    i stopped by field and stream in Henrietta today and noticed they carry bay rats now.so if anybody wants some you won't have to wait to ship

    i guess the use of snubbers is just personal preference. in my experience the hookup rate is higher without them.

    the most important thing about wire is to always keep it tight on the spool.always let it out slow so it planes out as it's going back.when it's out keep the drag just tight enough to not let the line creep out if you are not planning on using snubbers. it's not hard to fish with and it out fishes braid in my experience

    i bet that brown hit on a weight rod. big fish love that setup

    there is a new marina being built right next to the launch and the construction crew blocks it off to keep people out of the way.i have been using it on the weekends and going to shumway across the river during the week. docks will be in at i-bay soon.

    yes definitely small baits.the south end is very weedy and is the best largemouth and pickerel fishing .also is where springwater creek feeds in and where the rainbows are coming out of this time of year. don't get discouraged by your summertime trolling results.hemlock can experience deep water oxygen depletion in the summer which confines the cold water species to a narrow layer of water.this is where the sonar helps.keep at it. you will figure it out

    the dec used to stock some landlocks into hemlock when they had extra but it has been awhile since they have.they have been trying to get the natural population of rainbows to recover so they haven't stocked browns there either in the last 4 or 5 years.it's a good lake trout fishery and the bass and pickerel fishing is excellent.sounds like you're not fishing deep enough for summer lake trout.you can catch them shallower in the spring.a decent fish finder helps.

    lol! i knew this was going to happen. i've been throwing one in my spread and it caught 3 or 4 my first trip out this year but nothing since.the new "magic" baits are never as good as ones you have confidence in.hey minion are you going out this weekend?

    depends on the water clarity. use lighter in clear water and heavier in the green and stained water.

    i just called the city of rochester information hotline and they said they have no record of it being closed.i am going to use it in the morning

    use steel leaders to prevent bite offs from those big girls they have up there.

    i have 6 accudepths that i use for browns.they are twice as good as the magda's .if you're going to use them a lot for walleye and browns you might want to consider spending a little more and get the sealine

    this is just my opinion i'm sure people will disagree. i fish to relax and have fun and fishing with long coppers(longer then 400)is not fun to me.if i need more depth out of a 400 then i use a 4 ounce dive bomb that adds another 15 to 20 feet of depth. close to the same of a 500

    it's all about the pre fishing for any tournament. best of luck to you

    wow that water has to be at least 20 feet low

    i agree with the sears die hard marine batteries.they have a 2 year warranty on their better ones while most only have a one year warranty. all batteries have a sticker with the delivery date so you know how long they have been sitting

    i tried putting a 5 color core out on a offshore once.it didn't even pull that very well.

    August can be tough for numbers of pike especially in the bays. i would say your best bet would be the deep weed edges around Clayton.If you're drifting with minnows and not getting any action then move deeper and look for them suspending

    I like power pro the best.40 # has the same diameter as 10# mono.the color doesn't bleed out of it and it's made in the usa. fishusa.com has bulk spools at a fair price

    i'm curious about how well this works.when you're running just the first segment do you let the second segment all the out past the rod tip?does it drag in the water?it seems to me that if the second segment isn't past the rod tip and is rubbing against the rod tip in the wave action then the lead would eventually wear out. thanks

    I have never fished otisco. Are alewives present there? I know in conesus it is pretty tough to catch summer walleye because they suspend and gorge themselves on alewives.Does the bait population have something to do with it?I used to fish conesus a lot and have caught thousands of pike compared to only 6 or 7 tigers. i'm no expert on tiger behavior
