Fished out in front of the nuke plant all weekend with no luck on kings. What water depths were you fishing? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

ErieBuck, Not sure the PM thing is working. Got a notification that you responded to my PM but getting no message. Just let me know how you would like to be paid. Thanks, Nick

I will take them. Will send PM.

There's no nookie like chinookie!

This is probably just ignorance, but that never stopped me before, so here goes. So one of our wonderful government agencies decides that there should be protections placed on certain species, like cormorants and seagulls. For what purpose? It seems like both species' populations are out of control, to the point where they are causing environmental damage to other important species. Historically, were the cormorant and seagull populations ever as high as they are now, became depleted, and they are now trying to manage the populations back to previous levels, or what? I wish they would explain what their goal is by placing ridiculous protections on these birds. It doesn't take a Ph.D to know that populations out of balance with their environment can cause major harm to their surroundings. It's kind of ironic that protections are placed on these birds which have, in my opinion, minimal value to the environment, while allowing them to overpopulate and do serious damage to a resource valued in the tens of millions annually. Why are the folks responsible for these stupid migratory bird regulations placed on cormorants not addressing the issue more seriously considering the money that's involved? Typical government incompetence, inaction and pass the blame!

Thanks Capt. Dan. Great information, very helpful, especially to those of us who travel from a long distance. Makes it so much easier to make plans when we can know what to expect when we get to the ramp.

For all you guys out there running braid for downrigger cables, how well do stacker releases work on the braid? Any problems with them sliding on the braid or releases not holding, as I know braid is much more slippery than wire? Thinking about changing from wire to braid on my Scottys, already know I would need to change the stop beads. Thanks.

Agree with HB2 100%. The super glows don't seem to produce as well initially in dark or low light conditions, better after being in the water for a while and losing some of the glow. Super glow better in deep water, high sun conditions, but like everything in this fishery, there are a lot of exceptions because there are so many variables.

They both look awesome! Kudos to bikinibottom.

Sounds well thought out to me with all your bases covered. Would like to hear how everything turns out. Keep us posted.

Not sure why you want to do that with only one receptacle because you couldn't have power to the anchor winch and the trolling motor at the same time. If you don't mind continuously changing plugs I don't see why it wouldn't work, though. Just make sure the 12v plug is wired to the first of your three batteries, otherwise you'll be sending either 24v or 36v to the anchor winch, which wouldn't work out well. And those three prong MinnKota plugs ain't cheap if you're buying another one. Just my opinion.

A long way. I live in southern New Jersey.

I have two unused Cannon Mag10A downriggers for sale. These are the old style riggers with the slow speed motors, 60FPM if I'm not mistaken. Both of these downriggers are brand new, never mounted, never used. I bought them at the Suffern Sport Show about 15 years ago to put on my boat, then came down with a serious case of Lyme disease and had to give up fishing and boating completely, so they ended up in my storage unit since that time. That boat is long gone, so I have no need to keep them any longer. Both downriggers are complete with no parts missing. One box was opened to make sure all the parts are there, the second box has never even been opened. Both riggers come with telescopic booms, positive ion control, 200 ft. of wire, bases, single rear mount rod holder, release, and stainless steel mounting hardware. No weights included. The only thing that didn't come with the units is swivel bases. I do have two used, but in very good condition, old style low profile swivel bases that I would be willing to sell, I'm just not sure if the included bases have the correct bolt pattern for those swivel bases. Price for the downriggers is $250.00 each, swivel base an additional $50.00 each. Buyer pays shipping. A quick check online is saying shipping from my house to Buffalo would be about $20.00 per unit just as a ballpark cost. Would like to sell these as a pair if possible.

Is the used probe still available?
