the dipsey to trip and sets the hook.your mono leader,which we make the length of the rod you are you using is the only stretch you want.we use okuma 30 series reels filled with 1000' of wire and 10' talora rods.there is nothing like the feel of a salmon on a wire rod,you can feel him blink his eye's!!!!!you do want your drag as loose as possible and you have to expain to people,especially bass hole fisherman,NOT TO TRY TO SET THE HOOK.
  25. nice spoons barry,looking forward to getting them wet!!!!
