Sandy Creek Easter 4/16/17
skinny420 replied to SharkHunter's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
If I plan on hitting bottom I remove all but the back trebble hook on my lures. I smash my quick fish off the rocks quite a bit and don't loose nearly as many as I did before I started removing hooks. -
for sale : usa Cannon gimbal mounts
skinny420 posted a topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
Cannon gimbal mounts I have a pair of cannon gimbal mounts I've had for a while and don't use anymore. If anybody is getting ready for this year and needs a pair of gimbal mounts I'd like to trade for something I could use. Looking mainly for swivel mounts, line counter reels, inline planers, rod holders. I'd consider any fishing or hunting stuff you don't use anymore. I had them for my old manual Downriggers so I could use them on my friends boat but we just use my boats now. I have been thinking of just selling them on eBay but if somebody here could use them here I'd rather just trade. I'd even add cash for the right stuff. I'm from Lockport and would like to meet anywhere from buffalo to Rochester. Let me know what you got! -

That is a great deal. And it isn't no exaggeration, 15% off instantly and 2 $75 dollar rebates. Thanks for sharing. Now find me a new trolling motor with the same discount! Lol -

Red LED is the best you can get white and green spooks them faster. If you just blast them in the eyes with a high power green led they will bolt fast. Same with deer and everything else I've lit up. That green does light up the night though. White LED is not as bad if you just light above them and slowly bring it into there eye's it might be OK but red is pretty much the best it will glow there eyes way out there and not blind everything including me.

Definitely ask the neighbor. That might stop it right there. Also call the police and tell them there was a problem. If you know his name give it to the police. That way they know if they are called that the guy was warned and needs to be charged with a crime. Hopefully that works. But if you here a gun shot. Run back there as you call the police. Don't let him take any deer off the land. Tag it and keep it. Have him arrested. Have him pay for any damage from driving on property and any damage he had done to the tree he put a stand on. Do not give in. Not even an inch. Press charges and be at court and make sure he pays the price.

These are expensive. Even a non working one. Is there a single part you need or do you just like tinkering and having parts? -
Don't bother me if you buy your meat at the store or at carter whitetails. Not for me, mainly cause I dont have money like that. I'll take small does for free. I always wondered what somebody would say if I got all dressed up in camo with face paint and filmed a hunt where I walked out to the pen behind my uncles and shot his goat, proped it up on its feed trough for photos. Gave a speach about how I'm excided to have this "trophy". Lol. Bet people would freak out. But in the end those trophy photos do draw more people to the sport. Might have to make a video when my uncle puts that goat down, or maybe sight fishing videos at the pet store. They got some peacock bass there and I always wanted to catch one of them!

The Scotty, pro troll, and the Cabellas brand say they "attract" fish. Says you need different voltage for different fish, and the new Scotty digital has pulse mode to trigger strikes. So, since they recommend different voltage for different fish and since I fish for all those fish I figured it might be worth a try. And the cheaper ones cost less then a tank of fuel it might be worth a try, or at least a thought. Regardless of what my boat puts out now. It isn't ideal for all species. And if pulse mode triggers 10% more strikes on staging kings it would be a no brained must have item for me.

Good for you to make an attempt to return it. I wish somebody could find and return all my lost stuff. Lol. Good reminder that we should have contact info on all of our good stuff. Everything my grandfather ever owned had his name and number on it. He got lots of lost and stolen thing back over the years.

Cant target them. I'd rather catch a steelhead. No way can you do anything to not catch them and still catch steelhead. I don't try to touch them unless I have to or its huge and I want a pic. They are just to fragile.....and slimey. Usually unhook them and dump them back. Touch there gills and they are dead and your boat is covered in blood.

Steelhead question / new to Lake Ontario
skinny420 replied to gw2kpro's topic in Tackle and Techniques
I'm a noob basically too....but there are days you can't get any and days you can't run too many lines cause you can't keep them off your lines. Usually just spoons does the trick and I'm surprised you didn't catch any. I've got them off boards, cheated riggers, dipsys, copper. Pretty much anything you throw at them sometimes. -
Downrigger balls? Diy?
skinny420 replied to skinny420's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I was looking around and seen these http://www.ontariofishing.net/productshowcase/ridgebackrattler.html they have rattles so if I got a mold I could put ball bearings in copper pipe inside or ??? But would that be worth trying? Would it rattle? I'm getting the mold so I can try different colors anyway but might try making some rattlers of some sort. -

You appear to have an addiction that has lasted many years. Its cost you lots of money....but do you think you can just quit cold turkey? It will cost you even more to get your fix again if you sell this all now! If you need money now then sell it for a loss. But its worth holding on if your not sure, I'd just box it up and write retirement on the box and put it on my closet where I see it every morning. Never too early to think of retirement savings and that's a solid investment that will only gain in value. Awesome buy for anybody if he does sell! -
I'm new to riggers on my boat and was gonna get a mold for fish shaped weights. What I was wondering is if anybody has used or made weights with rattles in them? They would probably not be good but maybe....I was thinking a rattling weight with glow paint pulling a big flasher and meat rig might piss of a mature enough....has anybody tried glow paint on a weight. I was thinking of making up a bunch in random colors to try out. Should get lots of streakers for sure.....but will they streak at or away from them is the question......maybe this season just has me bummed....If you throw everything you got at em and come up short...you gotta get more stuff to throw at em or give up. Next year I'm rattling my way around with electric glow weights. Lol

Did anybody use a black box and not like it? Why? I'm just reading about these and I'm new to riggers. I'm thinking about trying this next year. Not really sure how it all works but, it basically just puts electricity on your downrigger cables. Can it be rigged to my 2 Downriggers and 2 wire dipsy rods? Has anybody rigged them to dipsy wire?

I fish olcott. Caught 2 salmon 20-25lb and lost 2 in a 100 cast flurry 2 Saturdays ago. 38,000 casts later and few hookups seen since then. Night crew doing OK but not great. Its hot as hell out and there not moving in daylight really. If I had anything good it would be posted. Its tuff this year and you might get lucky but most likely you are gonna have to put in time to pick off a few. I can't fish night so got to cast any chance I get during day.
