    It is interesting and you may have stumbled on to something. I have caught them occasionally on them behind cowbells over the years but to catch a couple bows on them that way is something to think about. They also respond to worm harnesses with dark blue plastic worms by the way:) Nice going:yes:

     

    Thanks!  The bigger one hit like a hammer and was very acrobatic.  Leaped a few times getting it back to the boat.  Bent the treble hook too

    Canandaigua 8/25

    Haven't been out in a long time so I took the day off.  Headed out at 6:30 and lines in around 7.  First rainbow at 7:30 next around 9.  Both on gamblers on dipsy and jet divers out 230 over 200.

     

    First around 4 pounds next seemed around 7?  No scale on board

    Bird barrel for 870?

    I did this same thing a couple years ago, try cheaperthandirt.com.  Midwayusa (as mentioned above) is also good

     

    It is cheaper to buy a new barrel rather than a whole new gun.  You can get Remington factory barrels and I believe Mossberg makes barrels for the 870 too.  Either should work, though I stayed with a factory barrel

    I was there on saturday on the north end.  Tons of bait (like the finder screen was lit up with them) but nothing large and no takers on live bait.  It was too rough for riggers and I wasn't sure where to go either being only my second time on that lake.

     

    I'd like to give it another try though

    Lund boat canvas

    Good info, however I've found that a few different companies make the canvas.  It all depends on your model and the year (as I suspect their suppliers change from time to time)...  As an example, my 1875 Crossover has Dowco canvas and I think I've seen at least one other brand of supplier.

     

    As an additional option for folks, check out greatlakesskipper.com .  Their stock rotates often, but I found "sport tops" for my boat there for a fraction of the dealer prices.  They have lots of other accessories as well. 

     

    Edit for you, copperpin:

    Twins go perch fishing.

    Sounds like they had a great time!  I'm looking forward to when my twins (aged 2) are old enough to go out with me.  My older daughter (aged 5) just started getting interesting in fishing in our neighborhood pond last year.  I want to take her out on the boat this summer.

     

    I still remember going out with my father and his friend when I was young.  We'd water the lawn the day before and head out at night to catch nightcrawlers for the next day's trip.  Lots of fun!

    Try greatlakesskipper.com  I've had good luck with them in finding odd parts.  You may have to keep visiting them on occasion though as their inventory seems to change fairly often - so what they have now won't necessarily be the same in a month
