Old school was to hang a lantern off the side and sew on a sawbellie and drop it ~ 5-10 ft below the school of bait that will show up.

Hey people, anybody out there ever go or still go on prairie dog shoots? Looking for info on outfitters or self hunts in Kansas or Montana for now. Thanks.

Where are you located? 

I believe these aluminum boats have metal stringers, except for the front engine mount which is a small block of wood attached to metal. My starcraft islander has such set up. The transom wood should be looked at. If it was stored covered all the time (and in the slip) the transom bottom should be OK.

Todd, what is the magnification of the scope?

I have a place on Keuka and a walleye carcass washed up on my shore last year. It appeared to be about 15-16 inches but it was only a head and skin. It looked like it was filleted. Maybe caught somewhere else and brought home and cleaned. Surprised the heck out of me, didn't know they were in there. Fished that lake since I could hold a pole, never caught one.

Hey guys, is the launch open on Sandy creek? If not is East Fork still launching?

PM sent earlier.

Boga and that other one mentioned are somewhat expensive. I bought on just like the boga with weight scale and ruler for about 12.00 on line. can't remember where, just search fish grips and you'll probably find it. They do work great with the rope.

Ditto on Harvey. He just got some good lead!!!

Last time I talked to Mike( Tom's help) he said 10 bucks. About 3 weeks ago.

I think there's a launch over on empire that is open.

Harv,   I have a place on Keuka Lake, we did a trade a few years ago, I had some flat lead plates, came to your place. I will be down there 1st week of August. I have your number. I will call you and set up a time. 

Hey Harv, do you still need lead? I have around 80 to 90 lbs

Troutman in Watkins Glen makes and sells them. Search torpedo weights for his number. They were around 35 bucks a couple years ago.

Gambler probably is docked in sandy.

Any 1/2 in hardwood waterproofed also. A layer of thin rubber would be good as before mentioned for vibration.

You will feel a definite click when it locks.

Are you pushing lever up and either lifting or pushing down the chamberlin  at the same time? Can't remember which direction off the top of my aging head. Just trying too lock the lever won't work.

For a fixed slider on coated I put the snap for the slider on the fishing line and then attach a small wimpy rubber band to the coated cable, loop around cable and through itself, then loose end in snap. This will hold it in place on coated cable where ever you want it. Good size fish will bust the rubber band and  pop release . Use  Blacks or chamberlin for release just above ball. Works pretty good.

troutman's phone number is 607-535-2390

I have fished it before many moons ago. Loaded with largemouth bass, some over 5lbs, and small panfish. We caught one pike also. Altogether we landed over 25 bass. can't keep them I believe. A DEC cop pulled over and was watching us for awhile. This was over 30yrs ago.
