  1. So....I haven't been finding any smallies in similar areas I did last year Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. Hey Fishmounter, not to put you on the spot, but can you post some browns you've done for comparison to the last posts from Fish Wish? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. Not looking forward to the traffic either but for most people down there it's the last hoorah of summer, and it's noticeably quieter after. I just can't wait for October... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. If there's no takers here, I'd suggest posting to centerpintalk.com or the used float fishing page on facebook, both have a lot of traffic Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. Calm winds predicted this weekend but I've learned to not rely too much on the forecast Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. What a bummer. You pay all that money just for a disappointing outcome. I am sorry to hear that. However, I like the stuff I have seen from fishmounter! And the guy from Angling Artisans posted above has some nice looking work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  7. Yes it's NY, and it was quickly released Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. Thanks. Tman, it was 2lb 10oz on my scale. Didn't measure length though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. Yeah I'm sorry to say I don't like how it looks either, the head is way too flat! Here's my crappie that someday I'll get a replica of... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. I was out today near Oswego, wasn't even marking any... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. Sweet! What were you getting them on? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. I never fish that area so I can't give you any solid advice, I'd just try and mark them anywhere from 15 to 25 FOW or even deeper and drop shot either live bait or finesse baits like robo worms Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. Caught a brown in the bay near grass island while bass fishing using a pit boss (soft plastic crayfish type thing) on a football jig head.....pretty random. Not sure why they'd be in the bay in 80 degree water? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. Sweet. I picked up a couple different spinnerbaits today including that T1. Kinda pricey but the feedback from this thread has me convinced. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. That's what I normally do - 18 to 24" fluoro attached to micro barrel swivel because I don't like casting a knot through guides. But I know I should get more used to doing it anyway Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. What length do most of you guys use for a fluoro leader? I have gotten so used to using strike king spinnerbaits with success that it's pretty much all I seek out now, but with the suggestions in this thread I'll branch out. Although the Banshees may be flimsy after a while, I think they look great in the water. I have a couple Revenge spinnerbaits that are super flimsy and I haven't caught a thing on - I wouldn't seek them out but I could give them a fairer chance. The soft plastic bite is undeniable, once you find them...sometimes it's painfully slow fishing that I get fed up with after half an hour and need to go back to covering water with my go-to spinnerbait approach. I'm not a tournament guy so more than anything, I just want to enjoy my time on the water, and for me covering water is my favorite option Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  17. Ok now Terminator is on my list to try...I assume they aren't hard to find? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. Even around here though bass are hitting spinnerbaits all year, especially spring and fall. Still getting them in 80+ degree water with them too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  19. Most of my setups are braid + fluoro leader Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. Here's what was left of it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. I've only had the one Banshee break and I'm sure it was from the wire straightening out on bigger fish and pushing it back into place, combined with using braid/fluoro leaders. That'd be the advantage to having a closed loop, it's just a stronger design. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  22. Out of convenience I use almost exclusively Strike King spinnerbaits whether just the regular name, Banshee or KVD. Earlier in the spring I had a Banshee break right off at the wire on a bass that was probably 1.5lbs. When you catch big fish and they straighten that wire out and you keep pushing it back into place, it obviously weakens it each time. I estimated about 20 fish on that spinnerbait though before it broke. I need to experiment more with different spinnerbaits but it's hard for me to spend $10+ on one Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  23. Couldn't find a number on their site so I emailed them last week - no response. From what I've heard, they'd take them back and fix them for free but it could take a while. What I did instead was buy newer ones off eBay that come standard on 2014/15 models. They have a big metal hinge rather than the small screw design of these seats. Any offers will be considered or possibly trades, not looking to make money on these but throwing them out seems like a shame Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  24. I'm selling two Lund folding seats that fell apart while being trailered to Quebec. I assume the shaking and bumping on the trailer caused the bolts/hardware to come loose and fall out of place. The backrest would have to be slightly ripped up and stapled back into place to put them back together the way they were. They are perfectly fine aside from where they fold, and they are about $220 apiece new. I know a lot of guys on here could either fix them with Lund's hardware or rig them up better than they originally were designed. I however don't have the patience for that, quite honestly. Shoot me an offer if interested. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  25. Yeah I went out around 6 to bass fish the bay and every boat I saw go out to the lake was heading back by 9 or so. It was looking mean out there Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Lake Ontario United mobile app
